Star Wars: Episode VII, directed by J.J. Abrams, is deep into production. It’s scheduled for a December 2015 release, which leaves little time in production years to complete one of the greatest film epics of our time. J.J.’s is a monumental assignment.

But if that were not enough, Disney and Lucasfilm have publicly declared they will release another Star Wars film every year for the foreseeable future. That means Star Wars: Episode VIII must be scripted at this very moment, or very close to it. That gives them 1.4 years to finish Abrams’ and 2.5 years to make the sequel from… Read The Rest

Everyone wants to see Iron Man (a.k.a. Robert Downey Jr.) suit up for another Marvel film. Personally, I would enjoy more super hero stuff with Downey, but I’m more interested in the rest of his career.

Mr. Downey and his wife co-produced their very own drama that hits theaters this October 10th. It’s The Judge, the story of a scrupleless lawyer (Robert), his judge father (Robert Duvall), and a tumultuous trial that charges not-so-dear-old-dad with murder. The Judge also stars Billy Bob Thorton, Leighton Meester, and Vera Farmiga.

Robert had some nice things to say about his film on…

Pixar’s Inside Out is scheduled for release June 19, 2015. This is the first time in more than a decade that Pixar has skipped a yearly release cycle.

The upcoming film is shrouded in mystery, as little is known besides a simple summary and the voice cast (no trailers available at this time).

It’s the story of eleven-year-old Riley, a girl in the Midwest that’s moving to San Francisco. It’s about her transition in a wave of new life experiences. It’s the new beginnings that Riley encounters that spur some inner growth, turmoil, and comedy. Pixar’s press release:

Like all of us, Riley is…

Refugees from Sudan come to America, and it’s ‘A Great White Cow’ Reese Witherspoon that’s picks them up at the airport.

Produced by the makers of The Blind Side, The Good Lie sheds light on trauma in war-ravaged African countries. It’s a story about two journeys: the American woman learning to care about people outside of her bubble, and the refugees’ new life in western civilization—away from their former torments.

Depending on what you choose to dwell on, you could perceive the film to be shallow for dwelling on the savior complex of this American woman. If you think the film is all…

Transformers 5, along with G.I. Joe 3, Paranormal Activity 5, Hansel and Gretal 2, and Beverly Hills Cop 4 are slated for release in 2016. Color me skeptical about all of the above, since the films in these franchises leave much to be desired. If you’re into these films, you and I would have some serious disagreements.

Why are we already hearing about these films anyway? Some of them haven’t started production—not so much as the first sentence has been typed for their scripts.

I think the reason is that the studios are beginning their marketing early because they cost bookoos to make. They…

The Lego Movie is going a little bit meta on us apparently. From what I understand, this is a clip that can be found somewhere on the upcoming Blu-ray release of The Lego Movie. Who knows exactly what it means, but I think we can assume that the Ninjago movie will be just as irreverent as The Lego Movie was. I also don’t know if this means we can expect it to be a merging in with and addition to the existing Lego universe that has been created? Not sure where they’re going with this but I’m sure we’ll find out soon.

There was once a time when Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini were deemed the right fit for a “Scooby-Doo” live action reboot. The results were actually pretty good (financially anyway), with the movie taking over $275 million worldwide. But by the time “Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed” came around (both movies penned by “Guardians Of The Galaxy” director James Gunn, FYI), audience interest had cooled, and the sequel committed the cardinal sin of earning less than its predecessor. And thus a movie franchise was dead. At least until now.

Warner…

“X-Men: Days Of Future Past” did what it was intended to: thanks to the all-star cast and surprisingly strong reviews, the film was by far the biggest hit of the series, with the film closing on $700 million worldwide, elevating it far above its predecessors, and justifying Fox’s decision to spend more money on the picture than any other film except “Avatar.” As such, the already-announced plans for “X-Men: Apocalypse” are moving forward at speed, and writerSimon Kinberg has just spilled some beans on it.

I just have to stop the quote and talk about how good it is to see X-Men back, and…

Filming for Batman v Superman: Days of Justice is still in its early days, but there have been a few interesting reveals to come from the set since production began last month. Beyond the LexCorp building, set photos last week revealed a mysterious and clearly unfinished Superman statue. According to Batman-News, the reported 15-foot tall structure is built in the Zack Snyder-directed film to celebrate Supes “saving the Earth” in Man of Steel. ”My source on set said that they held a big ceremony to unveil the big Superman statue,” explains the site. ”Batman v Superman takes place about two…
