Louis CK And Kevin Hart's Animated Comedy Has An Incredible Cast

It used to be that actors did animated films because that was the only work they were typically hired for. All of that changed once Robin Williams let the proverbial genie out of the bottle with his performance in Disney's classic Aladdin, and nowadays animated films are normally stuffed with heavyweight Hollywood names. In the case of The Secret Life Of Pets, Louis CK and Kevin Hart are the anchors, and they've got some interesting back up checking off all of the other boxes. Courtesy of a report from The Hollywood Reporter, we learned that the recently rescheduled Universal Studios ...

10 Marvel Side Characters Who May Get Way More Important

Just because a character doesn’t lead their own story doesn’t mean they aren't significant to the action. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many of the supporting allies and enemies have their own purpose, and sometimes grow more important as time goes on. Case in point, Brock Rumlow, a.k.a. Crossbones. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, he served as the leader of the S.T.R.I.K.E. unit that was secretly working for HYDRA. Having survived his injuries, he will return in Captain America: Civil War and reportedly be the one who ...

Pee-wee's Big Holiday Adds Jessica Pohly As Badass Role

We're pretty excited around these parts for Netflix's upcoming movie Pee-wee's Big Holiday, which sees Paul Reubens return to his beloved alter ego. The cast has been coming together, and now they've added Jessica Pohly in a potentially badass role. According to Variety, Pohly will make her feature film debut in Pee-wee's Big Holiday playing the leader of a gang of bank robbers, which is awesome because that means Reubens' ridiculous little man child is going to come into contact with a gang of bank robbers. We've seen him run afoul of bikers before, knocking over their precious motorcycles, so ...

Chalk Up Another Win For Those Adorable Minions

There are all kinds of things that illustrate how big a cultural impact a movie has. Maybe dialogue weaves its way into our collective lexicon, perhaps The Simpsons spoofs a film in an episode, maybe it gets a porn parody. Now the Despicable Me movies have found a unique lasting imprint, as the mischievous Minions have inspired their very own color of paint. You may look at the naughty little buggers and think, "They look yellow," but now and forever more, that precise shade will be known as "Minion Yellow," according to the Pantone Color Institute. This particular hue is ...

Wonder Woman's Batman v Superman Suit Is A Lot More Colorful Than We Thought

When we got our first look at Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice last summer at San Diego Comic-Con, the costume appeared to be largely shades of just one color: bronze. Well, now new evidence has popped online suggesting that the outfit is actually quite a bit more colorful than we were originally led to believe: This image is a screencap from a video released by Bleacher Report, which recently followed Los Angeles Clippers center and Batman fan DeAndre Jordan around as he visited an exhibit showing off some very cool stuff from Zack Snyder's ...

Warner Bros. confirmed that The LEGO Movie 2 will now and forever be known as The LEGO Movie Sequel.

Good Will Hunting's Original Script Contained A Pretty Aggressive Gay Sex Scene

It’s no secret that some of our favorite movie classics looked drastically different in the early stages, but would anyone have guessed that a pretty intense gay sex scene figured into the original draft of Good Will Hunting?

Aaron Taylor-Johnson Made 2 Changes To Quicksilver In Avengers 2

We know Quicksilver moves fast. You can't do the classic Marvel superhero on screen without showing his blur-fast speed (a characteristic brought to life in both X-Men: Days of Future Past and, now, The Avengers: Age of Ultron). But does Quicksilver ever slow down? Does he get winded? Basically, does he ever let us see him sweat? He does in Joss Whedon's upcoming Marvel superhero blockbuster, and it's a very funny character touch that I couldn't wait to talk to Aaron Taylor-Johnson about during the recent Avengers press day. Taylor-Johnson has the distinction of being one of the newcomers to ...

Tron 3 Will Explore What Happens When Olivia Wilde Enters The Real World

When it was announced a few weeks back that Tron Legacy stars Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hedlund would be reprising their roles in an upcoming sequel to that 2010 franchise revival, it was rather surprising for several reasons; notably, the film's less-than-stellar performance. Yet, for the film's co-star, Wilde, the delays that mired this film may have proven fortuitous when it came to finding a good story. In a recent interview, the actress discusses what's in store for her character, Quorra. Sitting down with Collider at the Tribeca Film Festival, Olivia Wilde addressed her return to the Tron franchise, promising an ...

Additionally, this high-octane accolade also comes with another achievement, since it has distinguished itself as the quickest film to have ever accomplished this feat, only having been released a bit over two weeks ago.
