Brandon Routh explains the rules for zombies in Dylan Dog’s first clip

New horror comedy Dylan Dog follows a supernatural peacekeeper (Brandon Routh) who mediates between the zombies, vampires and werewolves of our world. This first clip lays down the guidelines for zombies, and we managed to ask Routh himself to elaborate. As you can see from the clip, the zombie beauty regime is complicated, so we…

“Your Highness” is a dick joke with a heart of gold

It’s hard to make a fantasy movie whose central dark magic moment is called “the fuckening,” and still manage to convey a sweet, schmaltzy message about love conquering all. And yet that’s just what Your Highness does. This flick has all the goofball friendliness of a classic stoner movie ala Cheech and Chong, combined with…

All-Child Mad Max reconstruction looks absolutely stunning

Marvel at the incredible images from this kiddie Mad Max photo shoot. Swapping out the main stars from Mad Max for kids was pure genius. Check out the littlest Road Warriors! Shot for Kid’s Wear magazine, the images were a collaboration between Tino Schaedler and Achim Lippoth. Via SuperPunch.

William Shatner and Jonathan Frakes both pitched Star Trek TV shows

Star Trek hasn’t been on television since Enterprise went away in 2005, but that’s not for lack of trying. Not only did Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies) pitch a show, but so did past stars William Shatner and Jonathan Frakes. https://gizmodo.com/pushing-daisies-creator-wants-to-make-new-star-trek-sho-5068676 At least, Frakes told UGO in an interview published today: I had a Star Trek…

Lars Von Trier has made a disaster movie, Melancholia

Watch Kirsten Dunst experience the end of the world, Lars Von Trier style, in Melancholia. Possibly NSFW, due to naked Dunst. We kind of love that the Dogville director’s apocalyptic story is titled Melancholia, like it’s the end of the world, but we’re all pretty meh about it. The premise is simple, “Two sisters find…

10 Scifi films that are better than Serenity and Empire Strikes Back

Look, let’s face it, we all love an internet fight. It’s the American pastime, the sport of kings, and the game of life. The point is, it would be sad if we let the fighting die down after Serenity beat Empire Strikes Back in our March Movie Madness poll. To keep things spicy and send…

Hanna proves action movies can be beautiful

If you’ve gotten used to action movies featuring an efflorescence of computer-generated images, and endlessly wobbly cameras, then Hanna will be a revelation. The film, which opens today, features absolutely a slew of beautiful and disturbing images, but director Joe Wright (Atonement) also films action with an unblinking intensity that goes along with the Chemical…

New Thor clip features blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Hawkeye cameo

Marvel just uploaded a new clip from Thor, in which a certain bow-and-arrow-toting Avenger can be seen dangling from a crane (at about 24 seconds.) Not to mention, Thor getting down and dirty in the mud!

Your Highness’ evil wizard explains the dangers of magical erectile dysfunction

It’s not always easy being an evil wizard — just ask Justin Theroux, who plays the villain of Your Highness. His character needs to have sex with Zooey Deschanel to create a giant dragon, only to run into performance anxiety. We talked to Theroux about the pressures a wicked magic user has to deal with…

Why futuristic assassin movie Hanna is the anti-Sucker Punch, according to director Joe Wright

In person, Saoirse Ronan is slight and delicate-looking, even more than on screen. When we interviewed her about her new film, Hanna (opening tomorrow), we were wondering how she becomes one of the world’s deadliest superhumans. Ronan explained to us how she became a killing machine, and what it’s like to play a character who…

First look at vampire Colin Farrell in the Fright Night reboot

A pulp-style bug attack movie with science heroes!

I love the teasers for this pulpy flick about dimension-hopping bugs who attack 1940s America. Luckily, Professor Jack will come to the rescue – using science! And fighter planes! Now you can help fund the completion of this swashbuckling tale. The filmmakers are asking people on Kickstarter to help them finish the sound design for…

How Hope Larson got to adapt Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time to comics

At the Larson spotlight panel at Wondercon, she was asked how she got this plum assignment.…

Jon Favreau challenges “faith and fear” with Cowboys & Aliens

Earlier this week we saw the aliens from Cowboys & Aliens first hand at WonderCon. The one thing that stuck out wasn’t the spoilery alien reveal, but the religious banter between the cowboys.
