American Assassin (2017)

With American Assassin's home release on the horizon, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Michael Keaton have opened up to explain why the former Batman was the right actor to play a badass like Stan Hurley.

Thanks to a solid opening from Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Pennywise The Dancing Clown was banished to the #2 slot last weekend, but now director Andres Muschietti's IT has managed to float back to the top of the charts in its fourth three-day go-round.

Andres Muschietti's IT has been scaring off box office competition for the last couple of weeks, but it's time at the top of the charts has reached an end. The arrival of Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Golden Circle has vanquished Pennywise, and the sequel is the new king of the hill in late September.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Andres Muschietti's IT has continued its killer box office tear in its second week, and has been crowned king once again.

With American Assassin opening this weekend, reviews are starting to roll in. Here's a taste of what critics think about the movie.

This week have two movies so wildly different from each other that it's almost like they shouldn't even be featured in the same article. But I don't make the release calendar, and few people make stuff as weird as Darren Aronofsky anyway. Get ready for American Assassin and mother!

Movies have been looking to previously created material for films for about as long as there have been movies. Over the decades no source has been as popular for adaptation as the novel.

Michael Keaton is about to take the stage as a marvel comics villain in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but that won't be the only place we'll see him on screen this year. Check out the first look at American Assassin.

Dylan O'Brien has changed quite a bit for his new role in American Assassin, and you're probably going to be as surprised as we are. Read on to see his new look, inside.

American Assassin has accumulated two big names to its cast so far: Michael Keaton and Dylon O'Brien. Today they've added a third actor, who will play the villain.

Michael Keaton has seen an insane career renaissance over the last few years.With such momentum behind him, he seems to have found his next role in the upcoming adaptation of American Assassin.

It is now time for Chris Hemsworth to start cashing in, and, frankly, he deserves it. The Australian actor has already become a sensation in Hollywood, his career taking off after showing his leading man skills in 2011's Thor, and this year alone he's starred in two blockbusters (The Avengers and Snow White and the Huntsman) and one of the year's most underseen/underappreciated treats (The Cabin in the Woods).

Bruce Willis is in talks to join the CIA once again. The actor, who played a member of the agency as recently as The Expendables 2, is currently negotiating for a part in American Assassin, a new thriller from director Jeffrey Nachmanoff. Based on a script by Mike Finch, the film is about a young man named Mitch Rapp who joins the CIA "after his girlfriend his killed by a terrorist attack." Should he sign on for the project, Willis will play Rapp's mentor.

Jeffrey Nachmanoff is replacing Edward Zwick as director of American Assassin, an origin story for Vince Flynn's cold blooded protagonist Mitch Rapp. Rapp was just your ordinary star athlete and scholar at university until tragedy hit and changed him forever. And when a new group of clandestine CIA operatives is being assembled, suddenly Rapp seems like the perfect recruit.
