I’m not much of a Shakespeare guy, and I still have no idea what this film is about and I’m not even sure I want to see it. But my wife assures me that I am not allowed to say things like that and that she most assuredly wants to see this film. Plus, you know, it’s Joss Whedon so maybe I’ll give it a chance. Still, this trailer doesn’t make it look all that interesting to me.

I don’t have a lot of information about how wide the release will be, but it’s slated for a June 7 release by distributor Lionsgate.

The UK release of J.J. Abrams‘ Star Trek Into Darkness has officially been moved up by a week to May 9 when it will go out in IMAX 3D, 3D and 2D cinemas. Paramount currently has the film set for a May 17 release in the States with IMAX 3D screenings on May 15. The shift has led some to wonder if the U.S. date may move to May 9 as well, but then what would happen to all those Super Bowl viewers who unlocked movie tickets for special early showings on the 15th? Simon Pegg, who plays Scotty in the film, just tweeted: “Looks like Star Trek Into Darkness will land in the UK first. Release date…

Still don’t know if this will be any good, but my interest is picking up a bit. A lot of star power has been brought to bear here as well with voices from Amanda Seyfried, Colin Farrell, Josh Hutcherson, Christoph Waltz, Beyoncé, Pitbull, Steven Tyler, Judah Friedlander, Aziz Ansari, and Blake Anderson.

The film is set to premiere on June 13.

Man this sounds really great! I cannot wait to hear it all. It is somewhat reminicent of the TRON: Legacy soundtrack, and in my mind, that’s a good thing. I love Legacy’s soundtrack.

Apparently, M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzalez is socring Oblivion with TRON: Uprising composer Joseph Trapanese so I suppose it should not be a surprise that there’s a bit of influence from TRON.

Give it a listen, it sounds great!

Interview 101, don’t talk about yourself, you’re here to talk with and about your subject. This guy needs to figure that out. But it still makes for hilarity. And Mila handles it in stride. Actually, she seems thrilled to be talking about something other than herself and her films.

Oh yeah, and is it football or soccer?

Of course, I almost have to wonder if this whole thing was staged and the kid wasn’t really nervous and completely screwing up because you think someone would have stepped in at some point. And he didn’t really seem that nervous actually. Ah well, watch it anyway.

Disney is going to continue the Star Wars saga, producing movies set to hit theaters starting in 2015. Can you confirm whether you’ll reprise the role of Princess Leia?

Yes. 

What do you think Princess Leia is like today?

Elderly. She’s in an intergalactic old folks’ home [laughs].

   I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle.

Kind of old news, but it was never confirmed before. Now it is. I have a feeling that the original cast will be there as more of a send off, but that’s just a working theory. I don’t think…

Here it is, the latest trailer for Iron Man 3, opening on May 3rd. I’m excited for this film and I can’t wait. It looks dark and menacing, but it also looks to have Tony Stark humor as well. What’s more important is that it looks like a far better film than Iron Man 2 was.

Particularly interesting to me is the way the scenes unfold in the trailer that lead up to this statement:

No politics here, just good old fashioned revenge

Of course, trailers can be cut together in deceiving ways and all that, but what does Tony Stark want revenge for? I have a theory, but I don’t want to spoil…

If it worked for Batman and James Bond, why not Lara Croft?

When the producers behind the now 17-year-old “Tomb Raider” videogame franchise considered options to breathe new life into the series, they turned to movies like Christopher Nolan’s “Batman Begins” and 007 adventure “Casino Royale” for inspiration.

The result is the simply titled reboot “Tomb Raider,” out today through Square Enix, that introduces a younger Croft (now 21) and sends her off on her first big adventure. The action and setpieces are amped up; the graphics are slicker to cater to a younger generation of…

I haven’t said much about the upcoming film Epic yet. It’s an animated film about a teenage girl who finds herself transported by magic into a secret universe in which she must join forces with a rag-tag band of whimsical characters to save their world and ours. I’m skeptical but it may be fun.
