Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is a film that famously divides opinions and loyalties. But even the most contrarian Corellian has to admit that the film’s main villain, Darth Maul , was a highlight.  Now, the devil-horned Sith Lord is the star of his very own fan-made short film. Serving as a sort of mini-prequel to Episode I, Darth Maul: Apprentice is a 17-minute film written and directed by German film student Shawn Bu. There’s not a great deal of story here – the basic plot could be summed up with the word “lightsabers”. But damn, if it isn’t pretty. Boasting the sort of production values that fan films rarely offer, we see Maul’s famous double-sided lightsaber slice its way through Jedi like a knife through Force-sensitive butter. There’s even a decent stab at a Palpatine impression. As with any fan film, it is emphatically unofficial and non-canon; it remains to be seen whether the legal chin-scratchers at Disney and LucasFilm will let this one lie. But with n

Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past , director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE . Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

We're facing a slightly longer wait for new Game Of Thrones this year  but the series returns in late April with its six season. And to give you a taste, here's a red band trailer to tease and taunt you. As the narrative forges on in unexpected ways, pushing ahead of George R.R. Martin's books, we're all in unexplored territory, and readers are almost as much in the dark as viewers who have only seen the show. From the looks of this, Kit Harington's Jon Snow still appears to be very much among the dead, but it's not exactly a picnic for any of the characters. And what else can we expect? Well, Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Cersei (Lena Headey) appear ready to exact some vengeance on those who have wronged them, and are facing down the Faith Militant. Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) has been continuing to lean the ways of the warg, Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) is in another tricky situation, and without her dragons to hand (though they are still arou

Here is the newest trailer for HARDCORE HENRY - a groundbreaking, visceral ride that puts YOU the audience in the role of Henry, experiencing the action from a first-person perspective. HARDCORE HENRY is a Headliner at the 2016 SXSW Film Festival and will open in theaters nationwide on April 8. Strap in. Hardcore Henry is one of the most unflinchingly original wild-rides to hit the big screen in a long time: You remember nothing. Mainly because you've just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett). She tells you that your name is Henry. Five minutes later, you are being shot at, your wife has been kidnapped, and you should probably go get her back. Who's got her? His name's Akan (Danila Kozlovsky); he's a powerful warlord with an army of mercenaries, and a plan for world domination. You're also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, and everyone wants you dead. Everyone except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy (Sharlto Copley.) He m
