Harrison Ford Sort of Confirms He’ll Be In Star Wars VII

Harrison Ford Sort of Confirms He’ll Be In Star Wars VII
Adam Chitwood - Collider

Another day, another semi-confirmation of a Star Wars return for an actor from the original trilogy.  Despite Joss Whedon’s thoughts on the matter, it seems inevitable now that Mark HamillCarrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford will be reprising their roles from the original Star Wars trilogy in the J.J. Abrams-helmed Episode VII.  Hamill previously said the trio was in talks, Fisher has outright confirmed that she’ll be back, and George Lucas said it’s pretty much a done deal.  Now you can add the final piece of the puzzle to the pile, as Harrison Ford has essentially confirmed that they’ll…

Whedon’s Reaction to ‘Iron Man 3’ Ending

Whedon’s Reaction to ‘Iron Man 3’ Ending
Angie Han - /Film

2 Kids and a Coupon (via Cinema Blend) attended a recent press event with Feige, where he revealed Whedon’s reaction.

….We have what I think is the biggest, you know, most action packed finale we’ve had. I showed the film to Joss Whedon who is our writer-director of Avengers, is currently working on Avengers 2, and he saw the finale of this and he goes, now what am I supposed to do now?  What am I going to do in Avengers 2?

If Whedon is impressed, I have no doubt that it will be good! Is it May 3rd yet?

Apple TV Software Update

Apple TV Software Update
Juli Clover - MacRumors

Alongside today’s update to iOS 6.1.3, Apple also updated the Apple TV to version 5.2.1. The 5.2.1 software contains a number of bug fixes and has also brought a redesigned Hulu app to the device. 

The security fixes, which can all be credited to the evad3rs, prevent users from executing unsigned code, determining the address of structures in the kernel, and executing arbitrary code in the kernel. 

As for Hulu, the app has been entirely redesigned with improved discovery tools and some simple UI enhancements.

I downloaded the update and used the new Hulu app last night to…

More ‘Monsters University’ Viral Marketing

More ‘Monsters University’ Viral Marketing

I’m not really into sports, but apparently it’s a thing, especially college sports. And from the looks of it, the Monsters U team was a little disappointed with their placement. A “local monster college student” seems to have captured the reaction and it made it to “Pixar News”.

Monsters University will feature the voice talents of John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Steve Buscemi, Ben Kingsley, Helen Mirren, David Spade, Alfred Molina and Ricky Gervais. The film opens on June 21st.

‘Star Trek TNG’ Streaming and Download in HD

‘Star Trek TNG’ Streaming and Download in HD

All I can say is, it’s about time!

You can now get Star Trek: The Next Generation digitally in a couple of different forms, and in HD!

The entire series is now streaming on Hulu. The first two seasons in remastered HD. In my comparisons, it’s far better quality than those old DVD transfers, but it’s not as good as the Blu-ray. Still, if you’re on a tight budget and already have a Hulu subscription (hello there friend!), then Hulu is a great way to go.

If you would like to own and control the digital files (as I would if I had the cash),…

‘Hansel and Gretel’ Sequel

‘Hansel and Gretel’ Sequel
Kevin Jagernauth - The Playlist

This is why we can’t have nice things. So, “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters”—a total piece of crap, dumped into January, receiving scathing reviews and then disappearing forever, right? Hardly. This past weekend, the movie quietly passed $200 million worldwide. Wha? That’s right, international audiences have been gobbling this movie up, with it earning nearly three times what it did in North America, which means one thing: sequel!

Again, another movie that I don’t quite understand all the angst about. There have been far better films, but there have also been far worse films. And as far…

‘Iron Man 3’ TV Spot

‘Iron Man 3’ TV Spot

Alright, Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2! I’m ready. I’ve been gearing up by watching the Marvel film (I’ve watched Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 [ugh] is next on my list), and May can’t get here soon enough. Here’s a little bit more to whet the appetite for you.

Iron Man 3 will obviously star Robert Downey Jr. and will also star Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin. Also returning are Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Jon Favreau as Hogan, and Don Cheadle as Rhodey.

Star Wars Expose - Luke’s Change: An Inside Job

Star Wars Expose - Luke’s Change: An Inside Job

A documentary expose on why the destruction of the Death Star may have been an inside job. This is completely and absolutely hilarious and so well made. You guys into conspiracy theories may hate this, because it’s kind of making fun of you. But you should get over yourselves and enjoy this because it’s REALLY good. And in my opinion, this is about exactly how these conspiracy theories and exposes work.

A lot of people in the comments on the YouTube video page are going crazy about messing up facts (such as saying Wedge Antilles said, or pronouncing Alderaan, Alderbran), but I think it…

James Cameron ‘Avatar’ Update

James Cameron ‘Avatar’ Update
Russ Fischer - /Film

I’m working on ‘Avatar 2′ and ‘Avatar 3.’ I was talking the other day with Peter Jackson and said, ‘You had it easy dude. You had the books when you did the second and third ‘Lord of the Rings.’ I have to create my own books in my head and extract a script from it. I’m deep into it and I’m living in Pandora right now. There is that start up torque where you feel it’s coming to you. Then you build up momentum. That’s when it gets fun. The characters talk and it’s writing itself. I’m almost there right now. It’s building fast.

It’s almost impossible for me to care less about anything…

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ Featurette

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ Featurette

So, we’re less than two weeks away from the release of the greatest movie of the year!!! Oh, you don’t think so? Well, I might be exaggerating just a bit.

but it probably will be fun at least. This new featurette shows us a little bit of images and scenes we haven’t yet seen, featuring Channing Tatum and Dwayne Johnson. The upcoming film also stars Bruce Willis so we’ll at least have some decent humor (hopefully).

The film opens on March 28th.
