This New Indiana Jones Poster Belongs In A Museum, But You Can Own It

Like an Indiana Jones puzzle, what you see above is just part of the story. It’s part of a brand new poster by artist JC Richard that takes one of the most iconic scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark and turns it into a painfully beautiful limited edition poster. That poster, called Well of…

Watch The Best—and Creepiest—Part of This New Telepathic Thriller Right Now

It’s the worst nightmare you probably didn’t know you had. That your thoughts are no longer your own. In Listening, a new indie movie, the ability to read minds has been invented—and, as you’d expect, it doesn’t go particularly well. In an exclusive clip from the film, which hits on demand and select theaters September…

Colin Trevorrow has started work on Star Wars Episode IX. Or, at least he’s started doing something Star Wars related. The Jurassic World director posted the below image on Twitter, which is pretty crazy considering we’re still three months from Episode VII, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and about 20 until Rian Johnson’s Star Wars…

Ben Affleck’s Batman Is So Good, They Want More of Him in Batman v Superman

Two years ago, when Ben Affleck was cast as Batman, no one would’ve guessed it could come to this. A new rumor says the studio is so excited about his performance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, they want more of him in the film. How much more? Heroic Hollywood reports that “Warners is…

Can This Real, Working Imperator Furiosa Prosthetic Be Beat? We Think Not.

Someone made an actual prosthetic based on Imperator Furiosa’s from Mad Max: Fury Road. Is saying something is “shiny and chrome” passé yet? I love this. Not just because it looks so good, but because there’s competence porn to go along with it in the form of the detailed process photos and writing from the…

See the FantastiCar and H.E.R.B.I.E. That Almost Made It Into Fantastic Four

I don’t think having a flying car or a lovable robot could have saved Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four movie, but by god, they definitely couldn’t have hurt. As it turns out, both H.E.R.B.I.E. and the FantastiCar were almost included in the film, and here’s the concept art to prove it. The art comes from concept…

The 40th Anniversary Python Holy Grail Box Set Doubles As a Working Catapult

It’s hard to believe that the greatest achievement in comedic filmmaking is already 40 years old. And to help get another generation hooked on the antics of Monty Python, the 40th anniversary box set of Monty Python and the Holy Grail includes a tiny (but working) cow catapult. What kid could resist launching bovines and…

How Filmmakers Use Aspect Ratio Tricks in Movies

Often, it’s the things you don’t notice that make or break a movie, and there’s no more subtle mindfuckery than playing tricks with aspect ratios. In this wonderfully educational short video, Now You See Itexplains how different aspect ratios — and switching between them — can be used as thematic devices in movies. I’m ashamed…

Which Character’s Vacation Ended Up Being the Biggest Disaster?

With Labor Day traditionally comes the end of summer vacation and the start of the school year. And in order to stave off any sadness about that, we say, “Remember how vacations suck?” It’s never fun to end up working when you’re supposed to be relaxing. But it’s even worse to find yourself forced to…

Whatn-E Is Stranded On Mars In This Mashup Trailer For The Martian

In some alternate universe, Pixar’s Wall*E was about a small robot stranded on an uninhabited Earth, voiced by Matt Damon. Someone’s mashed up the trailer for The Martian with the animated flick, and it works out pretty nicely! As a bonus, the video’s creator put the two side-by-side: [Andy Weir]

Okay, Someone Explain to Me What the Red Sox and Star Trek Have In Common

This isn’t a riddle. I swear to god, I need someone to give me the reason that the Boston Red Sox are having a Star Trek night. I do know that baseball was important to Deep Space 9, but that still does not connect these two things. On the one hand, at least the choice…

That “Ancient Romans vs Chinese” Movie Is a Total So-Bad-It’s-Good-Gasm

I have to confess I have an ulterior motive in urging everybody in the world to watch Dragon Blade this weekend: I am dying to see the GIFs that people are going to make of this movie. So many GIFs. Endless, wonderful GIFs of WTFery. This movie will never stop giving me joy. We posted…

It Turns Out Tom Holland Has Been Researching Spider-Man for Years

Actor Tom Holland, somewhat recently cast as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, just posted his bona fides for his role as the webslinger—namely, some dope Spidey pajamas he wore as a kid. Well, that or it’s the new Spider-Man costume and it’s going to be extremely form-fitting. Contact the author at [email protected].

Hear Two of the Villains of The Force Awakens Speak For the First Time

Force Friday, the massive marketing push of all the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens merchandise, is mere hours away—but the flood gates have already opened.

The Goonies Is Becoming A Unique Interactive Experience, And We Want To Go

Will fans ever get to see a sequel to The Goonies? Probably not. We do know the film’s writer is struggling with the idea, as is director Richard Donner. However, in a new interview, Donner reveals The Goonies is on its way to becoming a unique, immersive stage experience. “We’re going to do an off-Broadway,…

BB-8 and Puppies is the Cutest Thing You’ll See This Week

Images, videos, and reviews of the Sphero BB-8 from Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit the Internet today, and they’ve got fans in a frenzy. Some are even salivating over this high-end $150 toy.

How On Earth Can Pixar Make a Worthy Sequel to The Incredibles?

Ever since Disney and Pixar announced they’d be making The Incredibles 2, I’ve been obsessed with it. Partially that’s because I’m such a huge fan of Brad Bird’s original, pitch perfect superhero team/family film. But also it’s because I can’t figure out how the hell they’re going to make it work. For the first time…

This Is What An Office Run By Vampires Would Look Like

Even if you haven’t worked in an office environment, you probably have an idea what it’s like. Monotonous, quiet, bland—at times, it’s almost like everyone is possessed. Which is pretty much the set up of the new vampire movie Bloodsucking Bastards. Check out three exclusive clips! The film, which hits limited theaters and on demand…

I Have Some Serious Concerns About the Captain America: Civil War Movie

The way Marvel keeps jamming superheroes into the third Captain America movie, the more it sounds like it’s going to be Avengers 2.5, with the twist being that the Avengers are taking sides against each other. Everyone loves seeing their favorite heroes take each other on, but the original Civil War storyline is so inherently…
