Poster-Crop Quiz: Can You Guess These Johnny Depp Movies?

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 05:45 PM PST

Ahoy there! Put on your funniest thinking cap, because it's time for another Poster-Crop Quiz. This week, to coincide with the release of Mortdecai, we're celebrating our favorite films starring Mr. Johnny Depp. We've collected posters from 10 of these movies and then foolishly left them in the razor-sharp hands of some guy named Edward. See if you can identify the posters from their sliced remnants below, leaving your guesses in the comment section below. The first person to correctly name all the posters will receive a shout-out in next week's quiz. A shout-out? That's harder to come by than a five-picture deal with Tim Burton. To get things started, take a gander at the poster for the criminally underseen Dead Man. Jim Jarmusch directs this bleak...

'Her' and 'Zero Dark Thirty' Producer Megan Ellison Is Getting into Virtual Reality Cinema

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 04:15 PM PST

It's important for the Sundance Film Festival to remain relevant as well as pioneering in the support of new cinema, and that's why it's significant that this year's event showcases nine virtual reality films in its artsy New Frontiers section. That's roughly double the amount of VR installations selected for the 2014 festival and fills a majority of the 13 slots in the program for 2015. Among these progressive cinematic experiences is Chris Milk's photo-realistic CGI-based Evolution of Verse, which "takes the viewer on a journey from beginning to new beginning," according to the Sundance guide. Milk, who also had a VR concert film starring Beck at the fest last year, produced this new work through his company VRSE.farm and Digital Domain...

Attention Wannabe Filmmakers: Thousands of Quality Public Domain Clips Are Now Free at Your Fingertips

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 02:45 PM PST

Whether you're interested in becoming an experimental film artist or a documentarian in need of archive material, we've got just the thing for you: The Public Domain Project is a compilation of lots of free video footage, still images, audio files and 3D models. Going back as early as the 19th century and as recent as stock photos of President Obama, this content is all in the public domain, as the name implies, and it's a mix of nonfiction and fiction works, the latter including Georges Melies's 1902 classic A Trip to the Moon and Charlie Chaplin's 1914 short Kid Auto Races at Venice.  You don't have to be creative to appreciate the project, though. I've enjoyed just perusing the clips on the site and watching bits of history and...

'X-Men: Apocalypse' Casts New Actors for Cyclops, Jean Grey and Storm

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 01:15 PM PST

Late last week, Patrick Stewart appeared on Larry King's TV show and stated plainly that he and Ian McKellen would not be appearing in X-Men: Apocalypse because the movie "is going to be looking very much at the earlier lives of all our characters. And so I don’t think we’ll be making an appearance." This isn't terribly surprising, since the younger incarnations of their characters, as played by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, respectively, were much more the stars of  X-Men: Days of Future Past. And we already heard that a couple of other characters would return, recast with younger actors since the movie predominantly takes places in the 1980s. For the younger Jean Grey, previously played by Famke Janssen, Chloe Moretz, Hailee...

Benedict Cumberbatch is already set to star as the titular character. Scott Derrickson will direct the movie, which is scheduled for release on November 4, 2016.
