Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve has offered a defense of the film’s ultra-secretive marketing campaign. Though the long-awaited sequel to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic is a critical darling that earned widespread praise for everything from its production values to acting, it struggled at the box office in its opening weekend. Performing well below expectations, 2049 debuted with just $32.7 million, causing some to wonder what went wrong. The hope is Blade Runner has strong legs over the course of the month, but odds are it won’t be the massive hit it needed to be to warrant the whopping $185 million production budget....

Blake Lively’s The Rhythm Section has moved back exactly nine months, from a February 22 to November 22 release date. The film is based on the novel by Mark Burnell (who also wrote the script) and is designed to serve as the beginning of a potential franchise for its star. However, it’s been obvious for a while now that the movie would end up being delayed, given the absence of a trailer or marketing of any kind....

Sebastian Stan revels Bucky would go back in time to “fix all of the things he’s done wrong” if he was able to use the Infinity Gauntlet. One of the unfortunate heroes who was snuffed out of existence following Thanos’ deadly snap in Avengers: Infinity War, Bucky, at this moment, is currently a pile of dust. But that doesn’t mean that he’ll stay that way for long. Avengers 4 is expected to rewrite history through time-travel and in the process resurrect most, if not all, of the killed of Avengers’ due to the Mad Titan’s galactic genocide....

Steve Rogers has long held the mantle of Captain America, technically serving as the hero from the 1940s until now. However, during that time, for all sorts of different reasons, many other people have stepped into the role as well. For a time, Rogers even retired as Captain America, putting away the mask and shield to take on a new identity as Nomad. Considering that he appeared to retire on screen at the end of Captain America: Civil War, it appears as though Avengers: Infinity War will take things in a very similar direction....

As HBO’s Game of Thrones prepares for its final season and those impending spin-off shows, actor Charles Dance has revealed that he would love to return to the world of Westeros for another dance with dragons.

Spotify’s ambitions from expanding from primarily a music platform to leveraging podcast and audiobooks are well known. Music royalties are expensive, so it makes sense for Spotify to focus on getting listeners to spend more time listening to content that isn’t as costly to the company. As Spotify seeks to become a destination for all audio content, I spent time using it as my primary podcast player to see how it stacks up compared to apps like Overcast, Pocket Casts, Castro, and Player FM....

It Has a Great Dual Performance From J.K. Simmons Dual roles are a tricky thing. In even the most talented hands, it’s difficult to turn them into something more than a visual gimmick. There’ve been some notable ones on TV recently, like Ewan McGregror’s Golden Globe-winning performance in Fargo and James Franco’s sleazy twofer in HBO’s The Deuce. But both actors were playing siblings; two people with distinctly different personalities who just happened to look exactly like one another....

Pixar has announced that Dan Scanlon will be returning to the director’s chair for one of their new untitled films. The Disney-owned animation studio has been hard at work on Brian Fee’s Cars 3, which released last month and has been considered by audiences and critics alike to be an improvement over its predecessor. Now, the studio is focusing on their next project, Coco, an original tale directed by Lee Unkrich and co-directed by Adrian Molina inspired by Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)....

Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima appears to be teasing a 2019 release for his long-awaited game. Death Stranding is a game born from the ashes of Silent Hills, a cancelled sequel to the iconic horror series. A teaser for that game – dubbed P.T. - found players stuck in a terrifying loop and is considered one of the finest horror games of the last decade. Sadly, the game’s development was caught up in the messy breakup between Kojima and publisher Konami....

Disney’s in-development streaming service is not created to end Netflix, the company’s Chief Strategy Officer Kevin Mayer says.

Some key characters were introduced in Captain America: Civil War - most notably the title character himself - while others are about to make their big-screen debut.

Many of the key characters are part of Wakanda’s royal family, while others are important tribal leaders....

Superman Returns star Brandon Routh says director Bryan Singer was difficult to work with. Routh played the Man of Steel in Singer’s film, which was released in 2006. Superman Returns served as the sixth and final installment of the original Superman film series, paying homage to installments from decades earlier. The story of Singer’s feature focused on the title character returning to Earth after a five-year absence. Superman finds himself having to deal with the fact that Lois Lane has moved on, in addition to Lex Luthor’s nefarious plots....

Andy Serkis has become legendary in the world of motion capture acting, from his portrayal of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings films to the title character in the 2005 remake of King Kong. There’s another character, however, that has garnered the actor a lot of praise over the past five years: Caesar, the chimpanzee from the modern Planet of the Apes series. What makes the character – as well as Serkis’ performance – so noteworthy is how the ape develops between films....

HBO’s Chernobyl miniseries is by far one of the best shows the network has produced in years. After Game of Thrones ended, quite a few people were looking to cancel their HBO subscriptions, but in doing so, they lost out on the opportunity to be captivated by the haunting and unforgettable series that is Chernobyl. Created by Craig Mazin, HBO’s Chernobyl series takes place before, during, and after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, and it’s shockingly accurate to detail....

Director Christopher McQuarrie is open to helming Man of Steel 2 (or Green Lantern) for the DCEU, if the story for both hits just the right beats. The Mission: Impossible - Fallout director and writer has been at the top of many fans’ wish list for a DCEU movie. This isn’t just because the filmmaker has a pedigree for solid and lucrative action movies. McQuarrie has also established a working relationship with Henry Cavill, who plays Superman, in Fallout and he has expressed a desire to work with the actor again....

Christopher Nolan says that each movie in The Dark Knight Trilogy belongs to a different genre. While Nolan’s breakthrough in the movie business came in 2000 with his mind-bending crime thriller Memento, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker truly established himself as a force to be reckoned with the release his Batman movies. It all started in 2005 with Batman Begins, starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne opposite Liam Neeson as Ra’s al Guhl....

The latest merchandise for X-Men: Dark Phoenix confirms the new costumes the team will wear, which pull inspiration from one of the most critically acclaimed eras in the comics. Fox and the minds behind the X-Men series have taken plenty of liberties with the source material over the years, including the suits the various mutants wear. Over time, there have been nods to classic outfits, with Magneto especially skewing close to the page....

David Fincher says his involvement with forthcoming sequel World War Z 2 is entirely dependent on the quality of the script. The original World War Z weathered a famously troubled production, where star Brad Pitt allegedly clashed with director Marc Forster and filming delays led to costly budget overruns. The film even reshot its entire third act, resulting in an expensive battle sequence in Russia being completely removed. Despite World War Z’s well-publicized troubles, the film still ended up being a hit, and talk of a sequel soon popped up....

Focused on the day-to-day challenges of teenage life, the Degrassi franchise depicted the careers of adolescents in Toronto. The long-running series made its debut in 1979 with The Kids of Degrassi Street. After concluding in 1986, the next show, Degrassi Junior High retained some of the main cast but changed their characters completely.
