This trailer feels like it’s chalk full of spoilers if you ask me. I suspect that’s because they’re trying to generate interest in the film and are feeling like it’s not gaining a lot of traction. I’m certainly not all that impressed. It just feels a bit overwrought in my opinion.

The film is due to release to theaters on July 25.

Zack Snyder is hard at work right now on Warner Bros.’ hotly anticipated Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, a blockbuster which appears to be primed to include just about every DC Comics character under the sun. Now, we’re hearing from fansite Batman-on-Filmthat Commissioner James Gordon might be making an appearance as well.

Surely it’s not unreasonable to think that one of Batman’s closest allies will show up in Dawn of Justice. And that’s exactly what B-o-F has heard from one of its longtime sources.

I mean, why not, right? It’s all good. We’ll just throw a little bit of this and a…

At the 11th hour, Lana and Andy Wachowski‘s sci-fi epic Jupiter Ascending is being pushed back from July 18 to Feb. 6, 2015.

Yeah, we know that all good films are released in February… all good films… Sigh, this does not bode well.

On the other hand:

To boot, the February corridor is one of the quietest of the year, although Hollywood studios and exhibitors are trying to change that. Warners released Lego Movie in February, when it opened to a massive $69.1 million. It went on to gross $461.9 million worldwide.

This is true, but I definitely died a little on the inside on hearing this…

Maleficent is not receiving a lot of praise from critics, but Chad and TJ both think this is a little unfair. The film may not be destined for Oscar season or anything, but it was quite a good film and quite an enjoyable experience. Also of interest: set pics from ‘Star Wars VII’ OF THE MILLENNIUM FALCON. Guys, seriously! We’re living in a time when new ‘Star Wars’ is being made. And they’re building a Millennium Falcon Set. Also some casting news in the form of Lupita Nyong’o's and Gwendoline Christie. Secret Cinema is recreating Hill Valley from ‘Back to the Future’ in London and Chad is probably going to get to go. Lucky dog. And Warner Bros. has moved ‘Jupiter Ascending’ to February of 2015… you know, where all the good films are released… sigh.

That brings the total worldwide box office haul for X-Men: Days of Future Past to just over $500 million, setting a new record for the franchise in just nine days. To compare to the totals of previous series installments (The Wolverineis the only other 3D release in the series):

• $296,339,527 - X-Men (2000)
• $407,711,549 – X2: X-Men United (2003)
• $459,359,555 – X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
• $373,062,864 – X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
• $353,624,124 – X-Men: First Class (2011)
• $414,828,246 – The Wolverine (2013)

At this rate, Days of Future Past will finish with a $700 million+ total…

Brace yourselves Nerf Herders ... TMZ obtained a photo of what looks like the beginning stages of Han Solo’s famous spaceship the Millennium Falcon!!!

Sources close to the Rebel Alliance tell us the pics were taken inside an uber-secret location in the UK—where different set pieces, props and creatures are being constructed.

This is actually, really happening you guys!

Key scenes from Back to the Future will be recreated at a secret location in London this summer for epic screenings of the time travel movie.

Organisers of the next production in the Secret Cinema presents… brand will build the entire town of Hill Valley, California, where teenager Marty McFly, as originally played by Michael J Fox, embarked on his dramatic journey from 1985 back 30 years to when his parents were young.

A time machine modelled - like that in the film - on a DeLorean DMC-12 will be on hand to help transport audiences between the different time zones through secret alleys…

Those who were upset that the first big wave of Star Wars Episode VII casting did not include more women can breathe a bit easier. Lupita Nyong’o (Non-Stop, and winner of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for 12 Years a Slave) and Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones) have just been added to the cast. 

Both women have been tipped for roles in the film, and they are both excellent additions to the cast. Lupita Nyong’o proved her abilities as a powerhouse performer with gut-wrenching scenes in 12 Years a Slave, for which she took home an Oscar.

In other words, everybody chill, you guys,…

Once upon a dream, Disney brought us the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but according to their latest film, they may not have been entirely truthful in that story they told us, and now they’re here to set the record straight.

To be sure, the film has its detractors. Maleficent‘s box office success is only eclipsed by the exceedingly harsh reviews — though not nearly as harsh as Angelina Jolie’s cheek bones as the titular character.

The film proposes to us that things in the once upon a time may not be all that we have been led to believe. And so we are taken on a journey through the childhood of…
