Steven Spielberg’s Robopocalypse has a release date and some studios

Posted 15 years ago

How epic will Steven Spielberg’s ROBOPOCALYPSE be? So epic that it can’t be contained (or at least financed) by a single studio. Dreamworks and Fox are teaming up for the big-budget mechanized throwdown FX extravaganza, which Disney will distribute in...

The promise of a new medical nightmare in the teaser for The Human Centipede 2

Agent Coulson helps with team-building in the Marvel One-Shot “The Consultant”

Posted 15 years ago

Although the Marvel movies have gone above and beyond in their attempt to build a self-contained “universe” on the run-up to THE AVENGERS, nonchalant S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Coulson wants to help even further. In the short film “The Consultant”, the Marvel...
