Disney head Bob Iger dropped a big piece of news offhandedly during the Disney Investor’s Meeting today, stating that Brad Bird is working on the story for The Incredibles 2 and that Pixar is also working on a new Cars movie.

No surprise with the Cars sequel; I’m sure they will continue that franchise until it runs out of gas and stops making them money in toy stores and at theme parks. The Incredibles sequel, on the other hand, is big news, and fans should be excited that Brad Bird is involved.

Well it’s about time! I mean, another Cars film: meh. The Incredibles: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY…

I suppose by some measures of time, it was long overdue for someone to take advantage of this franchise. I can’t say I’m particularly excited about the money machines getting ahold of this one, but I have to say the teaser trailer does definitely get me excited about this film.

I wasn’t, and I’m still not too sure about the idea of a CGI 3D animation of The Peanuts, but I suppose I’ll give it a chance. I mean, IT’S SNOOPY! Look at him! And Good Grief Charlie Brown!

I’ve finally seen The Muppets (2011), and it was pretty good. So I’m looking forward all the more to Muppets Most Wanted. There’s not a seriously serious thing about any of The Muppets shows or films and maybe that’s what I like about it — getting away from the seriousness.

In any event, this clip shows us exactly what kind of humor and fun we can expect from Muppets Most Wanted and it looks like a hoot.

The Wolverine director James Mangold has confirmed he will return to direct the sequel, which he will begin shooting after X-Men: Apocalypse opens in cinemas in 2016.

We’ve known for a while that Mangold was in talks to write the treatment for the sequel, but this is the first we’ve heard of his involvement as a director. As is so often the case these days, Mangold dropped the news on Twitter.

That should be fun. The Wolverine was a fairly good film and I was happy with all but the (all important) ending. So bring it on! Exciting stuff happening in the X-Men world.

At the 3D Creative Summit in London, Pixar’s director of 3D production Josh Hollander revealed that the company is planning three-dimensional re-releases of basically all their popular movies. “Right now we’re working on ‘The Incredibles,’ which is a lot of fun in 3D. I’m not sure what the release strategy for it will be,” he said, adding: “We have a version of ‘Ratatouille,’ which works really well in 3D and we’re trying to figure out exactly what the release strategy for that will be.”

Oh good, because you know I was thinking just the other day, “wouldn’t it be great if some of my old…

The Marshmallows turned out in droves this weekend to check out the theatrical debut of Veronica Mars. The Kickstarter-funded, cult TV show adaptation opened to a cool $2 million from 291 theaters (265 in the U.S.), earning the pic a spot on the top 10 according, to initial estimates.

The PG-13 pic was also released simultaneously on VOD — free for Kickstarter backers who’d contributed $35 or more to the record-breaking campaign, but also available for purchase or rental through digital download services such as iTunes or Amazon. The industry has not gotten into a mode where they share VOD…

The campaign to revive Veronica Mars delivered a number of cool things—an enormous number of new Kickstarter users and, lest we forget, a full-length motion picture of a deeply loved TV series that arrived Friday. But the movie’s arrival introduced something else to Veronica Mars fans: their first interaction with the UltraViolet video locker service, the method the movie’s distributors are using to fulfill the downloads promised to people who backed the movie on Kickstarter. It’s been ugly, to say the least.

UltraViolet is the worst of the worst when it comes to studios trying to keep…

When Captain America: The Winter Soldier hits theaters April 4, be on the look out for Tony Stark’s Avengers Tower. As a hidden Easter Egg.

At the end of The Avengers, the Stark Tower was decimated, leaving only the “A” as a tease of what’s to come. There was also a brief scene where Stark is clearly seen working on an Avengers Tower. In Iron Man 3, Stark never visits New York as he’s plenty busy in California, Tennessee and Florida but that doesn’t mean the tower hasn’t been under construction. Speaking to /Film, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige told us the completed tower makes a…

Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o has met with, and may sign on for, a key role in J.J. Abrams‘ Star Wars Episode 7. The 12 Years A Slave star reportedly is “extremely close” to playing a role not related to the original trilogy. It may be a Sith or a descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

When calling Nyong’os representatives for comment they said, “We’re not allowed to talk about that.” If there’s a “that,” that’s all we needed to know.

I’ll just leave this right here…
