Boba Fett Is Now Much More Intimidating Without The Helmet Since his introduction to the “Star Wars” canon nearly 45 years ago, a huge part of the allure and subsequent popularity surrounding Boba Fett was due to his character’s mystery. Fett’s favoritism developed first in an aesthetic sense, with his awesome armor, super cool ship, inexplicable ability to put Darth Vader on edge, and an incredibly rad helmet design. In the original trilogy, we never see what Boba Fett looks like under his armor (No, I am not counting original Boba Fett actor Jeremy Bulloch showing up in a dual role as an Imperial officer in “Empire”), and despite the character’s “death,” Boba Fett has remained a fan favorite....

Charlie Brown Voice Actor Peter Robbins Has Died At 65 If you’re anything like me, “Peanuts” and the characters of the greaterCharlie Brownuniverse have been a staple in my life since I can remember — which is why it brings me absolutely zero joy to report that Peter Robbins, voice of Charlie Brown, has died at age 65. Robbins — who is known for lending his voice acting talents to many of the popular “Peanuts” sequel films of the 1960s — died by suicide last week, his family confirmed toFox 5 San Diegoon Tuesday, January 25....

Deadpool 2 Star Zazie Beetz Would Love To Play Domino Again: ‘I’ll Make It Happen’ Zazie Beetz is ready to return as Domino for “Deadpool 3” … and “Deadpool 19.” Domino’s mutant superpower is luck, and if that lucks holds then we’ll see her working her powers again in 2023 (or thereabouts.)

The boy, Amin, caught his attention for a number of reasons: In his sleepy Danish town in the 1980s, there weren’t a lot of Afghani people at all, let alone teens who appeared to be living on their own....

How Gareth Evans Kept The Raid From Being Too Over The Top Hyperbolic language is all the rage these days, with every movie being described as either the “best/worst thing ever,” but I can say with no exaggeration — “The Raid” is the coolest f***ing movie of all time. Don’t @ me. Don’t fight me. Just accept that this is a correct statement and take a deep breath. Director Gareth Evans revitalized the way we approach action films with his 2011 film starring Iko Uwais, and unfortunately for literally every action film with cool fight scenes that has come out in its wake, they’ve all unfairly had to live inits shadow....

Interview: How David Lowery’s ‘Pete’s Dragon’ Was Inspired By A Bank Commercial DirectorDavid Lowery’s reimagining of Disney’sPete’s Dragonis a very, very loose remake. It’s more detached from the original film than any of the other live-action Disney remakes. For Lowery and co-writerToby Halbrooks, a boy, Pete (Oakes Fegley), and a dragon, Elliot, were all they needed to take from the 1977 musical. Halbrooks and Lowery’s tale of friendship is character-driven and sparse....

Is ‘Full-On Horror’ Next For Joel And Ethan Coen? WithTrue Gritstanding as the greatest box-office success ofJoel and Ethan Coen’s directorial career, the question now is naturally: what next? While some (read: me) might hope that this success would finally provide a way to finance their adaptation ofTo the White Sea, it seems like that’s not to be the case. But there are other movies in the pipeline. One could be a pseudo-16mm documentary, and another could be called a “full-on horror movie....
