There's a great-looking new anthology series coming to AMC from producer Ridley Scott called The Terror. We have the first trailer for you to watch today and it looks awesomely impressive. The teaser definitely got me excited to watch this thing! It looks like it's going to be a high-quality series that audiences will get sucked into.
Inspired by a true story, The Terror centers on the Royal Navy’s perilous voyage into unchartered territory as the crew attempts to discover the Northwest Passage. Faced with treacherous conditions, limited resources, dwindling hope and fear of the unknown, the crew is pushed to the brink of extinction. Frozen, isolated and stuck at the end of the earth, The Terror highlights all that can go wrong when a group of men, desperate to survive, struggle not only with the elements, but with each other.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom isn't coming to theaters until June 2018, but this week the trailer dropped online along with a brief description of the plot. Even though 2015's Jurassic World teased a future storyline about dinosaurs being used as weapons by the army, they decided to go in a very different direction for this new one. It involves Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard returning to Isla Nublar to save the dinosaurs from a volcanic eruption. You'd think they'd welcome the chance to rid the world of these vicious creatures,...

The hotly anticipated sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is bringing back one of the franchise's most-beloved characters.
In a newly-released featurette – which drops quite a few tantalizing hints and exciting teases regarding the upcoming dino-fighting epic – fans get a sneak peek at the return of Jeff Goldblum's iconic scientist-turned-reluctant adventurer, Ian Malcolm.
While the glimpse at Goldblum is brief, it's endlessly exciting for fans of the original Jurassic Park and its sequel, who have been dying to see the celebrated character come back to the franchise.
The good doctor has clearly aged well and matured since we last saw him chasing a T-Rex through the streets of San Diego in the action-packed 1997 Jurassic Park sequel, The Lost World. He's traded in his black leather jacket for a crisp black suit, and he's grown out his salt-and-pepper beard, giving him the look of a distinguished professor.

Only two days remain on the great Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Trailer Countdown, and don’t we know all about it.
All this week, a number of enticing trailer teases have trickled onto the interwebs to reveal a sleeping, prehistoric giant (“this is going to be awesome!”) along with the small matter that Isla Nublar is, in fact, a dormant volcano – you know, assuming Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) haven’t hopped over to one of the neighboring islands.
But as Thursday’s big reveal draws near, Universal has now unleashed the third trailer tease in which Chris Pratt’s dino expert gets a little too close for comfort. Dubbed Rexy (or Rexie), this is presumably the same Tyrannosaurus Rex that galloped in to save the day during the finale of Jurassic World, so we only imagine what director Juan Antonio Bayona has planned for the franchise mascot.

Universal Pictures has released a little promo spot for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom teasing the full trailer, which is set to drop on Thursday December 7th. The promo is called "Run" and it gives us a brief but intense look at Chris Pratt's Owen Grady running from a horde of dinosaurs and an erupting volcano trying to get Bryce Dallas Howard's Claire Dearing and another character to safety.
Judging by by the gyroscope seen in the promo, it looks like these two characters will return to the same island that the first Jurassic World took place at, Isla Nublar.
Producer Colin Trevorrow previously described the sequel as being a “deeper, more character-based" film and that "it definitely leans into suspense." He also said that there will be a big insane action sequence in the middle of the film.

From the football field to the film lots, Bernie Casey left an indelible impression with a presence that couldn't be ignored, and we're sad to share the news that the actor has passed away at the age of 78.
According to multiple outlets, including THR, Casey passed away after a "brief illness" at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Before he entered the world of movies, Casey was a star in his own right as a track and field standout at Bowling Green State University. After making it to the finals of the 1960 United States Olympic Trials, Casey was a first round draft pick for the San Francisco 49ers and would go on to play eight years in the NFL as a wide receiver, raking in 40 touchdowns and over 5,000 receiving yards.

As you know, Universal Pictures is completely rebooting their classic Universal monster films and they are calling it the Dark Universe. We've already known that the vampire hunter Van Helsing is going to be a part of their big plans, and now they have a big actor that they hope to get on board. According to THR, That actor is Channing Tatum.
Tom Cruise was originally in talks to play Van Helsing before he was cast in The Mummy, which didn't do as well as the studio hoped it would. Regardless of it underperforming, the studio is going to press forward with their Dark Universe plans. Hopefully, the next movie, The Bride of Frankenstein, will be better.
I'd actually be ok with Tatum in the role of a young Van Helsing. The fact that they want him, gives us a little insight into the direction the studio wants to go with the character.

