If you happen to be a fan of movie trailers then you must be having a ball right now. Every week it seems as though a different franchise is churning out a new – and downright jaw dropping – trailer to get people excited about their next installments. One franchise that has remained noticeably quiet lately is the Harry Potter universe and the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

While everyone currently finds themselves gearing up for Star Wars: The Force Awakens to hit theaters on December 18, the folks in charge are thinking long term towards the future of the franchise. Seemingly going against the established cinematic universe tradition, Disney and Lucasfilm have made the decision that these Anthology films don’t have to plant the seeds for long term franchises.

Superheroes and the LEGO universe fit together like… well basically like two corresponding LEGO pieces. The two major comic book giants — DC and Marvel — have both had massive success adapting their material to the LEGO universe by putting their iconic characters into the hands of fans in a way that is accessible for all ages.

For a crudely animated cartoon about four young Colorado boys living in their small rural hometown, South Park has seen and done it all. After nearly two decades on the air, there are few topics that the iconic Comedy Central series has not broached, tackled, or skewered in some form or another. Even early on in the show’s successful run, it was never afraid to push the envelope and was never too intimidated to say something that others wouldn’t.

Some directors are known for using certain concepts or tropes over the span of several films. If there’s one thing Shane Black has nailed down to a science over his long career, it’s the buddy movie. The latest trailer for Black’s newest buddy outing The Nice Guys has just dropped, and it lands in the perfect sweet spot between dark and hilarious.

The Hollywood award season is now in full swing. While certain films have made an impression, other – just as well produced – projects have seemingly faltered under the weight of the competition. It’s a disheartening sight for any self-respecting cinephile to witness, and it’s a plight felt even at the very top of the Hollywood food chain.

Captain America: Civil War looks as though it is going to be an enormous movie. While all everyone can seem to talk about is the impending showdown between former allies Steve Rogers and Tony Stark, people seem to have forgotten that remnants of Hydra will also join the fray — led by the villainous Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) to wreak havoc on Captain America’s life.

The Walking Dead has slowly lumbered its way into the very fabric of modern pop culture and taken an enormous bite. Starting off as a humble series of graphic novels, the series has gone on to two television series, and a video game series just as heart wrenching as anything Robert Kirkman ever committed to the pages of his original series.

We’ve all heard of the black market: a seedy criminal underworld where one can purchase anything from illegal drugs to firearms to organs. However, there is also a place called the “Dark Web” a digital black market where savvy users can obtain anything and everything they desire for a fraction of the market price.

Between Arrow, The Flash, and the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow, The CW has practically cornered the market on DC-based television properties. We're not discrediting the contributions of shows like Fox’s Gotham and CBS’ Supergirl, but The CW has essentially created the first ever live action DC cinematic universe far ahead of its silver screen equivalent.

Between Creed and Jurassic World, film series cherished by members of Generation X have been experiencing something of a renaissance over the last year. Amidst all of the major film franchises that have been revived recently (or will be in the foreseeable future), one of particular interest is that of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Iron Man 3 helmsman Shane Black’s untitled Predator project a.k.a.

Negan is coming. We repeat, Negan is coming. Not since The Governor has there existed a character from The Walking Dead’s source material that fans have wanted to see brought to the TV show as much as Negan and his group of Saviors. Appearing on AMC’s Talking Dead, The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman explained how Negan’s arrival on the show is going to mark a major dramatic shift for the series:

When America’s big banks played fast and loose with the money of average people, four men decided to stand up and do something about it. That’s the elevator pitch for Adam McKay’s The Big Short; the film wants you to examine recent events in American financial history, and it wants you to get mad.

Taking on the role of a superhero can often represent a defining moment in an actor’s career. If it goes well, they become forever iconic for that character in the realm of cinema; if it goes wrong, the studio will recast and reboot a few years later, attempting to erase the public’s collective memory of the misstep.

Hell’s Kitchen is a small neighborhood, but that doesn’t mean there’s only room for one hero on the block. While both of these heroes have had absorbing adventures on their on, it has long been established that they will be crossing each other’s paths at some point in the near future – by fully teaming up in The Defenders.
