Get Out director Jordan Peele has shared a longer response to his horror film being categorized as a comedy for the Golden Globes. The movie is, admittedly, difficult to classify. Though technically a thriller, it could just as easily be classified as a social satire, and much of its brilliance is in its ability to upend genre norms. But while Get Out does have comedic elements, the decision to put it under “comedy” seemed to dismiss its overarching message, a sobering commentary about the exploitation of black bodies and the deep racial divides still festering amid modern society....

Julia Roberts is unexpectedly reunited with her (troubled) young adult son in the newly-released teaser trailer for Ben is Back. The drama was written and directed by novelist-turned filmmaker Peter Hedges, who is directing his real-life son (and fellow Oscar nominee) Lucas Hedges here. Roberts stars in Ben is Back as Holly Burns, a woman whose son Ben (Lucas Hedges) returns home without warning one Christmas Eve, seemingly well-adjusted and problem-free....

The highly anticipated Justice League wrapped filming in Iceland in October last year, ahead of its theatrical release this November; with the end of filming came the end of regular behind-the-scenes posts and images. Fans are now waiting with bated breath for the second official trailer for the superhero team-up (rumored to be appearing this spring), and enjoying speculation as well as the official build-up to what might be DC’s most anticipated movie yet....

Justice League’s actor Ciaran Hinds talks the character’s mindset and connection to DCEU villain Darkseid. Warner Bros. is quickly approaching the start of their 2017 DCEU slate. Wonder Woman may be up first, but Justice League has already started to take some of the spotlight, reminding everyone that they will get to see the super powered group of DC heroes together for the first time on the big screen. To ring in this new era for WB, the creative team behind the DCEU had to find a threat large enough to warrant all of these heroes gathering....

UPDATE: APRIL FOOLS! – But who should play Darkseid? It turns out all those jokes about Ben Affleck talking his friends into joining the DC Movie Universe weren’t far off the mark. It may not be the role of Robin the Boy Wonder that some fans had hoped for, but Matt Damon bringing Darkseid to life in Justice League is a bit more exciting. And if we’re honest… a better use of his talents....

Jordan Peele isn’t interested in making big budget tentpoles — a bold statement, given the runaway success of Get Out. The film marked his directorial debut after making a name for himself on Comedy Central sketch show Key & Peele. Despite its measly $4.5 million price tag — and the fact that multiple studios passed on it before landing with Blumhouse Productions — Get Out was a certified hit, raking in universal acclaim and a staggering $229 million box office sweep....

Jumanji: The Next Level, the latest installment in the Jumanji franchise, raised some important questions about the Jumanji universe that were left unanswered by the time the credits rolled. Based on the film Jumanji (1995), Jumanji: The Next Level is a modern retelling about a group of kids who get trapped inside of a life-threatening video game and need to play their way out to return to the real world....

Loki introduced “He Who Remains” in the first season finale, which fans have inferred is none other than Kang The Conqueror, among the greatest Avengers supervillains from Marvel Comics. Kang lacks superhuman abilities, but he possesses incredible powers in the comics that the MCU is sure to realize in live-action. He achieves his ruthless aims with advanced technology from the far future and creates endless Kang variants by tampering with the timestream....

Some brand new gameplay footage has arrived online for Jurassic World Evolution, the upcoming theme park video game that will let fans control the iconic dinosaur-stuffed island. Following in the footsteps of 2003’s Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis and the iOS/Android app Jurassic World: The Game, this new title promises to offer the most visually-stunning playable version of the park so far. The first Jurassic World Evolution trailer reached the web in August, giving fans a tantalizing glimpse of this exciting new prospect....

Wikipedia members debate whether or not the existence of a separate page for the Justice League Snyder Cut is justified. It’s no secret that Zack Snyder’s final DC film has a convoluted history. Before it even got into production, it underwent rewrites to take into consideration the negative response to Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. While Snyder finished principal photography, he had to step down from the gig due to a personal tragedy - paving the way for Joss Whedon to do another round of rewrites, helm the extensive reshoots, and assemble the movie’s theatrical version....

Despite the huge split in opinion when it comes to the most-recent movies that help make up the DC Extended Universe (Suicide Squad and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice), DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures will continue on with releasing their slate of upcoming films; with Wonder Woman right around the corner and superhero team-up Justice League following towards the end of the year. While information surrounding the Justice League film has been trickling out and speculation surrounding the movie’s second trailer dropping in the spring continues, little has been said about the confirmation that Warner Bros recently made of Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor being part of the Justice League cast....

The 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park celebrates its 25th Anniversary this summer, and next month, you can see Steven Spielberg’s epic adventure on the big screen, thanks to Fathom Events. This comes just a few months after the latest installment in this franchise, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom hit theaters, which proved the franchise still has plenty of bite at the box office, taking in $410.2 million domestic and $1.2 billion worldwide, from a $170 million budget....

Screen Rant: Jovan, congratulations on all the success. You’re certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. You guys had a great debut at Fantastic Fest, and now we’re finally come full circle and made it to the home video release for Blu-ray and Digital. Talk to me about Boyce. Talk to me about the character a little bit. Screen Rant: All the characters are really flushed out in this movie and this does definitely feel like a band of brothers type of war epic, along with the mashup of a horror film....

With Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle seamlessly blending real action and CGI, it turns out one of the movie’s biggest stunts wasn’t created through the use of special effects. It may have been 22 years after the action-packed original, but that didn’t stop director Jake Kasdan pulling out all the stops to pump some A-list talent and adrenaline into the world of Jumanji. Dwayne Johnson was the de facto lead with all his Hollywood might, and while the 45-year-old didn’t quite do a Tom Cruise to perform his own stunts, one brave artist was sent hurtling into the air in one of the movie’s most daring action sequences....

Jurassic World 3 may be adding another familiar face: original Jurassic Park actor Joe Mazzello. Mazzello played Tim Murphy, the younger brother of Lex and grandson of John Hammond. Due to their parents’ divorce, the two come to Jurassic Park and spend a lot of time with Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), who saves their lives many times. Lex and Tim also appear in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, but only at the beginning of the film....

Kanye West disses Dancing with the Stars in his new album’s song lyrics. This controversy is especially humorous considering his wife Kim and her brother have competed on the show in past seasons. West has never shied away from controversy, but his new comments have attracted the ire of one community that seemed impervious to rap beef: the ballroom dancing crowd. The 42-year-old rapper, who has performed to sold-out audiences at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, is a staunch supporter of his wife and in-laws....

It’s very significant that the final trailer for Justice League opens with a rosy moment of wish-fulfillment, both for Lois Lane (Amy Adams) and for fans of Superman. Lois steps out onto the porch of the Kent home and sees Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) standing in the field, lit by the setting sun that gives the Man of Steel his miraculous god-like powers. “I’ll take that as a yes,” Clark says, with a smile....
