Mike Sampson is the Editor-in-Chief of ScreenCrush. He studied to become a lawyer and worked as an architectural planner after graduating college but neither of these professions afforded him the opportunity to watch movies and TV for a living. He previously served as the Editor-in-Chief of JoBlo.com for 10 years. He lives in New Jersey and probably spends too much time playing video games and overthinking things.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ First Look: Marvel Releases First Official Photo
Just before most people were ready to sneak off into the night to toast the new year, Disney and Marvel released their 2014 preview. It was mostly full of stuff we'd already seen (remember those 'Captain America 2' pics from the other day?) with one notable exception: our first official look at 'Guardians of the Galaxy.'
‘Million Dollar Arm’ Trailer: Jon Hamm Meets Jerry Maguire
We like Jon Hamm. We think he's underappreciated by the Emmy's and wish he had a more successful movie career. That said, we just watched this trailer for 'Million Dollar Arm,' Hamm's first lead role and we wish we had nicer things to say about it.
J.K. Rowling Working on a ‘Harry Potter’ Prequel Following a Young, Orphan Harry
The boy who lived continues to live on. Two years after the last 'Harry Potter' movie hit theaters (and six years after 'Deathly Hallows' was published), author J.K. Rowling is working on a Potter prequel that would follow a young Harry as an orphan, before his time at Hogwarts.
Samuel L. Jackson, Tobey Maguire and Arcade Fire Join Zach Galifianakis For a ‘Between Two Ferns’ Holiday Special
The 'Between Two Ferns' web series is one of the most consistently hilarious on the internet; the only downside being that Zach Galifianakis and crew make so few of them (the last one was back in September with guest Justin Bieber). Well, to make up for their absence, 'Between Two Ferns' is back with a jam-packed holiday special with Tobey Maguire, Samuel L. Jackson and even a musical guest, Arcad
’22 Jump Street’ Trailer: Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum Go Back to School
"What's up dawg." "We're back!" And so the '22 Jump Street' trailer begins as Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum return for the sequel to their fantastic comedy '21 Jump Street.' As teased at the end of the original movie, the sequel has them going off to college. Let's take a look at the '22 Jump Street' trailer and see if we want to enroll with them.
‘Captain America 2′ Extended Sneak Peek to Run in Theaters With ‘Thor 2′
Was the 'Captain America 2' trailer not enough for you? Well, we have good news! Fans who go see 'Thor 2' in 3D will be treated to an exclusive, extended five-minute sneak peek at 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' including never-before-seen footage!
‘Mr. Peabody and Sherman’ Trailer: History in the Making
Fans of the original 'Mr. Peabody and Sherman' shorts from 'Rocky and His Friends' probably won't find much to like in this new trailer for the DreamWorks animated film. But, then again, they're probably a good 50 years older than the target audience for the new 'Mr. Peabody and Sherman' movie.
‘Endless Love’ Trailer: Say Goodbye to Innocence
Even if you haven't seen the schmaltzy 1981 movie 'Endless Love,' chances are you're at least familiar with the classic Diana Ross/Lionel Richie duet it spawned. And, that makes sense. The song was wildly popular; the movie was not (Roger Ebert called it "a narrative and logical mess"). Despite that, Universal has pressed ahead with a remake and...it's about as melodramatic as you'd expe
Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly to Reunite For Halloween Comedy ‘Devil’s Night’
Huff and Doback are back. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly will once again reunite for the upcoming Halloween-themed comedy titled 'Devil's Night.' Hey, it's no 'Step Brothers 2' but it's a start.
Harrison Ford Flips Out After Audience Member Asks a ‘Star Wars: Episode 7′ Question
Harrison Ford was a guest on last night's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' to promote his movie '42' and naturally the discussion came around to 'Star Wars: Episode 7' and the future of the franchise. Ford tried to stay mum and say he couldn't talk about anything 'Star Wars,' but when he agreed to some questions from the audience, things got heated and Ford walked off the set.
