Awesome Art We've Found Around The Net: Brave, Pacific Rim, Ready Player One

Shane Black urges fans to keep quiet as The Predator draws near

Image
Here's a friendly piece of advice: If you're ever lost in the woods, and hear something akin to a mountain lion's purring through a vocoder, it's best to slather yourself with cold mud and hide. It's an old trick I picked up from my buddy, Dutch, who knows a thing or two about taking out vicious warrior aliens from another planet. It's saved my bacon...

Report: 'New Mutants' Undergoing Reshoots To Amp Up the Horror

Image
" The New Mutants ," the all-teen X-Men spinoff, was supposedly finished, screened and given a big thumbs-up from test audiences. But after " It " became such a massive hit, Fox executives decided to ditch the "John Hughes meets Stephen King" vibe and make the film straight-up horror. At least according to an "insider report" over at The Tracking Board . Director Josh Boone originally announced , "We are making a full-fledged horror movie set within the X-Men universe.... We're trying to do something very, very different." But then the studio reportedly demanded a PG-13 rating and less blood and gore. After releasing a trailer that emphasized the scarier aspects of the film, Fox then reportedly decided to go "full horror" after all. That means extensive reshoots and a new release date: August 2019. In other "New Mutants" rumors, Jon Hamm will no longer appear as Mr. Sinister in a post-credits tag. Instead, ...

'Ren & Stimpy' Creator Accused of Statutory Rape, Child Porn

Image
Cringing to hear that John Kricfalusi , creator of Nickelodeon's cult favorite " The Ren & Stimpy Show ," is the latest to be outed as an alleged sexual predator. A lengthy Buzzfeed exposé details accusations of how he reportedly groomed female animation fans and preyed on girls as young as 13. His own lawyer admits that the now-62-year-old "had a 16-year-old girlfriend... for a brief time, 25 years ago." Kricfalusi's attorney also claims the animator was dealing with alcoholism and mental illness at the time of the alleged abuse, thanks to having been fired from his own show. Two of the women share their alarming stories with Buzzfeed, backed up by coworkers who were shocked by Kricfalusi's behavior. Tony Mora, who as an art director at Warner Bros. at the time, told BuzzFeed that Kricfalusi was known for harassing female artists. "It's always been there," said Mora, who shares that no one at Spumco, Kricfalusi's company, batt...

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter 'Bill & Ted' Reunion Photos Give Us Life

Image
We didn't realize how much we needed these most excellent photos of Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter as older (but still totally rad) Bill & Ted. The two actors, who played the lovable stoner time travelers in " Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure " and the 1991 sequel , reunited for an awesome photo shoot for EW 's Reunion Issue. (Love those Napoleon and Joan of Arc T-shirts.) They also talked about the long-in-the-works third film, "Bill & Ted Face the Music," which, is thisclose to finally finding a financier after 11 years of development hell. The film would find now 50-something Bill and Ted married with kids (no, not to each other!) and revisiting their past. At the end of the first film, Rufus ( George Carlin ) told them they would write music that would turn the world into a utopia. And that never happened. "You're told you're gonna save the world," original "Bill & Ted" writer Chris Matheson tells EW...

Arnold Schwarzenegger Is Recovering After Open Heart Surgery: 'I'm Back'

Image
He'll be back — from open heart surgery. Arnold Schwarzenegger is in stable condition recovering from a surprise open heart surgery that followed complications from a planned heart valve replacement. The "Terminator" star and former California governor is in good spirits and his first words upon waking from surgery were "I'm back," according to his rep Daniel Ketchell. In a statement, Ketchell said, "Yesterday, Governor Schwarzenegger underwent a planned procedure at Cedars-Sinai to replace a pulmonic valve that was originally replaced due to a congenital heart defect in 1997."

In completely unsurprising news, ABC is renewing the recently revived "Roseanne" for another season, its 11th. The blue collar comedy debuted to whopping ratings earlier this week.

