Director Alejandro González Iñárritu isn’t known for comedy — films like Amores Perros, Babel,and 21 Grams may have elements of humor (small ones), but are generally serious, muti-strand dramas.
His new film, Birdman, appears to be something else. The film features Michael Keaton as an actor known for playing a the hero Birdman, and the character appears to be haunted by his past as he attempts to mount a Broadway comeback. In fact, the Birdman character may literally be haunting Keaton’s character, as set pics from the film show the actor being followed by a masked figure bearing giant wings — reportedly as manifested by the actor’s imagination. The photos are eye-catching; see a couple in full below. Read More »

Sure, hiring Megan Fox as April O’Neil was a fairly obvious choice, considering her connection to producer Michael Bay. But Will Arnett was a fun pick to play April’s cameraman and rival Vernon Fenwick, and Danny Woodburn and William Fichtner were intriguing additions as well.
The latest star to join the cast was Whoopi Goldberg, another pretty unexpected name. It wasn’t immediately obvious whom she’d be playing, but we now have word that her character will also be connected to the Channel 6 News team. Hit the jump to find out who she is.

Optimus Prime may be the leader of the Transformers but the heart and soul has always been Bumblebee. In the Michael Bay films, that was in large part due to his relationship with Sam Witwicky, played by Shia LaBeouf. In Transformers 4 however, Sam is no longer part of the story and it seems Bumblebee has taken the break-up to heart, reverting to a more retro look as a modified 1967 Camaro. Check it out below.
