When the first look at
Oscar Isaac’s Apocalypse hit the internet, a lot of fans were less than pleased with many comparing the look to one of the villains from the original
Power Rangers series. And
Bryan Singer heard you. During an interview with
IGN, Singer explained his choices regarding Oscar Isaac’s Apocalypse and addressed the fan’s criticism regarding
Isaac’s height.
Kong: Skull Island is set to be released next year, but before the people at
Legendary Pictures can release a single frame of the movie, they have to address the
800-pound gorilla in the room.
Artist Joe DeVito claims he created an entire Skull Island universe surrounding
King Kong, with the blessing of the original King Kong creator's family. DeVito claims in July 2014 he came to an agreement with
Warner Bros. That same summer,
Legendary announced its release of a Skull Island motion picture. DeVito is seeking compensation and credit, seeking at least $
3.5 million in general and punitive damages.

According to
The Hollywood Reporter, comediennes
Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell and
Ilana Glazer are joining Scarlett Johansson in the Sony comedy
Rock That Body.
The script tells of five friends who get a beach house in
Miami for a wild bachelorette weekend that goes completely off the rails. The all-female comedy is intended to be R-rated and a complement to the studio’s all-female reboot of
Ghostbusters.
Though critics and most movie going audiences didn’t think
Batman v Superman:
Dawn of Justice lived up to the hype, the
Zack Snyder film that launched the DC cinematic universe has nonetheless become the seventh highest-grossing comic book movie worldwide. According to The Hollywood Reporter, box office numbers following Sunday’s earnings state that the film has grossed a global cumulative total of $862.9 million with
THR noting the film could finish its theatrical run in the $875 million sector. With $325.1 million of that number coming from
North American ticket sales, Batman v Superman lands just behind
Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 and a few million away from his first Spider-Man movie.
Zach Snyder is already hard at work on
Justice League Part 1 which will find
Ben Affleck’s
Batman rounding up the members of the superhero team after the events of
Batman v. Superman.
Despite the fact that production has reportedly been underway for weeks, a lot of fans don’t know exactly which characters we can expect to see reprise their roles from BvS. But thanks to
Jeremy Irons, we have confirmation that
Alfred will in fact return.
Before writer-director
Taika Waititi releases
Thor: Ragnarok for
Marvel next year, his latest movie, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, will hit theatres and now, a new trailer has been released giving us a more in-depth look at the story months after it made the rounds in the film festival circuit. The story follows
Ricky (played by newcomer
Julian Dennison), who’s been making his own rounds in the foster care circuit. After landing in the home of
Uncle Hec, played by
Jurassic Park’s
Sam Neill, a tragedy strikes and the two go on the run or risk Ricky moving on to another family.
