Walt Disney Pictures has debuted a new poster for Oz: The Great and Powerful, the first of three one-sheets that will combine to form a super triptych poster!

…

However, it isn’t clear if Theodora or Evanora turns into this green-faced character. Perhaps the next image will clear things up.

Hey, some non-Star Wars news. Here’s the poster.

Oh my gosh, what a shock that was! I had no idea that George was going to sell to Disney until I read it online like everybody else. He did tell us last summer about wanting to go on and do [Episodes] VII, VIII, and IX, and that [newly appointed Lucasfilm president] Kathleen Kennedy would be doing them. He seems to be in a really good place. He’s really happy. And that’s nice because I know that when we were making the movies, he was not a jolly guy on set.

Boy, there’s lots of Star Wars in the news right now. I’ll have to see if I can find some other stuff to talk about, but this is a…

/Film has a list of ten filmmakers who should direct the new Star Wars film and five who shouldn’t:

Keep in mind that these aren’t necessarily the names we think are the most likely to get the call, or that they’d even be interested in the gig in the first place. And of course, all of this is assuming that Disney actually wants to go with a big-name filmmaker — it’s certainly possible they’ll go with someone less established or more obscure. With that said, we’re still at the point where just about anything seems possible with this project. Why not fantasize a bit?

I’m not going to…

Some of the biggest Star Wars fans in the world are the Hollywood writers, directors, and producers who bought a ticket for a Jedi movie in the 1970s and 1980s. On Tuesday, as headlines announced a new hope for a return to Star Wars glory, those Tinseltown loyalists were hit by the Force all over again.

“All I can say is my heart literally started racing when I heard,” said Damon Lindleof, screenwriter for Prometheus. George Nolfi, writer-director of The Adjustment Bureau, said the horizon will need to be bigger to handle the colossal project taking shape there. “I can’t imagine,” Nolfi…

Were we pranked, or did Disney really just buy Lucasfilm and announce a new Star Wars trilogy? We decided to just assume it’s happening and record a live flash podcast about this unexpected turn of events.

Special guests Ben Boychuk, Dan Moren, John Siracusa, and Serenity Caldwell.

This week’s MovieByte podcast is going to be taken over by Star Wars talk, but in the mean time, here’s another geeky podcast full of Star Wars talk. It was a lot of fun to listen to.

It all started with a red puffy vest Cooper already had and a side comment from my husband about Marty McFly in late September. I’ve always loved Back to the Future, and love cars since I was little and grew up going to car shows with my Dad; what better way to tote my 1yr old son around on Halloween than in a transformed $25 Step2 push car I bought off of the kidsale alias at work? So, I spent a few weekends and nights in October recreating the iconic DeLorean with cardboard, tape, paint, and a little help with some EL lighting from my husband, Jeremy. The perfect costume for Cooper’s…

When it comes to choosing a presidential candidate, you have to think of what they’ll bring to the table. And if it’s a zombie apocalypse you want, then you should vote for Mitt Romney, according to filmmaker Joss Whedon.

The Avengers director released a spoof video endorsing the Republican candidate, saying, “Like a lot of liberal Americans, I was excited when Barack Obama took office four years ago. But it’s a very different world now, and Mitt Romney is a very different candidate.”

Why is he different, you ask?

That’s funny. I thought that the last few presidents have worked…

On Thursday, November 29th selected cinemas across the US and Canada will present two remastered episodes of TNG. The episodes include “Q Who” and the world premiere of the extended cut of “The Measure of a Man”, which will include an additional 13 minutes of footage.

I’m thinking about going to this just for the fun of it. Season 2 may have only been marginally better than season 1 (I believe I have said before on this site that TNG didn’t really start cranking out good episodes consistently until season 3), but the two they picked for this event are pretty fantastic and I would love…

So immersed was Daniel Day-Lewis in the role that he began sending Sally Field (who plays his wife in the film) text messages as if they were from Abraham Lincoln.

“I’d hear that twinkle-twinkle on my phone, and he would have sent me some ridiculous limerick,” Field told Time. “He’d sign it, ‘Yours, A.’ I would text back as Mary, criticizing him for the waste of his time when he might have been pursuing something more productive.”

There’s probably a good reason those two have 4 Oscars between them. It may sound silly to us, but staying in character is what enables them to do a good…
