With directorJonathan Levine’sLong Shotopening this weekend in theaters, I recently sat down withO’Shea Jackson Jr. to talk about making this extremely funny comedy. During the interview, he talked how he landed the role, deleted scenes, how he originally set out to be a writer and not an actor, the status ofDen of Thieves 2,when he is going to work with his father,Ice Cube, and more. If you haven’t seen the greattrailers forLong Shot, the film is written byLiz Hannah(The Post) andDan Sterling(The Office) and follows the unlikely romance between a hard-hitting political journalist (Seth Rogen) and his first crush (Charlize Theron), who now happens to be the current U....

If the recent trailers forPokémon Legends: Arceushave got you feeling nostalgic, stay calm because the Pokémon Company is well aware of another, earlier release that is coming in late November for die-hard Pokémon fans who need news as well. The new trailer forPokémon Brilliant DiamondandPokémon Shining Pearlwas released to remind us that the new version of the 2007 games are just around the corner from the release.

Throughout his thirty-year film career,Quentin Tarantinohas been well-known for his embrace of extreme and stylized violence, sometimes overblown to the point thateven veteran horror directorshave a tough time watching it. As such, it’s really no surprise to learnhe has a long history of tension with the MPAA ratings system, often in different ways. Perhaps the most notable example isPulp Fiction, still widely considered his magnum opus, which contains what is possibly the most unexpected and darkly comedic death in his filmography — but we’ll get to that in a moment....

Among the many atrocities committed against popular culture byThe Big Bang Theory,there exists only one that equals the sheer, breathtaking obnoxiousness of coming across aYoung Sheldonposter without warning. I speak, of course, of the way the show brought to light and legitimized a piece of geek criticism once reserved for the darkest, most annoying corner of your local video store: The “Indiana Jones Doesn’t Matter In His Own Movie” theory. Folks, I hate it, and onRaiders of the Lost Ark’s 40th anniversary, it’s finally time to put the dang thing in the dirt....

Today, we’re pleased to share an exclusive deleted scene fromDexter Fletcher’sRocketman. The fantasy-biopic starsTaron Egertonas five-time Grammy-winning iconElton JohnalongsideBryce Dallas Howard(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom),Richard Madden(Game of Thrones),Jamie Bell(Fantastic Four), andGemma Jones(Bridget Jones’ Baby). In the clip, Elton is offered a chance to relapse, and while you can see that there’s clearly a temptation to use again, he manages to decline. It’s not a bad scene, but it also makes sense why Fletcher left this on the cutting room floor....

So,The Dark Towercomes out in August. Did you forget? Well, who could blame you? The long (long, long, long) awaited film adaptation ofStephen King’s Gunslinger novels is finally upon us, but you sure wouldn’t know it from the marketing campaign. Sony gave The Dark Tower a pretty decent early push with a string of images, an ARG app, and an active social media presence, but the noise rapidly died down and in the months since, fans have been eagerly awaiting the first trailer forNikolaj Arcel’s spin on the saga of Roland Deschain (Idris Elba) and his eternal battle with the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey)....
