We all know and love Karl Urban from roles in films like Star Trek, The Chronicles of Riddick, Lord of the Rings, RED, the criminally underrated TV series Almost Human, and of course, what many of us consider to be the brightest feather in his cap, Dredd. But he’s been in a few projects you might have missed. Did you know about these five roles? 5. The Truth About Demons (2000) Harry Ballard’s brother was murdered by a Satanic cult. Now, the anthropologist spends his days obsessively researching cults as a way to come to terms with his brother’s death.…

Between trailers and spoilers, we already know that the cast of Dawn of Justice is huge. We’re getting Batman and Superman, of course, as well as Alfred, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, Lois Lane, Doomsday, Aquaman, General Zod, Cyborg, and even Perry White and Jimmy Olsen. In fact, according to IMDB.com, the entire cast contains a whopping 294 names. While I’m sure a great deal of those are extras in crowd scenes, it still serves as proof of just how massive this movie really is. But, according to director Zack Snyder, he wanted it to be even bigger. Snyder tells Collider.com…

With characters such as Daredevil, the Punisher, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist being brought to life successfully on the small screen through Marvel’s partnership with Netflix, it’s hard not to wonder who’s next in line. Jeremy Renner seems to be hoping it will be his character, Hawkeye. During a Q+A panel at Silicon Valley Comic Con, Clint Barton’s portrayer was asked about the possibility. This was his response. “I think that’s actually a really great model, if there’s ever a way to explore the character, maybe it’s in that world. These are things that are really not in…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, as we know it, is getting ready for some big changes. The Infinity War films are going to bring a whole slew of as-yet-unseen characters onto the canvas. Between Civil War and Infinity War, there’s also a pretty decent chance of one or more of our beloved Avengers meeting an untimely demise. And then there are those pesky contracts. When the multi-picture deals expire, will the actors be willing to re-sign? Robert Downey Jr has already put the kibosh on further Iron Man solo films. Is it for creative reasons? Does he truly believe Iron…

With “Hellraiser: Judgment” now in post-production, we’re finally getting our long-awaited first look at the new Pinhead. While many fans are upset at the loss of longtime actor Doug Bradley in the iconic role, in Hollywood, the show must go on. Dimension Films tapped stage actor Paul Taylor for the role. With his tall frame and imposing baritone voice, the classically trained Taylor looks to bring some gravitas to an already beloved character. For those who may not know, Pinhead (a nickname given to the character by the first film’s crew, as the hellish creatures originally had no individual names)…

More than twenty years ago, a fresh-faced teenager captured the hearts of junior-high girls the world over. I don’t think any of us ever imagined at the time that, two decades later, he would be arguably the greatest actor of his generation. With a staggering six Academy Award nominations in his pocket, Leonardo DiCaprio has had an extraordinary career, and only seems to be getting more talented as time goes by. With yet another opportunity to stop being the Susan Lucci of the Oscars, PeelTheOrange.net takes a look at a few great roles he wasn’t nominated for – and here’s…

Let me start by admitting my extreme bias. Cable is my all-time favorite comic book character, and I feel like I’ve been waiting forever to see him brought to life on film. So, as you can imagine, I squee’d out loud in the theater when Deadpool confirmed in his post-credits scene that the character will be joining him in his sequel. Now, the question is, who is the right actor to portray him on the big screen? Let’s start with a bit of info on the character. Cable is the son of Scott Summers, aka Cyclops of the X-Men, and…

Many film trilogies have been made over the years. They’re an ideal format – the story gets a beginning, a middle, and an end. It’s a tool that has been used in pretty much every genre. With so many to choose from, which can be called the best? This is one writer’s opinion. Feel free to share yours. 5. The Jersey Trilogy (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy)   I’m not a huge fan of comedy movies. Most of them, to be honest, just strike me as stupid more often than amusing. But Kevin Smith’s trio of loosely woven tales of New…

A talented actor known for playing a wide variety of characters, the New Zealand-born star has become a cornerstone of modern genre films. If there’s a sci-fi, fantasy, or comic-based film heading into production, you’ll find him being discussed for one of the lead roles. His genuine love for all things geeky, and his accessibility to fans, have made him a beloved part of our generation’s nerd culture. Let’s take a look at some of his best roles, and few you may not have seen. Eomer – Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2002) The Third Marshal of…

A report from the website Heroic Hollywood asserts that there are three directors in the running to get behind the camera for Fox’s “Gambit” solo film, starring Channing Tatum. The first name on the list is Doug Liman. His long list of credits includes The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Edge of Tomorrow. He’s thoroughly versed in both sci-fi and action with a tinge of comedy, so it’s sound like he would be more than qualified. Also, the fact that he managed to extract a great performance out of Tom Cruise should somewhat allay the fears of Tatum’s…
