Steven Speilberg’s been hard at work to bring to us another award-winning biopic. This time, what with Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln, he is bound to create quite a buzz with the film and stir up age-old controversy and worship for the 16th president of these United States of America.

It’s practically impossible to imagine that Lincoln will not reflect a highly subjective viewpoint of Abe. Some will be very happy with the American spirit and glorification of their “patron saint of freedom.” While one would expect history buffs to be the target audience of Spielberg’s film, it’s…

Shot in just 12 days while Whedon was finishing up The Avengers, this version retains the Bard’s dialogue but moves the action to contemporary LA. (Specifically, Whedon’s own house.) Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof star as Beatrice and Benedick, acquaintances whose prickly banter signals an obvious compatibility. Other Whedon favorites fill out the rest of the cast: Fran Kranz, Nathan Fillion, Sean Maher, and Clark Gregg. Read more of the early buzz after the jump.

I love how Whedon has a sort of casting pool he draws from. Alexis Denisof and Amy Acker played Wesley Wyndam-Pryce…

If you find yourself in the year 2036, living in a society ruled by chrome-domed, fedora-favoring overlords, and you want to take a drive to see your Aunt Ethel in the next town over, you’d be well-advised to first heed this latest edict from Fringe‘s Captain Windmark, your not-so-friendly Observer mouthpiece.

And here’s the first one in case you missed it a few days back.

Do you need to catch up on the lip-biting, deep staring, glittering glory of The Twilight Saga before the release of the franchise’s last installment?

Heh.

Rest assured, dozens of theaters throughout North America will be screening a marathon of all four films in the series on Nov. 15. And to accommodate high demand,The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 will be released a day ahead of schedule in select theaters at 10 p.m. The film will be released globally the following day on Nov. 16.

Well, there it is if you want a chance to see the films in theater again.

If you don’t want to know anything about where some of the footage from Skyfall, the latest James Bond film, fits into the narrative, it’s best to skip this behind the scenes video. Because this is the one where director Sam Mendes talks about shooting the film’s opening pre-credits action sequence. In doing so, he places quite a bit of the footage we’ve seen so far, and explains what’s really going on. For those who want to know more now than later, hit the jump for the video.

Alright, alright, I guess I’m going to have to see these new Bond films. I must admit that I have never been a…

The 75th annual Hunger Games are on!

Lionsgate announced Monday that The Hunger Games: Catching Fire has officially started production in and around Atlanta, Ga., with director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) at the helm, before moving to shoot in Hawaii. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are, of course, reprising their respective roles as winning tributes Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark; Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Stanley Tucci, and Donald Sutherland are all also returning, with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Claflin, Jeffrey Wright, Jena Malone,…

TrekMovie has confirmed with multiple sources that “Star Trek Into Darkness” has been selected as the title for the 2013 sequel to JJ Abrams’ Star Trek movie. This is a title that comes out of a long process of discussion amongst the creative team. As reported earlier, Paramount tested a number of titles for the film over the summer, including at least one title that did not include “Star Trek.” Also noted in our earlier article, the title (by design) does not include a colon, like were used for the Next Generation films such as “Star Trek: First Contact” or “Star Trek: Nemesis.”

Fringe showrunner J.H. Wyman is taking a particularly hands-on role in ushering the show into the sunset by directing the series finale. But when that sci-fi swan song will air is up for debate.

Earlier this week, Wyman himself told a fan on Twitter that the series finale would air Feb. 1, 2013. Fox declined to confirm that date; sources tell TVLine the finale will air sometime after Jan. 1, however.

...

All told, Wyman envisions and is structuring Fringe’s farewell tour “as a 13-hour feature film type of thing, like a saga, because I feel that’s the best way to tell the…

Read The Rest

Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s Twilight. But please, let me explain.

When I was younger, I used to read quite a bit. I was never really the “ravenous” reader, but I read a lot. As I grew up and started working, started making money, and started a family, my time for reading became almost none existent. But a few years ago I discovered a new way to read — audio books.

My wife was a long time fan of the Harry Potter books and she got me into it by getting me the audio book for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I was hooked. I listened to the entire series during my commutes, on trips, and…
