Universal's upcoming crime thriller, Legend, has found its release date. The film, which stars Tom Hardy, will be released October 2nd of this year which is right around the start of the Oscar season. The film revolves around Reggie and Ronnie Kray, the twin brothers who were the leaders of organized crime in London during the 1960's. This date makes sense for this film as the studio seems very excited about it and will most likely push very hard for an Oscar nomination for Hardy, who will be playing both brothers in this film.

Director Ava Duvernay is back, this time helming Disney’s live-action adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s book, A Wrinkle in Time .The famed director made history with this film when she became the first female African-American director to helm a live-action film with a budget of over $100 million and only the third female director overall to achieve that budget.

Classic Movie Monday: "Rear Window" vs "Disturbia"

There are certain classics that, in theory, should be much harder to re-imagine than others. Often times, it’s very difficult to modernize certain aspects of a story, whether it be the topic or story plot. By all accounts, Alfred Hitchcock’s mystery thriller Rear Window should have been difficult to adapt in 2007. Rear Window ’s plot makes the film date itself more than other Hitchcock films.
