When Jeremy Renner is annoyed at you, Jeremy Renner lets you know. Why? Because Jeremy Renner is an actor, with not one but TWO Oscar nominations and certain expectations for his characters. Yeah, let that sink in.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe changed course slightly a few days ago when it was announced that its studio was scrapping plans for a two-part Infinity War movie, instead opting for two separate Avengers outings that would tell contained, yet understandably connected stories. And yet despite that, scribes Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, seen in part as the creative guardians of Phase Three of the MCU after their script for Captain America: Civil War, have confirmed that they're hard at work on scripts for Infinity War and what's now just Untitled Avengers, toiling away on both films in tandem.
The recipients of each year's Teen Choice Awards are always an interesting combination of zeitgeist-harnessing franchise fare, Teen Vogue cover subjects, and legitimately strong dramatic work, and 2016's crop of winners proved no different. Held tonight at The Forum in Los Angeles and broadcast live on Fox, the ceremony found the one and only John Cena teaming up with former Nickelodeon actress Victoria Justice to host a night filled with performances by the likes of Charlie Puth, Flo Rida, Jason Derulo, NE-YO, and Serayah (of Fox's Empire).
If any of you knew that there was a Maximum Ride movie floating around out there and didn't tell me, I'll have you know I'm mad about it. Not like I've been following this series for years. And I'm especially mad, given how hilariously awful the first trailer for said movie looks.
With Manchester by the Sea rapidly building Oscar buzz ahead of its theatrical release this November, Casey Affleck is lining up another dramatic venture: My Abandonment, an adaptation of the 2009 Peter Rock novel.
Comic-Con attendees were the first to see footage from Warner Bros.' DC venture Wonder Woman, which holds the lofty distinction of being the first modern superhero blockbuster to be toplined by a female protagonist, but that initial preview has long since been released online. And now, WB is going a step further by recutting the video for a strangely early extended TV spot (, the pic's not out until next year).
Oh, True Detective. Sweet, sweet True Detective. When you first appeared in 2014, full of dark poetry and Matthew McConaughney, we were smitten. Nomination after nomination fell into your lap, after that beautiful first year of sky-high ratings and critical thinkpieces. The world was your oyster. Then came season 2 - and we were all just left wondering, what happened? Your aesthetic was scattered, your acting spotty, your story was - well, the less we say about that the better.
There's a surprising amount riding on Universal's reboot of The Mummy, a consequence of the potentially never-ending shared-universe craze Hollywood has locked itself into. A reintroduction to the iconic movie villain, the blockbuster will also set up a world that can comfortably fit all manner of other famed monsters, from the Creature from the Black Lagoon to the Invisible Man.
One of television's biggest dramas is entering its final stretch. Speaking to the Television Critics' Association earlier today, HBO programming prexy Casey Bloys confirmed that Game of Thrones will end after its planned eighth season - though there's, as one might expect given the size of the show, a lingering possibility of spinoffs.
File this one under "news nobody saw coming... because no one was exactly looking." There's been buzz since 2011 about a remake of the sci-fi cult hit Flatliners, but things became more solidified in recent months as a cast popped up around the project, including original star Kiefer Sutherland. His involvement seemed to indicate that the remake might carry on from the events of the first pic - which would in fact make it a sequel (or at the very least a requel, if you hate yourself enough to engage in that level of Hollywood jargon) - but it wasn't until earlier this week that Flatliners was unveiled as a full-on sequel.
