It’s no secret that Disney’s live-action adaptation of their animated classics have helped them become a powerful box-office juggernaut. The studio has already released two this year alone, and have a third planned for release later this August, though you could say that it was an unexpected choice.

Pete’s Dragon is a new telling of the 1967 classic film from David Lowery. Starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Robert Redford, Wes Bently, Karl Urban, and newcomers Oakes Fegeley and Oona Laurence the film is a bit of an unconventional but welcomed adaptation, as it uses the bare bones elements of a savage boy being raised by a dragon, who then finds a home with his fellow humans, who try to figure out how he could live for so long on his own. While certain members of the small town community know of Pete’s secret friend, others see it as a threat, and are bent on capturing the creature.

We were recently invited to sit down with a group of journalists at the El Capitan last week to listen to David Lowery talk about the differences between the original and upcoming film, his process of bringing it from script to screen, the tone, songs, and more.

Check out the eight reasons why you should see this film below.

Following the release of the first poster for Disney’s reimagining of Pete’s Dragon comes the teaser trailer. Directed by David Lowery (Ain’t Them Body Saints), the film is a retelling of the 1977 cult classic about an orphan boy, Pete (Oakes Fegley), and his best friend, who just so happens to be a dragon named Elliot. The new film also stars Robert Redford, Bryce Dallas Howard, Wes Bently, and Oona Laurence.

Say what you will about Disney reimagining their animated classics into live-action films, but the concept has been a box office smash for them. But Pete’s Dragon was one of those rare films to be hybrid of live-action and cel animation. It wasn’t as big of a hit with the masses, but it did gain a cult fan base, and soon it will be joining the live-animation reimaginings that came before it like Alice In Wonderland, Maleficent, and Cinderella.

Disney debuted very brief glimpses of the film during the D23 Expo in August of last year, and we haven’t heard much since then. Now, the studio has revealed the first motion poster for Pete’s Dragon. Check it out here below.

Bryce Dallas Howard popped by the Disney D23 Expo 2015 in Anaheim, California, yesterday to talk about Pete’s Dragon and give fans a sneak peek. She describes her character, Grace, as a realistic and practical forest ranger.

If Captain America: The First Avenger is a ’40s wartime movie serial, then Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a ’70s political thriller in the vein of films like Three Days of the Condor and All the President’s Men.

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (Arrested Development, Community), Captain America: The Winter Soldier picks up two years after the events of The Avengers. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) lives in Washington, D.C. where he continues to work for S.H.I.E.L.D. A man in the wrong time, he struggles to adapt to contemporary society.

If you follow any movie reporters on Twitter, you might have noticed a large amount of exciting tweets praising Captain America: The Winter Soldier. That’s because the film was screened last night to the press, and from what has been said so far, it seems that the praise is unanimous. I’ll be checking out the film tonight with my own eyes, but it seems that I will most likely have the same reaction.

But for those who have seen it, reactions range from “awesome” to “one of the best Marvel movie ever.” So hit the jump to see all the reactions.

Before 2013 ends and 2014 begins, Marvel Studios has teased us with four new images from the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier starring Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, and Samuel L. Jackson, with brand new looks at the sequel’s villains, played by Sebastian Stan and Robert Redford.

The images debuted over at Empire Magazine and will appear in their December 31st print issue. Hit the jump to check out the new images.

Fans of Marvel Comics will have two potential blockbuster films to look forward to next year. Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the Guardians of the Galaxy, the latter of which is set to begin later this year, but principal photography for the Captain America sequel, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, has just started.

Disney has just released the first official image from the film, which pictures the titular hero, played by Chris Evans, in a somewhat familiar setting. Check out the full image and as well as information on the new movie here below.

Marvel Studios has confirmed various internet rumors that Robert Redford will be playing the villain MODOK in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Check out the first look at Redford in character here below!

The Hollywood icon will be joining Avengers stars Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson Cobie Smulders, and Scarlett Johansson, along with Anthony Mackie, Toby Jones, Hayley Atwell, Emily VanCamp, with Frank Grillo as Crossbones and Georges St-Pierre as Batroc The Leaper, all set to star in the film directed by Anthony and Joe Russo.

Marvel Studios has no problem reeling in some of the biggest names in Hollywood to star in their films. Tommy Lee Jones played the salty hard-nosed Colonel Chester Philips in Captain America: The First Avenger, a rare departure from the usual roles he’s known for. Now, it looks like Robert Redford will do the same. The actor who is well-known for running the business at the Sundance Film Festival and a few low key dramas, will now have a role in one of the most highly anticipated superhero films.

Deadline reports that the actor will play a senior level member of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the sequel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Like most actors who sign on for roles in Marvel Studios films, they are generally contractually obligated to appear in a few more. It’s widely known that Samuel L. Jackson is signed on for multiple films, but the number of films that Redford would appear in if he does sign on has yet to be revealed.
