Welcome to The Extras! A daily dose of all the smaller movie related news, clips and just plain cool stuff that you might have missed! Last Updated: August 1, 2014

Now here’s a film which has flown in under the radar. Despite the fact that it boasts a cast that features actors such as Kate Beckinsale, Ben Kingsley and Michael Caine, Stonehearst Asylum has only just now managed to grab my attention. It looks like a properly creepy film, and with a nice angle to boot. England, 1899. When young …

It’s no small secret that I happen to have a guilty pleasure of the first Spongebob Squarepants movie. That’s an animated film that, despite a wholesome appearance, is actually pretty sick and twisted when you sit down and think about it. Hell, someone gets their lips ripped off and Spongebob gets drunk off of candy. It’s been a couple of …

That’s about to change, as Oscar winner Jamie Foxx will instead be lacing up the gloves and breaking out his best ear-sushi recipes to portray the …

I must say everywhere I look these days is something Disney. From epic earth battles to battles in the stars they are sweeping up genres like an ill-treated stepdaughter. Their last movie dealing with fairy tales was the rather good Maleficent that sought for a far darker re-telling of the ever popular Sleeping Beauty. This time round though it looks like they’ll …
