Everything we’ve seen up to this point from The Fifth Estate shows a cool and confident hero of a man in Julian Assange. In this clip though, he looks a little more worried. And it appears with good reason. It seems the CIA and the KGB are closing in on Assange. David Thewlis (Remus Lupin from the Harry Potter films) is here to let Assange know of the danger.

Check it out:

And in this clip, Cumberbatch/Assange doesn’t seem too happy with the idea of selling out:

This film has the potential to be really good and so I’m going to hope for the best.

This summer at the San Diego Comic-Con Scarlett, Johansson (a.k.a. Black Widow, a.k.a. the sexiest Avenger) said that she and Captain America (Chris Evans) will form “something of an intimate friendship” in next year’s sequel Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

After revealing spy photos showed the two characters lip locking on set, we went back and reviewed 2012’s The Avengers to find any hints of this burgeoning relationship between two war vets. Turns out the characters do shoot a couple of admiring glances at each other, Black Widow during his first tour of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s Helicarrier…

If you hated the news of Ben Affleck being cast in Zack Snyder‘s sequel to Man of Steel, you’ll probably blow a gasket for real with this item. Justin Bieber added a new photo to his Instagram feed tonight, in which he shows off his own copy of the Batman vs. Superman script — or a fairly well-made fake that looks like it bears his name. Making things weirder, his only caption was “#robin ??”

If Justin Bieber is in this film in any way, I believe I will have to boycott. UGH. Please let this not be true! 

Lionsgate today confirmed an earlier rumor that four-time Academy Award® nominee Julianne Moore (Boogie Nights, The Hours, The End of the Affair, Far From Heaven) has joined the cast of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 as President Alma Coin, the leader of the rebellion against the Capitol.

I’ve mentioned before that she was at least in the running to play the role of President Coin. While I’m not a huge fan or anything and think that occasionally she’s not such a great actress, I actually can’t think of anyone better for this particular role.…

Yesterday Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara told the suits at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications and Entertainment Conference that Batman will be “tired and weary and seasoned and been doing it for awhile.”

It’s only a nugget of information, but it essentially confirms once more that WB, Snyder and writer David Goyer are taking elements of “The Dark Knight Returns” graphic novel and transposing it on to this modern story. In “The Dark Knight Returns,” which takes place in a future alternate universe (i.e. it’s not what will happen to Batman eventually) Batman comes out…

Fans have spent so much time focusing on what’s going to happen with J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars Episode VII, we’ve all but ignored the 2016 Star Wars film. Not Episode VIII mind you — that’ll likely be in 2017. In 2016, we’ll get a Star Wars spinoff movie, written and produced by either Lawrence Kasdan or Simon Kinberg. Each writer is working on a film that’ll focus on a specific Star Wars character; we’ve known these spin-off movies are meant to be released between episodes of the new trilogy. Possible characters rumored for these films are Yoda, Han Solo or Boba Fett.

If that’s true though,…

Jay Rasulo said keeping costs lower will help with risk management

Walt Disney will be more judicious when it comes to greenlighting the next big-budget film that doesn’t feature a member of the Marvel Comics or Star Wars universe.

Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo said the studio had learned a valuable lesson from the failure of “The Lone Ranger.” The Johnny Depp Western cost a reported $215 million to produce and tens of millions more to market, but only netted $243 million worldwide.

“There needs to be a cap on tentpole, non-franchise movies,” Rasulo said at the Bank of America…

Liam Neeson has an impressive resume. Think about it. He trained Batman and Obi-Wan and Darth Vadar. He is both Aslan and Zeus (which makes him a god in at least two mythologies). And he single-handedly annihilated an entire human trafficking ring during a short vacation in Paris.

Having duly weighed this in our minds, we have to ask: Who or what is going to mess with a guy like that?

Wolves. And God.

Of Plane Wrecks & Mythical Beasts

In The Grey, Neeson plays the character of John Ottway, an oil-rig worker who survives – together with several other roughnecks - a brutal plane crash in…

Insidious: adjective, proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects.

That just about sums up this film if you ask me. You see, I can’t help but form opinions about films even if I haven’t seen them (I’m sure you’ve noticed). I have no intention of seeing Insidious Chapter 2. It looks dreadful. That may be partly because I’m not exactly into horror films. But there have been a few here and there that I have liked. The Sixth Sense for instance is considered a horror film. But these days I think Horror films have morphed into something else. And generally, there’s a…
