‘Star Trek “3”’ Could Be Out for 50th Anniversary (2016)

‘Star Trek “3”’ Could Be Out for 50th Anniversary (2016)
Germain Lussier - /Film

J.J. Abrams‘ first Star Trek movie was released in 2009 and it’s taken four years to get its sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness, into theaters. With the director now moving on to Star Wars Episode VII, many have questioned will happen with the Trek franchise. Producer Bryan Burk has provided a possible answer.

...

Bryan Burk: We’re definitely talking about the next one, but we haven’t talked about a release date. We don’t want to wait four years, the same amount of time between the last one and this one, but it’s going to be a big year to celebrate, hopefully.

Hey, I have an idea,…

Joss Whedon Talks ‘Star Wars’

Joss Whedon Talks ‘Star Wars’

Joss Whedon mentioned Star Wars!!!! OMG YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, wasn’t it in the back of all the fan boys’ minds that it would be fun to see Joss direct a Star Wars film? I mean, he would have been interested if not for his commitments to The Avengers 2.

So recently, Joss talked for about 10 seconds about Star Wars saying that he wouldn’t go back, he’d go forward and he wouldn’t want to have the original characters in the film. So put me in the category that I’m glad he’s not doing it then. Yes, yes, I know. But what I want to see is a send off for the first of…

Sam Raimi Doesn’t Plan to Direct ‘Oz’ Sequel

Sam Raimi Doesn’t Plan to Direct ‘Oz’ Sequel
Coming Soon

Oz The Great and Powerful is now in theaters, arriving just after yesterday’s news that Walt Disney Pictures has brought aboard Mitchell Kapner to draft a sequel. In an interview with Bleeding Cool, however, director Sam Raimi reveals that he doesn’t plan on making a return visit to Oz.

“I haven’t planned on directing the sequel,” Raimi says. “I did leave some loose ends for another director if they want to make the picture… I was attracted to this story but I don’t think the second one would have the thing I would need to get me interested.”

Well, that’s kind of too bad. I liked Oz…

New ‘Upside Down’ Clip.

New ‘Upside Down’ Clip.

I don’t know, I am strangely looking forward to this, but I have this feeling I’m going to be greatly disapointed.

In this clip, Adam appears to be escaping with Eden to his side of the two worlds. Adam is played by Jim Sturgess, and Eden by Kirsten Dunst. The film opens on March 15th, but only to limited theaters, which will be annoying.

Ever since Adam and Eden fell in love as teens, their bond has faced astronomical odds. They are separated by a freak planetary condition: they live on twinned worlds with gravities that pull in opposite directions—he on the poverty-stricken planet…

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Teaser Trailer #2

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Teaser Trailer #2

This is the trailer that I saw attached to Oz the Great and Powerful. I have to admit I’m liking the looks of this film. I still figure it will be more flash and stule and less substance than I care for (my favorite Star Trek film, and even one of my favorite all time films is still Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn), but I think (think) this is going to be better than the previous Star Trek film my J.J. Abrams. It doesn’t really look like I’m going to get my wish for less lens flares thoough. Like I said, J.J. likes to go for the flashy, whiz-bang and his movies are often the worse for it.
