I feel the need, the need to open my copy of Final Draft: a potential sequel to “Top Gun” has been gestating for awhile, with the project officially going into development a few years ago, with Peter Craig (“The Town”) penning a script, and original director Tony Scott and star Tom Cruise said to be returning. But the project ground to a halt two years ago when Scott passed away, and little’s been heard since.

But it looks like something’s happening: The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the Skydance and Jerry Bruckheimerhave hired a new writer for the project, one Justin Marks. The scribe…

There are exactly 298 days until Terminator: Genisys. That means you have 298 days to accept the fact that it’s spelled Genisys. 

The first film in Paramount’s rebooted franchise will get a July 1, 2015, release, with the final two films hitting theaters beginning in the summer of 2017, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The second film will be released on May 19, 2017, with the final film hitting theaters on June 29, 2018.

Oh yay, I’m so excited. See this face, this is my, “I’m so excited face”.

When you think of Adam West, what’s the first thing you think of? That cheesy, cheesy Batman series from the 60s of course. For many, many of the middle aged to older folks in our culture, Adam West is Batman (for better or worse). We can argue about who has played the role best over the years, but there is no doubt that the name of Adam West is recognizable, and in many ways, iconic.

That’s why I’m interested in seeing this film.

I can’t decide whether I’m looking forward to this film or not. But I am keeping an eye on it in any event. It certainly looks grand and epic. Obviously the director of Gladiator directing this picture is interesting in theory. But I also know I will be extremely hard to please with a Biblical film. As with other Biblicaly based films, I will attempt to judge it on two levels, 1). is it a good film — does it tell a good story and is it fun and engaging? and 2). how does it measure up to the Biblical tale?

Here’s a featurette where Mr. Scott talks about the film a little and we get to see…

Let me help you get even more excited for November 7th. That’s the date that Disney will release Big Hero 6 into theaters. I’m quite optimistic about this upcoming film. Marvel is involved as well — I mean, Marvel is owned by Disney, but they have maintained their own identity and operations. And they are working with Disney on this animated comic book film. I believe we are going to see the fingerprints on it. Additionally, remember that Disney has been putting out better animated films than Pixar. I have no proof, but I believe this is directly related to John Lasseter​ taking over at…

Warner Bros. has set Machete Kills screenwriter Kyle Ward on their upcoming Michael Bay-produced adaptation of concept artist Daniel Simon’s book Cosmic Motors. The book, subtitled “spaceships, cars and pilots of another galaxy,” is described on Simon’s official site as follows:

Come explore the vehicle designs of a far away galaxy called Galaxion where futuristic concepts exist in everyday life. Nine different spaceships, pods, race cars, giant trains, warships and balloons from various planets of the Galaxion system are shown from concept to completion. Daniel Simon is an established…

Each successive Spider-Man movie has earned less at the box office than the previous entry, calling into question the theory that audiences want more of the same. Despite this, THR reports that Lakeshore Entertainment has decided to go down a similar path and reboot the “Underworld” series.

The vampires-vs-werewolves franchise is perhaps now best remembered for giving Kate Beckinsale fangs and machine guns, thereby turning her into an action star. Of course, film fans will always remember the series for spawning director Len Wiseman and unleashing him upon the world. To date, “Underworld”…

Yes, I can see the date on this video and I know it’s been out for a while. Frankly I have no idea how I missed it because it looks FANTASTIC! Obviously, for starters it stars Benedict Cumberbatch who has a range that goes from really, really good, to FREAKING AWESOME!. He looks to be tipping the scale more towards the latter in this trailer.

The film is about Alan Turing who helps crack the Enigma code during World War II. Just watch this trailer and I dare you not to come away excited for this film, which comes to theaters on November 14.

After taking a hiatus for several weeks from filming, J.J. Abrams has resumed production on “Star Wars: Episode VII” in the U.K.

The break was taken for holiday in August when many Europeans take time off, and also allowed for Harrison Ford to recover from the broken leg he suffered while filming in May. In July, Disney released a statement saying that production would pause “while adjustments to the current production schedule are made.”

Not that this is really news. Star Wars is in production. They took a break during an injury. Now they’re back. But I have to mention it because, HEY,…