There’s still so much we don’t know about director J. A. Bayona’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. One of the things I’m most excited about, though, is the return of Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm. The tagline for the film is even one of his lines from the original movie, “Life Finds a Way.”
Today we have a collection of cool photos from the set of the film for you to check out. They come from the Instagram account jurassic_world2018 and they feature some pretty cool stuff that I think fans will like... if they choose to look at them.

Last week, the Dark Universe unveiled itself. This cinematic universe the powers that be over at Universal are hoping to launch began with a reboot of The Mummy. Partly a Tom Cruise vehicle and partly a modern monster movie, this summer blockbuster had a lot riding on it. By all accounts, the plan is to have a series of these things, leading up to potentially an Avengers style team up. Well, the beginning could have gone better for the Dark Universe, but there’s still hope. We’ll talk about that in a bit, but also, let us briefly discuss The Mummy itself, which is a definite outlier on Cruise’s resume. Read on for more on the film and the universe it’s set to launch. This cinematic universe began on Friday with The Mummy. That film centers on the chaos that ensues when an ancient princess named Ahmanet...

Shared universes are all the rage these days. Marvel started the trend almost a decade ago and each major studio now seems eager to establish their own. While Marvel has perfected the formula in which you focus on a specific character’s story first and then slowly introduce them into a larger universe, this is an element that other studios have chosen to ignore. Warner Bros. couldn’t wait to get their Justice League film together so after Man of Steel, they rushed into Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice which was a huge critical misfire. Suicide Squad was another hot mess, and while Wonder Woman is undeniably great, one must wonder (pun somewhat intended) if it was so well received because it focused on a single character and her arc. Now we have established her and she will most likely be one of the highlights of this year’s Justice League,...

The Mummy seemed like a cash grab from the moment it was announced. Universal has been trying to launch a universe of their own, featuring classic movie monsters associated with the studio, including Frankenstein, the Wolfman, and the Invisible Man, for years. The Mummy is essentially the studio going "all in" to jump start what is now called Dark Universe. Casting a star as large as Tom Cruise initially read as an attempt to make up for shortcomings in other areas. When you don't have much else, attach the biggest movie star in the world, and your film will sell (maybe)! Additionally, though the first movie came out in 1999, the Brendan Fraser lead Mummy franchise is still fresh enough in the public's mind that starting a new universe with The Mummy seemed like a strange choice. So, is The Mummy just another ill-advised attempt to launch a universe, cashing in...

When Russell Crowe is involved, it's obvious we're in for something epic. The Academy Award-winning actor takes on the role of Dr. Henry Jekyll in The Mummy, in which he lends aid to protagonist Nick Morton, portrayed by Tom Cruise. If Crowe's past roles are any indication, The Mummy is set to not only be one of the biggest movies of the year, but another captivating action film to add to the Russell Crowe canon. Crowe's filmography, spanning nearly three decades, includes blockbusters like Gladiator, for which he won an Oscar for Best Actor, a thought-provoking true story in A Beautiful Mind and even Crowe's singing of some of the most iconic Broadway songs in Les Misérables.

Chiller introduced me to all the Universal classics – Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman and, of course, Karloff’s 1932 addition, The Mummy. Universal’s new re-imagining of their beloved classic isn’t that Mummy, not by a long shot– but we’re in a different time and a different world, so why not?
This new Mummy stars Tom Cruise as Nick Morton, an Army commando/antiquities raider who finds and sells priceless relics on the black market. He’s stolen a map from a lovely, combative British archaeologist (Annabelle Wallis) that leads him to modern day, ultra dangerous Iraq. After he and his Army bro (Jake Johnson) call in an airstrike to save them from insurgents, a missile blast reveals the hidden tomb of Ahmanet, an Egyptian Princess who murdered her...

“Utterly devoid of soul,” Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe) notifies protagonist Nick Morton (Tom Cruise) as to what will become of the person that the titular creature has cursed. Soulless is also an applicable description for The Mummy, the inaugural entry of Universal’s Dark Universe, though not due to inactivity – noises and effects are bounteous here – but rather the inability to offer a straight answer for “What kind of film are you?”
Prior to meeting the doctor, which is at the halfway point, The Mummy exerts a firm hold on “adventure with horror.” After a chilling sequence detailing how the jealousy of one Princess Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella) leads her to a wrapped demise (and the first occasion where the Algerian actress exhibits her scene-stealing ability), the film switches to thoroughly cheeky antiquities retriever Nick and his gratingly over-cautious pal, Chris Vail (Jake Johnson), eyeing a treasure cache in the...

