The "Ant-Man" movie is three years away and already has a director. Marvel recently confirmed that Edgar Wright would helm the franchise's first installment.
"Iron Man 3" has been a solid box office success and resulting questions about "Iron Man 4" are starting to surface.
"Pacific Rim" has not even hit theaters yet and a sequel is already in the works.
As is often the case, a sequel creates a great sense of excitement and anxiety in the same measure. Fans anticipate seeing their favorite heroes embark on a new journey, but are also wondering if the tremendous artistic success of the original will reappear in the sequel. In many ways "Into Darkness" not only lives up to these expectations but exceeds them on many fronts.
The running time for "Man of Steel" has been confirmed.
As is usually the case with all of their major blockbuster films, Warner Bros. is giving fans and readers an opportunity to win a number of prizes in anticipation of the release of "The Hangover Part III."
Henry Cavil revealed that Superman's weakness in the anticipated film "Man of Steel" is his own confusion and sense of isolation.
Ray Harryhausen, creator of many iconic scenes in cinema, has passed away today at age 92.
"The Great Gatsby's" opulent style will surely deter a number of viewers in the early stages, but those patient enough to sit through its bombastic opening act will find a nuanced portrayal of one of America's great novels.
"The Great Gatsby" is one of the most anticipated films of the summer and features an all-star cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carrie Mulligan, Isla Fisher, and Joel Edgerton.
"The Avengers 2" is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated upcoming films. Director Joss Whedon has been actively dropping hints over the last few weeks and he did not miss out on an opportunity to continue the trend during an interview with Desde Hollywood.
"Iron Man 3" is set to break box office records left and right. The inevitable financial success of the franchise (better than any other Marvel franchise not named "The Avengers") will inevitably lead to the question of whether Disney will further perpetuate the franchise to squeeze more money out of its cash cow.
"Möbius" moves at a steady pace with its powerful love story keeping its otherwise meandering spy narrative afloat. The film's spy narrative never really become comprehensible, but its delicate presentation of the romance grabs hold of the viewer and refuses to let go.
With the Tribeca Film Festival coming to a close, a time for reflection is certainly in order and with it, a list of the Top 10 films seen at the festival. It must be noted that of the 89 films featured, this writer only saw a third and will be basing this list off of the films that were seen. The omission of some major choices may be the result of not seeing a particular film.
"Byzantium" is an engaging analysis of mother-daughter relationships in the world of the vampire genre. The film further elaborates on the pains and difficulties of immortality and questions whether the imprisoning state it creates makes it worthwhile. The journey its characters undertake will certainly shock and entertain the viewer during its duration, but the film's underlying themes will maintain it in the collective consciousness for far longer.
