The Original ‘Star Wars’ Prequel Plans

The Original ‘Star Wars’ Prequel Plans
Hugh Armitage - Digital Spy

“On his missions through the galaxies, Anakin has been going off doing his Jedi thing and a lot of Jedi have been getting killed - and it’s because they turn their back on him and he cuts them down.

“The president is turning into an Emperor and Luke’s mother suspects that something has happened to her husband. She is pregnant. Anakin gets worse and worse, and finally Ben has to fight him and he throws him down into a volcano and Vader is all beat up.

This sounds SOOOO much better than what we got. What happened? Where did it all go wrong? Why did Lucas…

Download a track from ‘Man of Steel’ Score Free with Ticket

So if you buy tickets to see Man of Steel on June 14 over on Fandango right now, you will receive a free download of one track from the upcoming film.

It may not be an earth shattering deal or anything, but it’s worth doing if you ask me.

I will say though that I already ordered my Man of Steel tickets and have not received my download code yet. The site did say to allow 24 hours for them to send it to my email. I want to listen so I hope they hurry.

If you want to take advantage, head over to Fandango and get your tickets.

Saoirse Ronan as The Scarlet Witch?

Saoirse Ronan as The Scarlet Witch?
Jill Pantozzi - The Mary Sue

The Mary Sue: You worked with Eric Bana in Hanna and he played the Hulk for Marvel. There was a rumor going around you’re Joss Whedon’s “prototype” for the character Scarlet Witch in The Avengers sequel. Did you hear anything about that and second, would you be interested in doing a superhero film ever?

Ronan: I have heard about it and yes, I would. Yeah, of course I would. I love Joss and I love those films, and I love his handle on them and how he portrayed these kinds of superheroes. I think it’s very different from what anyone else has done. So yeah, I’d love to be in it.”

Henry Cavill on a Batman/Superman Movie Possibility

Henry Cavill on a Batman/Superman Movie Possibility
ComingSoon.net

“I think it would be really interesting with the age-old Batman/Superman conflict,” Cavill told SFX“because they are two different sides of the same coin and their methods are entirely different. And I think it would actually make for an interesting story as to why, first of all, they were going head to head and how. I think that would make a great story.”

When asked if this is actually a possibility, Cavill replied:

“Who knows, I’m sure there’s all sorts of ideas being thrown around at Warner Bros right now.”

It “could” be interesting, and I’m given to understand that in…

‘Man of Steel’ Trailer 4

‘Man of Steel’ Trailer 4

This is not your daddy’s superman, that’s for sure.

This trailer starts with that business that went viral about the garbled message from General Zod, then it just gets crazy. This trailer is obviously meant to appeal to both those fans of action movies with lots of action, and I think also the comic book fans among us. I like a little action, but I am no comic book fan. Still, this trailer has a little bit of appeal, though I do hope they are over-selling the action a bit.

I do think that this version of Superman is going to be more serious, General Zod will be more menacing, and…

Someone Sure Hated ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

Someone Sure Hated ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’
Rob Bricken - io9

After making a mere $84 million at the U.S. box office, Star Trek Into Darkness is considered by some to be a disappointment. Perhaps the problem is that it was a touch confusing. To help our readers better understand it, we’ve complied and answered these Frequently Asked Questions about the movie.

Maximum spoilers ahead…

I have to admit, as much as I do not agree with the perspective of this article, I had a lot of fun reading it. I laughed, and I laughed, and I laughed. Then my wife wanted to know what I was going on about, so I had to start over, reading it to her, and we both…

The Science of ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

The Science of ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’
Kayla Iacovino - TrekMovie.com

So, by now, we’ve all seen Star Trek Into Darkness. Some of us loved it, some of us hated it, some of us said, “meh.” But, forget about what you thought of the movie for a second. What did you think of the science? Let’s take a more in depth look at some of the most sciencey moments from STID. It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyways, that this review contains SPOILERS!!!

Prepare yourself, most of the good news and stuff that I’ll want to post today has to do with Star Trek. It’s a hot topic right now and it will pass, but I’m in nerd heaven.

Anyway, Kayla has cool analysis of…

Whedon Will Not Make Things Easy for The Avengers

Whedon Will Not Make Things Easy for The Avengers
Eric Goldman - IGN

When I brought up Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch to Whedon, he confirmed they were the characters in question, explaining, “You know, they had a rough beginning. They’re interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn’t necessarily agree with The Avengers. So they’re not there to make things easier. I’m not putting any characters in the movie that will make things easier.”

Not being a comic book nerd, I really don’t know who these characters are, but I’ll take his word for it and let you comic booky types get all excited about this. I have my nerdy…

‘NuEnterprise Refit’ - For the Nerds Among Us
Anthony Pascale - TrekMovie

SPOILERS!!!!!!

NO REALLY

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED:

But if you have seen the movie you know that in the end the ship makes it through (it was the USS Vengeance that takes a dive into San Francisco Bay). But the USS Enterprise is certainly not spaceworthy after the battle above Earth. The final scene of the movie jumps forward almost a year after that battle with a ceremony to ‘re-christen’ the USS Enterprise. We then see the crew on the bridge as they set off on their new five-year mission and then the ship warps away. While the bridge itself appeared to be exactly the same, if you looked…
