The team at Cinefix is back with a new shot-for-shot remake of a blockbuster trailer, and this time they're taking on Captain America: Civil War. That's a heck of a trailer for a bunch of people with a minuscule budget and a DIY mentality to recreate, but you might be surprised at some of the creative ways they get around dealing with some of the trailer's big moments (explosions, for instance). And after you watch the video, you can grade their accuracy by checking out a side by side comparison.


SCAVENGERS Is a Trippy Animated Sci-Fi Short About Two Astronauts Stranded on a Planet

Scavengers is a crazy trippy animated sci-fi short that you've got to watch. This is just such a weird viewing experience, but I absolutely loved it! The story follows two astronauts who end up stranded on a strange planet full of strange alien creatures. They spend their time on the planet studying these creatures in the weirdest ways, but it all leads to a specific goal that they have in mind.

The VESTA - 1 project mission was to establish human settlement on planet designation Vesta Minor.
All contact with VESTA - 1 command crew was lost shortly after arrival.

The short was directed by Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner. It's a unique and fascinating short that's completely peculiar and has an eerie and haunting tone.

Possible First Look at Bryan Cranston as Zordon in POWER RANGERS

Like many of you, I've been looking forward to seeing what Bryan Cranston would look like as Zordon in the upcoming Power Rangers movie. Well, it looks like we have our first image that comes from a Power Rangers VR experience being shown at Qualcomm’s booth at the ongoing CES. You can see a photo of that VR experience below, which was posted on Reddit:

our-first-possible-look-at-bryan-cranston-as-zordon-in-power-rangers

There's no confirmation that this is legit, but it looks like Cranston, and it looks like the kind of style that we'd see in the film. As you can see he's a giant floating head in a cave like setting rather than in a tube. If this is legit, I'm sure Lionsgate will release a much better look at Cranston in the role soon. 

Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.

The Rangers you see here include Dacre Montgomery as Jason the Red Ranger, RJ Cyler as Billy the Blue Ranger, Naomi Scott as Kimberly the Pink Ranger, Becky G as Trini the Yellow Ranger, and Ludi Lin as Zack the Black Ranger. Elizabeth Banks also stars in the movie as the main villain Rita Repulsa.

Power Rangers is set to hit theaters March 24th.

What better way to kick off 2017 than by getting reacquainted with Bill S. Preston (Esquire) and Ted "Theodore" Logan? ScreenJunkies has dropped their first Honest Trailer of the year, and it looks back on the beloved 1989 movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Still no official word about that third movie in the franchise, but last we heard, there was a chance Bill & Ted 3 could start shooting sometime this year.

First Look at Obi-Wan Kenobi in STAR WARS REBELS; New Trailer Teases a Rematch with Darth Maul!

An exciting new trailer has been released for the mid-season premiere of Star Wars Rebels, and it's loaded with all kinds of goodies! It offers us out first look at an older Alec Guinness-era version of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and it teases a rematch between him and Darth Maul! How freakin' awesome is that?! We also get our first look at Mon Mothma in the series. 

Up until this point, every version of Obi-Wan that we've seen in the animated Star Wars series has been the young Ewan McGregor-era version. This is the first time we have see him as an older man in these shows, and it's super cool.

I just can't wait to see his rematch with Darth Maul! That's going to be quite a momentous event. I don't expect to see it happen until the season finale, though.

Star Wars Rebels returns this Saturday with a two-part episode featuring Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera.

Marvel Comics Announces DEADPOOL VS. THE PUNISHER Series

Marvel Comics has announced a new comic book series called Deadpool Vs. The Punisher, which means that we're going to get to see these two badass vigilantes battle it out! The comic comes from writer Fred Van Lente with art by Pepe Perez.

This is an interesting match-up because they have completely different personalities. Of course they aren't going to get along! Deadpool is a hilarious, non-stop talker, and The Punisher is completely humorless and always serious. The one thing they do have in common is that they are killing machines, so it should make for a good fight!

When talking about the series Van Lente tells Marvel:

"It’s a real peanut-butter-in-chocolate situation, and you take that compare/contrast and run with it. You put Deadpool in a gritty crime story and Frank in this kind of insane, manic world where Deadpool’s adventures take place, and you let them try and shoot their way out of it—and at each other!"

He goes on to say:

"Oh, they do not like each other, particularly from their [Thunderbolts] days on the same team together. Wade thinks Frank is a stick in the mud while Frank thinks Wade’s healing factor has made him loud, sloppy and useless.
"I mean, to me the gold standard for these kinds of “versus” comics is [Christopher] Priest and [Mark] Bright’s SPIDER-MAN VS. WOLVERINE, where the two characters have a genuine reason to go after each other; t’s not mind control, it’s not mistook-you-for-a-villain, both protagonists are each other’s antagonists for legitimate reasons the reader can relate to, and that’s where this new character The Bank comes in."