In an exclusive statement to Entertainment Weekly, Steven Spielberg has confirmed that Colin Trevorrow will return to the " Jurassic World " franchise and helm the third installment, which is currently scheduled to stomp into theaters on June 11, 2021.

The CW Moves 'The Originals' Season 5 Premiere & Pushes 'Life Sentence' to Fridays

Change of plans, Klaroline fans . "The Originals" Season 5 premiere will now arrive two days earlier. Instead of Friday, April 20, the final season of "The Originals" will begin Wednesday, April 18 at 9 p.m., right after the special musical episode of "Riverdale." That's bad news for Lucy Hale 's low-rated "Life Sentence," which has been sentenced to Fridays. The CW released its midseason schedule on March 30. Here's the press release with the new updates: The final season of THE ORIGINALS will now make its debut on a new night, Wednesday, April 18 (9:00-10:00pm ET/PT), following the "CARRIE The Musical" episode of RIVERDALE .

Fans of Marvel's Merc with a Mouth were left feeling disappointed earlier this week, upon hearing the news that Marvel and FX passed on Donald Glover's planned Deadpool animated series.

Watch 'Handsome, Muscular' Thor Meet the Guardians in Full 'Avengers: Infinity War' Clip

Image
But watch fast in case it gets pulled. Marvel aired this hilarious "Avengers: Infinity War" scene last week during the Kids Choice Awards. The footage was previously shown at the D23 Expo in summer 2017, but Marvel never shared the clip online. Low-quality versions of the clip traveled the web, but ComicBook.com just posted a decent video for fans to watch before the movie opens on April 27. The clip shows how Thor (Chris Hemsworth) ends up meeting Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and the Guardians of the Galaxy. As usual, Drax (Dave Bautista) steals the whole thing. Peter Quill/Star-Lord : "How is this dude still alive?" Drax : "He is not a dude. You're a dude. This? This is a man. A handsome, muscular man." Well, at least Drax doesn't think Thor is "hideous," unlike someone we know... Check out the clip (if it's still up): Ah, jealous Star-Lord. This scene probably plays out just after Star-Lord tells Teen Groot to get off hi...

Movie Endings Explained - The Prestige (video)

Movie endings, they're usually pretty straight forward right? Everything pays off, the main characters learn something, and our heroes ride off into the sunset. Sometimes though, we don't get the typical ending from a movie, we get something much more nuanced, complex and open ended.

John Krasinski & Emily Blunt's Horror 'A Quiet Place' Has 100 Percent Fresh Rating

Image
Shhhhhhh. Don't make any sudden moves to disturb the critics or they might break this streak. We're always rooting for John Krasinski and Emily Blunt -- who happen to be married, but we love them separately too. So we were already rooting for the horror thriller "A Quiet Place" to succeed. Krasinski directed the movie, and he and Blunt play husband-and-wife on screen as well -- parents to two children, played by Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe (shown above). They also have two kids in real life. Thankfully, everything else is fiction. So far, critics definitely approve of their movie. One week out, "A Quiet Place" has a 100 percent fresh rating from 33 critics on Rotten Tomatoes , with an average rating of 8.3/10. That's not bad at all. The Metascore at this point is 79, based on 14 critics. It's definitely possible that the scores will go down, but the critical praise so far is effusive enough to suggest director Krasinski has a winner on h...

In zombie movies of the past, you don’t have all that long after being bitten before you start to turn rotten and crave human flesh. In the new movie CARGO starring Martin Freeman, you have a crisp 48 hours, which gives you enough time to get your affairs in order before you start devouring human livers.

