Matthew Vaughn has decided not to direct the sequel to20th Century Fox‘s hit spinoff X-Men: First Class. Ready for the next shocker? Atop the studio’s replacement short list is Bryan Singer, who launched the X-Men feature franchise with the first two superb films and who has been a guiding influence in this spinoff by writing the treatment and producing. If this works out, Singer and Vaughn would essentially be switching roles. Vaughn, who wrote the treatment for the sequel for X-Men: Days Of Future Past that was scripted by Simon Kinberg, would step back to produce the film with Kinberg…

Get ready for laughs, explosions, and Bruce Willis… in Russia? You better believe it. And we are apparently going to meet John McClane’s adult son.

The music is also very reminiscent of the Die Hard early days. I like it.

Oh, and also, apparently the McClane family is “not a hugging family.”

Winrich Kolbe, director of nearly fifty segments of the 1980s-1990s Star Trek series, including the two-part final episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, has died at the age of 71.  Kolbe, who retired from directing in 2003, had left a teaching post at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2007, apparently due to illness.  His death, noted in the memoriam column of the November DGA Monthly, was not reported by any major news source or Star Trek fan outlet.  A family member, reached by telephone on Tuesday, confirmed that Kolbe died in late September but could provide few other…

Today we have 38 photos of Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer-directed Cloud Atlas movie.

It is adapted from David Mitchell’s 2004 novel of the same name and follows six stories ranging from the South Pacific in the 19th Century to California in the 1970s to a post-apocalyptic future, and most of the cast play multiple characters throughout the six stories, swapping race and gender in the process.

I’m becoming more and more convinced that I am not going to like this film. But in any event, click on through if you want to see the photos.

TJ welcomes Joseph back from being away for an episode on jury duty. They discuss the situation with Wally Pfister making jabs at ‘The Avengers’ Cinematography and story telling style — TJ is fired up for sure, then they talk about the video circulating of Stephen Spielberg and John Williams composing the score for E.T. which of course leads to a discussion about the era of filmmaking back in those days and why film is still a superior format, and they also discuss ‘Skyfall’ and some thoughts on the ‘Bond’ franchise as a whole. But the main topic today is ‘Atlas Shrugged Part II’ which naturally means a discussion of part I as well. They discuss the political philosophies present in this film, likes, dislikes, budgetary constraints, the fact that mainstream Hollywood does not like this movie for it’s politics, the poor story telling at times, the acting, the changing of actors for the second film, and much, much more.

The new film sees the Cullens bond together against the Volturi as the council of vampire elders come looking for their daughter, Renesmee. There stands to be quite the smackdown.

Directed by Bill Condon and co-starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, Breaking Dawn - Part 2 opens in the UK on 16 November 2012.

They are such a tease! Just when you thought that Emmet would beat Bella, *cut*. I guess now we’ll never know what happens, or we must watch the movie to find out. Yikes.

By the looks of it, the scene is shot in the same choppy/jarring way the other…

If you are looking forward to Wreck-It Ralph then you will enjoy this little featurette featuring John C. Reilly as Ralph, Jane Lynch as Sergeant Calhoun, Sarah Silverman as Vanellope von Schweetz, and Jack McBrayer as Fix-It Felix.

There’s also some stuff sprinkled through the video that we haven’t seen in the trailers yet.

Wreck-It Ralph comes out in theaters November 2^nd.

Joss Whedon has recruited ER alumna Ming-Na Wenfor one of the leads in his ABC drama pilot Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D., which he is co-writing and directing. The project, from Marvel TV and ABC TV Studios, is based on a peacekeeping group found in both the comic book and feature film universes, including the blockbuster 2012 movie The Avengers.Ming-Na will play Agent Melinda May. Soulful and slightly damaged by her combat experiences, Melinda is an ace pilot, a weapons expert and a soldier who can — and has — gone beyond the call of duty. The character was originally listed on the pilot’s…

One of the best casting additions to Fringe this season has been Georgina Haig playing Peter and Olivia’s daughter of fifteen years in the future. Anna Torv has been called Fringe’s Aussie beauty and the interesting thing about Georgina is that she is also from Australia. Anyone else notice a lot of good acting talent is coming out of Australia lately?

As with Anna, I cannot tell in the show that Georgina is Australian. In fact I didn’t know it until recently. That is pretty amazing to me as I personally cannot realistically simulate any other accent on my American english so to see these…