The writer also offers more information on this new character The Bank saying:

"The Bank is a shadowy character who’s existed in the Marvel Universe for decades, but we’ve never heard of him before because he is very much off the grid—he’s as his name implies a money man, who handles offshore accounts for a variety of amoral-to-immoral characters and organizations.
"He also happens to be one of Wade Wilson’s best friends, having known Deadpool before his Weapon X days, and so when Punisher decides to bring The Bank down, he’s got to go through Deadpool to do that, and you know what? Frank doesn’t really have a problem with that, since he doesn’t like Wade all that much anyway.
"There’s a bit more to it than that, but that would get into spoiler territory, so I will leave it there for now…"

I can't wait to see these characters go ballistic on each other!

Do you remember the Big Kahuna Burger from Pulp Fiction? You're probably more familiar with the scene in which Jules Winnfield goes on a crazy monologue in the apartment and then kills a guy. That burger Jules ate? That's what we're talking about here!

I might just be hungry, but that looks like a pretty damn tasty burger. If you're thinking the same and want to cook it, check out this video from Andrew Rea as he recreates the burger from the film! Master it and you'll be able to eat it anytime you want...even if your girlfriend is a vegetarian.

DEADPOOL Was Just Nominated For a Writers Guild Award, Which Makes an Oscar Nomination Possible

Look, I loved Deadpool! I thought it was a great film that was solidly written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, but I didn't think it would ever be nominated for any awards! But here we are, awards season upon us, and it was just nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Writers Guild Awards, which means it could very well end up getting an Oscar nomination! How awesome is that?! The WGA nominations frequently predict what the Academy is going to recognize in their Adapted and Original Screenplay nominations. 

Does it have a chance of winning? If it was nominated, then yeah... it definitely has a chance! The movie is going up against some pretty heavy hitters, though. You can see the full list of screenplay nominations below:

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
Hell or High Water, Written by Taylor Sheridan; CBS Films
La La Land, Written by Damien Chazelle; Lionsgate
Loving, Written by Jeff Nichols; Focus Features
Manchester by the Sea, Written by Kenneth Lonergan; Amazon Studios/Roadside Attractions
Moonlight, Written by Barry Jenkins, Story by Tarell McCraney; A24
ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
Arrival, Screenplay by Eric Heisserer; Based on the Story "Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang; Paramount Pictures
Deadpool, Written by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick; Based on the X-Men Comic Books; Twentieth Century Fox Film
Fences, Screenplay by August Wilson; Based on his Play; Paramount Pictures
Hidden Figures, Screenplay by Allison Schroeder and Theodore Melfi; Based on the Book by Margot Lee Shetterly; Twentieth Century Fox Film
Nocturnal Animals, Screenplay by Tom Ford; Based on the Novel Tony and Susan by Austin Wright; Focus Features

It's kind of crazy to look at this list of nominations and see Deadpool in there. Most of the films on this list are heavy dramas, and then there's Deadpool. It's certainly saying a lot, and the fact that it's unique from everything else could give it the win, but we'll just have to wait and see. 

Do you think Deadpool deserves the nomination?

One of the craziest things that came out of Rogue One: A Star Wars story was how Peter Cushing was brought back to life in CGI form as Grand Moff Tarkin. He played a much bigger part of the story than we expected him to, and I loved that.

Tonight on Nightline, visual the visual effects artists at Industrial Light and Magic will talk about creating the digital characters in the film, revealing the secrets and challenges of actually being able to properly pull it off. 

As a way to promote that special, a video was posted on Twitter showing the transformation of actor Guy Henry into Peter Cushing. It's pretty cool to see, and you'll get even more details on how they pulled it off tonight during the ABC Nightline special. 

A New Winner Is Crowned for the Most Ridiculous DRAGON BALL Cosplay of All Time

We've covered a ton of cosplay over the years, but this has to be the most ridiculous piece of Dragon Ball cosplay ever conceived. Even if you're not really familiar with the series, you've probably heard of a kamehameha, the energy blast attack delivered by Goku and some of the other characters. Someone — presumably at a convention somewhere — decided to dress up as the blast itself.

According to Google Translate, that tweet says: "I saw Kamehameha wave cosplay for the first time." Yeah, you and I both, buddy. Think about what that day must have been like for that person. Painting up, lugging the cardboard and the pads around, and then just lying down at random times to let people know what the heck you're supposed to be. That's dedication.

It's not too often you see incredible martial arts choreography in any commercial, let alone a tiny online piece for a tea restaurant that clearly doesn't have the massive budget of your typical nationwide TV commercial. But the team at Team Red Productions did a terrific job with this Kung Fu Tea ad, which is just one long fight scene of three guys caught in a hugely entertaining battle over who gets the restaurant's last taro tea. Great work, guys — maybe Hollywood will come calling.

Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker and Carrie Fisher's General Organa reunite for the first time since Return of the Jedi in this photo from the set of Star Wars: Episode VIII. Both actors are in costume and seem to be enjoying some relaxing downtime on the set. 

The photo was shared by co-star Oscar Isaac with the following note:

“She had no patience for pretense or small talk. She saw through things, at a different angle, with the gritty wisdom that comes from the hardest lessons. And, man, did she make me laugh. Will miss you dearly, Carrie.”

Fisher had already finished her work on Episode VIII, and there's no information on how her untimely death will affect the rest of the saga, but at least we will get to see her as Leia one more time.
