The ‘Logan’ IMAX Poster Goes Old School A few years ago, directorJames Mangoldshared ten movies that inspiredThe Wolverine, his first outing in theX-Menuniverse. If nothing else, that list showcased Mangold as a man with great taste in classic and contemporary cinema. Few things make me happy quite like a filmmaker actively thinking aboutBlack NarcissusandThe French Connectionwhile working on a major superhero movie. So it’s appropriate that the new IMAX poster forLogan, Mangold’s secondWolverinemovie andHugh Jackman’s swan song as the character, looks like it was torn from a movie theater wall circa 1973....

This Week In Trailers: Goodbye To Language, Head First: The Marty Livewire Story, The Broken Legacy, Here Comes The Night, The Green Prince Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect.

Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant Added To Toronto Fest Lineup We’ve been wondering when the hell we’d actually get to seeBad Lieutenant, the non-remake of Abel Ferrara’s film directed byWerner Herzogand starringNicolas Cage(click here to see theBad Lieutenanttrailer). Now the Toronto International Film Festival hasannouncedthat the film will screen as part of the ‘Special Presentations’ slate. No huge surprise, as Herzog is frequently represented at TIFF (he was last there withEncounters at the End of the Worldin ‘07) but sinceBad Lieutenanthas seemed to languish without distributor interest this is a good sign....

And while we’ll have to keep on waiting to learn more about his next feature movie, Anderson has gone and made a Christmas-themed short film starringAdrien Brodythat you’re able to watch right now....

‘Amazing Stories’ Trailer: Steven Spielberg’s Anthology Series Is Revived For AppleTV+ Amazing Stories Trailer This show clearly has tons of potential, but considering the pedigree of the people involved, I feel like this trailer should have had me pumping my fist and eager to press play on the first episode. Instead, I find myself sort of shrugging my shoulders and hoping for the best. Fingers crossed that it’s just a mediocre trailer and not fully representative of what we’ll see when the series premieres....

‘American Son’ Trailer: Kerry Washington Is Desperate To Find Her Missing Child Netflix has debuted the trailer forAmerican Son, the feature film adaptation of the acclaimed Broadway play of the same name. And the film, which starsKerry Washingtonreprising her forceful role in the play, looks just as gripping on the screen as it did on the stage. Watch theAmerican Sontrailer below.

‘Aquaman’ Crosses $1 Billion Worldwide But Loses Fourth Weekend To ‘The Upside’ Aquamanhas only been in theaters around the world for over a month, but the blockbuster comic book movie has already crossed the $1 billion mark. It’s the first DC Extended Universe movie to reach that box office milestone, and it’s only the 37th film in history to cross that threshold.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ Almost Gave Black Widow An Added Layer Of Tragedy After The Snap Avengers: Endgameis full of tragedy, not simply because of the heart-wrenching ending, but because of the five years of doom and gloom Earth’s mightiest heroes must endure after failing the universe. However, one character whose arc was already tragic enough in the sequel was almost a little more upsetting in a number of ways, especially for fans who were unhappy with how Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) was handled in this culmination of The Infinity Saga....
