This New Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 Trailer Is Stunningly Epic

Two things this new trailer for Mockingjay Part 1 trailer has over the San Diego Comic-Con teaser: 1) it has a lot more Katniss, and 2) it is epic as hell. We’re already losing our minds that we’re going to have to wait until November 20th, 2015, for Part 2, and Part 1 isn’t due…

Ted 2 Set Photo Promises More Flash Gordon

The sequel to Seth MacFarlane’s big comedy hit Ted (centered around a kids’ Teddy Bear that comes to life, grows up, and becomes a problematic adult Teddy Bear with a heart of gold) is currently under production. And main character Mark Wahlberg has released a slightly spoilery set photo that promises the return of Flash…

Destiny Recreates Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Dancing Intro

What if the Star-Lord popped up in the space world of Destiny? It would probably look a little something like this. Destiny and Guardians of the Galaxy, two great tastes that taste great together. Somewhat Awesome Games created a little dancing homage to the GOTG intro, and while it lacks the impressive moves of Peter…

The Batman v. Superman/Star Wars Crossover We Didn’t Know We Needed

It looks like a stormtrooper just got busted by the Gotham City Police Department trying to carjack the batmobile. GCPD: 1, Empire: 0. This photo was actually tweeted by Zack Snyder, part of an ongoing battle between his twitter account and Bad Robot’s, which has tweeted things like: I have to say that with this…

Star Wars‘ Final Scene Is Ridiculously Awkward Without Music

Take out the triumphant score from John Williams, throw in a little foley work, and the throne room scene from A New Hope becomes a steaming pile of uncomfortable silence. This is way funnier than it has any right to be. For comparison, here’s the scene with score intact: Auralnauts, we salute you – but…

Edge of Tomorrow Deserves Serious Respect For Its Practical Effects

We lovedEdge of Tomorrow. We love it even more after watching this behind the scenes footage, which reveals the film’s extensive use of practical effects. Plenty of live action missiles and explosions to be had here, with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt performing a ton of their own wire stunts – and in their bulky…

The Twelfth Doctor Describes A Beloved Movie He’s Never Seen

Fine, so it’s not the Twelfth Doctor as such (it’s Peter Capaldi in his turn as the delightfully foul-mouthed Malcolm Tucker), and it’s not just any beloved movie. But mercy, is it ever fun to imagine everyone’s favorite Gallifreyan swearing his way through movie reviews of movies he’s never seen. I’d watch the hell out…

10 movie myths that can never actually happen in real life

We see some things happen so often in movies that they start to seep into our reality. We totally think they’re real. Like thinking the asteroid belt is some dangerous road or that firing a gun to break a lock works or that silencers truly silence a weapon. But nope! Those are all myths that…

Your Friday Evening Dose Of Swords, Dragons And Scenery-Chewing!

Just imagine if Game of Thrones was made for pocket change, instead of having its lavish budget. Actually, you don’t have to imagine it — we’ve got a clip from Merlin and the War of the Dragons, to show you what that would look like. Merlin and the War of the Dragons is the work…

First Ever Trailer For Daniel H. Wilson’s The Nostalgist Looks Good

Before Robopocalypse was published we were already fanning over Daniel H. Wilson’s fiction work, specifically his short storyThe Nostalgist.And now that story has been turned into a short film, and it looks good. It looks really good. Watch. Directed by Giacomo Cimini the story is set in the futuristic city of Vanille. Here’s the summary…

Watch How The Monstrous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Were Created

One thing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie had going for it was gigantic turtles. They were definitely giant, green turtle-esque looking monsters. And now watch the best scene from the entire movie (that was basically improved) get created. ILM’s VFX supervisor Pablo Helman released a video to Wired with the rest of his FX…

With Part III, Atlas Shrugged Becomes An Awesome, Torrid Romance

Like The Hobbit, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand was too awesome to adapt as just one movie. And now at last, the movie trilogy is complete. And the third movie is by far the most entertaining, because it focuses on the torrid romance between railroad genius Dagny Taggart and the dreamy, lion-coiffed John Galt. Spoilers…

Where Do We Sign Up For The World’s Most Extreme Haunted House?

The trailer for The Houses October Built already has us fuming with jealousy. It centers around a group of friends on a October search for the scariest and most intense haunted house ever. A trip I would give my last dollar to go on. And of course, things go terribly wrong. This POV footage film…

Iran has premiered an awesomely bad knock-off of the awesomely bad Top Gun, which tells the “official true story” of Abbas Babaei’s role in the Iran-Iraq War and his rise from fighter pilot for the Shah to major general for the revolutionary Ayatollah. Titled Passion of Flight, there’s even a Persian version of Goose.

Wearing the Suit from Edge of Tomorrow Would Basically Kill You

Those guns… would rip right off those armatures. Weapons, especially heavy weapons, cause a lot of recoil. I mean a lot of recoil. For comparison, I am going to consider the machine gun farthest back to be comparable to the US military’s 240-G. Do you see the way he is directly behind the weapon with…

Wildly Emotional Biopic Shows The Dramatic Beginnings Of Walt Disney

Behold the trailer for Walt Before Mickey, which shows the modest beginnings of the world’s most famous animator. And no this isn’t a Funny of Die video this is a real movie about Walt losing his shit and his money, a lot. Based off the novel, Walt Before Mickey: Disney’s Early Years: 1919-1928 by Timoth…

Underworld Reboot No Longer a Reboot

Instead of starting the franchise over with a full reboot, asreported earlier. Instead, we’re getting a sequel with some new characters. The Hollywood Reporter says that the fifth movie in the vampire series will center around David, Theo James’ character from 2013’s Underworld: Awakening. Now far more recognizable, thanks to Divergent, James is reportedly set…

It’s officially the time when all the indie horror movies coming out in October start releasing their early buzz trailers! We love this time! Check out the new trailer for Housebound, a movie about a girl under house arrest in a haunted house. This New Zealand film puts a twist on the classic haunted house…

Turns out Hollywood isn’t so gay-friendly after all. A new study of 5,700 members of SAG-AFTRA found way more widespread (and blatant) discrimination against LGBT performers and other professionals than you’d have expected (or hoped.) There’s a town hall about it, being livestreamed at 5:30 PST.
