Whether audiences walked away satisfied and hungry to see where Venom goes next remains to be seen, but there is at least one hint of what might be included in future Venom movies thanks to an alternate opening to the film revealed by director Ruben Fleischer....

‘Captain Marvel’ Box Office Tracking: Marvel’s Latest Could Be Heading For $100 Million Opening Weekend By Ben Pearson/Feb. 14, 2019 2:00 pm EST The first wave of Captain Marvel box office tracking numbers have arrived, and if these predictions are accurate, the Brie Larson-led superhero film could end up making around $100 million domestically in its opening weekend.

The first trailer is online, and you can see this unconventional superhero team in action below. Doom Patrol Trailer The Doom Patrol first appeared in live-action in the fourth episode of DC Universe’s Titans series, and because producer Greg Berlanti isn’t busy enough (I’m kidding, he’s one of the busiest producers on Earth), he decided to spin these characters off into their own show....

By Chris Evangelista/April 11, 2019 4:00 pm EST Denis Villeneuve is sparing no expense when it comes to creating a fully-realized world for his big, star-studded Dune movie. In order to create the many otherworldly dialects in the Frank Herbert adaptation, David J. Peterson, who built the Dothraki and Valyrian languages on Game of Thrones, has been hired to create the Dune languages as well. I hope you’re ready to hear a bunch of far-out languages in Dune, because that’s what you’re going to get....

‘Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse’ Heading Back To Theaters, Including IMAX, This Weekend By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 27, 2019 10:00 am EST Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse won the Oscar for Best Animated Film last weekend. But even though the movie raked in $185 million at the domestic box office before leaving theaters, it wasn’t quite as big a hit as other comic book movies. Now that the movie has more credibility among those who pay attention to the Oscar winners, Sony Pictures is giving audiences another chance to see it the way it was meant to be seen: on the big screen....

By Ben Pearson/Nov. 20, 2018 2:00 pm EST We’ve known about a possible musical based on the HBO vampire series True Blood for four years, but details about the project have been hard to come by. Now Alan Ball, the creator of the TV show, has revealed the premise of the new adaptation. Keep reading to learn the latest True Blood musical details. In 2014, True Blood was heading into its seventh and final season premiere when series composer Nathan Barr explained that he had pitched Ball and HBO on adapting the sweaty, sexy vampire show into a full-fledged musical, and that it would revolve around telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin portrayed that character in the show)....

‘View-Master’ Movie Back In Development, Will Probably Win Best Picture Someday By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 27, 2019 5:30 pm EST I blame The LEGO Movie for this. When that project was first announced, everyone scoffed. “A movie about LEGOs? Laughable!” we all said, and then sipped champagne in our tuxedoes. But then the movie came out, and it was pretty good! And then Hollywood got the bright idea to make even more movies based on toys....

And while the animated nominees are more accessible thanks to the power of the internet, it’s often difficult to watch any of the other shorts. But the Academy is making a valiant effort to bring these shorts to more audiences....

Boy George Biopic On The Way From ‘Anvil: The Story Of Anvil’ Director By Ethan Anderton/June 2, 2019 11:00 am EST After Bohemian Rhapsody became such a huge hit for Universal Pictures at the box office, studios have been far more interested in rock star biopics. This past weekend Elton John’s fantastical life story Rocketman debuted in second place at the box office this past weekend. That appears to have made studios even more eager to cash in on the fanbases of music’s biggest stars from the 1970s and 1980s, but the next rock star to get their own biopic is a surprising one....

China Won’t Release ‘Air Strike’ Theatrically After Fan Bingbing Scandal By Ben Pearson/Oct. 18, 2018 3:30 pm EST Normally, we probably wouldn’t have paid much attention to Air Strike, a small World War II thriller starring Bruce Willis. But the film was supposed to receive a theatrical release in China next week, and that has now been scrapped in the wake of the recent Fan Bingbing scandal, which we haven’t really covered yet on the site....
