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…

JJ Abrams: ‘Star Wars VII’ Script Done, Will Shoot on Film

JJ Abrams: ‘Star Wars VII’ Script Done, Will Shoot on Film

J.J. Abrams hit the Television Critics Association’s press tour Sunday to promote his upcoming NBC show Believe, and after his panel reporters pelted him with Star Wars: Episode VII questions. What did he say? Not much, but here’s what we got:

The script is done: “We’re working really hard and we’ve got our script and we’re in deep prep. Full steam ahead.”

What’s the length? Abrams wouldn’t go there. “I promise you it will be movie length.”

Well, whether good or bad, the script is done and we’ll know soon when it comes out in the coming eternity which way it will go.

Abrams says he…

‘300: Rise of An Empire’ Trailer 3

‘300: Rise of An Empire’ Trailer 3

If you want to see a film about vengence and violence, then Zack Snyder’s upcoming 300: Rise of an Empire may just be the right film for you.

Also, I never knew before the slow motion filmography could actually be its own character in a film, but it appears according to the trailer that Snyder has accomplished just that.

A lot of peopl really loved the first 300 film and it brought in a lot of money, so a sequel was inevitable. and it doesn’t look like an altogether bad sequel at that — at leaset not so far.

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”

Jennifer Garner Says Affleck’s Batsuit Is a “Total Reinvention”
Angie Han - /Film

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…

Okay,…

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit — Review

3 of 5 stars
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

This is not the Jack Ryan you may know from the books, and this is not the Jack Ryan you may remember from the four previous films. This film is a reboot and an origin story — because that’s what you’re supposed to do these days. I don’t think anyone over at Paramount could tell you exactly what motivated this film to be made other than the vague idea of hearing the ringing of the cash register as the ticket sales poured in. But unfortunately that sort of motivation does not usually produce the most compelling of stories.

I must confess that despite my love for the four Jack Ryan films that…

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Episode 13 Promo

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Episode 13 Promo

I will continue to maintain that if you don’t like this show we probably can’t be friends. I really don’t get what everybody doesn’t like about this show. It’s really fantastic and it’s just getting better and better. This week’s episode was great where Colson gets to deal with what’s been going on in his past and dig up what’s going on with Skye’s past.

And keep your eyes open for a special Marvel guest start in this trailer!

‘Veronica Mars’ Getting a Web Series

‘Veronica Mars’ Getting a Web Series
Cain Rodriguez

USA Today reports (via Indiewire) that CW—aka the network that cancelled the show—has worked out a deal with Thomas to bring the Neptune universe to the web in the form of a spinoff web series for the network’s CW Seed site. Right now details are sketchy, it could be anywhere between six to eight episodes lasting between five and ten minutes apiece.

Who would this series follow? Well, apparently Thomas was cagey with the network in the meetings leading up to the decision with CW head honcho Mark Pedowitz saying of the show creator, “He talked a little bit but it wasn’t locked in; he talked…

‘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…
