New ‘High-Rise’ Poster: Take A Leap Of Faith For One Of The Best (And Most Divisive) Films Of 2016 I ended up seeingHigh-Risetwice at last year’s Fantastic Fest film festival. The first time was becauseI will see every single movie thatBen Wheatleymakes. The second time was to ensure I wasn’t crazy for loving it as much as I did. It’s rare to see a movie divide people quite like howHigh-Risedivides its audience....

New ‘Paranormal Activity’ Already Finished, Will Reboot The Franchise If you thought theParanormal Activityfranchise ran its course then you weren’t alone. Even mega-producerJason Blumsaid it was tired and done and he built his empire on the back of the crazy profits of those uber-cheap and successful films. So, if you’re surprised that we have another one en route after hearing Blum describe the series as “tired” you’re not crazy. But apparently, it won’t be the same old same old this time....

New Images: ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ We still don’t have a full trailer for Marvel’sCaptain America: The First Avenger, which opens on July 22. But here are two new images that show off Cap in uniform. Both come viaEmpire, and while the cover of the new issue is a good shot ofChris Evans, I’m a lot more partial to the smaller shot that shows off the character in full mask and helmet....

Initial reports said severalspin-offs were indefinitely on hold, but further details indicated Lucasfilmwas merely changing their approachand expectations for what those movies needed to be....

Quentin Tarantino Only Has Two Movies Left Quentin Tarantinohas the kind of career just about any filmmaker would envy. He’s worked with huge names like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ennio Morricone, revived John Travolta’s career, and transformed Christoph Waltz and Michael Fassbender into international stars. His films are hits with budding cinephiles, picky critics, and general audiences alike. They’re constantly quoted in casual conversations, pored over for thinkpieces, and memorialized on dorm room posters....

Rumor: Cecily Strong Up For Major Role In New ‘Ghostbusters’ WhilePaul Feig’s newGhostbusterswill have four funny actors fighting ghosts in New York City, that’s where the similarities to the original film end. Of course, we know this time all the leadswill be played by women(Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon) and that their roles aren’t going to line up with the roles in the original film. We have an idea ofwhat those roles areand now we have an idea of a fifth, key role in the film....

Russ Fischer’s Most Anticipated Movies Of 2015 It’s that time of the year again, not only for best-of lists, but for the lists that look forward to what’s coming next. 2014 has been an incredible year for film; the list of 50 films we compiled not long ago is just a sample of what we’ve seen in this calendar year. 2015 certainly has quite a few big films on offer — betweenAvengers,Star Warsand the new Bond film,Spectre, the blockbuster is well-represented....

See Robert Zemeckis' ‘The Walk’ Early Only In IMAX Sony is releasingRobert Zemeckis’The Walkearly on September 20th 2015 in select IMAX theaters, a couple weeks before the film’s scheduled October 9th 2015 release date. I’ve seen the trailer for this film in IMAX 3D and this definitely seems like one of those rare films that has been envisioned for not only 3D but also IMAX. So releasing the film in IMAX a couple weeks early makes sense....
