Nine years after the original Zombieland introduced us all to its low-key, cardio-heavy take on the undead end of the world, its cast and director have finally come back together for a sequel. Deadline reports that Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, and director Ruben Fleischer have now all…

The 90th Academy Awards are coming up Sunday, March 4th and Film Club is counting down the days leading up to the ceremony with an examination of this year’s major categories. Each day, A.V. Club film editor A.A. Dowd and staff critic Ignatiy Vishnevetsky will break down a category and give us their picks for who …

Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) is hardly the only handsome rake in Solo: A Star Wars Story, as evinced by Lando Calrissian’s (Donald Glover) repeat suave-as-fuck appearances in the trailers. Because the spin-off is basically an origin story, it’s also full of shady characters, including rogues played by Woody Harrelson,…

Star Tom Hardy recently confirmed that the Venom movie he’s starring in will be based on the Lethal Protector miniseries from the ‘90s in which longtime Spider-Man villain Venom—the Eddie Brock flavor, for people who know the different Venoms—briefly moves to San Francisco and becomes an anti-hero. Now, we know one…

On a lonely backstretch of road largely unused since the highway was built, a message appears in big black letters, spread across three bright red canvases. “Raped While Dying,” the first reads. “And Still No Arrests?” goes the second. And finally: “How Come, Chief Willoughby?” This is the doing of one Mildred Hayes…

Rob Reiner’s LBJ hides Woody Harrelson under prosthetics and make-up. The result looks terrible, like a fish-lipped Dick Tracy villain with an elephant’s ears. Is this really supposed to be Lyndon B. Johnson, the guru of Senate politics who misread the first modern primary? The president who created the largest array…

Are the apes—the bipedal, horseback-riding Planet Of The Apes apes—us? Matt Reeves’ War For The Planet Of The Apes, the third and most technically accomplished entry in the Planet Of The Apes prequel series, almost answers this question “no,” and that’s about as close as any of these movies have gotten to breaking…

According to Deadline, a long-in-production movie about the Texas Rangers tasked with hunting down legendary outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow might finally get made, at least if Netflix can get the rights from Universal. The project is called Highwaymen, and it was originally set to star Paul Newman and Robert…

So much for total secrecy. A laid-back but probably not high Woody Harrelson disclosed the name of his character in the Han Solo-focused Star Wars spin-off on The Tonight Show last night. Harrelson is remarkably unfazed by this whole “being in Star Wars” thing, explaining with a giggle that he was never a “fanatic,”…

The cartoonist Daniel Clowes has built a career on misfits, misanthropes, and losers—society’s black sheep in black-rimmed glasses. But among his gallery of downtrodden outcasts, Wilson stands out for the sheer exasperating force of his personality. Introduced in the pages of the 2010 graphic novel that bears his…

It’s a tragic day for the stoner community, as future Tokin’ Hall of Famer Woody Harrelson has announced that he has formally retired from partaking in that kind herb known as marijuana. It’s time to hang his jersey number from the rafters and send him off with one last salutatory bong rip, because the man who tried…

Can a film be both bitterly, bitingly misanthropic and kind of cuddly? Wilson (Grade: B) gives it a good college try. The film is based on the 2010 graphic novel by Daniel Clowes, who helped adapt some of his earlier works into a pair of big-screen comedies, Ghost World and Art School Confidential. With Wilson, he’s…

It appears that Woody Harrelson sheepishly let slip just who he’ll be playing in the Han Solo movie during an interview with Variety at Sundance. The actor’s initial reticence to respond perhaps implies that he’ll be getting a stern talking to from some higher ups at Lucasfilm, but he did seem to confirm that the …

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a White Men Can’t Jump remake is on the way from Mortal Media partners (and pro athletes) Blake Griffin and Ryan Kalil. This is especially good news in a week that’s already seen one fundamentally flawed attempt at mending race relations in this country. Ron Shelton’s original film…

At one point in his youth, it Han Solo apparently knew someone who we can only assume is a wily dude who sounds like he’s from Texas. After all, Lucasfilm announced today that Woody Harrelson has been cast in the upcoming Star Wars spinoff focused on the smuggler. Though reports that emerged last week about…

Nobody really knows how Han Solo became the handsome rogue who only shoots after other people have shot in the Star Wars movies, especially now that Disney has jettisoned the old Expanded Universe. But Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s upcoming spin-off film is presumably going to shed some light on the guy. According to Variety

Woody Harrelson has announced his intentions to make what he’s calling “the first live movie,” a feature-length, multi-location film that’ll be streamed directly into theaters, as it shoots, on January 19. Harrelson revealed the idea via a trailer released today, noting that it’s never been tried before, because “no…
