The Hobbit Trailer, If The Franchise Was Condensed Into One Movie

The Hobbit was never planned as just one movie. Even in the years before the adaptation became a trilogy the plan was always to have the story unfold in at least two parts. But what if that wasn't the case, and Peter Jackson went for brevity instead of a broad scope? The trailer for that epic production might have looked something like this: With The Hobbit trilogy soon coming to a close with the release of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, YouTube user Joel Walden has cut together an extended trailer that gives us the sense of ...

The coming sequel, however, will allow the new live-action series to provide screentime for even more in-universe characters - and apparently there are big plans to do exactly that. With Earth To Echo director David Green now attached to helm Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 and the project moving forward, Platinum Dunes producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form ...

That puts it just a couple of million short of the second and third highest grossing movies of the year, Captain America: The ...

Why Josh Brolin Is Terrified Of Shooting His Thanos Scenes

As Thanos, Josh Brolin is playing one of the scariest, most intimidating figures in the Marvel Universe. Even more than the fact that he is humungous physically and possesses incredible influence throughout the galaxy, the Mad Titan also eventually possess powers that give him the ability of a god. He inspires quite a good deal of fear wherever he goes – and weirdly enough that even extends to Josh Brolin, who has revealed that playing Thanos is one of the most nerve-wracking experiences he's had in years. Earlier today, I participated in a roundtable interview with Brolin (who is currently out ...
