Bond 24 and 25 to “Build on Skyfall”

Bond 24 and 25 to “Build on Skyfall”
Matt Looker - TotalFilm.com

Talking to IGN, Logan said of the next Bond outing: “My goal is to write a great movie that’s appropriate, to build on what we did on Skyfall, but make it its own unique animal.

“The themes, ideas and the characters from Skyfall can obviously continue on, because it is a franchise, and it is an ongoing story. So I think there’s resonance from Skyfall in the new movie.”

I mean, that’s fine as far as I’m concerned. Skyfall was quite obviously the best of the new Bond films and if they can keep making them better and better it’s quite alright with me.

Jennifer Garner Says Affleck’s Batsuit Is a “Total Reinvention”

Entertainment Tonight caught up with the actress on the SAG Awards red carpet. ”I’ve seen the suit,” said the former Elektra star. “The suit is unbelievably cool. It’s a total reinvention. It looks great.”

Unfortunately, Garner didn’t get into details on how, exactly, Affleck’s Batsuit would differ from earlier ones. But so far, pretty much everything we’ve heard indicates that the Batman vs. Superman costumers are trying to move away from Christian Bale’s look in the Christopher Nolan movies.

Because the desire to differentiate one’s self always leads to the best creative works…

‘Batman vs. Superman’ Pushed to 2016

‘Batman vs. Superman’ Pushed to 2016

The summer of 2015 just got a tiny bit less crowded. Variety reports that Warner Bros. has just pushed the Man of Steel sequel from July 17, 2015 to May 6, 2016. The new date pits the Zack Snyder-helmed film directly against an as-yet-unnamed Marvel Studios project, though in all likelihood one or the other will move before then.

Joe Wright‘s Peter Pan origin tale will now move into the July 17, 2015 slot, having previously been slotted for June 26, 2015.

I know some of you will be dissapointed by this news. I’m actually happy about it. 2015 was feeling really crowded. One less big film…

‘Star Trek’ At the Oscars

‘Star Trek’ At the Oscars
TrekNews.net

J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek Into Darkness”, which was released in theaters last May, has been nominated for an Oscar Award for Best Visual Effects.

The team that worked on the VFX for the film include Roger Guyett, Patrick Tubach, Ben Grossmann and Burt Dalton. “Star Trek Into Darkness” will be competing against “Gravity”, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug”, “Iron Man 3″ and “The Lone Ranger” for the prized gold statue.

That’s nice. It had decent effects but there’s no way it wins over Gravity, or even The Desolation of Smaug.

Scarlett Johansson on ‘The Avengers: The Age of Ultron’ Script

Scarlett Johansson on ‘The Avengers: The Age of Ultron’ Script
JoBlo

“Well, we can expect the Avengers. Joss [Whedon], again, is back, wrote the script, and is directing. I think the script is dark and it’s dry, it’s got this amazing one-liner, glass-cutting sense of humor. Obviously the script is very cerebral. It doesn’t lose that exciting comic book aspect that people enjoyed in the first film, but it’s smart and it feels like the next installment. It doesn’t feel like a rehashing, it feels like these characters are moving forward, plotlines are moving forward. It’s deep and I think that’s why people really respond to the Marvel universe, because the films…

Gravity Returns to Theaters
Dave Trumbore — Colider.com

After winning a Golden Globe for Best Director, Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity will be returning to theaters this weekend. In case you missed the buzz-worthy sci-fi thriller, you’ll now be able to experience it on the big screen.  It’s no coincidence that the 86th Annual Academy Awards’ nominations list will be unveiled this Thursday either.  As Adam has expressed in his Oscar Beat column, Gravity, its director, and star Sandra Bullock will likely be up for some major awards.

That’s right folks, the best movie of 2013 is coming back to theaters because, well, it deserves it! If for some reason…
