If you have not seen the film in theaters, this is a good time to make up for that sin.

Dying Fan Gets Private Screening of ‘Star Trek’

Dying Fan Gets Private Screening of ‘Star Trek’
NextMovie

For most fans, of course, the delay has been just a minor irritant. But for one fan named Dan, it was something more, as Dan has been diagnosed with a non-treatable form of cancer. On Christmas Day, his friends and family took to the internet, posting his story on Reddit, with one plea: Help get Dan an advance screening of “Star Trek Into Darkness.”

And for director J.J. Abrams, that was one request he couldn’t deny.

“It was truly amazing that a filmmaker so secretive as J.J. Abrams was kind enough to show this to us,” Dan’s wife posted a few days ago. “It is also so wonderful for his…

‘House of Cards’ Trailers
Netflix

Ruthless and cunning, Congressman Francis Underwood (Oscar® winner Kevin Spacey) and his wife Claire (Robin Wright) stop at nothing to conquer everything. This wicked political drama penetrates the shadowy world of greed, sex, and corruption in modern D.C. Kate Mara (“American Horror Story”) and Corey Stoll (“Midnight in Paris”) costar in the first original series from David Fincher (“The Social Network”) and Beau Willimon (“The Ides of March”).

Well, it appears Netflix has wised up a little bit. You might remember when I initially posted about the new Netflix exclusive TV Series House…

Hayley Atwell Won’t Appear in ‘Captain America 2’

Hayley Atwell Won’t Appear in ‘Captain America 2’
/Film

The character Captain America has had a couple of prime love interests, most prominent being Peggy Carter, encountered in his “pre-freeze” days in the ’40s, and Sharon Carter, originally written as Peggy’s sister, but later turned into her niece, when Cap is revived in the present. (Whatever “the present” happens to mean, depending on when the story is being told.)

Hayley Atwell played Peggy in Captain America: The First Avenger, and did a wonderful job with the role. Various story elements, however, including the fact that Cap now lives in our present, meant that Peggy wasn’t likely to…

Interview with Ming Na About ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’

Interview with Ming Na About ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’

Ming-Na Wen Talks the new S.H.I.E.L.D. televisions show, The Avengers director Joss Whedon, the Marvel Universe and about how the show will not stick with normal comic canon with AMC Theatres.

Fun stuff. Still really looking forward to this show. Joss Whedon rarely disappoints! And though I know this may be blasphemy to some, I’m glad to hear they won’t be sticking too closely to any comics. The best comic adaptations to the screen have strayed pretty far. I think it’s because the comic book format just doesn’t translate well to the screen.

It’s official — we have reached the era of the billion dollar Bond!

Tom Hiddleston May Not Return for ‘Avengers 2’

Tom Hiddleston May Not Return for ‘Avengers 2’
TotalFilm.com

Having quietly stolen the show in Thor with his conniving villainy, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki was a worthy adversary for the Avengers in their big-screen debut earlier this year.

However, despite the character’s undoubted charisma and boo-hiss nature, Hiddleston thinks it unlikely that he’ll be returning to the Avengers sequel in 2015.

“I don’t know, and that really is the honest answer,” said Hiddleston when asked whether he would be returning. “I suspect not, only because I think that probably the audiences are tired of Loki being the bad guy. Maybe the Avengers need somebody else…

Hugh Jackman Reveals ‘The Wolverine’ Timeframe

Hugh Jackman Reveals ‘The Wolverine’ Timeframe
FilmoFilia.com

You want to get me into trouble, don’t you? (laughs) Okay, the movie takes place after X-Men: The Last Stand. My character is at his lowest. He is supposed to be able to heal himself, but he may encounter someone who has worked out a way to really hurt him.

I remember that Last Stand ended with Magneto discovering that he hadn’t completely lost his powers. I guess Wolverine would be shattered after having to kill Jean Grey/Phoenix, so I suppose the new movie will see him doing some soul searching in Japan.

Jackman added,

And there is a cameo from one of the past X-Men in it.

Abrams Turned Down ‘Star Wars VII’
TrekMovie.com

Half (2 out of 4) of JJ Abrams feature filmography as a director is dedicated to Star Trek, however he has admitted that when he was a kid, Star Wars was ‘more his thing.’ Even so, last month we reported that Abrams said he was not interested in helming the upcoming “Episode VII” Star Wars film (due out in 2015). Now, in a sidebar in the new issue of Empire Magazine, Abrams reveals more about how he was approached by Disney, and why he said ‘no’…

“There were the very early conversations and I quickly said that because of my loyalty to Star Trek, and also just being a fan, I wouldn’t…

Yes, that is GLaDOS’ Voice in ‘Pacific Rim’ Trailer

Yes, that is GLaDOS’ Voice in ‘Pacific Rim’ Trailer
PC Gamer

Yep, that’s Ellen McLain lending a perfectly replicated GLaDOS voice to the computer systems of Pacific Rim’s mega mechs. Someone—perhaps even del Toro himself—on the film crew is an avid Portal fan and decided McLain’s modulated tones jives perfectly with punching giant beasts in the face. Considering everyone’s favorite evil AI wouldn’t ever get caught actually helping humans, that’s an impressive feat.

I was right.
