There’s not really a lot new going on here in this trailer, just a lot of re-shuffling of images we’ve already seen — and maybe a little bit more footage of what appears to be our big bad guy for this installment. But it’s certainly cut together in a way to make us even more suspcious about who’s going to bite the dust in this film. Could it be possible that they’re killing off a very expensive actor’s character. But then, are we really going to fall for that when we thought for sure they were going to do it in Thor: The Dark World with *[SPOILER] (see bottom for name) and that turned out not…

Everything is awesome for the team behind The Lego Movie (Cinema Score: A). The 3D animated extravaganza is estimated to have earned a spectacular $69.11 million this weekend — the biggest opening of the still young year, and the second largest February opening ever (the top spot belongs to 2004′s Passion of the Christ). The Phil Lord and Christopher Miller movie blew past studio and analyst predictions, which had the pic in the $40 to $55 million range. Playing in 3,775 theaters, most of which were in 3D, Lego scored an incredible $18,307 per location average, and, including overseas…

Sources touched on the fact that Hoffman still had one major scene left to film in Mockingjay, Part 2, and that certain filmmaking tricks would have to be employed to complete the movie. Today, yet another version of that story is circulating, with The NY Post becoming the first outlet to confirm that the filmmakers will “digitally recreate” Hoffman in this pivotal scene. As was reported earlier, none of this will affect the release date of either Mockingjay film. Part one is due in theaters on Nov. 21.

At the risk of sounding insensitive, of course Hoffman is going to have to be recreated…

Tom Hanks’ name was brought up internally at Warner Bros as a possibility for Lex Luthor in Batman vs Superman. They went instead with Jesse Eisenberg. What does this tell us about what’s going on behind the scenes?

Well, the Hollywood Reporter story about the casting of Eisenberg (sort of misleadingly titled “Why Warner Bros.’ Superman-Batman Movie Cast a Young Lex Luthor”) doesn’t say who brought up Hanks’ name internally - was it a bunch of studio suits or was it Snyder’s team? If it was Snyder’s team we see a casting process that reveals a movie finding its way; casting Tom Hanks makes…

“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” will “set critical events in motion” that will lead directly into next year’s “The Avengers: Age of Ultron,” The Walt Disney Company CEO and Chairman Robert Iger told investors and analysts Wednesday.

In addition, the Disney chief said that the parts of the “Captain America” sequel’s plot will be reflected in ABC’s “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”

It continues Disney’s transmedia strategy, an approach that weaves a narrative across multiple media platforms, spanning movies, television shows, comics and social media outlets.

And this is quite a good…

On Monday morning, we reported Philip Seymour Hoffman had shot enough of his The Hunger Games: Mockingjay role before his passing that the release dates for the two-parter have not shifted. But he still had seven days of filming left on Part 2 and, unsurprisingly, that’s leading to some complications.

According to insiders at the studio, the late Hoffman still had one major scene left to shoot when he died. The filmmakers are now scrambling to work around his absence, possibly by digitally inserting him into some scenes.

One major scene left to shoot is nothing to sneeze at. Depending on…

Aw yeah…

Actually, this is a slight disappointment because there are so many places they could have gone with this and they didn’t maximize the potential available. Still, anything that brings us a laugh at one of the more terrible films ever made — and easily the worst of the six Star Wars films — is a good thing in my book. And let’s face it, the film was riddled with plot holes, only a couple of which are pointed out in this video, the dialogued was as if it had been written by a six year old Anakin, and the characters were awful!

So enjoy this video because it’s mission to make people…

There’s not a trick answer to this. When Warner Bros. announced last week that Jesse Eisenberg had been hired to play Lex Luthor in the sequel to last year’s “Man Of Steel,” that is correct. He is playing Lex Luthor. But when they say that, it’s still not a definitive explanation of what you’re going to see when that film arrives in theaters on the now-scheduled date of May , 2016. Which Lex Luthor is he going to play? For comic book fans, there are many possible answers to that question, and for fans of the various live-action and animated interpretations, there are even more possibilities…

When “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” returns from its mini-hiatus on Feb. 4, expect for the series to go “full throttle” as it airs its final nine episodes of Season 1. According to showrunners Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon, the focus of the show gets a lot tighter for the back half of the series’ first season.

Zap2it recently visited the set of “Agents of SHIELD” and spoke to the two showrunners as well as a number of the cast members about what’s in store. Here’s some teases about what’s coming up for the end of Season 1 and beyond.

I don’t care what anyone says, I love this show. And…
