Posted: 11 Apr 2016 09:00 PM PDT

Here are a few things we can share with you today:   Tessa Thompson Joins the MCU Tessa Thompson, who broke out just two years ago in Dear White People then followed it with last year's phenomenal Rocky reboot-sequel Creed, has joined the cast of Thor: Ragnarok.

New 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2' Trailer Keeps Bringing the Fun

Posted: 11 Apr 2016 07:30 PM PDT

These days it seems there are two camps when it comes to new movies based on childhood obsessions. There are those who want things to have grown up with them and be dark and serious. Then there are those who want things to be kept fun and all-ages wherever possible. And we're not talking about just camps of fandom, either. Studios tend to pick a personality and stick to it. And then there's Paramount and their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which seems to have jumped from the serious camp to the all-ages one. The first movie introduced us to turtles that were broody, bad guys that were militarized, and an overall world design that was much more straight faced than you'd expect for a movie about mutant turtles that also happen to be ninjas and teenagers. Teenage...

First 'Kong: Skull Island' Video Invites You Into Its Mysterious Jungle

Posted: 11 Apr 2016 06:00 PM PDT

Kong: Skull Island is still about a year away from release, so it's understandable that we haven't seen a billion trailers for it yet. But we will greedily admit we wish we had more to see, more to pick apart frame by frame. This is a new King Kong movie, after all. He has long, long been a huge part of our cinematic imagination and we can't wait to see what an exciting new filmmaker like Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer) does with the icon. As much as we'd love a trailer for the movie at this stage, we'll gladly take this behind-the-scenes footage that MTV premiered this weekend. It introduces us to the movie's cast - Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell - which is cool, but more importantly it gives us a fleeting glimpse of...

Update: 'Fast & Furious 8' Casts Scott Eastwood Alongside Charlize Theron

Posted: 11 Apr 2016 04:30 PM PDT

Update 4/11/16: The Fast 8 cast keeps growing. Last week a pair of bad guys were added in the form of Charlize Theron and Kristofer Hivju and this week the F. Gary Gray-directed movie signed up the new heir to the grizzled, chizzled jawline, Scott Eastwood (son of Clint, in case the above image didn't make that obvious). He'll be playing the protege to Kurt Russel's secret government agent we first met in Furious 7.   Previously 4/7/16:  The Fast and the Furious series has rarely stumbled when it comes to casting. That may not seem that impressive considering most actors big and small would love to be in one of the most successful franchises of all time (even Helen Mirren wants in), but it's a lot harder when you're...

Watch New 'Suicide Squad' and 'Fantastic Beasts' Trailers

Posted: 11 Apr 2016 11:30 AM PDT

Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart hosted the 25th annual MTV movie awards show last night and among the many highlights, two new trailers for highly-anticipated movies debuted. We've heard a lot about Suicide Squad, most recently that new footage was being shot with the goal of adding more comic lightness to the movie (though director David Ayer says it's to add more action). The new trailer is packed with footage we haven't seen before, including a bunch of lighter moments involving multiple characters. It's safe to say that our Suicide Squad anticipation is now through the roof. The action is set to Lesley Gore's immortal "You Don't Own Me" (1963) and The Sweet's "The Ballroom Blitz" (1973), both pop tunes that serve well as...
