The future of theEvil Deadfranchise is starting to take shape. It’s been no secret thatSam Raimihas wanted to continue expanding the Deadite-infested series of films since the massive success of 2023’sEvil Dead Rise, and, since they’ve made their intentions clear, two projects have already been confirmed. One of them, a spin-off hailing fromSébastien Vaniček, who recently deliveredthe spine-chilling French spider horror flickInfestedto U.S. audiences earlier this year, just got a massive update from the director himself regarding a release and a title....

Ben Schwartzis set to voice the titular video game star in the film, which will co-starJames Marsden,Tika SumpterandJim Carrey.Sonicis, of course, based on the hit Sega video game franchise that has sold more than 360 million copies to date.The game features a hedgehog named Sonic on a quest to defeat Doctor Robotnik, a scientist who has imprisoned animals in robots and stolen magical Chaos Emeralds....

WithKraven the Huntercurrently scrounging for scrapsat the global box office, it looks like the latest miss fromSony Pictures' Spider-Man universe (or SSU) will also be its last. A franchise thathas consistently scrambled to make a name for itself in Hollywood’s crowded superhero landscapeover the past six years, the collapse of the studio’s fledgling universe represents one more failed attempt to replicate theMCU’s success, which naturally begs the question of how we got here....

Ever wonder what it’s like auditioning for one of the biggest film franchises in history?Kelly Marie Tranexplained just that on an episode ofCollider Ladies Night. While celebrating the recent Blu-ray release ofRaya and the Last Dragon, Tran took some time to chat and retrace her steps to her most recent accomplishments. Of course, that meant discussing the film that changed it all,Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Prior to joining theStar Warsfilm franchise as Resistance mechanic Rose Tico, Tran was working hard to break through by making her mark in the improv and sketch comedy scene....

Sometimes, I’m not sure ifThe Dark Knightwas worth it. Sure, it’s one of the best superhero films ever — and one of the best films, full stop, of the last 20 years — but it has also led to the misguided mimicry of countless on-screen superhero stories to follow. We see this in so many ways, but perhaps my least favorite example of superhero stories trying to copyThe Dark Knight(and missing the point) is in the Some Men Just Want to Watch the World Burn villain trope, explained in the video below....

The summer movie season is officially here, but things are starting off a little differently from previous years. There are no Marvel movies or action blockbusters out just yet, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of great films to check out this weekend. Here are the seven best new movies you should be watching. ‘The Bikeriders’ Where To Watch: In Theaters ‘The Bikeriders’ Review: Jodie Comer Is the Heart of a Mixed Bag of a Movie The motorcycle drama stars Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, and Tom Hardy....

As an avid and frequent hater of theHays Code, I often write about how much I love raunchy, swear-filled, uncensored media that contains all the multitudes humans can muster…this article is no different! However, this time, we get to explorefantasy, which is a genre often relegated toLord of the RingsandGame ofThrones-type medieval dramas despite being such a broad umbrella that it includes subgenres of subgenres. Superhero films, supernatural dramas, time travel, and even some sci-fi are a part of the fantasy family, and it’s time we stop pretending otherwise....

A delightfully adventurous new trailer forSteven Spielberg’sThe BFGhas dropped today along with a selection of new high-resolution images. The trailer takes viewers on a field trip into the magical land of Giant Country and answers the question of just why the title character–a big, friendly giant–has decided to take one particular little girl off to his homeland. We also get a glimpse of some of the other giants who live in the land; they’re surprisingly large (even for giants) and most decidedly unfriendly....

Given the audience likely to seeThe Fight, I doubtEli B. Despres,Josh Kriegman, andElyse Steinberg’s documentary will change minds, and that’s okay. Not every political documentary should be judged on whether it’s a successful piece of agitprop. Instead, it’s better to viewThe Fightas a potent reminder of a mere glimpse of what America has endured over the past four years. Following just four of the 160 lawsuits the ACLU has filed sinceDonald Trump’s inauguration,The Fightshows how much the Trump Administration has attempted to obliterate civil liberties and shred the constitution in a way that would have been unusual for even a typical Republican administration (for example, it’s hard to see Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz trying to ban all transgendered service members in a tweet)....

The American veteran experience is one that is wholly unique, and also extremely personal. While citizens can certainly show their support in a number of ways, it’s impossible to entirely empathize with exactly what it’s like to fight in a foreign warzone for our country. It’s through first-hand accounts and, yes, fictional art that we can hope to understand a mere portion of what it’s like. That’s one of the primary focuses of filmmakerAlexandre Moore’s Iraq War dramaThe Yellow Birds....

There’s a common theory about being able to spot great artists on a roll. Each film or work that they make feels like a summation of their past work and, finally, an act of transcendence from old ways of doing things. The vast, wild world ofThe Grand Budapest Hotelrequired knowledge and comfortability with physical animation and shooting in closeted spaces, lessons thatWes Andersonlearned fromFantastic Mr. FoxandThe Darjeeling Limited. The all-consuming sense of a distinctly American and thrillingly modern media machine at work powered the betrayal inGone Girl, a feeling that first was born in the kinetic, hyper-connected technological world ofThe Girl with the Dragon Tattooand the not-so-true-to-life chronicling of real events inThe Social Network....

EveryPlanet of the Apesfilm brings a new technological challenge. WithDawn for the Planet of the Apes, WETA tested the limits of adding rain to CGI & MoCap created apes – and now withWar for the Planet of the Apes, they seek to top themselves again: this time, by exploring snow and its effects on CGI created fur. Per VFX producerRyan Stafford: “When Matt [Reeves] and I were finishing the last movie and we were just starting to think about [War for the Planet of the Apes], he said to me ‘Next movie: apes in snow’ and then he walked away....

When the credits roll on early episodes ofAvatar: The Last Airbender, they reveal words familiar to many: “directed byDave Filoni.” Years before he became Lucasfilm’sChief Creative Officer, the main architect ofStar Warsas we know ithelped shapeAvatar’s irresistibly compelling atmosphere: something both sweepingly larger-than-life and intimately character-focused. Those descriptions are also familiar to any viewer of Filoni’sStar Wars: The Clone WarsandStar Wars Rebels, the animated series that established him asGeorge Lucas’s hand-picked pupil and storytelling successor....
