'13 Reasons Why' Season 2 Teaser Reveals Premiere Date (And It's Soon!)

Image
The tapes were just the beginning on "13 Reasons Why." Netflix released the first teaser for the second season of its hit (and somewhat controversial) teen drama, which is set to return Friday, May 18. Season 2 continues to follow the aftermath of the suicide of Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), as friend Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) and various connections struggle with what they heard on the tapes she left behind. Meanwhile, Hannah's parents battle against the school district, which they believe is complicit in her death. The teaser reveals that the new technology this season are Polaroid pictures. A series of ominous Polaroids lead Clay and his classmates to sickening secret and a conspiracy to cover it up. Many threads were left unresolved at the end of Season 1, including whether Alex (Miles Heizer) survived his own suicide attempt and if Tyler (Devin Druid) is a potential school shooter. There are also some new faces at Liberty High, including new "It Girl...

John Cena to replace Dwayne Johnson as star of The Janson Directive

Image
Dwayne Johnson is one of the busiest dudes in show-business, but it was only the matter of time before something had to give. Johnson had been slated to star in THE JANSON DIRECTIVE, based upon the Robert Ludlum novel, but due to his increasingly busy schedule, Johnson and the studio decided that the only way the project could move forward would be if he stepped aside. Johnson already had a replacement in mind... Read More... from JoBlo's Movie Emporium News https://ift.tt/2vXkfrr

'Fear the Walking Dead' Actor Reveals Why He Asked to Be Killed Off

Image
Death is a fact of life for the stars of "Fear the Walking Dead." But in one actor's case, it was a death that was welcomed. [Spoilers ahead for Sunday night's episode!!] "FTWD" Fans were shocked when Frank Dillane's Nick was shot in the chest by a young girl working as a mole for the Vultures. Dillane was an original cast member who was with the show from day one. Immediately, fans blamed new showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg. But they explained to The Hollywood Reporter that Dillane himself asked to be written out of the show before they even came on board. "One of the first things we were tasked with when we came on to run season four was to find a story that would give Nick a fitting sendoff," Chambliss said, who added, "It was very important to us and to Frank to find a death for him that was emotional and one that would ripple forward throughout the storytelling." Dillane told Entertainment Weekly that he fel...

'Solo' Featurette Details Han's Rite of Passage

Image
How did Han Solo become, well, Han f---ing Solo? Fans will finally get the ne'er-do-well's back story in "Solo: A Star Wars Story." Lucasfilm released a featurette, "Becoming Solo," that has the standard cast soundbites, with director Ron Howard teasing the rite of passage and tests that the young Han ( Alden Ehrenreich ) undergoes on his journey through that galaxy far, far away. More interesting are the new bits of footage that weren't in the previous trailers or TV spots. There are more flashes of Han's interactions with Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover), his piloting abilities, and that reckless, devil-may-care attitude that Harrison Ford carried off so easily in the original trilogy and "The Force Awakens." "Solo" also stars Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Joonas Suotamo, and Paul Bettany, and opens in theaters May 25. from Moviefone News RSS Feed - Moviefone.com https...

'Ant-Man and the Wasp' Trailer Tease Asks Where They Were During 'Infinity War'

Image
Marvel knows its fans probably have a million questions after the emotional rollercoaster that was " Avengers: Infinity War ," and it's going to answer a big one this week: Why weren't Ant-Man ( Paul Rudd ) and the Wasp ( Evangeline Lilly ) in the movie? Of course, that's probably not the most pressing concern for MCU diehards right now, but it's still an important query, since we already know that those heroes will be making some key contributions to next year's "Avengers 4." And according to a new trailer tease for upcoming "Ant-Man" sequel " Ant-Man and the Wasp ," it looks like we're going to see exactly what the titular pair were up to while everyone else in the MCU was off fighting Thanos in Wakanda. Where were Ant-Man and the Wasp during Marvel Studios' @Avengers : #InfinityWar ?