I’ll be the first to admit I was rather skeptical going into Alex Kurtzman’s The Mummy, as the trailers seemed to be far more focused on the action instead of the horror to the story. But thankfully, my fears about the direction this new Mummy would take were quickly quelled about 25 minutes into the film, when I realized that this brand new Dark Universe that Universal is set to unleash was starting off on the right foot, because I was having a helluva fun time and was completely immersed in this world.
And while there was a lot of action to be found (I mean, it’s a Tom Cruise movie, and honestly, no one goes for the cinematic gusto quite the way he does), it’s apparent early on that Kurtzman wasn’t screwing around when it came to the horror aspects of The Mummy, making this...

Director Alex Kurtzman accepts the daunting task of kickstarting Universal’s “Dark Universe” with The Mummy, and holy hexes, first impressions are not favorable. Wonky structuring and general tone mishandling never unearth a confident vision. Be it Tom Cruise’s obsession with Annabelle Wallis’ “15-second-man” comment or Sofia Boutella’s male-gaze-y mummification, reboot aesthetics gamble lax horror representation on a losing hand. Generic jumps, blurry action – at least dialogue peppers in the words “dark” and “monster” a whole bunch! You know, because we require needless reminders that the movie is “dark,” and there sure are more “monsters” on the horizon (Frankenstein, Invisible Man, Phantom of the Opera, etc.). Expect the “blackened” mainstream thrillification that genre fans so dreadfully feared – frantic yet bland, heavy CGI and one woefully mistold tale.

The Mummy franchise was first kickstarted back in 1932 with Boris Karloff, only to then be reignited in the 90s, is a cinematic stomping ground that thrives in its elusive nature, with an Indiana Jones-like approach, setting our protagonists on a path of mystery; puzzle breaking, finding clues and overcoming riddles. Rebooted (again) with Alex Kurtzman now at the helm, instead the film takes on the form of a rather more generic, survival horror flick. As the first film in the new Universal Monster Universe, it’s also left with the burden of world building, and while necessary in parts, this responsibility also drags the film down, transpiring in a tedious, disengaging production.
Tom Cruise plays Nick Morton – an opportunist soldier-cum-thief who, alongside his trusty, if somewhat apprehensive sidekick Chris Vail (Jake Johnson), stumbles across an ancient Egyptian tomb while serving in the Middle East. Calling upon the...

It feels appropriate, if not a bit on the nose, to kick off a summer teeming with remakes and reboots and cinematic universe-expanding episodes with a movie that is all the above. The Mummy, which is both a reboot of the 1932 The Mummy starring Boris Karloff and the 1999 franchise starring Brendan Fraser, is also the first installment in the soon-to-be expansive Dark Universe. (The movie universe that will bring together Dracula and Frankenstein and the Creature from the Black Lagoon.)
This retelling of a retelling begins with a prologue that sheds light upon one of history's so-called "darkest secrets." Ahmanet (Kingsman: The Secret Service's Sofia Boutella) is the sole successor to the throne, until her father, the Pharaoh, produces a male heir. Realizing, as we are told, "power is not given, it's taken," Princess Ahmanet makes a pact with the god of death and commits a monstrous crime, for which she is mummified alive.

What made Tom Cruise a movie star? It wasn’t his toothy smile or his all-American dimples. It wasn’t that he was cocky enough to be loved, but also vulnerable enough to be lovable, although that certainly helped. It wasn’t even the fact that the way he runs on screen tells us more about the fundamental nature of cinema than anyone has conveyed with a stride since Eadweard Muybridge trained his camera on a galloping horse. No, Tom Cruise became a movie star because he possessed something that galvanized all of those individual qualities into something special — a need for quality control.
Just consider those credits: “Risky Business.” “Top Gun.” “Born on the Fourth of July.” Cruise was a human seal of freshness decades before today’s Hollywood A-listers needed Rotten Tomatoes to validate their work. If “Cocktail” was the worst movie an actor made in the first decade of their career,...

Why We're Obsessed With 'Cosby Unraveled' Podcast
A firestorm of controversy surrounds comedian Bill Cosby after multiple allegations have surfaced accusing him of sexual misconduct, with alleged incidents dating as far back as 1969. As opening statements in his sexual assault trial are set to begin today, a Philadelphia radio station, Whyy, has produced a new podcast, Cosby Unraveled, exploring "the heights of his influence, and the causes of his downfall." The podcast, hosted by Annette John-Hall, will make the case that America's once-beloved TV dad is still a quintessential part of Philadelphia (Cosby's hometown), despite his legal woes. New episodes will be produced in real time as the trial progresses. Listen to the three-minute podcast trailer here.

