This Japanese Godzilla-Themed Hotel Is Pretty Sweet

If hotels aren't generally terrifying enough for you, don't worry, we've got what you're looking for. You won't get murdered by a guy in a dress like at the Bates Motel (probably not anyway), but you might just get stepped on by the King of the Monsters if you spend the night at this Godzilla-themed hotel in Japan. The Hotel Gracery in the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo is definitely the kind of place you want to stay if you lament the fact that there's not a skyscraper-tall, radioactive lizard constantly peering into your hotel room as you sip your morning ...

The Female Ghostbusters Movie Will Focus Mainly On One Character

The upcoming all-female reboot film of Ghostbusters seems to have a segment of the potential moviegoing audience vexed by the very idea of its gender-swapping reconceptualization. Perceptions, however, are not currently based on the film's plot, since next to nothing has been revealed. However, in a recent interview, director, Paul Feig seems to have divulged a key concept in the dynamic of the film's team of estrogen-centric seekers of spooks, revealing that Kriten Wiig's character who will be the protagonist whose eyes we see the story unfold through.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Has Big Long-Term Plans

Even before Guardians of the Galaxy dominated the box office and received near-universal acclaim, Marvel knew that the ragtag group of aliens had a long future in store in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Days before the first film was released in the U.S., the studio announced that Guardians of the Galaxy 2 was in development and gave it an official release date. Now it looks like the long-term plans for the space franchise extend past just a second installment.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paxton is in line to play Jack Thompson. A Miami lawyer, Thompson came into the public eye by frequently blasting Grand Theft Auto, creator Rockstar Games, and video game violence in general.

What Marvel's Spider-Man Movie Learned From Batman Begins

One of the results of Marvel and Sony partnering together on Spider-Man is that the Wall-Crawler's film series will be rebooted...again. With the Amazing Spider-Man series tossed aside, the MCU Spider-Man reportedly will debut in Captain America: Civil War before headlining his own movie in 2017. This will be the third live-action incarnation of the character on the big screen, which means that Marvel and Sony have their work cut out for giving fans and general moviegoers something new. That's why they're looking to Batman Begins for inspiration on Peter Parker's future. In an interview with IGN, Marvel Studios President ...

Why A White Tiger Lily Works, According To Rooney Mara

For the record, Rooney Mara didn't initially believe she could play Tiger Lily in a Peter Pan movie, either. Shortly after it was announced that the star of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo would play Tiger Lily for director Joe Wright in a Peter Pan prequel, internet outrage (whether real or imagined) erupted on the usual chats and forums. There was even a petition to get Mara replaced. The actress understood... until she met with Wright and learned about his vision. "I feel like there really hasn't been a proper interpretation of the character," Mara told us when we ...

What Are The Chances That Epic Dennis Quaid Freakout Is Real?

Movie sets can be tense places full of heightened emotions and raw nerves, so it's not uncommon for actors and other players to freak the hell from time to time.

7 Important Things You Need To Know About Pan

Hugh Jackman is dangling from a wire, floating roughly 35 feet over a full-scale model of a majestic pirate ship. Down below, diabolical sea-dwellers engage in an animated fistfight, and Jackman – dressed to the teeth as the pirate Blackbeard – descends over and over again into the fray.

The Incredibles Director Has Some Surprising Thoughts On Modern Superhero Movies

Brad Bird has slightly nibbled the hand that fed him by criticizing just how popular the superhero genre has become. The Incredibles director believes that the sheer amount of superhero movies out there right now means that the market has become very saturated; so much so that there's not a lot of room left for a filmmaker to leave their artistic imprint. Bird made his comments during his discussion with Little White Lies after being probed about his script for The Incredibles 2. First noting that he has no interest in coasting off the success of the first film, he then ...

No Way Deadpool Will Top This Incredible Poster

Despite its R-rating, director Tim Miller's Deadpool should really be a lot like a cartoon. At his core, what makes the titular character so delightful is how ridiculous and silly he can be at times, regularly talking to the audience like a deadly mercenary version of Bugs Bunny. Only time will tell if the feature takes that route, but that tone is definitely present in this Ryan Reynolds-approved fan art: There should be an award for fan art. http://ift.tt/1GF103L Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) April 12, 2015 It's probably going to be a while until we actually get to see ...

What Exactly Is John Connor In Terminator: Genisys?

The release of a brand-spanking new trailer for Terminator: Genisys earlier today completely rejigged what we can expect from the blockbuster, especially when it comes to former franchise hero John Connor. That's because the new version of the character isn't quite as heroic as we all probably expected him to be - and now Jason Clarke has confirmed that he's part machine, part human, and that this movie's version of the resistance fighter is free in all the ways that previous incarnations have not been. Jason Clarke, who will be portraying John Connor in Terminator: Genisys, sat down to speak ...
