Daisy Ridley Heavily Implies Rey’s Parents Will Be Revealed in Star Wars: Episode VIII

It wouldn’t be the middle movie in a Star Wars trilogy without a shocking parental reveal, right?

George Lucas Has Had Nothing to Do With the Story for Indiana Jones 5

Which means we can probably look forward to George Lucas throwing shade at Indiana Jones 5 after it comes out. https://gizmodo.com/a-not-so-brief-history-of-george-lucas-talking-shit-abo-1750464055 Just as Lucas bowed out of any storytelling ideas for the seventh Star Wars movie, the co-creator of Indiana Jones will not contribute to the plot of Indiana Jones and the Fifth Item of…

One of the Directors of Trolls Movie Thinks the Movie Will Heal the Wounds of This Election Season

This year has been one painful shot to the face after another. It’s like God decided to make 2016 his personal blooper reel. And while I commend Mike Mitchell for wanting to make a movie about togetherness get us out of this 12-month shitpile, I am pretty sure Trolls is not going to be the…

Movie Titles Translated Into a Foreign Language and Then Translated Back to English Are Hilarious

Things can get lost in translation, especially when something is translated to a foreign language and then translated back to the original language. Like movie titles. The Czech Republic can really get loose and wild with the names for American movies, and finding out what some popular movies are called over there is pretty damn…

Donald Glover Is Going to Be Young Lando in the Han Solo Movie

After weeks of rumors and hedging, it’s official: Donald Glover will be playing the young Lando Calrissian in the standalone Han Solo Star Wars movie. According to Star Wars.com, the movie will show Lando’s “formative years as a scoundrel on the rise in the galaxy’s underworld.” Honestly, all I want is Glover losing the Millennium…

Kevin Feige Has at Least One Decent Reason for Keeping Marvel’s Netflix Heroes Out of the Movies

Marvel has been signaling pretty strongly that fans shouldn’t hold hope for the cast of Agents of SHIELD to appear in the movieverse anytime soon—but now head studio honcho Kevin Feige is signaling the same for the company’s Netflix heroes.

Bruce Springsteen Really Did Write a Song for Harry Potter That Was Wisely Rejected

I am not saying anything bad about Bruce Springsteen. But I do think that his style, amidst all the grade-A Britishness that Harry Potter exudes, might have been a little jarring. Speaking to BBC Radio 2’s Simon Mayo, Springsteen confirmed the longstanding rumor that he had written a song called “I’ll Stand By You Always”…

By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth, Doctor Strange‘s Fight Scenes Look Spectacular

If we can expect nothing else from Doctor Strange, we can expect it to look absolutely incredible. I’ve not been too impressed with what Doctor Strange has shown off so far—it felt like its idea of “goddamn weird” was different to the “goddamn weird” I wanted, what with its Inception-y folding buildings approach to magic.…

Return of the Caped Crusaders Shows Why Batman Is Truly the World’s Greatest Detective

One of the greatest joys of Batman: Return of the Caped Crusader (and there are many) is how Batman deduces the clues hidden in Riddler’s riddles.

A “swashbuckling action-adventure”—that’s how director James Wan just described his upcoming Aquaman stand-alone movie. Which raises a lot of questions. What will he be adventuring for?
