Writing Star Wars

Writing Star Wars

Funny or Die has this pretty awesome video depicting what it must or might be like for Michael Arndt to try to write something good for Star Wars. I certainly don’t envy him, he’s got a tough act to follow — the original three are hailed as great, the three prequels are hailed as absolute garbage, and his job is to make something that will please and appease everyone.

Yeah… good luck with that.

 

Gwyneth Paltrow Thinks ‘Iron Man’ Is Done

Gwyneth Paltrow Thinks ‘Iron Man’ Is Done

Well, shoot. That’s no good if true.

In an interview with Geek Nation, Gwyneth Paltrow made us all cry tears of grief and rage when she said, “I don’t think there’s going to be [an ‘Iron Man 4’]. I think we’re done with ‘Iron Man.” We await word to see if the studio, producers, and other filmmakers involved agree with that.

But all around that sad little bit of news is a great, fun, and geeky video that you should take the time to watch!

Joss Whedon Talks ‘Avengers 2’ and ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’

The guy is chatty! I like this! I mean, when is the last time you saw Christopher Nolan in an interview like this being so cool and nice? Don’t get my wrong, I love some Dark Knight franchise from Nolan, but this is way more fun.

So in this fun little thing, Yahoo! Movies had the opportunity to ask Joss a few questions, chat it up a little, find out about The Avengers 2, the status of the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show, oh and also, he loved Iron Man 3 and thought Shane Black did a phenomenal job, which gives me great confidence that Iron Man 3 is going to be awesome because I trust Joss’ creative…

Character Profile, Captain Kirk

Character Profile, Captain Kirk

Paramount has a character profile of Captain Kirk for us to feast our eyes upon while way wait (impatiently) for the film to come out.

Kirk is obviously going to have some major things going on in this film, some attitude problems he needs to deal with — he needs to learn how to be the captain that we used to know in the original series. So JJ Abrams and Chris Pine talk us through that struggle a little bit. Plus, film footage, behind the scenes, etc. Check it out.

More ‘Galaxy Quest’?

“It’s complicated,” he told Flavorwire. “I can’t get into it because it only gets me angry, because I’m so proud of that movie.

“For a while there, and someday we may actually get there, we actually talked about doing a television show which would be sort of fun because it would be a TV show looking at a movie that’s looking at a TV show, something like that.

I’d certainly watch more Galaxy Quest. Some have been known to say it’s the best Star Trek film that never was. While I don’t quite agree with that, it is an awesome comedy film making fun of Star Trek and the like and I would…

‘Avengers 2’ Teaser Attached to ‘Iron Man 3’

‘Avengers 2’ Teaser Attached to ‘Iron Man 3’
Yahoo India

Mumbai, April 22 (IANS) The teaser of “Avengers 2” will be released with “Iron Man 3” Friday.

“It’s true that the teaser of ‘Avengers 2’ is being attached to ‘Iron Man 3’. It is a double attraction for the fans of superhero films because they will get to see what ‘Avengers 2’ has in store along with the action-packed ‘Iron Man 3’,” said a source.

For some reason, India is getting the film one week before we do here in The States, and I hope this is not some India only thing, but that we get the teaser too. It seems a little odd since The Avengers 2 is so far away, but you never know…

Homemade ‘Star Trek’ Trailer

Homemade ‘Star Trek’ Trailer

The guys at CineFix have done it again. This is not a remake of the most recent (and final) theatrical trailer. I don’t remember for sure, but I think they trailer they are remaking here is theatrical number 2?

In any event, as before, this is pretty awesome! Be sure to see the first one they did if you haven’t yet.

Here’s the trailer:

And here’s the side by side comparison video so you can see how well they replicated each shot:

Clark Gregg Talks Agent Coulson Return

Clark Gregg Talks Agent Coulson Return

Coulson lives! Long live Coulson!

This much we know at least for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but the method by which Coulson will be returning is going to have to stay mysterious unfortunately. But that doesn’t mean that Clark Gregg doesn’t have some things to say about it.

I don’t know how you could not change going through what he went through in The Avengers. I think if he hadn’t gone through some kind of change, it wouldn’t be any good. That said, I don’t know if he understands how much he’s changed.

...

Some level of deception must have been perpetrated on the Avengers.…

M83 - ‘Oblivion’ Title Track Live

If like me you enjoyed Oblivion quite a bit, and also found the soundtrack to be top notch, then you might be interested in checking out this video of M83 performing the title track of the film live on Jimmy Kimmel.

They were joined by award winning Norwegian singer Susanne Sundfør. I enjoyed watching this performance immensely. It’s an amazing performance from an amazing soundtrack.

Don’t forget that you can stream the entire ‘Oblivion’ score right here on MovieByte.com and get a feel and taste for the whole film.

‘Iron Man 3’ Behind the Scenes

Iron Man 3 hits the theaters on May 3rd, but if you are like the rest of us and are looking for just about anything you can get your hands on in anticipation of this film, then you will want to check out this 6 minute long behind the scenes video. No talking, no interviews, just raw behind the scenes footage of stuff happening on set.

As far as I can tell there aren’t any spoilers or anything like that. Everything appears to be either non-important, or things we already know.

Check it out!
