An X-Wing Crashed in the Middle of Hollywood Boulevard for the ‘Rogue One’ Premiere
If your West Coast roadtrip plans take you anywhere in the vicinity of Hollywood Boulevard, maybe ask Siri to reroute you, on account of a giant X-Wing fighter that’s just materialized in the middle of the road. Well, it didn’t exactly come out of nowhere — this is all ahead of Los Angeles’ Rogue One premiere on Saturday at the Pantages Theater. Had you forgotten that this movie was coming out?? Not anymore, sucka! Now there’s a giant spaceship between you and your favorite avocado toast cafe.
It’s Founders Keepers in the New Trailer for Michael Keaton’s ‘The Founder’
The Founder, which stars Michael Keaton as the man who stole McDonald’s away from its creators to form the multi-billion-dollar burger franchise we know and love, stars its awards qualifying run today in Los Angeles, complete with a brand new trailer.
Will Ferrell Will Pwn Us All as a Middle-Aged Competitive eSports Gamer
There’s a whole new world out there, hidden beneath the underbelly of the Internet, where gamers compete in virtual tournaments and make millions of dollars through individual sponsorships. Will Ferrell is delving into this world for a new comedy from Legendary, in which he will play a middle-aged gamer on a team full of teens trying to make some big bucks in the arena of eSports.
‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Trailer Is Here, and We Hope Optimus Is Okay
It’s big, it’s loud, it’s here: feast your eyes on the first trailer for Transformers: The Last Knight! After a truly weird production period that involved dragons, King Arthur, igniting the ire of British vets by dressing up Winston Churchill’s childhood home as a Nazi headquarters, and the usual level of Bayhem, we finally have our very first glimpse of the fifth installment in the inexplicably popular franchise.
‘Kong: Skull Island’ Trailer Tease: All Hail the King
Kong’s helicopter hatred continues in the new trailer tease for Kong: Skull Island that the movie’s official Twitter account posted earlier today. In the 9-second clip, the big gorilla can be seen with both halves of a helicopter in either paw, ready to smash them into the ground. It’s an extremely cool shot, one that shows the immensity of Kong from below and makes him look way scarier and more primordial than he’s looked in any movie thus far.
Rumor: We May See Executioner Stormtrooper in ‘Star Wars Episode VIII’
Throughout the years, the Stormtrooper design has had subtle changes from movie to movie — even in the original trilogy you can see how the helmets and armor were updated with every installment in the series. For The Force Awakens, which takes place decades after the events of Return of the Jedi, we saw some more changes in the design, plus a few markedly different upgrades. Now, there’s a rumor going around that we could see a very special Stormtrooper design in the upcoming Episode VIII: the Executioner.
Kevin Hart Is Our New Santa Claus for Disney’s ‘Dashing Through the Snow’
When you think of Santa Claus, what do you think of? Fur-lined red coats? Red- and green-wrapped presents? Cookies left out by the fireplace? A successful decade-and-half-long standup comedy and acting career working with the likes of Judd Apatow, Ice Cube, and Dwayne Johnson? If it’s that last one, first of all, really? Second of all, you’re in luck, because professional standup comedian and actor Kevin Hart is in talks to play Santa Claus in Disney’s Dashing Through the Snow.
The ‘Friday the 13th’ Reboot Has Found Its Setting and Script
It’s been a long time coming, but after almost a decade, producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are ready to start working on the Friday the 13th reboot. The original 1980 Friday the 13th is a horror classic that introduced hockey-masked lunatic Jason Vorhees to the world, but its sequels over the years have left a lot to be desired. Even the 2009 remake was just not that good. Now, it sounds like Fuller and Form, who also produced The Purge series, are ready for another go at it.
Petition Launched for Quentin Tarantino to Direct ‘Deadpool 2’ After Tim Miller’s Exit
When Tim Miller exited Deadpool 2 over creative differences (with Ryan Reynolds, of all people!) we were pretty shocked. The first Deadpool was great, an R-rated, funny, and blood-soaked respite from the formula we’ve come to expect from Marvel, and the prospect of a sequel was equally as exciting. But with Miller’s exit, Deadpool’s future has become a little more uncertain — so uncertain, that fans have set up their own petition to get Quentin Tarantino for the sequel instead.
Check Out the ‘Power Rangers’ Heads in the New Motion Poster
We’ve seen them in all their gear, but we haven’t seen the new Power Rangers with their cool visors down — until now. Yesterday, the official Power Rangers movie Twitter account unveiled a new motion poster that shows off the Power Rangers’ cool helmets and what they look like when they’re in full Ranger mode.