Princess Ahmanet unleashes a pent-up rage two millennia in the making in the latest and downright spooky batch of clips for The Mummy, Universal and Alex Kurtzman’s budding reboot that’s poised to get the ball rolling on the studio’s wildly ambitious Dark Universe next week.
Pegged for theatrical release on June 9th, this particular incarnation of The Mummy places Kingsman: The Secret Service breakout Sofia Boutella in the title role. Robbed of her rightful destiny eons ago, Ahmanet was thought to be safely entombed under the sands of the Middle East – that is, until Tom Cruise’s military man Nick Morton uncovers her resting place years after the fact. It’s a historic discovery for all of humanity, but as Cruise, Jenny Halsey (Annabelle Wallis), Sgt. Vail (Jake Johnson), Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe) and the team of Prodigium quickly begin to realize, the Mummy’s sheer power and animosity defy belief.

For several months, we’ve known that Universal has been hard at work crafting a unique universe of their own. While Marvel and DC have decades of history to pull from comics, Universal has rights to very specific interpretations of some classic monsters that include Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, the Invisible Man, and countless others. This world is set to be kicked off next month with Tom Cruise’s The Mummy, and if all goes well, this could be the beginnings of a long-running and thriving franchise.
But what is the official name of said universe? MonsterVerse seemed like a solid name, but sadly the folks over at Warner Bros. and Legendary nabbed that name for their Godzilla/King Kong universe. Universal Monsters Universe sounds dumb and redundant, so it seemed unlikely they’d go with that. Thanks to a new announcement from Universal, we now have a name to put to this world…...

With The Mummy quickly approaching, Universal is starting to get plans in order for their shared cinematic universe which is set to feature all of the studio’s classic monsters. That includes the Invisible Man, Frankenstein, Dr. Henry Jekyll, the Mummy and more. They’ve tried to get this project off the ground for a while now, most recently with the failed Dracula Untold, but it looks like they’re really going to do it this time as they’ve just made the whole thing official.

Aaron Hernandez‘s fiancée believes the disgraced NFL star did not kill himself in his prison cell, despite authorities’ determination otherwise, she said this week.
“I don’t think this was a suicide,” Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez said in an interview with Dr. Phil McGraw that aired Monday on the Dr. Phil show.
When he was found dead on April 19, Hernandez, 27, was serving a life sentence for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd, and his appeal was still in its early stages. He had recently been acquitted of double-murder charges in the 2012 shooting deaths of two men outside a Boston nightclub.

Not counting a very elderly T. rex, Mr. DNA, and some night vision goggles, the only real character from the original Jurassic Park to pop up in Colin Trevorrow’s sequel/reboot Jurassic World was B.D. Wong’s Dr. Henry Wu. That’s going to change for Jurassic World 2, though, with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that Jeff Goldblum’s Dr. Ian Malcolm will be making a very ill-advised return to the world of dinosaur-filled theme parks. Goldblum’s character last appeared in 1997’s The Lost World, and though we don’t know anything about what he’ll be doing in Jurassic World 2, he’ll probably have something to say about chaos theory, his distaste for dinosaur droppings, and the fact that life, uh, finds a way.

Tom Cruise toes the line between life and death in the latest, downright spooky TV spot for Universal’s reboot of The Mummy.
Coming to us by way of the film’s Twitter account (via Cbm), the all-too-brief promo doubles down on Nick Morton’s (Cruise) close brush with death. In fact, after his military plane goes down in spectacular fashion, Tom Cruise’s lead wakes up in the morgue, and it seems he’s developed an inexplicable connection to the long-lost Princess Ahmanet. After eons spent buried underground, and one crude awakening later, Sofia Boutella’s deity prepares to unleash her wrath upon the unsuspecting masses, and it’s up to Jenny Halsey (Annabelle Wallis), Sgt. Vail (Jake Johnson), Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe) and the team of Prodigium to confront that ancient evil head on.

Universal's rebooted monster movie series will soon kick off with The Mummy, starring Tom Cruise. The advance trailer certainly promises an action-filled, possibly scary good time. The presence of Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe) suggests how the groundwork might be laid for a connected series of monster movies, though many questions remain. Producer Chris Morgan, best known for writing six of the eight installments of the Fast and Furious series, including The Fate of the Furious, was placed in charge of plans for the series back in June 2014, alongside fellow writer/producer Alex Kurtzman, who directed The Mummy. Recently Morgan sat down with Collider and updated plans for the series. Here are excerpts from that conversation. Why will modern audiences be...
