Wonder Woman 1984‘s First Trailer Is Here to Bring Justice to the Reagan Era

Diana’s back, this time in the glitz, glamor, and the glut of corruption of the 1980s. Greed is good, baby, though I imagine Wonder Woman might not agree. Finally, after a far-too-long wait, the first trailer for Wonder Woman 1984, the sequel to Patty Jenkins’s Wonder Woman, is here, with Gal Gadot and Chris Pine…

Wonder Woman 1984 Is a Sequel, How Is This Even a Question?

Someone at Warner Bros. is trying to convince us Wonder Woman 1984 isn’t a sequel to Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman. For some reason.

Here’s the First Look at Kristen Wiig in Wonder Woman 1984, Courtesy of Patty Jenkins

Wonder Woman 1984 won’t be out for over a year and we already have our first image of the film’s villain. Meanwhile, the Shazam movie, which is out a full seven months before the Wonder Woman sequel, has yet to reveal a single official image except a logo. Hmm. Writer/director Patty Jenkins took to Twitter…

The Wonder Woman Sequel Just Got a Cryptic Update

It’s always fun to play the guessing game about comic book movie plots based on the carefully selected tidbits of information that studios decide to disclose in the months leading up to the project’s release. The Wonder Woman sequel is no exception. Today, DC Entertainment president and Wonder Woman producer Geoff Johns gave us a…

We Saw Ten Minutes of Alexander Payne’s Surprising Scifi Film Downsizing

I feel like a bad reporter for admitting this, but when I heard Alexander Payne—the director of movies like Election, About Schmidt, Sideways, Nebraska and The Descendants—was making a new film, I just assumed Gizmodo/io9 wouldn’t cover it. I didn’t even look into it. I knew I’d see it, probably love it, and it would…

Movie Review: Ghostbusters Isn’t Perfect, But It’s So Much Fun You Won’t Care

Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters is a film for anyone who ever watched the first Ghostbusters and thought, “I wish they got to use their guns more.” It’s bigger, brighter, and louder—the sort of movie that features the Ghostbusters shooting ghosts in slow motion set to the iconic theme song. It’s also incredibly funny. The only problem…

I Could Watch Kristen Wiig Perform Hannibal Lecter Monologues For Hours

This is so weird and hilarious: as part of W Magazine’s “Casting Call” video series, Kristen Wiig, Jane Fonda, Mya Taylor, Carey Mulligan, and Greta Gerwig read one of Hannibal Lecter’s pointed monologues from The Silence of the Lambs. Fonda is a boss no matter what, but Wiig kind of steals the show, as you…

The First Announcement Trailer For Ghostbusters Asks Who You Gonna Call?

That’s right, it’s a teaser trailer for a trailer. Our very first look at Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters doesn’t show off much: just shots of New York City, frantic police officers and the Army, as well as a tease of the original’s theme song. Apparently, the first official trailer will drop on March 3rd. Mark your…

The New Ghostbusters Costumes Have Been Revealed

Director Paul Feig just revealed the costumes for his Ghostbusters film, starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. They’re definitely similar to the ones from the 1984 original film, but have a more realistic, fire fighter vibe to them. But that’s not the only Ghostbusters news today. Earlier this year, news broke…

Kristen Wiig’s Humble Start With The X-Men

When most Saturday Night Live cast members are asked where they got their career started, we tend to hear the same answers: Chicago’s Second City, L.A.’s Groundlings, and the UCB Theater right here in New York. Kristen Wiig, however, has a much more interesting story to tell. On the Late Show, Wiig recalled how she…

Americans are an alien species, in Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s Paul

On the surface, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s Paul looks like a drugs-and-sex-addled reimagining of E.T.. But Paul, opening today, is actually also about how America is an alien planet. Spoilers ahead… In Paul, Pegg and Frost (who co-wrote the script) play two British nerds who visit San Diego Comic Con and then travel across…
