Summit are really confident that everyone is going to see their big, juicy YA adaptation “Divergent” next month. Or they’re at least hoping that their confidence and premature announcement that a sequel is coming will encourage audiences to a buy a ticket. Either way, they’re making plans so that they’re prepared when “Divergent” becomes an (inevitable?) hit film. And they are pinning their hopes on the guy who directed “R.I.P.D.” to keep the franchise moving.

Yep, Robert Schwentke has bounced back from directing one of 2013’s biggest financial bombs and critical failures to get the gig…

“We start filming the next Avengers film at the end of March,” said Feige in the latest issue of Total Film mag’. ”[Black] Widow’s part in that is very big. We learn more about her past and learn more about where she came from and how she became in that film. The notion of exploring that even further in her own film would be great, and we have some development work with that.”

“We wanted to change the dynamic of the cinematic universe with this film,” said Feige of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. “We wanted Cap and really the entire cinematic universe to be very different at the end of…

Joe, Michael, and our first-time guest, Rusty, discusss Spike Jonze’s ‘Her’: the thought-provoking story about the relationships of Theodore Twombly. This lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with his computer’s OS that is designed to behave like a sentient being. ‘Her’ stars Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, and Chris Pratt.

Ooo, this looks really good.

You might not have heard of the director of this film, Wally Pfister (or perhaps you have), but you have almost certainly seen his work as a cinematographer under Christopher Noaln on films like Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, and Inception, to name a few. Now he’s stepping out and making a film of his own. I was skeptical of this film from the things I was hearing until I saw this trailer. But now I am totally in!

The story follows one, Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) who seeks to create sentient machines. This of course brings out the…

I’m having a hard time not looking forward to this film even though I kind of think it might not be any good. I mean it is being released in February which tells me the studio has no confidence in it. At the same time, it looks like it might be a mildly diverting little thriller. And it’s starring Liam Neeson. Who’s not up for that?

I hope it’s worth seeing because I have vague plans of seeing it.

Be careful! Chad might unleash “The Kragle”! In this episode we find out that no one is going to be taken in ‘Taken 3’. Seems like maybe they want to think about a name change then, doesn’t it? Of course Joe, having written a review of ‘Taken 2: Please Take it Back’ has something to say about all this. We also now know the start date of the principle photography for ‘Star Wars VII’. Joe may not be too excited about this, but Chad and TJ are. And then, Chad and Joe get all excited about ‘Back to the Future — The Musical’ coming in 2015. Yeah, they’re geeks. And before diving into the primary review of ‘The LEGO Movie’ the stupidity of Fox News Hosts must be discussed because it directly relates to ‘The LEGO Movie’. And the consensus on said film is that it was quite awesome.

The LEGO Movie may be a smash hit as it participated in the capitalist system of film and movies, but that doesn’t matter to this intrepid Fox anchor. As a matter of fact it kind of upsets him because of how anti-capitalistic the film is. I mean, just look at the name of the villain, it’s Lord Business. Therefore, the filmmakers are villainizing business and all of capitalism. Now that’s some deep analysis right there. That’s the sort of stuff that keeps me up at night worrying about what the Hollywood machine will turn out next. Maybe the next movie will feature Lord Capital, then their evil…

Almost no Bothan Spies were injured or killed bringing you this report.

At least, I hope that’s true. No one should get hurt over simply verifying some shooting dates, even on a film as highly anticipated as “Star Wars Episode VII: There’s Still Not A Title”.

Multiple sources now have confirmed for us that “Star Wars Episode VII” is set to start shooting mid-May and will run through September of this year, and most principal casting on the film is complete, with many announcements still to come. While Abrams had mentioned May during the TCA press tour and there had been speculation about…

Back when I was a kid — geeze, listen to me, don’t I sound old? Anyway…

When I was a kid I loved to play with my LEGOs. I built so many things with LEGOs that I couldn’t possibly remember them all. The thing that I almost always had built and never took apart was a construction that crudely resembled the (original) Starship Enterprise, but that’s another story. I will tell you that in the mid to late ‘80s and early to mid ‘90s, we didn’t have all these fancy LEGO contraptions that “kids these days” have. We had generic LEGO men, and we had bricks of differing colors and differing sizes and…
