Blumhouse Boss Explains Why He’s OK With Todd McFarlane Directing ‘Spawn’

Domhnall Gleeson Nearly Turned Down His ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Role
Quick, what’s the most important element to the enduring success of the Star Wars universe? Jedi? Good guess, but nope. Stormtroopers? Close, but still no. Give up? For my money, the success of the Star Wars universe is owed to the endless supply of talented and high-profile European actors w…

Professional ‘Star Wars’ Tease Ron Howard Does It Again
It’s getting progressively more difficult to find anything of value to say when Ron Howard teases more behind-the-scenes photos from the Han Solo set. On the one hand, we get it, Opie, you’re deeply immersed in the Star Wars universe and doing all kinds of cool [expletive] and weȁ…
