After Alexandra Shipp, Sophie Turner, and Tye Sheridan were cast as young versions of Storm, Jean Grey and Cyclops respectively, we didn’t think X-Men: Apocalypse would have many more younger versions of familiar mutants joining up with James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and Evan Peters from X-Men: Days of Future Past. But director Bryan Singer added one more young mutant to the mix as he revealed that Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Let Me In star Kodi Smit-McPhee will play Nightcrawler, the blue-skinned, teleporting mutant from X2: X-Men United. ›››

Because Disney just can’t let a cash cow dry out, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, has officially begun production in Australia. Kon-Tiki directing duo Espen Sandberg & Joachim Rønning are at the helm of the fifth entry in the high seas adventure franchise that all spawned from a classic theme park ride and rode that wave to over $3.7 billion in box office receipts.

Just last week, we learned that MMA fighter turned actress Gina Carano would join Ryan Reynolds for the anticipated big screen adaptation of Deadpool. At the same time, it was reported that the metal mutant Colossus would also be involved in the X-Men spin-off, but we didn’t know if franchise star Daniel Cudmore, who played the character in X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Days of Future Past, would be back to play the character. Now the actor himself has taken to Twitter to clarify that he will not be part of Deadpool, meaning a new actor will be cast as the strong, Russian mutant. Read on! ›››

Last spring Filmmaker IQ took us through the history of movie trailers from all the way back in 1913, but this time it’s Steven Benedict giving us a more in-depth look at the evolution of the integral piece of movie marketing. Benedict has put together a video essay called American Trailers, and as you may have guessed, it focuses on just the evolution of trailers in the United States. It’s just under 20 minutes, and it examines the function of movie trailers, beyond more than what we already know, and also how they’ve been used throughout the history of cinema. So if you’ve got time, take a journey through movie trailer history. ›››

Even though we’ve seen plenty of footage from Maps to the Stars, thanks to the Canadian trailer, the United Kingdom trailer and most recent US trailer (just to name a few), we have one more quick, wild red band trailer for the skewering of Hollywood as only director David Cronenberg can deliver. It’s not all that crazy of a red band trailer, with only hints of nudity and one f-bomb dropped by Mia Wasikowska, but it’s certainly frenetic and full of some weird imagery, including one curious shot of Robert Pattinson. But it’s Oscar nominee Julianne Moore stealing the trailer with her crazy actress character again. Watch! ›››

Considering this year marks the 30th anniversary of the original Back to the Future, as well as being the year that Doc Brown and Marty McFly traveled to in the future for the sequel, we already know there’s going to be plenty of celebration for the time travel franchise. Earlier this year we featured an incredible trio of prints honoring the trilogy, and now we have an awesome case for the iPhone that will turn the Apple mobile device into the DeLorean time machine. No, this isn’t just a cheap flat case that puts an image of the DeLorean on the back of your phone, it’s a small three-dimensional model of the time machine. Look! ›››
