New ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Photos Put the Spotlight on Electro
Sony is starting their marketing blitz for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' a move that should culminate Thursday with the release of the film's first trailer. But before we get to see these characters in motion, new stills have emerged to highlight the hero and his new main villain Electro (Jamie Foxx).
‘Warcraft’ Blinks and Moves Away From ‘Star Wars: Episode 7′ as Universal Dates Future Titles
Duncan Jones' 'Warcraft' was originally scheduled for release on December 18, 2015, which it called before 'Star Wars: Episode 7' announced when it would be hitting theaters (many thought the new 'Star Wars' would go with mid-May as with all the previous films). But now that 'Episode 7' has picked the same weekend, 'Warcraft' blinked and has moved to March 11, 2016.
‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Finally Gets a Release Date
There's been a long wait for 'Mad Max: Fury Road.' The last 'Max' film came out in 1985, while rumors of a fourth film have been building since 2003, when director George Miller first announced he had a script and was ready to start pre-production. Shooting commenced in the summer of 2012, but in the interim there's only been one picture from the set and little else. But now, finally, the film has
‘Vampire Academy’ Trailer: Finally an Intentionally Funny Young Adult Film
There have been a number of Young Adult adaptations made of late -- arguably too many -- that focus on the growing pains of becoming an adult while dealing with a dystopian future, or magic, or vampires and werewolves. But though these movies have had their jokes, none have been pitched as comedies, and that might be where 'Vampire Academy' succeeds.
‘Insidious 3′ Is Dated for April 2015
The new studio model for sequels is to call your release date before you have a cast or crew, and often before you have a script.

Paul Walker Says a ‘Fast and Furious 8′ is Guaranteed
Though we're still months away from the release of 'Fast and Furious 7' (which is scheduled to hit theaters July 11, 2014), series star Paul Walker has spoken about Universal's intentions for the franchise, and he seems convinced that there will be an eighth entry in the series.
‘Mission: Impossible 5′ is Coming for Christmas in 2015
Considering that 2015 is looking like one of the biggest movie years in the history of cinema, it's surprising that studios aren't as afraid of 'Star Wars: Episode 7' as they were of 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.' Currently 'Episode 7' will open December 18, the same day as 'Warcraft,' and now 'Mission: Impossible 5' has announced that they'll be hitting theaters a week later on Christmas Day.

‘Batman vs. Superman’ Could Be Looking for a Robin
Though it isn't due out until July 2015, it seems that Zack Snyder's 'Batman vs. Superman' (or whatever they eventually call it) has done some shooting, and is now auditioning people for the film. The latest scoop is that the film might feature Dick Grayson, also known as Robin or Nightwing.
‘The Hobbit 2′ Trailer: Epic Adventures Come in ‘The Desolation of Smaug’
If you're like us, you may have been a little underwhelmed by the first 'Hobbit' movie, but the latest trailer for Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' seems not only action packed, but lacking in any scenes featuring long meals or songs.
‘Sleepaway Camp’ is the Latest Slasher Movie to Get the Reboot
Though the boom years of Hollywood remaking horror classics from the seventies and eighties seems to have come and gone, there are still some stragglers -- like the recent version of 'Carrie' -- that have yet to be redone. Today there was word of a new 'Pet Sematary,' and -- to keep in the Halloween spirit -- 'Sleepaway Camp' is now up for remaking.
‘Hellraiser’ Remake Nets Clive Barker and the Original “Pinhead” Doug Bradley
The best way to soothe fans of a property is get the original creator(s) involved (see also: Lawrence Kasdan, 'Star Wars: Episode 7'), so the Dimension films have done a smart thing by hiring original writer/director/horror legend Clive Barker to pen the remake of 'Hellraiser,' and Barker says that he'll be bringing back Doug Bradley to play the film's iconic character Pinhead.
‘Anchorman 2′ Trailer: Ron Burgundy is Back and Dumber Than Ever!

Why would a man have a bag of bowling balls and a scorpion terrarium in his car? Well, that's Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) for you. And if the first full trailer for 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' didn't hit as many high notes as one might hope, this latest trailer delivers and then some.
