Despite having passed away back in 1955, actor James Dean remains a popular cultural icon. Which explains why he’s just been cast in a new movie about the Vietnam War that will premiere 65 years after his death. Say what? Dean’s likeness will appear in the film Finding Jack not through the use of archival footage, but...
Remember Pennyworth, the new Batman-inspired series that reimagines Bruce Wayne’s butler Alfred Pennyworth as a James Bond-like head of security for Thomas Wayne in the 1960s? Well, the series ended up being a hit, and Epix has just announced that Pennyworth will be returning for a second season of political intrigue and aristocratic action. “Pennyworth has...
The first trailer for the upcoming Jumanji sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level, really played up the comedic aspects of the film. With new body swaps this time around, including Danny DeVito in The Rock’s body and Danny Glover in Kevin Hart’s, it seemed like the new Jumanji would be considerably goofier than its adventure-heavy predecessor....
It’s one of those old Hollywood legends that just happens to be true. Harrison Ford, now inseparable from his iconic role as Indiana Jones, was not the first choice of Steven Spielberg and Geroge Lucas to play the fedora-wearing archaeologist. They actually wanted Tom Selleck for the role, but the plan fell apart when the...
Charles Bronson was one of, if not the most, hardcore action stars ever. His gruff demeanor, no-nonsense delivery, and ruthless attitude inspired a whole generation of butt-kicking actors. Sadly, Bronson passed away in 2003, but a Hungarian actor is attempting to continue the late actor’s legacy. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that he happens to...
Who says you need dragons and magic to make a Medieval story exciting? The latest trailer for The King has just been released, and the historical epic looks plenty thrilling even without a single White Walker. The film, from Animal Kingdom director David Michôd, is based on William Shakespeare’s Henriad but with a greater level...
Joe Pesci is one of the greatest actors of his generation, but it’s been years since the 76-year-old appeared in a film. That’s about to change with the new Martin Scorsese mafia movie The Irishman, which teams Pesci with fellow mob movie legends Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. And as it turns out, goading...
James Bond has been a movie franchise for nearly 60 years, but the superspy doesn’t deserve all the credit. A number of supporting players have been alongside 007 nearly every step of the way, characters like M, Q, and perhaps the most loyal of all, Miss Moneypenny. But Bond may have to get used to...
We’ve seen Aaron Eckhart play somewhat of a rogue cop before, in The Dark Knight, where he was D.A. Harvey Dent before becoming the villain Two-Face. Now the actor is back as a rules-breaking lawman in the thriller Line of Duty — but this time he gets to avoid any facial disfiguration. In Line of...
The Rock is headed back to the jungle. No, not for the Jumanji sequel (though, yes, he’s doing that, too), but for the new Disney theme park ride adaptation Jungle Cruise, which has just released its first trailer. Based on the classic Disneyland ride of the same name, Jungle Cruise is hoping to be the...
