TIFF 2019: Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit Makes the Heart Leap

There’s a reason Taika Waititi has become, to film lovers at least, a household name. For longtime followers, his genius hasbeen evident for years. From What We Do in the Shadows (2014) to Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016), Waititi’s unique blend of comedy, compassion, and fearlessness has been apparent in spades. Once he deployed his one-of-a-kind sensibility for the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Thor: Ragnarok (2017),

Ad Astra‘s Second Trailer Reveals Brad Pitt’s Epic Sci-Fi Drama

Writer/director James Gray is a man who makes very good films, and he takes his time on each one. Two Lovers (2008), The Immigrant (2013) and The Lost City of Z (2016) couldn’t have been more different from one another, yet each bore the mark of Gray’s meticulous craft. With Ad Astra, which he co-wrote with Ethan Gross, Gray has turned his attention to the great beyond,

How Avengers 4 Could Resurrect Characters Without the Time Stone

Defeating Thanos will be the biggest goal of Avengers 4, but is there still hope to somehow revive all the heroes and civilians he demolished? VFX supervisor Dan DeLeeuw previously said that the Power Stone was the one that turned half the population to dust at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. So which stone will be powerful enough to undo that damage? The prevailing theory rests in the Time Stone.

The Definitive Guide to the Guardians‘ Rap Sheets

Some people wear their heart on their sleeve, but the Guardians of the Galaxy wear their crimes on their pants. Reddit users recently picked up on an Easter egg that was so brilliant and harbored so much detail that director James Gunn joined in to comment. He even took time away from finishing a draft of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to further explain the cool costume detail.

Sad Porg, Gross Milk—This is Star Wars: The Last Jedi Post You’re Looking For

From the world of Star Wars creatures come two highlights from Disney featuring the most adorable—and most repulsive—moments in The Last Jedi.

First up, if it’s cute and it’s in The Last Jedi, it must be porgs (although those crystal foxes were pretty darn precious, too). For months we fawned over the adorable screaming porg who becomes Chewbacca’s sidekick. His alarm at Chewie’s wild driving was enough to make you want to snatch him right off the screen and cuddle him to death.

The Real Effects Used to Simulate the Raging Sea in The Finest Hours

The Finest Hours tells the incredible true story of a daring rescue mission conducted by a handful of men from the Chatham, Massachusetts, Coast Guard when a huge storm struck New England on February 8, 1952. The storm ripped two 500-foot oil tankers in half, leaving their crews stranded at sea. Despite hurricane-force winds and 60-foot waves Bernie Webber (played by Chris Pine) successfully skippers a 36-foot wooden lifeboat, with a destroyed compass,

The First Captain America: Civil War Trailer is a Superhero Brawl

The first trailer for Captain America: Civil War debuted during Jimmy Kimmel last night (in the midst of his Star Wars week, giving Disney a nice one-two marketing punch) and it begins exactly where the teaser during Ant-Man's credit sequence left us, with Cap (Chris Evans) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) interrogating the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). Only it quickly escalates into a colossal clash between superheroes in what looks to continue Captain America's hold as the most emotional of Marvel's many running franchises. 

Check out Pixar’s New Finding Dory Trailer & Poster

When Finding Nemo came out in 2003, it just about became nearly everyone’s new favorite animated film of all time. Nemo won the 2003 Academy Award® for best animated feature, and was nominated for three additional Oscars—original screenplay, original score, and sound editing. People loved the film, loved little Nemo, and most of all, it turned out, loooved a little forgetful blue tang fish named Dory,

Incredible New Footage in Star Wars: The Force Awakens Japanese Trailer

The very first shot in the Japanese version of the Stars Wars: Force Awakens trailer is one we've never seen, and it's a breathtaking measure of scale. There's Rey, standing in the desert of Jakku looking into one of the engines of a downed Starship, and she is a tiny, tiny thing. This version of the trailer offers more shots of BB-8 and a doozy of a new shot at the 37-second mark—a squadron of  TIE fighters fly towards us set against a huge setting sun,

Here’s the First Trailer for Alice Through the Looking Glass

The first trailer for Alice Through the Looking Glass is here, and it sets the stage nicely for what Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is up against—Time itself. That's Time with a capitol 'T,' played by Sacha Baron Cohen, who is central to the sequel's storyline and is part human, part clock. Time happens to be the Mad Hatter's father (the Hatter played by Johnny Depp, of course), and Alice will need to reason with him,

New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Character Posters Revealed

Well, you had to know that the final Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer wasn't going to be the very last thing released before the December 18 premiere, right? These five new character posters, three of which were shared on Instagram by the film's stars, all share a common theme—the right eye of the character is covered (or in the case of Carrie Fisher's Leia, simply obscured). What's that about? Just aesthetic cohesion and nothing more?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Director J.J. Abrams Finally Answers a Bunch of Questions

Okay sort of. Abrams was part of Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit in which big, bold names in business, entertainment, technology and politics gathered at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco to chat about, well, nearly everything.

Watch Inside Out Characters React to Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer

It's cross promotion at it's most obvious, and, frankly, finest—Disney-owned Pixar's Inside Out characters react to Disney's Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. Now that Inside Out is out on Digital HD, with it's DVD and Blu-ray coming next Tuesday, November 3, it makes sense they'd remind viewers about this highly original film by linking it to Star Wars: The Force Awakens,

Check Out These New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Images

We were waiting for Disney and Lucasfilm to drop some hi-resolution images on us from the latest, and last, Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, and they've obliged. These new images allow for much clearer scrutiny for you obsessive Star heads (apologies), although they likely won't sate your appetite completely. Considering the film doesn't premiere until December 18, one has to assume these images won't be the last taste of The Force Awakens