Marvel Chief Kevin Feige Thanks Fans for Helping 'Infinity War' Break Records

Image
Marvel fans are nothing if not a loyal bunch, something they proved this past weekend when " Avengers: Infinity War " broke all kinds of box office records . Now, the film studio is thanking those fans for their unwavering support. In a heartfelt letter shared on social media, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige reflected on the 10th anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and praised the entire Marvel team, the cast and crew of all the MCU films, and the comic book creators who shepherded their iconic characters. But Feige saved his biggest shout-out for the fans. Thank You pic.twitter.com/IP3tLSwQmS — Kevin Feige (@Kevfeige) April 30, 2018 "Thank you for embracing these characters and stories since we kicked off the MCU ten years ago," the exec's letter said. "This past weekend was beyond our wildest dreams. ... [T]hank you for being the best fans in the universe and making Avengers: Infinity War the biggest opening weekend of all time." ...

Claire Foy Reportedly Received $275,000 Back Pay After 'The Crown' Wage Gap Scandal

Image
Splashy Netflix series " The Crown " was tarnished earlier this year after it was revealed that its star, Claire Foy , received a lower salary than her co-star, Matt Smith , despite playing the queen of freaking England. Now, a new report suggests that the team behind the show has finally made the situation right. According to the Daily Mail , Foy has received £200,000 -- approximately $275,000 -- in back pay for her role as Queen Elizabeth II on the first two seasons of "The Crown." It's unclear exactly who ponied up the cash, since the Daily Mail's report simply says it came from "the show's producers." The likely benefactor is production company Left Bank Productions (which previously took responsibility for the wage gap), though based on how much money the streaming service initially threw at the series, it seems like Netflix could definitely afford to shell out some additional cash. Whoever reportedly wrote the check, it was a smart de...

Marvel Is Already Planning MCU Films Through 2025

Image
The MCU has once again proven it has a choke hold on the box office, with " Avengers: Infinity War " breaking a ridiculous number of records and raking in a boatload of cash on its opening weekend. But the folks at Marvel are already looking ahead at what's next, and movie fans may want to keep their schedules clear for the next few years. In an interview with The Associated Press ahead of "Infinity War"'s big debut, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige revealed that the company has no plans to slow down once this chapter of the "Avengers" saga wraps. In fact, Feige said that the studio just convened to discuss movies that aren't slated to hit theaters for another seven years -- and fans will definitely be surprised by the future MCU's direction. "We're always thinking ahead," the exec explained to The AP. "Just when people think they can pin us down, we go somewhere else and that's going to happen again after 'I...

What's the 'Arrested Development' Easter Egg in 'Avengers: Infinity War'?

Image
When we interviewed the immensely talented filmmaking team of Joe and Anthony Russo , just a few days before their monolithic superhero mash-up " Avengers: Infinity War " debuted (to rapturous reviews and astronomical box office), we asked if they could give us something that would only make sense after we saw the movie. This is what they said: Joe : How about "blue man?" Anthony : That's a good one. Now, having seen the film twice already (what? We have a rich social life full of interpersonal interactions!), we can safely assume what they were referring to. Spoilers follow, so turn back until you haven't seen the movie yet. Still there? Okay, cool. There's a moment when the Guardians of the Galaxy (specifically Chris Pratt 's Star Lord, Zoe Saldana 's Gamora, Dave Bautista 's Drax and Pom Klementieff' s Mantis –- Rocket and Groot have already joined up with Thor at this point) land on Knowhere, the giant, floating head of a sp...

Ex. We talk Alita: Battle Angel with Robert Rodriguez & Jon Landau

Fox brought out a few key first looks at CinemaCon this year and chief among them was ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, where they showed off two scenes in 3D, as well as new trailer. Based on the anime series and originally written by James Cameron, the script was handed over to director Robert Rodriguez to "edit" and then make the film himself. AVATAR producer Jon Landau has been the project since the early days as well and has helped both Cameron and Rodriguez bring this fan-favorite anime to...

