‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ Featurette

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ Featurette

So, we’re less than two weeks away from the release of the greatest movie of the year!!! Oh, you don’t think so? Well, I might be exaggerating just a bit.

but it probably will be fun at least. This new featurette shows us a little bit of images and scenes we haven’t yet seen, featuring Channing Tatum and Dwayne Johnson. The upcoming film also stars Bruce Willis so we’ll at least have some decent humor (hopefully).

The film opens on March 28th.

Pepper Potts in a Suit?

Pepper Potts in a Suit?
Frank Digiacomo - MovieLine

If you’ve  read about the Iron Man 3 footage that Marvel Studios has shown to bloggers, then you know that, during the Mandarin’s helicopter attack on Casa Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) ends up flying to safety in one of the armored suits. It sounds like a cool scene, and I won’t be surprised if it’s a set-up for another later in the movie. But I’m not so thrilled about Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige’s recent comments that Potts could suit up for her own adventures in future Iron Man installments.

Why? I think it’s a great idea. I would love to see…

Bryan Singer as Next Star Trek Director?

Bryan Singer as Next Star Trek Director?
Anthony Pascale - TrekMovie

X-Men and Superman Returns director Bryan Singer is a fan of Star Trek and was even involved in a possible pitch for a Star Trek series which was shelved once it was announced JJ Abrams had taken on the task of rebooting Star Trek. Now that there is talk of a Star Trek movie for 2016 and with JJ Abrams set to direct the next Star Wars movie due in 2015 many are assuming that Abrams (while returning to produce) will not be in the director’s chair for the next Trek.

And so when IGN was recently speaking to director Bryan Singer they brought up the issue of Trek. Singer is no stranger to…

‘Dumb and Dumber’ Sequel

‘Dumb and Dumber’ Sequel
Emma Dibdin - Digital Spy

“We’re talking about it,” Carrey told Access Hollywood. “Jeff [Daniels] and I are really excited about it and hopefully next year we’ll be able to do that.”

Carrey reportedly dropped out of the sequel last summer, but Daniels confirmed two months later that the film would go ahead with both he and his co-star attached.

Carrey and co-director Peter Farrelly have both expressed interest in casting Emma Stone in Dumb and Dumber To.

WHY WHY WHY??? Why can a movie like this get made? Why must the box office get plugged up with this sort of stupidity.

This is why we can’t have…

3 Clips from ‘The Host’

3 Clips from ‘The Host’

I’m liking the look of this film as a sci-fi thriller and have at least a little hope that it might be fun and entertaining. I haven’t seen anything really off-putting about the film yet. And I do love a good Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

This film is an adaptation of the nove from Stephanie Meyer of the same name. Hopefully that won’t put you off if you are not a big fan of her other work, there are no sparkly vampires to be found here.

‘Veronica Mars’ Just Changed the Film Business

‘Veronica Mars’ Just Changed the Film Business
Russ Fischer - /Film

Collectively, the fanbase sent a thundering message to studios. It said, loud and clear, that it will give up large sums of money, with no traditional investment ties, to fund a geek-oriented project. There will very likely be further developments in what could be known as the Mars model, with other producers and studios attempting to find similar fundraising success. As the Veronica Mars counter ticked quickly up to $2m, we watched the business change in real time.

This is a smart piece and great read from Russ Fischer and it’s worth taking the time to read. There are both pros and…

Oblivion Featurette

Oblivion Featurette

If you want to learn a little more about Oblivion and possibly some spoilers, this featurette looks like it might be your ticket. There’s definitely some new information here and it brings a little clarity to the plot of the film (which is always muddy in trailers).

This featurette includes director Joseph Kosinski and Tom Cruise as well as previously unseen footage from the film.

Jack Harper is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission…

More to Cumberbatch ‘Star Trek’ Villain

More to Cumberbatch ‘Star Trek’ Villain
TrekMovie.com

Officially Benedict Cumberbatch’s villain in Star Trek Into Darkness has been identified as John Harrison, a “terrorist” from “within Starfleet.” But that hasn’t stopped speculation that there is more to him than that. And in an interview with the LA Times, co-writer/producer Damon Lindelof seems to confirm there is more to the character, even joking ““Benedict doesn’t even know who he’s playing.” More seriously, Lindelof explained why they are being tight-lipped about Harrison….

“The audience needs to have the same experience that the crew is having,” Lindelof explained. “You’re Kirk,…

‘Oz’ Sequel Won’t Involve Dorothy

‘Oz’ Sequel Won’t Involve Dorothy
Russ Fischer - /Film

But producer Joe Roth says the Great and Powerful sequel “would absolutely not” involve Dorothy.

Roth said as much to the LA Times, and screenwriter Mitchell Kapner added “It’s 20 years before Dorothy arrives,” he said. “A lot can happen in that time.”

There’s a hint in Oz the Great and Powerful that one character seen in Kansas is related to Dorothy, with the suggestion being that she’ll eventually be the girl’s mother. From there it’s easy to guess that Disney was paving the way to introduce its own version of Dorothy. But that may have to wait for a third film, assuming such a thing…

‘Thor 2’ Trailer Attached to ‘Iron Man 3’

‘Thor 2’ Trailer Attached to ‘Iron Man 3’
Scott Johnson - ComicBook.com

However, what is really interesting about this Spanish promotional poster is the tagline at the bottom. The text at the bottom translates to say, “Also enjoy an exclusive preview of Thor The Dark World.” Since Iron Man 3 opens in some countries as early as April 26, 2013, it means fans will definitely see a Thor The Dark World trailer in April.

In the United States, Iron Man 3 doesn’t opens until May 3, 2013, so it might be May before U.S. fans get to see the Thor The Dark World trailer. However, it’s also possible that Disney might decide to release it early online like they did with…
