With The Hunger Games opening in practically every theater today, we have a first look at star Jennifer Lawrence’s next movie, the horror-thriller House at the End of the Street, which opens in theaters September 26. Jennifer Lawrence plays a young woman who moves into a new neighborhood with her mother (Elisabeth Shue). They discover that the house next door was the site of a grisly murder, and that the reclusive young man (Max Thieriot) whose family was murdered, still lives inside....

Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) has grown a cult-like following in the audience as he repeatedly commits violent acts and tends towards treason if it means getting what he wants. While Daemon does have antagonistic tendencies, he has often been shown to hold the capacity for great compassion when it comes to those he holds close. Here we will look back at the moments that meant the most to Daemon’s character. We will rank them based on the amount of character development that stemmed from the scene, their impact on the overall story, and the impression these scenes in House of the Dragon left on the audience....

Expanding cinematic universes has been both a blessing and a curse. In some cases, it allows for unique, diverse world-building to be at the forefront. Where before, a story might have been simply character or plot-driven, in a cinematic world, it is deeply immersive. Each story is enmeshed in another with shared planets, histories, cultures, and in some cases, a shared story. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a pinnacle example of this in action....

Director and filmmaker Mike Flanagan has an array of movies and shows under his belt, and has become the new face of gothic horror in film. He’s one of the big names in horror now and even has his own “Flanaverse” on Netflix. While a lot of his recent works have been adaptations of books, his own creative ideas have proven equally haunting. Whether you’re an avid fan of his works or just a casual viewer, you’re likely to see some familiar faces in his works....

X-Men star Hugh Jackman has confirmed his return as Wolverine in the upcoming MCU sequel Deadpool 3. Taking to social media, Jackman shared Ryan Reynolds’ sudden announcement video, responding to the idea of playing Logan one more time with a simple, “Yeah, sure.” Thanks to Ryan Reynolds’ penchant for jokes and japes, it’s sometimes difficult to take the man at his word. But, with Hugh Jackman himself taking to social media to confirm the news, Marvel fans can now really allow themselves to get excited at the prospect of Deadpool versus Wolverine in Deadpool 3....

Batman confronts the Joker in a new clip from Warner Bros. Animation’s upcoming adaptation of Injustice. The footage features the Clown Prince of Crime (Kevin Pollak) doing what he does best, getting under The Dark Knight’s (Anson Mount) skin, as he tries to convince him of the dark path that he has led Superman (Justin Hartley) down with his egregious acts. Of course, Batman does not believe that someone as incorruptible as the Man of Steel can be goaded into evil and violent acts (despite the character doing this so often that it has become something of a tired cliché) and doubts the Joker’s attempts to turn Superman to the dark side....

Is Superman finally getting a new show on the small screen? According to a new report, that may very well be the case. We must caution, as always with things of this nature, that for the time being, this should be regarded as nothing more than a rumor, as it hasn’t been confirmed by the studio or anyone associated with the production. That said, it sounds like The CW may finally be committing to the Man of Steel in a meaningful way....

Isabelle Adjani’s career isn’t as well known today as it should. The French actress/singer is one of the most prolific in European cinema, with her career spanning over 50 years. She’s still very active today with all kinds of roles. The cabinet where she keeps her awards is probably full of César trophies, as she’s the only performer in history to have won five of those. If this is the first time you’ve heard about her, then it’s time to go back and dig into the past....

Imagine you’re given a co-starring role in your first film. Now imagine that the actor you’re co-starring with is none other than film legend Peter O’Toole. This was the case that actress Jodie Whittaker found herself in when she signed on for the role of Jessie in Venus. The film focuses on a pair of veteran actors, Maurice (Peter O’Toole) and Ian (Leslie Phillips), whose daily routine is disrupted by the arrival of Ian’s grandniece, Jessie (Whittaker)....

John Safran vs. God is an Ali G inflected show with the only difference being that John Safran plays himself as he examines the other religions of the world. However, he does this in an offhand, comedic-type way to highlight the idea that nobody should really take a belief system that seriously. This is essentially his gambit and it might seem like a trick pony, if Safran didn’t find new ways to poke fun at his subjects and even himself....

Empire recently spoke with Avatar producer Jon Landau, who revealed that the highly-anticipated sequel Avatar 2 will not take place completely underwater in the oceans of Pandora. Here’s what the producer had to say: Jon Landau also said that Avatar 2 will pick up right where Avatar left off: “Water will be a part of the movie, but it won’t be all of the movie. There’s been a lot of rumors that it’s an underwater movie - it’s not....
