Joseph Gordon-Levitt Denies ANT-MAN Rumors, Paul Rudd Now Uncontested

Despite many internet rumors that the contenders for the titular role in Edgar Wright’s Marvel picture Ant-Man were Paul Rudd and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, JGL has decried the news as “internet rumors” and although not directly denying the possibility, interviews at NY Comic-Con and for his recent movie Don Jon have him effectively denying his involvement...

Charlie Hunnam Leaves FIFTY SHADES OF GREY Movie, Shortlist Speculation Ensues

Charlie Hunnam, known by many as Jax Teller on FX’s Sons of Anarchy, has dropped out of film adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey. Hunnam, who was slated to play the titular BDSM-enthusiast and CEO Christian Grey, has dropped out officially because of his “immersive TV schedule which is not allowing him time to adequately...

New JACK RYAN Trailer Looks Pretty Generic

New JACK RYAN Trailer Looks Pretty Generic

Paramount seems to be on a bit of a marketing blitz for Jack Ryan, the CIA operative, spy thriller starring Chris Pine, as the second trailer just dumped online not even two weeks after the premiere of the first. Maybe the debut trailer wasn’t tracking well with audiences or was failing to amp up anticipation...

Talking with Kimberly Peirce of CARRIE

Talking with Kimberly Peirce of CARRIE

The name Kimberly Peirce is most closely identified with Boys Don’t Cry, her award-winning independent debut that saw an Oscar win for star Hillary Swank. Just as much as Boys Don’t Cry is a real life horror story, the Stephen King classic Carrie is grounded in issues of schoolyard bullying and overbearing parents. I sat...
