Richard Attenborough has passed away at age 90.
Richard Attenborough will forever be That Dude in Jurassic Park to me, but I know that he had a wonderful, storied career. The Good Sir has passed away at the age of 90. Bummer deluxe.

David Yates is directing the ‘Harry Potter’ spinoff, ‘Fantastic Beasts’
David Yates is going to be helming the Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts. Which is great for fans of the series (and I consider myself one, tenuously), because Yates directed the fuck out of the second half of the movie series.
New Superman outfit from ‘Batman v Superman’ ain’t all f**king gloomy
Hey oh wow, Superman has a new, lighter costume.
I imagine the conversation that led to it went something like this.
Rumor: Scoot McNairy playing The Flash in ‘Batman v Superman.’
Scoot McNairy, like half of Hollywood, has been cast in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Slo-Motion Ruin Porn. Up until now we ain’t known who the actor has been playing, but new reports having him playing The Flash. What has set off this speculation, you ask? The dude is wearing green socks on set. Yeah I don’t know.
Kevin Smith making a teenage girls-starring superhero flick.
Kevin Smith is giving us what the Marvel Universe (and to be fair the DC Universe, and all the other sorts of Comic Book Universes) seem reluctant to do: a superhero flick starring women. Specifically, teenage women. Most specifically, Kevin Smith and Johnny Depp’s daughters. You read that right.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson *deciding* between playing Shazam and Black Adam
This is how you know The Rock is the Greatest Actor our generation. The motherfucker is deciding whether he wants to play either Shazam, or Black Adam. Dude is like “Let me think about it, I’ll get back to you.” Total power move, and I love it.
First Official Look: Paul Rudd as Scott Lang in ‘Ant-Man’
Ant-Man has been in production for one day. One day! But that hasn’t stopped the Powers That Be from issuing forth an official look at Paul Rudd. As if to say, “Hey, this movie is still happening!” And “Hey, Paul Rudd is still here!”
Marvel’s ‘Dr. Strange’ won’t be an origin story. Yeah. okay.
According to That Guy from Rad Azz Digest, Marvel’s Dr. Strange isn’t going to be an origin story. Which, whatever, okay? First off – so what. Second off – I have to say I think we’re going to be delving into the ontology of what constitutes an origin story. Like just because we aren’t going to see Stevey Strange sprouting pubes doesn’t mean that being introduced to him and his backstory isn’t an origin story. Am I making sense here? Bueller?
Stellan Skarsgård (Dr. Erik “Underpants” Selvig) returning for ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’
Stellan Skarsgård continues to assert his importance to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Dude held it down in Thor, sort of almost ruined the world in Avengers, and then ran around in his undies in Thor: The Dark World. Now he’s returning for Avengers: Age of Ultron. What’s he up to in the movie? Who knows. But I’m personally hoping he hangs dong.
‘Lego Movie’ dudes Phil Lord and Chris Miller working on pilot for CBS.
Between Lego Movie, and the Jump Street flicks, Phil Lord and Chris Miller can get it. From me! Right up against my pop-culture geek prostate. So this news is fucking radical. The two Dudes are working on a pilot for CBS (which I know ugh they’re the wasteland of non-comedy) with a mind from The Office.
