Fox Wants To Revive ‘The X-Files’ Talk of a thirdX-Filesmovie has cropped up often in the past few years, but now it seems like a new TV installment might be more likely than anything else. Fox execs have revealed that they are pursuing anX-Filesreturn — ideally withDavid DuchovnyandGillian Andersonreprising their roles as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. EWpasses word from Fox’s TCA panel that Fox execs Dana Walden and Gary Newman, who both worked at Fox TV through the first run of the show, have been talking withChris Carterabout reviving his signature paranormal/sci-fi procedural....

J.K. Simmons Talks ‘Justice League,’ Expects To Play Commissioner Gordon In More Movies Although I didn’t care forBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I’m approaching Zack Snyder’s upcomingJustice Leaguemovie with a clean slate. Mistakes were made for sure, but I know that Snyder is capable of making superhero movies that I can whole-heartedly embrace. I still likeMan of Steel, after all. Plus, getting negative about a film that literally just began filming serves absolutely no one....

Julia Roberts' Rom-Com Hiatus And The State Of The Genre When “Ticket To Paradise” finally opens in theaters this October, it will reunite Hollywood royalty. George Clooney and Julia Roberts will share the screen once more and in a romantic comedy, no less. As though that’s not applause-worthy in its own right, the upcoming film also marks Roberts' grand return to the romantic comedy, as the leading lady we all know her to be....

Kathleen Kennedy Describes The Han Solo Movie As A ‘‘Heist’’ And ‘‘Western’’ Movie The most exciting aspect ofRogue One: A Star Wars Storyis that it represents an opportunity for Lucasfilm and the various creative people in its employ to break the mold on what a Star Wars movie can be. Freed from the obligation of carrying on the core saga, these spin-off movies have the potential to hire interesting directors with unique takes on the material who want to color far outside of the lines....

Lawrence Kasdan Says ‘Star Wars Episode 8’ Will Be “Some Weird Thing” The great thing aboutLawrence Kasdanis that he’s critically bulletproof. No matter how many bad movies he makes (and he’s the main guy responsible forDreamcatcher), he’s still the man who wroteRaiders of the Lost Ark,Body Heat, andThe Big Chill. And he’s allowed to say whatever the hell he wants aboutStar Warsbecause he wroteThe Empire Strikes BackandReturn of the Jedi. Are you, lowlyStar Warsfan, really going to argue with the guy who actually put words in the mouths of Han, Luke, and Leia?...

Lucasfilm Reportedly Releasing “Slave Leia” From All Future ‘Star Wars’ Merchandise The original Star Wars trilogy goes out of its way to paintCarrie Fisher’s Princess Leia Organa as a force to be reckoned with. She’s a better shot than Luke Skywalker, an intelligent commander of Rebel forces, and more than capable of calling Han Solo on his B.S. When she is captured by the gruesome Jabba the Hutt and forced to wear a skimpy costume, she takes back her own freedom, strangling her captor and freeing herself....

M Night Shyamalan Has Ideas For ‘Wayward Pines Season 2’ I love how modern television is giving us season-long mini-series, which allow for a richer story than allowed in the time restraints of the big screen, but also create full story arcs that don’t suffer from the seasonal strain of normal television. One of the latest in this genre isWayward Pines, theM. Night Shyamalan-produced series based on theWayward Pinesnovels byBlake Crouch....

Mae Whitman Joins ‘The Perks Of Being A Wallflower’ It has takenStephen Chboskysome time to really get a film adaptation rolling of his bookThe Perks of Being a Wallflower. We first talked about it in May 2010, when he hadLogan LermanandEmma Watsonin talksto appear. InFebruaryof this year he still had those two set. Kind of a big thing, as the film is one of the very few post-Harry Potterprojects to which Emma Watson is committed....

Mila Kunis In Sam Raimi’s ‘Oz The Great And Powerful,’ James Franco Confirmed As The Wizard? Sam Raimi’s Oz revision / prequel,Oz the Great and Powerful, may have a new Wicked Witch of the West, in the form ofMila Kunis. While she was reportedly looking at a key role in Albert Hughes' live-actionAkira(more on that in an article to follow, since there’s a bunch ofAkirastuff to talk about) it is look as if she’ll now fly to Oz with Mr....

Mondo Debuts Teaser Poster For New ‘Heavy Metal’ Movie This new poster forHeavy Metal, designed by Swedish artistKillian Engand set for release at Comic Con, doesn’t seem to have much relation to the 1981 film of the same name. The poster is fantastic (and would pair well with Eng’s great poster forJodorowsky’s Dune) but doesn’t feature any elements of the animated anthology film. In fact, it looks a lot more like it could be a cover for an issue of the magazine from which the film drew stories, artists, and inspiration....

Mondo Does Two ‘Clash Of The Titans’ Posters, Reveals Mondo Con Though two recent remakes have tarnished the original’s reputation a tad, the 1981Clash of the Titansremains a cult classic. Featuring Ray Harryhausen’s final visual effects, the film follows a hero named Perseus on an epic quest pitting him against Gods and monsters. It’s total Eighties cheese, but that lends itself perfectly to artist interpretation. Which is whereMondocomes in, as the outfit has chosen the film for two posters to kick off its 2014 offerings....

Movie Trailer: ‘Blue Valentine,’ Which Gets NC-17 Rating 2010 was the first time I’d ever been to the Sundance Film Festival and the first movie I saw there wasBlue Valentine, a devastating parallel portrayal of both the blossoming and wilting of a modern relationship starringRyan GoslingandMichelle Williamsand directed byDerek Cianfrance. With those two stars, two powerful performances and a beautiful structure, I figured the film was destined to at least be seen by audiences for awards contention and that seemed to be its destiny whenThe Weinstein Companypurchased the film at the festival....

Navalny Review: A Riveting Portrait Of Vladimir Putin’s Worst Nightmare [Sundance 2022] If you’ve paid attention to global politics over the past few years, you already know the name Alexei Navalny. But “Navalny,” the new documentary from filmmaker Daniel Roher coming to HBO Max later this year, paints a portrait that takes you beyond the headlines and showcases an impassioned, courageous, and principled man brave enough to stand up to Russia’s authoritarian leader, Vladimir Putin — and who nearly died because of it....
