Josh Schwartz may have made a name for himself by creating Gossip Girl – a show about the interpersonal drama of wealthy New York teens – but that hasn’t stopped him from expanding into new territory. Fox has hired Schwartz to produce a pilot about haunted furniture. Yes, you read that correctly.

Although known mostly for her comedic turns, Reese Witherspoon appears set to continue stepping outside her comfort zone. After recent dramatic success, she will jump headlong into even less familiar territory: the thriller. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lionsgate has purchased Cold – "a dark thriller with supernatural elements" – based on a pitch by writer Bill Marsili.

With DC properties slowly but surely establishing a firm monopoly on our nightly television programming — not that there’s anything wrong with that — it was only a matter of time before certain programs began to butt heads. In classic DC fashion, the battle will pit World’s Finest properties against one another — specifically Gotham and Supergirl.

Although plenty of people saw the Deadpool trailer weeks ago when a poor, grainy quality version leaked from San Diego Comic-Con – such is the world we live in – this week, the whole world got a chance to see it in all its violent, vulgar glory. Deadpool undoubtedly represents one of Fox’s biggest gambles, so let’s get right into it and dissect what we’ve seen so far.

Few actors have sustained career a career as long and prolific as Tom Cruise; this is only more impressive when one considers that most of Cruise’s films involve high-octane action and visceral thrills. Love him or hate him, the world’s most famous Scientologist has amassed an impressive filmography.

When will it work for Marvel’s first family? Once again, another adaptation of the Fantastic Four has failed miserably with critics and moviegoers alike — marking their third cinematic failure of all time. The film cost roughly $200 million to produce and featured an incredibly talented cast in Miles Teller, Kate Mara, and Michael B.

Over the last few decades, we have had five different Batman actors (with another on the way), three Supermen, two Charles Xaviers, but only one Wolverine. Of any actor working in the superhero genre today, arguably none own their role as definitively as Hugh Jackman. The Aussie actor has remained a mainstay of the genre ever since the first “X-Men” film — the beginning of modern comic-book films — in 2000.

Despite rumors to the contrary, Channing Tatum has officially signed on to play the Cajun mutant Gambit in a stand alone entry to Fox’s “X-Men” franchise. “X-Men” fans practically broke the internet last week when reports started to circulate that negotiations between the “Magic Mike” actor began to break down.

Spoofs come in all shapes and sizes. Caricaturing surf movies of the 1960’s – as well as B-horror films – Psycho Beach Party follows a group of teens in a southern California beach town as a serial killer slowly picks them off one by one. As the killer’s reign of terror continues, Florence (Lauren Ambrose) loses track of time through psychotic episodes and begins to wonder if she may have something to do with the deaths.

It finally happening. Tonight, after 17 years of sharp satire and our nostalgic trip through Comedy Central’s “Month of Zen,” Jon Stewart says goodbye to “The Daily Show.”. Trevor Noah’s ascension to the “Daily Show” desk, slated for September 28, has been nothing if not controversial. A relatively unknown quantity, his history of sexist and anti-Semitic jokes left a sour impression on the show’s already distraught fan-base.

Just when we thought the cast of “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” had reached critical mass, Latino Review obtained supposedly reliable rumors that actress Jena Malone (“The Hunger Games” franchise) will feature prominently in the film as Barbara Gordon. Although Malone’s presence in the film had already become common knowledge months ago, most had assumed that she would play Carrie Kelly — the Robin from “The Dark Knight Returns,” upon which “BVS” takes ample inspiration.

Advances in technology have always had an impact on our movie-going experience, from the innovation of 3-D, to the recent boom of reclining seats in major movie theaters. However, not everyone sees these advancements as a positive thing. Regal Entertainment Group, one of the largest movie theater chains in world, has vocally spoken out against Paramount Pictures’ upcoming plan to use video on demand (VOD) to shorten a film’s time between theatrical and home release.

We can all agree that Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy represents one of the most airtight trifectas in cinematic history. Batman Begins expertly showcased Batman as a terrifying wraith in the eyes of criminals – as well as a pitch-perfect adaptation of “Batman: Year One.”. The Dark Knight brought the comic book genre as a whole to a new, much more cerebral place by introducing Heath Ledger’s iconic Joker to the world.

The Gyllenhaals have become a Hollywood institution over the last decade; both Maggie and her brother, Jake, have proven themselves time and time again to be reliable forces in the films they inhabit. In honor of Jake Gyllenhaal’s recent release, “Southpaw,” let’s take a look back at some of the actor’s best performances to date.

Over the last couple weeks, the world has erupted in response the death of Cecil — a black-maned lion from the Hwange National Park reserve in Zimbabwe. People have taken to social media to voice their outrage and sorrow in the wake of the saddest lion death since Mufasa. If you haven’t kept up to date on the matter, here’s everything you need to know.

It goes without saying that comic book adaptations have become a fairly common. Between “Daredevil,” “The Flash,” and even the upcoming “Suicide Squad,” they have taken over almost every entertainment medium. I don’t think I am alone in my belief that the freshman season of “Gotham” missed the mark by a considerable degree.
