Read on to see what's going down in Gotham this week Gotham “Rogues' Gallery” Review by Brandon Wolfe It would appear that Gotham didn’t make any resolutions for the New Year. The show kicks off 2015 still plodding along as tepidly as it did during its dismal fall run, the same key problems remaining intact. If the show is going to blossom into something worthwhile during its first season, perhaps it’s saving that for the spring, that time of the year when all that is withered begins to bloom. That or it will continue to die on the vine. It could go either way. Displaced from the GCPD for his unwavering straight-arrow crusading, Gordon has landed in a menial gig as a security guard at the newly reopened (yet still dilapidated) Arkham Asylum, overseeing lavish inmate talent shows, the likes of which are almost certainly commonplace at institutions for treating the criminally insane. But because Gordon watching incarcerated felons perform dinner theater would threa

New Into The Woods Featurette “Stage to Screen” “Into the Woods” is a modern twist on several beloved fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy), all tied together by an original story involving a Baker and his Wife (James Corden and Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the Witch (Meryl Streep), who has put a curse on them. Rob Marshall, the acclaimed filmmaker behind the Academy Award®-winning musical “Chicago” and Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” directs the film, which is based on the musical stage production by legendary eight-time Tony, Grammy® and Oscar-winning composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim and Tony® winner James Lap

Hide-and-seek turns deadly in eye-popping North Woods clip Macabre Pictures and Flowtac Entertainment have released an eye-popping new clip from North Woods, their forthcoming motion picture of unrelenting terror. In the 5-minute scene, a game of hide-and-seek turns deadly. North Woods stars scream queens Lynn Lowry (The Crazies) and Debbie Rochon (Tromeo and Juliet). The film is directed by Chris Moore, who co-wrote the script with Jason Kasper. They were inspired by Phantasm, The Evil Dead and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

While it has been picking up speed thanks to the casting of Channing Tatum in the lead, 20th Century Fox’s planned new Gambit spin-off film has now locked in a release date – for the States at least – pencilling in an October 7, 2016 slot. And that’s despite the film still lacking a confirmed director – presumably we can expect that announcement any day now. Few details have emerged about the film thus far, though Tatum has described how he sees the character: “Gambit was always like the woman-loving, cigarette-smoking, drinking guy. He was the punk rock of all the superheroes. He’s a thief. He kind of rode the line.” There is still talk he may actually first be seen in X-Men: Apocalypse , though it could just be a brief cameo. It’s just one of a batch of announcements from Fox about their upcoming slate, which also includes word that the third Planet Of The Apes film (to be directed by Dawn’s Matt Reeves) has switched places with the company’s second new Fantastic Four film.

The Lazarus Effect is about a group of medical students who experiment bringing dead matter back to life. Spoiler alert: One of the characters dies, of course, and they try the technique on her. “And it works. She comes back to life, but she comes back to life as not the woman that she was when she died.” Creepy. Blumhouse Productions’ upcoming sci-fi/horror flick The Lazarus Effect , which arrives in theaters Feb. 27. Those creative risks started with the director, David Gelb , known for his award-winning documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi —not the obvious choice. “But he had a great take on the material,” which Blum describes as “a really unique take on bringing someone back from the dead.” If the plot sounds familiar to you, then you’ve probably seen Flatliners (1990), starring Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, and Kiefer Sutherland. “All of us really liked that movie,” Blum says. “I feel like we’re tipping our hat to Flatliners, for sure, in this movie.” So if The Lazarus Effect

It has been infamous for its troubled development and the chaotic start to its shoot, but Natalie Portman and the Jane Got A Gun team will be hoping that 2015 is the year that the Western thriller puts its troubles behind it and stands on its own merits. The first imagery for the film is now online. The film’s story finds Natalie Portman as the titular homesteader, shocked to see her estranged outlaw hubby ( Noah Emmerich ) stagger home full of bullets after being double-crossed by his gang. With the criminals (led by Ewan McGregor ) on their way to finish the job, Jane decides to reach out to a sharp-shootin’ old flame ( Joel Edgerton ) for assistance in defending her home. See all the images after the Jump... This one has faced seemingly endless problems before and even during the shoot.
