The sequel to 1996’s Twister will storm into movie theaters this summer and fans got a first look at the action in an action-packed Super Bowl trailer.

In 1996, when Twister was released, “climate change” didn’t quite carry the very real, very doom-laden weight that it does now. These days, dangerously freaky weather grabs alarmingly regular headlines, so the time feels ripe for an update—and here comes Twisters to bring us killer tornados aplenty.Rainn Wilson’s First Fandoms: Star Trek And D&DNote that Twisters isn’t being marketed as a sequel to Twister, Jan de Bont’s summer blockbuster that starred Helen Hunt and the late Bill Paxton as married but estranged storm…

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts may not have been the box office beast Paramount wanted it to be, but those who saw it surely won’t forget its ending. It’s an ending that required lots of planning and even more approvals, with one in particular being the most difficult to get: producer Michael Bay.Breaking the Fourth Wall in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts | io9 Interview(Rise of the Beasts is now on Paramount+ if you want to see it for yourself,but from here, we’re going to go full spoilers.)

Dumb Money, the film chronicling GameStop's 2021 stock market frenzy, just got a trailer. The film marks director Craig Gillespie's foray into adapting real-life stories — since 2017's I, Tonya — and is slated to release September 22 in theatres. With Paul Dano in the lead, it essentially serves as a David v Goliath dramedy about the real-life YouTuber Keith Gill, who took on billionaire hedge fund managers, who were betting that the stock price of brick-and-mortar retailer GameStop would fall. The shocking events were…

For a child of the 1980s, it doesn’t get much better than getting to direct a Rocky movie followed by a Transformers movie. But for Steven Caple Jr., that’s exactly what happened. The filmmaker went from Creed II, which reunited two epic 1980s rivals in Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago, to Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which does the same for two other 1980s rivals: Optimus Prime and Unicron.Giving Optimus Prime a Proper Back Story | io9 InterviewThat pair met in the unforgettable 1986 animated film, Transformers: The…

Let’s face facts. The bar of quality for Transformers movies isn’t very high. Michael Bay’s 2007 original is OK and 2018's Bumblebee is solid, but in the 11 years between those, films like Revenge of the Fallen, The Last Knight, and the rest are all varying levels of crap. Five years after the last movie, coming back to the world of robots in disguise, the bar is basically “Please don’t suck.” Andwe’re happy to report that Transformers: Rise of the Beasts does not suck. It’s actually quite entertaining, especially for a…

After years of being brutalized by godawful Transformers movies, audiences are seemingly not yet ready for the idea of a good one. That much was evident back in 2018 when Paramount released Bumblebee, a lean, mean, heartfelt version of a Transformers movie that exceeded critical expectations, but underwhelmed at the box office. So even though Bumblebee, the last Transformers movie, was actually good, it’s unclear if audiences are yet ready to accept such a thing. Spoilers of the Week: July 1stThe new film, Transformers:…