'Suits' Finale Wedding Photos Show Meghan Markle as Bride

Image
Meghan Markle is going to have so much practice as a bride before her big day with Prince Harry. She was already married once before, and she'll be getting married again on TV in late April during the "Suits" Season 7 finale. Both Meghan Markle (Rachel) and Patrick J. Adams (Mike) are leaving after this season, and their wedding will play out over the two-hour season finale. Series creator Aaron Korsh teased the pair's happy ending to Entertainment Weekly : "I was pretty happy with that because I know we do a lot of bittersweet things on the show, and it just felt good to give them a really good send-off." EW shared photos from the big wedding, which airs April 25 on the USA Network. Of course, they only showed part of Rachel's wedding look -- we don't even get to see her face -- so you have to watch the episode for the full reveal: The "Suits" Season 7 finale airs over two hours on Wednesday, April 25 at 9 p.m. "Suits...

Deadpool Takes Over 'Avengers: Infinity War' Trailer in Glorious Mashup

Image
Has Ryan Reynolds seen this? It's perfectly balanced ... just like Deadpool's testicles. What the world needs now is a team-up between spring 2018's major superhero films: "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Deadpool 2." YouTuber Mightyraccoon! stepped into the void with the video "Infinity War trailer but everybody is DEADPOOL" -- which is exactly how it sounds. They basically took the second "Infinity War" trailer and added Deadpool (voiced by David Near), then replaced everyone else with Deadpool. When Deadpool complains that Thanos (played by Josh Brolin, who also plays Cable in "Deadpool 2" -- synergy!) looks like a "purple Homer Simpson," he decides he'll be Thanos from now on. "When I'm done, half of the superheroes will cease to exist. Well, except for Wolverine. I love Hugh Jackman." Who doesn't? Watch the trailer below. Warning: Very NSFW! Love it.

'Jersey Shore Family Vacation' Trailer Shows 'Not Much Has Changed'

Image
It's Jerzday again, so MTV has a new "Jersey Shore Family Vacation" preview for us. The network released its latest trailer on Thursday, and the video is full of gang's latest shenanigans. It has been almost six years since the original reality show last aired, but as the saying goes, old habits die hard. As Vinny Guadagnino puts it, "Not much has changed." The trailer shows the "Jersey Shore" cast -- except for Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola -- reunited in Miami, where they get wild in their house, around town, in clubs, in pools, and, well, pretty much everywhere. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley are parents now, but that doesn't stop them from binge-drinking and bickering. Meanwhile, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro has a very pregnant girlfriend , but he seems to be blurring the lines with other women. And those are only a couple of the storylines.

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Blooper Reel Shows Carrie Fisher Repeatedly Slapping Oscar Isaac

Image
We always appreciate a good blooper reel, and "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" has one. The silly outtake video was unveiled Wednesday, in coordination with the release of the film on Blu-ray and DVD. It features funny moments involving numerous "Episode VIII" stars, but a scene featuring the late Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa is the most prominent among them. For the first 35 seconds of the blooper reel, we see her soundly slapping Poe Dameron ( Oscar Isaac ) just before demoting him. Poor Isaac is shown being hit in the face at least 40 times in that short span, all while Fisher maintains an absolutely straight face. Although the slap outtakes fill the bulk of the blooper reel, there are other ones worth watching as well. The stars of the film make some of the strangest and most entertaining faces, and John Boyega shows how seamlessly he slips between accents. Watch the gag reel below. from Moviefone News RSS Feed - Moviefone.com https://ift.tt/2pUZgPU

John Cena Is Interested in Role in Fast & Furious Film or Dwayne Johnson's Spinoff

Image
Former Wrestlemania rivals John Cena and Dwayne Johnson haven't starred in a film together yet, but it sounds like Cena has already thought of the perfect vehicle. The actor recently chatted with EW and said that he'd be interested in joining Johnson in a Fast and Furious movie or the planned spinoff, "Hobbs and Shaw." He explained that he thinks he and The Rock have solid chemistry "in the live performance setting," so his fellow WWE vet is one of the few actors on his co-star "wish list." "That stuff is beyond my control, but I would absolutely love that opportunity," Cena said of joining Johnson in the popular franchise. "That, for me, would be a dream." The two action stars have engaged in trash talk over the years, and they took it pretty far. At one point, for instance, Johnson claimed he had slept with Cena's mom. Oddly, The Rock managed to do it "in such a way that he made it cool," Cena told James Co...

