Queen Latifah is a one-woman force to be reckoned with, going from "Under the Sea" in ABC's The Little Mermaid Live! to serving as lead in CBS' The Equalizer television reboot. The project has received a pilot order from the network, with Latifah also executive producing. The original 1985 CBS television series starred Edward Woodward […]
Every so often, an adaptation of a Shakespeare work comes along that leaves us questioning the decision making, but also cheering in delight. The most recent example would have to be the gender-swapped The Tempest starring Dame Helen Mirren, but this next one sounds even more awesome. Joel Cohen is reportedly working on a version of the-play-that-must-not-be-named […]

Equalizer 2 has seen its first trailer released, and it is a glorious mix of Denzel Washington one-liners and uber-violence.

Denzel Washington's passion project shows that when he has a vision, he is willing to take the long road if it means getting it right. Fences is a powerful and brilliantly acted film adaptation of the late playwright August Wilson's stage production about an African-American family living in Pittsburgh in the mid-1950s.
Fences has sharp dialogue and excellent performances but it's shot like a play not a movie. Title: Fences Director: Denzel Washington Summary: An African-American father struggles with race relations in the United States while trying to raise is family in the 1950's and coming to terms with the events of his life. There are a […]
Fences thus far is looking very good. It looks like it is sporting a pair of killer performances from Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. The first trailer was well done, not showing much about the story, but asking tough questions. The second stays in the vein, with themes such as the sacrafice of being an […]
A new featurette has been released for the Magnificent Seven featuring Chris Pratt, Vincent D'Onofrio, Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and director Antoine Fuqua talking about the camaraderie between the seven and how quickly it came together.

Kansas who he describes as a master with his weapon, he's courageous and he's the man. Director Antoine Fuqua says the journey begins with Chisolm. Magnificent Seven opens on September 23rd.
As we get near the end of the seven, we get to Chris Pratt's character of Josh Faraday the Gambler. This sixth featurette for the film introduces us to the trickster of the group. A guy who prefers drinking and women to fighting… but is deadly when he has to be. Pratt seems to bring […]

In the first teaser for MGM and Sony's upcoming remake of The Magnificent Seven, Denzel Washington tries to convince Chris Pratt to join his crusade to save a town from raiding cowboys.

A new TV spot for the upcoming Denzel Washington reboot of The Equalizer has been released and it features a new song by Eminem called Guts Over Fear. This trailer gives us a pretty good feel for the movie in that Washington is hiding out in a 'normal' life… which involves working at a hardware […]
Tt's "early talks" for both director and star, but I kinda assume the two wanting to work together is a major motivating factor here so it's probably a good sign that they're both in talks.
Screenings for the film have been testing "through the roof," with one screening in December earning the highest scores for an R-rated movie in Sony's history.
