| Today in Movie Culture: 'Star Wars' Travel Posters, How to Use Fake Products in Movies and More Posted: 17 Aug 2015 11:00 PM PDT Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture: Filmmaking Tip of the Day: Not into product placement?

| The 10 Best Movie-Related Uses of the 'Straight Outta Compton' Meme Posted: 17 Aug 2015 08:00 PM PDT While we expected Straight Outta Compton to be a sizable hit ever since we saw the first trailer, not everyone foresaw big numbers for an R-rated biopic about a controversial rap group who peaked 25 years ago. As it turns out, there's a big audience for that, and the movie's actual opening weekend gross is even higher than the estimate we reported yesterday. Interestingly enough, with $60 million, the movie about Ice Cube (played on screen by his son) had a better debut than anything starring Ice Cube, including 22 Jump Street. I'm not sure if this helped get people in seats, but leading up to the movie's opening, awareness circulated very well thanks to a meme generator where fans could substitute their own hometown in place of "Compton" in...

| Watch: Three 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Deleted Scenes Get NSFW Posted: 17 Aug 2015 06:30 PM PDT We've still got two weeks until we can pick up a Blu-ray of Mad Max: Fury Road and watch it over and over and over until the real apocalypse comes and cuts the power to our TV and we then go out and reenact the movie in real life (or at least just find our own interceptor and drive through the desert in it). In the meantime, three deleted scenes -- one of them pretty NSFW -- from the home entertainment release have popped up online to enjoy. If you couldn't get enough of the world of George Miller's latest Mad Max installment, these extra bits will satisfy. It's easy to see why they were cut, though, because they don't add too much to the story. The first one, titled "Let's Do This," is a brief pause for Max, Furiosa and the rest of the...

| 'What We Do In The Shadows' Is Getting a Werewolf Sequel, 'What We Do In The Moonlight' Posted: 17 Aug 2015 04:10 PM PDT What We Do In The Shadows is easily one of the best movies to hit theaters this year. If you haven't seen this brilliant, diabolically funny mockumentary about ancient vampires living in modern day New Zealand yet, A) we're jealous of your first time, and B) it is out now on DVD, Blu-ray, Digital HD and pretty much every other way there is to watch a movie, so you should probably fix that. If you have seen it, then prepare to get ridiculously excited at the confirmation that they're working on a sequel to it. But there's a catch. It won't focus on the vampires this time, but their rival gang of werewolves that also live in New Zealand and were led by Rhys Darby's character in the first movie. Earlier this year writer-director-stars Jemain... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Movie News: Cobie ('Avengers') Smulders Touted for 'Jack Reacher 2'; 'RED' Heads to TV Posted: 17 Aug 2015 12:00 PM PDT Jack Reacher 2: Cobie Smulders, who starred in the television sitcom How I Met Your Mother for years before breaking out as action hero Maria Hill in the Avengers movies, is now in early talks to join Tom Cruise in the sequel to Jack Reacher. If things work out, Smulders would play the female lead; the sequel is based on Never Go Back, the 18th novel in a long-running series by Lee Child. The movie version is scheduled for release in late 2016. [The Wrap] RED: Two movies have been inspired so far by RED, a three-issue comic book series by writer Warren Ellis and artist Cully Hamner, and now a television series from NBC is on its way. Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber, who wrote the two movies, are writing the series, which will retain the "core concept" of retired...