The "Scandal" cast has already filmed the series finale , and the goodbye process is well underway. ABC kept the emotional experience going on Wednesday when it released a retrospective. The video looks back at the drama's seven seasons and, of course, heightens all the sentiments fans are already coping with as we approach the end of the series. "There's not a single feeling I haven't had about the show ending," Kerry Washington , who plays Olivia, says in the video. "I think I'm sort of in denial about the final day on set," Tony Goldwyn (Fitz) adds, presumably in an interview filmed before production wrapped. What's really special in the retrospective is how it highlights the cast's bond and their gratitude for their fans. It's clear that they credit their Gladiators for keeping the show going for so long. If you've stuck with "Scandal" over the years, you definitely have their thanks. And don't think...

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are just going with it to Netflix. The stars, who last worked together in 2011's "Just Go With It," are reuniting for "Murder Mystery," a comedy that will stream on Netflix. Sandler renewed his four-picture deal with the streaming service last year. The movie centers on a New York City cop who takes his wife on a long-promised European vacation. On the flight, they snag an invite to an intimate family gathering on the yacht of elderly billionaire Malcolm Quince. Then, Quince is murdered and the couple becomes the prime suspects. The project marks Sandler's sixth under the terms of his deals with Netflix.

John Mulaney to Host 'Saturday Night Live' For First Time

Image
Calling Stefon's lawyer! John Mulaney is set to host "Saturday Night Live" for the first time on April 14 with musical guest Jack White. Mulaney was a writer on "SNL" from 2008 to 2014 and famously co-created the character Stefon with Bill Hader. And Mulaney recently made a cameo on the show when Hader hosted and played Stefon's lawyer, Shy. Mulaney left "SNL" to star in his own eponymous sitcom on Fox, which received poor reviews and was canceled swiftly. Since then, Mulaney has starred in a well-received standup special on Netflix, "The Comeback Kid," for which was nominated for an Emmy for writing. He starred in the hit Broadway show "Oh, Hello." And he's done well in his recent nationwide tour, "Kid Gorgeous," which included seven shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York. One of those was filmed and will stream May 1 on Netflix. from Moviefone News RSS Feed - Moviefone.com http://bit.ly/2IdX6Cd

Cameron Diaz Says She's 'Actually Retired' During 'Sweetest Thing' Reunion

Image
Has Cameron Diaz retired from acting? According to the actress herself, yes. Diaz reunited with "The Sweetest Thing" co-stars Christina Applegate and Selma Blair for an interview with Entertainment Weekly. When asked if they had gotten together since the 2002 movie, the three actresses admitted they had not and suggested they should do so. "Maybe I should, you know, I mean, I'm down. I'm literally doing nothing," Diaz said. Applegate replied, "I'm literally doing nothing, too! I'm semi-retired, I haven't worked for years." Then Diaz said, "I'm semi-retired, too, and I am actually retired, so I would love to see you ladies." Now, Applegate is fudging with her semi-retirement, since she's appeared in "Bad Moms," "A Bad Moms Christmas," "Crash Pad," and "Youth in Oregon" in the last two years. But Diaz hasn't done a movie since 2014's "Annie." Diaz's...

Ben Affleck Claps Back at Article Making Fun of Tattoo, 'Pooching' Gut

Image
Haters gonna hate; Ben Affleck's shaking it off. The actor has been the butt of jokes recently after photos revealed a large, colorful back tattoo was real and not for a movie. Even the New Yorker took shots at him in an article titled "The Great Sadness of Ben Affleck," which described the actor as looking "despondent," called his tattoo "garish," and pointed out his "pooching" gut. Affleck's response? A big shrug. @NewYorker I'm doing just fine.
