First Images From Quentin Tarantino’s THE HATEFUL EIGHT

EW has delivered us with new images of the characters you’ll see in Quentin Tarantino’s THE HATEFUL EIGHT . Set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, the story begins as a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth ( Russell ) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue ( Leigh ), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. See all the images after the Jump... Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren ( Jackson ), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix ( Goggins ), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces – Bob ( Bichir

The Three Stooges Will Get a Sequel, Apparently.

Get ready for the Second Nyuking. By Brandon Wolfe The Farrelly Brothers’ 2012 decade-in-the-making passion project The Three Stooges , a contemporary updating of the misadventures of nitwits Larry, Moe and Curly, didn’t exactly set the world on fire. It turned a very modest profit, and contained an uncanny performance by Chris Diamantopoulos as Moe, but didn’t inspire much enthusiasm otherwise. Still, it’s a recognizable brand name, and in this day and age that means it must be plundered and strip-mined as is customary for anything from the past that people have heard of. Ergo, we are now getting a Stooges sequel, with Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes and Will Sasso reprising their roles. The returning cast will be joined by “a major action star.” Because it’s a sequel to a movie that he wasn’t in, let’s put some money on The Rock. No word on if the Farrellys will have any involvement in the sequel, but Cameron Fay has been hired to write the script. Discuss this story with f

Movie Review: 'Hot Pursuit'

The female roadtrip comedy Hot Pursuit is a shoddy, hot mess. Review by Matt Cummings In Director Anne Fletcher's Hot Pursuit , the uptight Texas cop Cooper (Reese Witherspoon) tries to protect the wife of a Mexican drug lord (Sofia Vergara) after her to-be-snitch-husband buys it in a shootout. Cooper is by-the-book, instantly clashing with Daniella Riva's wall-to-wall shoe fetish and ignorance of the dangers she's under. Cooper brings along her own baggage as well, suffering from an embarrassing incident that's left her desk-ridden. Before Cooper and Riva can arrive in Dallas, they must go on the roadtrip from hell, dodging dirty cops, senior citizens, and a fierce drug lord who Riva blames for the death of her husband. From the moment Fletcher's film begins, we know exactly where this low-brow comedy will go. There's a transvestite in the back of a cop car, to a supposedly funny tasing of a college student that sets him on fire, each of which

Two More Characters Join 'Captain America: Civil War'

Learn below which two Marvel heroes will be joining the superhero beatdown! Story by Matt Cummings It's becoming clear that Marvel's kickoff to Phase 3 - Captain America: Civil War - doesn't only feature The Star-Spangled Man, but will be host to a growing number of characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Over the past few months, we've learned that Hawkeye , Black Widow , and Falcon will join Cap and Iron Man as they battle over the Superhuman Registration Act. Yesterday saw actor Martin Freeman sign on to play an unknown role . That list got a little bigger today, when it was announced that both Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and Black Panther (Chadwick Bozeman) will also appear. The film will mark Bozeman's first as Black Panther, while Rudd's Ant-Man will enjoy a second appearance. The movie will apparently only follow a limited amount of the original comic plot, where an international incident forces both Cap and Iron Man to choose sides reg

#Nintendo Characters To Invade Universal Parks

Nintendo , which has spent much of 2015 expanding beyond its traditional video game roots, has partnered with Universal Parks and Resorts to bring Mario, Donkey Kong and the rest of the company’s extensive collection of characters to the parks in the form of Nintendo-themed rides and character appearances. While the companies declined to discuss specific details of the arrangement, many well-known Nintendo games lend themselves to theme park attractions. It doesn’t take too much imagination, for instance, to envision a ride based on “Mario Kart” or the space action series “Star Fox.” This is a first of its kind deal for Nintendo, which previously has been extraordinarily protective of its IP. As the Wii U console has struggled against the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, though, the company has been aggressively exploring other ways to capitalize on its holdings. Two months ago, Nintendo announced a partnership with Japanese mobile giant DeNA to bring games featuring its characters t

One of the movies I grew up on is finally making it's way to Blu-ray THRASHIN’.

No sooner has he arrived in Los Angeles to compete in a downhill skating competition, Corey Webster ( Josh Brolin , No Country For Old Men, The Goonies) finds himself falling for Chrissy ( Pamela Gidley , Liebestraum), a beautiful blonde with close connections to the skating scene. It turns out Chrissy’s brother is Tommy Hook ( Robert Rusler , Weird Science), the tough-as-nails leader of The Daggers who has his sights set on the skateboard competition prize. Starring: JOSH BROLIN (No Country For Old Men, The Goonies, Inherent Vice) ROBERT RUSLER (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, Vamp, Weird Science) PAMELA GIDLEY (Liebestraum, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, The Little Vampire) SHERILYN FENN (TV’s Twin Peaks, Of Mice and

Disney's #Zootopia Voice Cast Announced

Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman Head to “ Zootopia ” Walt Disney Animation Studios welcomes Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman to “Zootopia,” Disney’s 2016 animated feature set in a modern mammal metropolis. Goodwin (ABC’s “Once Upon a Time,” “Something Borrowed,” “Walk the Line”) will lend her voice to an optimistic bunny named Judy Hopps who’s new to Zootopia’s police department. Jason Bateman (“Horrible Bosses 2,” “This is Where I Leave You”) voices the scamming fox, Nick Wilde, who Judy reluctantly teams up with to crack her first case. “We knew that ‘Zootopia’ would only succeed if we found the perfect actors to play our main characters,” said director Byron Howard (“Tangled,” “Bolt”). “This rabbit- and fox-duo are in practically every scene in the film together. After meeting Ginnifer, we knew she embodied Hopps, the ultimate pure-of-heart, idealist bunny. You fall in love with her character instantly. And for Nick Wilde, our cynical con-artist fox, we only ever had on

Beverly Hills Cop 4 Put On The Shelf

Announced at the end of 2013, word on the developing Beverly Hills Cop 4 has been notably scarce in the months since. So it's perhaps no surprise that the Axel Foley fourquel has been pulled from the release schedules for the time being. It won't now arrive on March 25, 2016, although Eddie Murphy and Brett Ratner remain attached, respectively, to star and direct when and if the project eventually moves forward. Industry suspicions had already been aroused when Paramount moved its big-hitter Monster Trucks to a March, 2016 release date. But while it sounds bad, Foley may also be dodging a bullet, since he won't now share his comeback slot with Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice . That's a fight he was never going to win. Beverly Hills Cop 4 was one of the earliest announced projects to come from Jerry Bruckheimer's exit from Disney and return to his former home at Paramount. Following an abandoned attempt at a TV series (with which Bruckheimer had no involve

Here Are The Candidates to Direct The New Spider-Man

Not a lot of winners caught in this web. By Brandon Wolfe The search for yet another Peter Parker is narrowing down for the Sony/Marvel reboot of Spider-Man and now the hunt for a new director has turned up a shortlist of candidates, according to Deadline . Reportedly, the pool that is being looked at includes Jonathan Levine ( 50/50 , Warm Bodies ), Ted Melfi ( St. Vincent ), Jason Moore ( Pitch Perfect ), John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein (the upcoming Vacation ) and Jared Hess ( Napoleon Dynamite ). For those among us who groaned at Sony’s previous Spidey choice of Mark Webb, who only had the fizzily slight rom-com (500) Days of Summer under his belt before being handed the job, this list of similarly untested directors of lightweight comedies doesn’t inspire much in the way of enthusiasm. Perhaps a Spider-Man film doesn’t need a heavy-hitter director, but someone with some degree of experience with action and visual effects would seem optimal. Conspicuo
