‘Thor: The Dark World’ Deleted Scene — Promo for Home Video Release
Marvel.com

Thor and his mother, Frigga, discuss Loki’s situation in a new deleted scene from Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World”! Catch all the deleted scenes along with behind-the-scenes featurettes and more when “Thor: The Dark World” hits Digital 3D and Digital HD February 4 and 3D Combo Pack, Blu-ray and DVD February 25!

I like it. Thor the Dark World was certainly one of the better non-Avenger Marvel films and I’ll be glad to watch it again in the comfort of my home! And this scene feels like it should have stayed in the film anyway.

[spoiler alert]

Also, geez guys, way to remind us how much pain…

Vin Diesel Says Next ‘Riddick’ Film is In Development

Vin Diesel Says Next ‘Riddick’ Film is In Development
ComingSoon.net

“I’m just excited, and happy, and I’m shouting out to you guys to say thank you. Universal just called me and told me Riddick is number one on the DVD charts. There’s no way Riddick would have been made without you guys. You know that. and you guys have been a part of our page since 2012 and remember how arduous a road it was to get the movie made, and to make it rated ‘R,’ and to do it with such a low budget. It’s a win for all of us and I really, really thank you so much. Yeah, I’m excited, and of course, Universal also says they want to develop the next one.”

Okay, I suppose that’s…

Paramount Will Make an Exception to “All Digital” for ‘Interstellar’

Paramount Will Make an Exception to “All Digital” for ‘Interstellar’
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

The LA Times reports that Paramount will release both digital and film versions of “Interstellar” when it hits cinemas last this year. And it’s not really a big shock. Of course, the filmmaker has long been an advocate of celluloid, and, naturally, his latest is being shot on 35mm with IMAX utilized for some sequences. So from a technical standpoint it makes sense, and, frankly, the cost of striking prints is worth it to keep someone like Nolan happy, and hopefully in your studio corner for years to come. But Paramount teases that other movies and directors might get a break as well.

I…

Anthony and Joe Russo Will Return for ‘Captain America 3’

Anthony and Joe Russo Will Return for ‘Captain America 3’
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

Variety reports that the Russos will be back for the inevitable “Captain America 3.” Of course, there are no details beyond that, but the trade notes that test screenings on ‘Winter Soldier’ have gone so well, Marvel wants to get a third installment with these guys going as fast as possible. And while there is no screenwriter just yet, the Russos are apparently already putting together a story arc for the third movie. And although there’s no official release date, Marvel is currently sitting on two dates in 2016, and one in 2017. Could they be hoping to get the next movie done in time to…

JJ Abrams on ‘Star Wars’ Secrecy

JJ Abrams on ‘Star Wars’ Secrecy
Alex Maidy —  JoBlo

After the bungled “is he/isn’t he” reveal surrounding Benedict Cumberbatch‘s John Harrison/Khan character in STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS put a hole in J.J. Abrams trademark secrecy surrounding projects he has directed or produced, many have been left wondering whether or not he would employ the same with STAR WARS: EPISODE VII. With Disney and Marvel very open and timely with their news surrounding superhero movie news, can Abrams do the same with Lucasfilm’s pride and joy?

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Abrams was asked about how his history of playing things close to the vest will…

Carrie Fisher Expects to Start Filming ‘Star Wars VII’ In March or April

Carrie Fisher Expects to Start Filming ‘Star Wars VII’ In March or April
Sean O’Connell — CinemaBlend.com

While speaking with TV Guide about the upcoming Big Bang spot, she revealed that she, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford are expecting to start working on J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: Episode VII in March or April. Wha wha wha?! Not only that, she elaborated on the look she hopes to sport in the sequel:

“I’d like to wear my old [cinnamon buns] hairstyle again — but with white hair. I think that would be funny.”

Now, this is the closest thing we’ve seen to an actual confirmation to Fisher, Hamill and Ford appearing in Abrams’ Star Wars movie, even though the tea leaves have suggested the…

Paramount is Ending Film Print Distribution

Paramount is Ending Film Print Distribution
Ben Brock — The Playlist

Over the weekend, the LA Times reported something that many had expected, but hoped not to hear: that the first major studio — in this case, Paramount — was going all-digital and ending distribution of actual, physical film prints. Though they didn’t announce it at the time, “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” was the last Paramount film for which 35mm prints were shipped (way to go out on a high?), while “The Wolf of Wall Street” became their first all-digital affair (an irony, given that Martin Scorsese is a passionate defender of old formats and old filmstock). It also feels significant…

Younger Audience Gives ‘Jack Ryan’ the Cold Shoulder

Younger Audience Gives ‘Jack Ryan’ the Cold Shoulder
Pamela McClintock - The Hollywood Reporter

The fate of Paramount’s marquee spy franchise has been thrown into question following the soft debut of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit at the North American box office, where the action thriller failed to connect with younger audiences unfamiliar with author Tom Clancy‘s iconic character.

Director Kenneth Branagh‘s reboot, starring 33-year-old actor Chris Pine and in a bid to relaunch the series, opened to a soft $18 million over the long Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. More than a third of the audience was over the age of 50, while only 15 percent was under 25, according to exit-polling service…

Federal Agents Take Man Out of Theater for Wearing Google Glass

Federal Agents Take Man Out of Theater for Wearing Google Glass
Russ Fischer - /Film

Because I don’t want Glass to distract me during the movie, I turn them off (but since my prescription lenses are on the frame, I still wear them). About an hour into the movie (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit), a guy comes near my seat, shoves a badge that had some sort of a shield on it, yanks the Google Glass off my face and says “follow me outside immediately”. It was quite embarrassing and outside of the theater there were about 5-10 cops and mall cops. Since I didn’t catch his name in the dark of the theater, I asked to see his badge again and I asked what was the problem and I asked for my…
