Superman Rumor Roundup: Anne Hathaway, Matthew Goode, CGI Superman, And West Africa? By Germain Lussier/Nov. 24, 2010 8:39 am EST Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s probably just another rumor about Zack Snyder’s Superman. Bits of most-likely-false information about the Snyder directed, Christopher Nolan produced and David Goyer penned Man of Steel reboot have been jumping tall buildings in a single bound over the last few days and now there are so many, it’s time to do a roundup....

Two New ‘Red State’ Posters: Caleb And The Sons By Germain Lussier/Dec. 20, 2010 7:00 am EST Writer/director Kevin Smith continues to use our insatiable appetite for film news to its full best potential. Just this week, he auctioned the exclusive debuts of two more posters for his upcoming film Red State with all proceeds going to The Kenny Gordon Foundation.

Watch Oscar Isaac Perform “Dink’s Song” From The Coens’ ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ By Angie Han/Sept. 17, 2012 11:07 am EST Inside Llewyn Davis gets a spot on our most-anticipated list simply because it’s a new Coen Brothers project, but so far it’s been tough to get a good sense of what the film will actually be like.

Watch Part Of ‘The Muppets’ Opening Song And Dance Sequence By Russ Fischer/Nov. 8, 2011 2:30 pm EST Below you’ll find a minute of the opening of Disney’s The Muppets, whcih hits screens on November 23. The scene is a fun little song and dance number that introduces new Muppet Walter and his human friend Gary, played by the film’s co-writer Jason Segel. This is a pretty effortlessly charming little piece of film that helps sell The Muppets as a film that still has at least one foot firmly planted in the classic musical storytelling style that always made the show a small wonder....

‘Black Dynamite’ Animated Trailer: “What More Can I Say? The Man Is Black!” By Russ Fischer/June 22, 2012 10:30 am EST Watch out for the giant censor bar! The trailer is here for the Adult Swim animated series based on Black Dynamite, and it captures all the blaxpoitation excess of the 2009 film. It looks like the show characters in The Boondocks might watch, which is appropriate given that Carl Jones of The Boondocks is the exec producer....

Cinema was created to be seen in a theater with a group of people. It’s an experience. An event. And with modern technology, that cultural legacy is slowly slipping away. Not at repertory theaters, though....

After announcing at Cannes 2008 that he would finally make Inglourious Basterds by the end of the year, he actually delivered....
