While the anticipated sequel (well, anticipated by nerds) to “Tron: Legacy” remains a thing that might happen atDisney (though we think with their slate full of Marvel movies and “Star Wars” sequels, it’s probably not a big priority), director Joseph Kosinski is looking at some other options for his follow-up to this spring’s sci-fi “Oblivion.” And it looks like he wants to enter another dimension…a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind.

THR reports that he’s signing the paperwork to helm the long-brewing “The Twilight Zone” for Warner Bros.

I know, quite…

If that thunderous reception in Hall H was any indication, Loki, the villain of Thor and The Avengers, is every bit as popular as any of Marvel’s do-gooders. Unfortunately, since he’s not a hero, there doesn’t seem to be much place for him in The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Even Tom Hiddleston has admitted that his character has nothing else to “contribute to The Avengers, narratively.”

But Alan Taylor has heard the cries for more Loki, and is happy to fill that need in Thor: The Dark World. The director revealed in a recent interview that the film is now going in for reshoots, not because…

I thought for sure I had posted this trailer on the site already, but I can’t locate it. To rectify that, I have it embedded below. This actually looks like the sort of film I could get into if it’s done right. And certainly I think at this particular period of time in our world, the theme of every single thing being recorded, and privacy violations can resonate deeply, even if it’s not the main point or theme of the film. As an underlying story, as part of the whole, I think it will play into people’s feelings and paranoia.

And in any event it looks like there might be a good story to tell…

Neill Blomkamp, the South African director who came to prominence in 2009 with “District 9,” has only just released his new film “Elysium,” but already he’s talking up his next one. The folks over at the LA Times have put together various interviews and press releases to give us an idea of what the project, “Chappie,” will be like: and that idea is, basically, ” ‘RoboCop’ but hilarious.” Tell us more…

“Chappie,” co-scripted by Blomkamp’s wife Terri Tatchell, who also wrote “District 9,” is described by Blomkamp as, “If you mixed ‘RoboCop’ with ‘E.T.’ and it was… funny, that’s what it…

The actress, who returns as Jane Foster in the upcoming Marvel sequel Thor: The Dark World, gave a strong hint about the series’ future.

Asked about co-star Anthony Hopkins’s comments that he wants Thor to continue, Portman told E! Online: “Yeah, well I think they are going to make a Thor 3, so I think Anthony will be pleased.

The emphasis on the word “they” is mine but I think it’s indicative of where they may have taken the character of Jane Foster for Thor 2. But if that is so, I still say they have been way to open with it in the trailers. I still think there may be more there than…

This trailer has a really strange tone to it, and I’m not entire certain what the film is about completely. I had to look it up to get a more complete picture. Apparently it’s based on a book published in 2004. Fifteen year old Elizabeth is sent to stay in England during the third world war, but apparently England isn’t far enough away from the war and become occupied territory.

This trailer does not make the material look particularly riveting, but I certainly enjoyed Saoirse Ronan’s acting in The Host, so perhaps it’s worth giving this film a chance.

Today is a day for rumors, it seems. This latest one, though, has nothing to do with either Star Wars: Episode VII or the casting of Batman in Batman vs Superman. Instead, there’s a rumor circulating the tubes of the Internet that Hugh Jackman has been offered $100 million to reprise his role as Wolverine in four more Marvel movies.

Say what now? FOUR? Yes, four movies in which Jackman – who has already played the clawed immortal seven times – will reprise the role that he’s most famous for. Now, we’ll grant that this rumor actually comes to us via The National Enquirer, which is not a…

Jedi News is claiming that a source has told them that Ian McDiarmid will be back as Emperor Palpatine in the new film:

(Do I really need to put a spoiler tag for events from the original STAR WARS trilogy? Well just in case, this is your warning. There’s also details about the STAR WARS expanded universe, so you might want to avoid that too.)

The specifics of the role are unclear, but it seems likely that McDiarmid will be returning to his signature role of Palpatine. Whether as the original or a clone of, we are yet to discern.

I’m not that familiar with the expanded universe for STAR…

As a fan of The Hunger Games book series, one of the films I am most looking forward to this year is Francis Lawrence’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Returning of course are Jennifer Lawrence as Katnis Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark. And we’ll also be introduced to several new cast members, Sam Claflin as Finnick, Lynn Cohen as Mags, Jena Malone as Johanna, Amanda Plummer as Wiress, and Jeffrey Wright as Beetee. If you are familiar with the books, you will recognize these characters. They don’t get much screen time in the trailer, unfortunately, but I would assume we’ll see…