Tessa Thompson Jokes About Valkyrie's Role in 'Avengers: Infinity War'

Image
SPOILERS ahead from "Avengers: Infinity War." Fans were left with a lot of questions after " Avengers: Infinity War ," including "Where was Valkyrie?" (Or, if you're Drax, " Why was Valkyrie?") It wasn't the biggest question after the whole movie turned to dust, but since the first big scene was set after " Thor: Ragnarok ," and we saw Thor, Banner, and Loki, it was reasonable to wonder what happened to Tessa Thompson 's Valkyrie. Shouldn't she have been there -- shown alive or dead? Answers may come later, but for now we just have jokes from Tessa Thompson. She has this whole Tessa As Goats running joke , and she tied it into her "Infinity War" absence: me in Infinity Wars. pic.twitter.com/g7fAjUcm95 — Tessa Thompson (@TessaThompson_x) April 30, 2018 WAR. lol — Tessa Thompson (@TessaThompson_x) April 30, 2018 For those of you that missed my nuanced performance. https://t.co/b3Q376Gga0 — Tessa Th...

Infinity War box office bigger than expected with $258 million weekend

Going into the weekend we all knew AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR would be big, but many doubted it could top the massive weekend of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS ($247 million).

Netflix to Focus More on Sci-Fi & Fantasy Originals After Popularity Spike

Image
Sci-fi just overtook comedy as Netflix subscribers' favorite genre. You know what's even better? When they can combine both in one series. Netflix likes to know what makes you chill, and Business Insider just reported some findings from the streamer's first quarter of 2018. The most popular genre in Q1 was "sci-fi and fantasy," which is a change from this time last year when "comedy" was named the top choice. Now comedy is in second, followed by "action and adventure." So Netflix is responding to meet this demand by making 29 percent of upcoming original content fit into the sci-fi/fantasy genre. It's not that surprising when you consider the popularity of Netflix series like " Stranger Things ," " Lost in Space ," " Altered Carbon ," " The OA ," etc., and movies like " Bright ." (Critics didn't love it, but fans ate it up .) Of course, more content doesn't necessarily mean bet...

Ryan Reynolds Congratulates 'Avengers: Infinity War' Via Tony Stark Rejection Letter

Ryan Reynolds ' " Deadpool 2 " opens in just a few weeks, and it will still have to fight " Avengers: Infinity War " for box office dominance. That might be tougher than beating Thanos himself. "Avengers 3" just had the biggest opening of all time , and it's not going to slow down soon. Reynolds showed he's a good sport about these things -- and still Deadpool at all times -- by sharing a congratulatory note to the "Avengers" team. He cleverly lauded their success at his own expense, showing off a rejection letter from Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.): From a guy who never knows when to quit, I'm glad you guys never did.

'Annabelle 3' Is Coming, and It Took That 'Conjuring' Release Date

Image
A third " Annabelle " movie is officially happening, and it will be directed by Gary Dauberman, who wrote the previous "Annabelle" scripts. This will mark his directorial debut, and he'll once again write the screenplay. The Hollywood Reporter shared the news, adding no further plot details beyond the obvious connection to the creepy demon doll. New Line has put "Annabelle 3" (full title to be revealed later) on the fast track, with a release of July 3, 2019 . If that date looks familiar -- beyond looking like it wants a Will Smith movie to open on that same day -- it's because Warner Bros. just announced they'd be releasing another movie in the "Conjuring" universe on that date . "Annabelle" is a "Conjuring" spinoff, so this looks like the movie in question. That means we still don't know when " The Conjuring 3 " or "The Crooked Man" will be released.

14 Things You Never Knew About 'Iron Man' On its 10th Anniversary

Image
It's hard to believe it's been ten years since " Iron Man " first hit theaters. That blockbuster birthed an entire cinematic universe and paved the way for countless other Marvel characters to make their way to the big screen. To celebrate that anniversary (and the impending debut of "Avengers: Infinity War"), here are 14 interesting facts you might not know about "Iron Man." 1. "Iron Man" was trapped in development hell for nearly two decades before finally seeing the light of day. The film rights passed from Universal to Fox to New Line before ultimately reverting back to Marvel. 2. Quentin Tarantino was approached to direct "Iron Man" in 1999. Other potential directors included Joss Whedon and Nick Cassavetes . 3. An early draft of the screenplay positioned Tony's own father Howard as the main villain, with Howard becoming War Machine in the film's climax. 4. Another early script featured a connection to Sam...

