She walks in on patent red leather shoes. You can tell by her gait who this is. But it’s when she starts to dance to Chappell Roan’s “Feminomenon” and promises you really know. Perhaps you bow your head a little bit. On the screen, the text reads, “This b*th is back.” This first glimpse at M3gan 2.0 arrived during the Grammy’s, appearing shortly after Roan took the stage to perform “Pink Pony Club.”

Wicked will be led by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, as Elphaba and Glinda respectively, in Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of the Broadway juggernaut.

The First Trailer for Cats Reveals Wildly Ambitious VFX Musical
While Tom Hooper’s Cats is based on the legendary, long-running Broadway musical, you will not be watching stars made up to look like cats. Hooper has instead deployed the latest performance-capture technology to turn his star-studded cast into cats.

A Christmas Gift: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in Sisters
“Would you mind not drinking tonight, so I can let my freak flag fly?” Amy Poehler’s character asks her sister, Kate (Tina Fey), the more freewheeling of the two. This mostly sums up the movie, in which Poehler and Fey’s characters say farewell to the childhood home their parents have put on the market without their knowledge, and throw the rager they never got to as teens. From grocery store run-ins with old frenemies to unlikely romantic pursuits (and all the ways those can go wrong),
Watch This Fantastic Live-Action Metroid Short Film
One of the great reveals in video game history was that Samus Aran, the exoskeleton-covered warrior star of Nintendo's Metroid, was a woman. This fact was made clear in the end credits to gamers who finished the journey quick enough, when they finally got a chance to see Aran without her armor. And it turns out that Aran, the alien-slaying, armor-clad badass was inspired by one of film's greatest female warriors—Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) from Ridley Scott's Alien. Like Ripley in Alien,
Here’s How They Created the Ingenious Structure of Steve Jobs
One of the difficulties of making a film about historical figures or events can be deciding how to remain faithful to the subject but still tell a good story. Real life doesn’t always follow a neat narrative arc. In fact it almost never does. Danny Boyle’s latest film Steve Jobs is an interesting example of a way to approach that predicament.
One way the film avoids the dangers of becoming a plodding account of history is that it’s only loosely based on real events: “We’re deeply indebted to Walter Isaacson’s [biography of Jobs] and the depth of his research,
30th Anniversary Promo for Back to the Future Includes Jaws 19 Trailer
The 30th anniversary of Back to the Future has brought with it some hilarious promotions for things that don’t actually exist, but did in the future the film predicted. One of those things is an insane amount of Jaws movies.
One of the things that Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) encounters in the town square of Hill Valley in 2015, is a 3D advertisement for Jaws 19.
New Steve Jobs Trailer Focuses on Icon’s Family Issues
“The two most significant events in the 20th century, the allies win the war, and this,” says Steve Jobs (Michael Fassbender) in the the latest Steve Jobs trailer, the ‘this’ no doubt referring to the release of one of his beloved products. This opening line becomes an emblem for the focus of the latest trailer, which is about Jobs’ relentless pursuit of perfection in his business life while his personal life,
Meet the Crew That Worked on Both Jurassic Park & Jurassic World
Universal's new Jurassic World is being heralded as a proper folllow-up to Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic Jurassic Park, the film that raised the bar for what CGI could accomplish and blew the minds of kids and adults alike. When director Colin Trevorrow took the helm of Jurassic World, the first film in the franchise in 14-years, both he and executive producer Steven Spielberg wanted to recapture the magic of that first film.
The Beautiful Art That Shapes & Sells Our Favorite Films & Shows
Sketches, illustrations, storyboards, concept art, posters, digital painting and even 'for your consideration' Emmy ads for print publications like Variety are just a few of the ways in which artists help filmmakers and television creators tell, and sell, their movies and shows. The artwork can be extremely visible to the public, as AMC's Mad Men has done so brilliantly with their poster design for each new season, or simply a tool for filmmakers to use to help them craft a specific scene or sequence.
