    Empire had the opportunity to talk to Joss Whedon about the future of Serenity and his progress on a Wonder Woman script. Because of its poor box office showing, he says, Serenity probably won't see a sequel for a while, if ever. Wonder Woman, on the other hand, is a work-in-pr... / Continue →

    Warner Brothers has released a teaser poster for Wolfgang Petersen's Poseidon, due out May 12. I feel it lacks a certain human element, failing to capture the panic of being trapped in a ship, struggling for your life. At least lacking in comparison to a crazy hobo on the str... / Continue →

    First I thought the X-Men: The Last Stand makeup and costumes looked a little questionable. Now, I just kind of feel bad. It looks like someone's mom made this, then wanted a quick picture in the living room before he goes out trick-or-treating. I hope you get some king size... / Continue →