Box Office: 'Avengers: Infinity War' Rockets to the Biggest Opening of All Time

Image
Nothing is impossible in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including, it turns out, securing the biggest opening weekend in the history of motion pictures. Whoa. When early tracking was released on Friday, it looked like " Avengers: Infinity War ," the third canonical film in the "Avengers" series and the triumphant apex of ten years of interconnected superhero stories in the MCU, would be huge. But how huge emailed to be seen, with most pegging its opening haul to come in slightly below that of " Star Wars: The Force Awakens ," which secured $248 million back in 2015. But, as the weekend reached its conclusion, the superhero-stuffed saga, which features virtually every character from the previous ten years of movies fighting a villainous space baddie named Thanos ( Josh Brolin ), ended up clearing $250 million domestically. With its overseas haul of $380 million, its combined $630 million made it the top worldwide debut of all time too. And it hasn't ev...

'Grey's Anatomy' Season 14 Casts Alex Karev's Mom (Again)

The most recent episode of " Grey's Anatomy " revealed a shocking detail about Dr. Alex Karev ( Justin Chambers ): He went over a year without checking his own bank account. Who does that?! Must be nice. When he did check his account, to see how much money he could contribute to his wedding to Jo Wilson ( Camilla Luddington ), he discovered he had A LOT more money than he thought. It took him all that time to realize his mother had not been using the money he gave her. Cue the upcoming May 3 episode, "Fight for Your Mind," directed by Jackson Avery himself, Jesse Williams .

'The Predator' Reveals Plot Synopsis as First Trailer Is Mostly Praised

Shane Black 's " The Predator " movie could go either way. Most of the reactions to the first teaser, shared during CinemaCon, were positive. But at least one critic was "underwhelmed."

"The Predator," opening in theaters this September, is the fourth film in the franchise, and it's set between " Predator 2 " and " Predators ." The cast looks strong: Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Edward James Olmos, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Thomas Jane, Yvonne Strahovski, and young Jacob Tremblay.

'Star Trek: Discovery' Season 2 Teaser Provides a Peek at the Enterprise and Crew

Image
What's old is new again in a new behind-the-scenes teaser for "Star Trek: Discovery" Season 2. The first season of the CBS All-Access show ended on a major cliffhanger: Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin-Green ) and the Discovery crew running into the not-yet-legendary ship Enterprise and her captain, Christopher Pike. Pike (who will be played by Ansom Mount), of course, is the predecessor of James T. Kirk, who led the ship on the original "Star Trek" series. "Discovery" is doing its own take on the beloved Enterprise, and the video gives a glimpse at the construction of the bridge. There are also tantalizing images of the original gold, blue, and red uniforms, as well as what appears to be costume materials for new aliens. But one thing missing from the video is any hint that Spock may be part of Season 2. If canon timing holds, he should be on board. And since Burnham's adopted father is Spock's father, Sarek, a meeting between the sort-o...

'Kin' Trailer Sends Two Brothers on the Run in Sci-Fi Adventure

Image
Brothers always watch each other's backs, as shown in the first trailer for "Kin." The sci-fi adventure film focuses on a recently released ex-con ( Jack Reynor ) and his adopted teen brother ( Myles Truitt ). The latter discovers a mysterious alien weapon capable of causing massive damage and uses it to help his brother out of a jam with a shady criminal ( James Franco ). This forces them to go on the run from the criminal's gang, from law enforcement, and from the original owners of that weapon. "Kin" feels like a bit of a throwback, which perhaps shouldn't be a surprise since it was produced by "Stranger Things" producer Shawn Levy. And like the Netflix supernatural drama, "Kin" comes from director siblings Jonathan and Josh Baker. The movie also stars Dennis Quaid as the brothers' dad, Zoe Kravitz as a friend along for the ride, and Carrie Coon. It opens in theaters August 31. from Moviefone News RSS Feed - Moviefone.co...

"Winter's Bone" made Jennifer Lawrence a star and a first-time Oscar nominee. Now, writer/director Debra Granik finally has made another movie, "Leave No Trace," which also features a tenacious teen girl.

And in recent years, they've often reunited to support each other's work. But they've also talked about reuniting on the big screen. Now, a third movie is closer than ever to actually happening, as Bledel (currently starring on Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale") told Jimmy Fallon on Thursday's "The Tonight Show."
