Hey, Denis Villeneuve, Please Go Ahead and Remake Dune if You’d Like

Frank Herbert’s Dune is one of the most iconic pieces of science fiction ever. It’s been adapted into live-action twice, with varying levels of success, but most fans agree no one has come close to getting it right yet. But maybe Denis Villeneuve can. Villeneuve is the director of Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario, and the upcoming…

The Director of Doctor Strange Thinks One Asian Character Makes Up for the Movie’s Biggest Screw-Up

In the continuing saga of Doctor Strange: Accidental Racist, Scott Derrickson’s latest defense of casting Tilda Swinton in the role of the Ancient One is that, hey, they cast Benedict Wong as Wong, who is Strange’s sidekick and servant in the comics but is a powerful master in the movie. After removing him initially. In…

The Toxic Avenger Will Return in a New Film From a Sausage Party Co-Director

In 1984, The Toxic Avenger put a little company named Troma on the map. The company spent the next several decades launching careers, staying independent and grossing out even the most steel-stomached film fans. Now, their greatest creation is making a comeback.

Wolverine 3 Set Up a Villain, Mister Sinister, in X-Men: Apocalypse

It’s probably not a huge shock, but Simon Kinberg and Bryan Singer’s audio commentary on X-Men: Apocalypse seems to confirm that Mister Sinister will be the villain in the third Wolverine movie. X-Men: Apocalypse’s post-credits sequence was pretty obviously about Wolverine, since it showed a man packing up a vial labeled “Weapon X” into a…

Snowden Movie Might Actually Be Worth Seeing

Reviews for the new Oliver Stone flick, Snowden, have begun to trickle in from the Toronto International Film Festival and it may come as a surprise that some critics are into it.

Tom Hanks and Ellen DeGeneres Having a ‘Pixar Off’ Is Too Adorable

Pixar fans probably didn’t think to tune into Ellen recently when they saw Tom Hanks was on to promote Sully. But Hanks and DeGeneres share Pixar in common, and the two took the occasion to not only share some fun stories, but also to improvise what might happen if Woody met Dory. It’s a super…

Neill Blomkamp Shares a Glimpse of What He’s Working On Next (Alas, It’s Not Alien)

Extremely infrequent Instagram user Neill Blomkamp took to social media this week to share an enigmatic image, with the vaguest of descriptions: “Working on new things. Currently not alien.” So what might the next project on the Chappie and District 9 director’s slate possibly be? It’s probably safe to assume it’s not a rom-com: Blomkamp’s…

The Voyage Home May Not Be Star Trek‘s Best Film, But It Is the Funniest

Star Trek isn’t really known as a comedy, and on its face, neither is The Voyage Home. It’s about the Earth being threatened by mysterious aliens, and Kirk discovering the only hope of communicating with them is via humpback whales, which are long since extinct. But somehow, combining the two results in a fish (whale?)-out-of-water…
