“It took us one year to work on ‘Oblivion’ with Joseph Trapanese, and I’ve been through all types of emotions. I almost quit. I couldn’t sleep. I was so stressed out. I was on the verge of breaking down. We were touring a lot and I had to work on this at the same time.”

...

I quickly realized that all the ideas of the music I had before working on it weren’t going to happen because it’s Hollywood and because it’s a $150 million dollar budget. I’m not the boss. I’m just someone working for them,” Gonzalez explained. “They needed something bigger, more orchestral; it was hard for me to…

As we do each Wednesday, we’ll be streaming The MovieByte Podcat live at 6:30 PM Central Time and we’ll be talking about Oblvion. It was a great film and I’m sure we’re going to have some great discussion about it. I mean, just the soundtrack alone bears talking about. But it also had great story, great concepts, and a great plot.

And you can join in the fun too by joining us live and participating in the chat on the live page where we can interact with you as the show unfolds. If you have opinions you want heard, this is the way to make it happen. And we always enjoy having a live…

AOL has an exclusive clip from Star Trek Into Darkness and I’ve embedded it right here for your enjoyment.

I have of course, seen this clip already when I went to the sneak peak event held at my local IMAX theater in Nashville (yes, I’m bragging), but now you all can see it. The Prime Directive is in full swing here, which is funny since the Prime Directive was never really fully fleshed out in the original series. Also, it seems like there has always been exceptions for extreme circumstances, like the fact that SPOCK IS GOING TO DIE! if Kirk doesn’t do something.

I will say that I like…

Here it is boys and girls, a brand new teaser for Thor: The Dark World. Well, the first teaser, the first look at all we’ve had of the film, actually.

Thor: The Dark World will star Chris Hemsworth (of course), Natalie Portman (of course), as well as other returning cast: Kat Dennings, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Jaimie Alexander, Rene Russo, Anthony Hopkins and Tom Hiddleston. Some new faces are Christopher Eccleston and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

This is the trailer that will appear on the big screen ahead of Iron Man 3 but I guess Marvel knew we would all be anxious to get our…

The guys at CineFix have done it again. This is not a remake of the most recent (and final) theatrical trailer. I don’t remember for sure, but I think they trailer they are remaking here is theatrical number 2?

In any event, as before, this is pretty awesome! Be sure to see the first one they did if you haven’t yet.

Here’s the trailer:

And here’s the side by side comparison video so you can see how well they replicated each shot:

Filming details have surfaced for Fox’s 2015 big-screen reboot of Marvel’s First Family, The Fantastic Four, revealing the production’s working title and principal photography’s surprising start date.

As reported by Production Weekly via Twitter, the reboot based on Marvel’s First Family and directed by Josh Trank will start shooting under the working title Henry Street, as soon as June 17th!

Uhh, what?!? That franchise just got started, now they’re rebooting it. What on earth? Can someone please explain what is going on with this phenomenon? I don’t get it. Why did we need a reboot…

Coulson lives! Long live Coulson!

This much we know at least for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but the method by which Coulson will be returning is going to have to stay mysterious unfortunately. But that doesn’t mean that Clark Gregg doesn’t have some things to say about it.

I don’t know how you could not change going through what he went through in The Avengers. I think if he hadn’t gone through some kind of change, it wouldn’t be any good. That said, I don’t know if he understands how much he’s changed.

...

Some level of deception must have been perpetrated on the Avengers.…

This morning I read one of those movie reviews that gives me an upset stomach; a review so pathetically ridiculous that it warrants criticism for its misleading tropes and arrogant close-mindedness.

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky at RogerEbert.com:

If nothing else, “Oblivion” will go down in film history as the movie where Tom Cruise pilots a white, sperm-shaped craft into a giant space uterus. The scene is more interesting to describe than it is to watch. Cruise’s sperm-ship enters through an airlock that resembles a geometrized vulva. He arrives inside a massive chamber lined with egg-like…

Another weekend has passed, films have been watched, box office reports are in, totals have been tallied. Let’s see what story they tell.

#1 Oblivion

$38.1 Million Domestic / $112 Million Foreign = $150.1 Million Worldwide Total

Winning the top spot on it’s first weekend outing, Oblivion slides in to home plate with a weekend domestic gross of $38.1 Million. That may be decent, but it’s not knocking your socks off for a $120 Million budget, however foreign charts or through the roof pushing the worldwide total to $150.1 Million. That already pushes the film above it’s production…
