| 2016 Tribeca Film Fest Announces New Movies Starring Paul Rudd, Bel Powley, Tom Hiddleston and More Posted: 02 Mar 2016 09:00 PM PST The Tribeca Film Festival, which is happening April 13 through 24, has announced the titles in its main competition and Viewpoint programs for this year, and as usual there's a lot to look forward to.

| Reel TV: 'Big Hero 6' Is Getting a Sequel as a TV Show Posted: 02 Mar 2016 07:30 PM PST Big Hero 6 is one of those animated movies that was a huge success, but doesn't necessarily feel like it because it didn't go on to dominate pop culture the same way as, say, Frozen. It not only earned over $650 million worldwide, but it won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, which was a surprise to everyone who thought How to Train Your Dragon 2 had it in the bag. Usually critical and commercial success like that for an animated movie means we're going to see a sequel in just a few years, and today brings news that Big Hero 6 will indeed be getting a follow-up, it's probably not in the form fans are expecting. Disney has instead decided to continue the story as a TV show. This is a somewhat common route these days, with Monsters vs Aliens, Kung-Fu Panda, The...

| New Trailers: 'The Angry Birds Movie,' 'Ice Age: Collision Course' and 'Rio, I Love You' Posted: 02 Mar 2016 04:30 PM PST With a highly anticipated animated feature opening this weekend (Zootopia), we're getting some fresh trailers for other upcoming animated features: The Angry Birds Movie and Ice Age: Collision Course. Plus a movie co-directed by one of the producers of the latter. Watch them all below. The Angry Birds Movie We knew the success of Jurassic World would trigger more dinosaur movies, like this adaptation of the hit mobile game. Okay, so it's just a mention that birds should be angry because they're descended from dinosaurs, but still. This trailer sets up the conflict between the birds and the pigs. You love playing it, now get ready to see it in goofy cartoon form. The Angry Birds Movie, which stars the voices of Jason Sudeikis, Bill Hader...

| Vin Diesel Gets Miss America Pageant Contestant as 'xXx' Love Interest Posted: 02 Mar 2016 03:00 PM PST The issue of diversity has been a hot topic this week in movie news, inspiring vigorous discussions about the limited opportunities faced by women and people of color, among others. Not to make light of that very important issue, but Vin Diesel's xXx: The Return of Xander Cage appears to be setting a great example in its casting. The sequel has reached out around the world for talented people from a large variety of backgrounds. The cast is led by Vin Diesel, who has described himself as a person of color, and also includes Toni Collette, Donnie Yen, Deepika Padukone, Tony Jaa, Ruby Rose, Nina Dobrev, Kris Wu and Samuel L. Jackson. That's a refreshing and diverse cast of characters for what sounds like an action-oriented thriller, drawing on a pool of actors from...

| See How Chewbacca Actor Peter Mayhew Proved Han Really Did Shoot First Posted: 02 Mar 2016 02:15 PM PST It's one of the longest-running controversies in all of nerdom -- did Han Solo shoot first when confronted by Greedo in the cantina during the first Star Wars movie. If you're not much of a Star Wars fan, the line above may not make a lick of sense. But any casual Star Wars watcher knows exactly what we're talking about, and while the original version of Star Wars pretty clearly shows Han shooting Greedo before Greedo could even think about firing his own blaster, George Lucas' edits to the film years later have been divisive because they seem to show Greedo shooting first. Thus the debate raged on. But now Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew wants to settle it once and for all by posting actual pages from the original script on Twitter that seem to clearly...
