Michael Bay wants to clear a few things up. Earlier this week, we ran a story about Bay saying his upcoming film Transformers: Age of Extinction would be “much more cinematic” and not as “goofy” as the last one. This wasn’t the first time one of Bay’s quotes seemed to criticize his previous work. Well, turns out, Bay doesn’t feel that’s true. The director of Bad Boys, Armageddon, The Rock and going on four Transformers movies took to his official site to set the record straight. “I do not apologize for any Transformers movies,” he says. Read the full statement below, including the revelation we’ll see the first footage from the film during the Super Bowl. Read More »

The world was rocked this weekend when actor Paul Walker died in a car crash at the age of 40. As someone who has followed his career since the very beginning, and has seen every Fast and Furious movie opening night, the news hit me much harder than I expected. Walker was such a fun person to watch. His presence and energy always burst through the screen and to see him blossom with growing franchise was continually rewarding. He was just at the beginning of a career that could have went anywhere.
That said, I couldn’t make it 50 seconds into a video Universal Pictures created as a tribute to Walker without the tears starting. It’s a beautiful, emotional piece of work. Check it out below. Read More »

In an era when most major film franchises are pushing out a film a year — or even more, in the case of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — The Chronicles of Narnia has gone at a remarkably relaxed pace. The first film, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, was released in 2005, followed three years later by Prince Caspian and then two years after that by The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
Now, three years after the last entry, producers are slowly but surely getting the pieces in place for a fourth. Life of Pi screenwriter David Magee has just been brought on to write The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair, which entered development earlier this year. Get the latest details on the project after the jump.

If you’re like me, you have mixed feeling about this upcoming From Dusk Till Dawn TV series. The fact Robert Rodriguez is so involved is intriguing, but previous attempts to extend the vampire story (i.e. – its two direct to video sequels) have landed far below the bar set by the 1996 original. However, with a cast that includes DJ Cotrona, Robert Patrick, Don Johnson and Wilmer Valderama, the show has lots going for it. It also seems Rodriguez is creating the show with an eye towards the fans, as per his latest revelation.
The director took to Twitter to reveal the show actually links with Pulp Fiction, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, the co-star, writer and producer of the original film. Check it out below. Read More »

Fear is linked to the unknown, and related to change, and as such the birth of a child is one of the prime concerns in movie horror. There are so many questions that can drive simple uncertainty into realistic fear. ”What will my life be like after the kid is born? What if I don’t know how to parent? What if I ruin my kid? What if my kid is a sociopath even though I’m a great parent?” And so on. Fear of childbirth has been painted on the screen dozens of times; the mainstream popularity of horror as a cinematic genre can be directly traced to one example, Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby.
I don’t think it’s unfair to Devil’s Due to say it probably isn’t any Rosemary’s Baby. Not many films are. But this one comes from directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett, one half of the collective known as Radio Silence; they created the last segment of V/H/S. That worked well, and the actual scenes of horror in the teaser trailer below are eye-catching. Given that we’re pretty familiar with the “evil pregnancy” idea, how far will this film go? Read More »
