Now that the Oscar nominations have been announced, studios will be making an effort to get audiences to watch some of the films that have earned nominations in some of the top categories.

One move that they generally do is to re-release a film in theaters for a limited time. It’s been done many times before, and Paramount will do it for Arrival. The Denis Villeneuve sci-fi film has been nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture. However, it managed to snub Amy Adams, for whatever reason I cannot figure out why. But find out more about the re-release below.

Denis Villeneuve has already proven himself to be well-versed in the sci-fi genre with the critically acclaimed Arrival. His next project sees him helming a more daring project, Blade Runner 2049, a sequel to Blade Runner.

And now it looks like he will be taking on yet another sci-fi film. There is word that the director is in early talks to helm a reboot of Dune following Legendary Pictures’ acquisition of the rights to author Frank Herbert‘s novel of the same name. Check out the full story below.

Fresh off the hit teaser trailer that was released yesterday, we are learning more about Denis Villeneuve‘s Blade Runner 2049 starring Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford. The long-awaited sequel will hit theaters in the fall of next year, and it will be a while before we see another trailer.

However, if you’re itching for more goods from the upcoming sequel, then you are in luck. A handful of images of Gosling sporting a coat – that everyone will probably want – and word on an R-rating and a possible sequel have popped up online. Check out the latest news below.

The first trailer for the sequel to Ridley Scott‘s 1982 sci-fi classic Blade Runner, titled Blade Runner 2049, has been released online.

It’s only a teaser trailer, but does show a good amount of footage that should leave fans plenty excited to see more of the movie. This time around Scott produces, with Arrival and Sicario director Denis Villeneuve stepping in to direct. Original star Harrison Ford returns for the sequel and makes an appearance in this first trailer alongside new star Ryan Gosling. Also starring is Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, Lennie James, Dave Bautista, and Jared Leto.

“Where do they come from? What do they want?”

First contact, the introductory meeting between humanity and extraterrestrial life, was a common theme in the work of H. G. Wells, most notably in 1898’s The War of the Worlds and 1901’s The First Men in the Moon. The term itself, however, wasn’t coined until 1945, with American author Murray Leinster’s novelette, “First Contact.”

Since then, filmmakers have been fascinated by what that pivotal moment would be like, from The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) to Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Independence Day (1996), and Contact (1997). Most recently, we’ve seen first contact “” combined with the message from space trope “” in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, and Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar.
