Last Turkey Day, Netflix gave fans of bad movies and wisecracking robots something to be thankful for, renewing Mystery Science Theater 3000 for a 12th season. It was a fitting choice, extending the show’s Kickstarted revival on a date that’s long been synonymous with MST3K marathons and premieres.

Chinese government investigators say certain investment companies are faking box office results.

When you think of open-source software, you think about smartphones, servers, and the cloud. You probably don't think about movies, but you should.

Plagued by production woes for 25 years, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote embraces the spirit of its 17th-century source material. But unlike de Cervantes, Gilliam uses the female characters as props for the hero’s story.

Star Wars Resistance, Iron Fist, and more.

Wesley Snipes continues to tease a future appearance as Blade, either as a continuation or even in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although Marvel Studios receives plenty of credit for kicking off this current age of superhero movies, they were hardly the first. The success of the original X-Men trilogy and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy both made it possible, but neither of those would've happened without the success of Blade in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Snipes made three appearances as the vampire hero, but fans of his portrayal continue to want more.

Omega Underground might have possibly ended the debate of what the Avengers 4 title is going to be. As we’ve been seemingly the first to discover a listing on Trent Opaloch‘s website which list his credits and includes the title Avengers: End Game.

It's one of the most common tropes in science fiction. But which movies actually get the science right?

There’s an art to editing coming attractions—and a lot of work, too. Some masters of the form responsible for classic Marvel, Pixar, and horror trailers talk about the arduous process of their creation.

Those expecting confirmation of a downgrade to Marvel's Spider-Man when assessing final code should probably look away now. Having stacked up the final game against the E3 2017 presentation, our overall conclusion is that Insomniac is on the money here - there have been changes, as there are during production of any game - but there has been no technical downgrade. In fact, we'd say that the final presentation is upgraded in key respects, both technical and artistic.

Burt Reynolds, the mustachioed megastar who first strutted on screen more than half a century ago, died Thursday, according to his agent Todd Eisner.

Denis Villeneuve may not have gotten the call yet from Disney and Lucasfilm to direct a Star Wars movie, but he can make his own — in the form of his Dune remake. Dune is Frank Herbert’s seminal science-fiction novel published in 1965, years before the first Star Wars film came out in 1977. In fact, Star Wars director George Lucas has acknowledged the influence that Dune had on early drafts of A New Hope, so it’s fitting that Villeneuve may bring it full circle.

When David Ayer and Will Smith’s Netflix tentpole “Bright” became available to stream on December 22, it was met with some of the most hostile reviews of 2017. IndieWire’s own David Ehrlich gave the film an F rating, calling the fantasy-realism film “miserable” and “the worst film of the year,” and the film currently has a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes. But the abysmal reviews couldn’t stop “Bright” from becoming a humongous hit on Netflix and earning a sequel.

Like characters in one of those zombie movies where no one says “zombie,” the crew of the Cloverfield space station—a big metal psilocybin mushroom orbiting near-future Earth—doesn’t know what it’s in for, having left our planet without ever having seen a single sci-fi horror movie: not Alien, not Event Horizon, and definitely nothing about science gone wrong. Not that they haven’t heard (and dismissed) the possibility that experiments with supercharged particle accelerators could lead to inter-dimensional mixups beyond human understanding. (When don’t they?) But narrative is a science, too, and the warning could just as well...

Ahead of the world premiere of his latest feature, Anderson joined his star-studded voice cast to talk "Isle of Dogs" for the first time publicly.

The actor talks about being sexually harassed over a decade ago, and the result of speaking up: “The silence was deafening.”

It's been 20 years since director Alex Proyas unleashed his science fiction masterpiece, and we're celebrating this Dark City anniversary in style. Let's take a look at why this brilliant movie has stood the test of time.

Worshipping the media is as foolish as worshiping politicians. By James Bovard.

The Shape of Water takes Best Picture.

There are other factors behind the weirder, more personal nominees in the category, but the statistics are worth considering.

Ryan Meinerding, the head of visual development at Marvel Studios, has an Instagram account that’s essentially a record of what could have been. On the page, unused designs for a bearded Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok live alongside takes for a more tech-infused Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy. While the sketches may just seem like a fun “What if?” they’re actually essential to the making of the MCU.

But seriously, does this matter?

I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.

Ready for Indiana Joan? After Harrison Ford makes one more film, it could happen, the director says.

First-quarter box office figures from China beat U.S./Canada for the first time. How it happened should concern studios.

We’ve identified a few mistakes that Tinseltown keeps making. Play through our game and try to avoid these pitfalls.

When HBO's heralded series "The Wire" went off the air 10 years ago, it wasn't immediately clear that it would be a launching pad for much of the ensemble. Sure, the show had been hailed as one of, if not the, greatest television drama ever and it launched series regulars Idris Elba (Russell "Stringer" Bell) and, less directly, Michael B. Jordan (Wallace) to stardom while making names for other cast members including Dominic West (Jimmy McNulty), Michael K. Williams (Omar Little), Wendell Pierce (William "Bunk" Moreland) and Clarke Peters (Lester Freamon).
