Well, it’s here. Paul Walker is actually featured quite prominently in the trailer. Given that, if memory serves, he still had a lot of filming left to do when he passed, I’m not sure how that’s going to work out, but he’s certainly in the trailer — a lot.

I don’t want to say too much disparaging about Walker’s last film, and I certainly didn’t hate the previous film as much as I thought I would, but I don’t expect this to be cinematic excellence any more than any of the other films in this franchise. It will be, I’m sure, all about over the top action, crazy premises, and family. The…

THR reports that Christian Bale has bailed on the movie, citing “conflicting feelings” and the ultimate realization that “he was not right for the part and decided to withdraw.” While the exact nature of Bale’s concerns aren’t yet known (maybe he felt bad doing the movie after David Fincher,who first courted him for the project, departed), the actor is due on the press circuit soon for “Exodus: Gods And Kings,” so he’ll surely be asked about this matter. It should be noted that the actor was never technically signed on.

Well, that’s kind of a bummer. While I have been sort of unsure about…

THR reports that Scott will produce the miniseries “3001: The Final Odyssey,” based on Arthur C. Clarke‘s novel, for Syfy. So in other words, this is a sequel to “2001: A Space Odyssey” (well, technically it follows “2010,” but still). And in case you’re wondering, this project has the full backing of the author’s estate as well as that of Kubrick’s.

Tasked with writing the script will be Stuart Beattie, who to his credit has Michael Mann‘s “Colatteral” on his CV. But mostly, Beattie’s fimography is cluttered with stuff like “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” “G.I.…

Interstellar releases THIS WEEKEND! Obviously the hype generating machine wants to give us just a little bit more of a taste and really whet our appetites.

In these two clips, there appears to be a dust problem on earth that is affecting people’s lungs, and our astronauts are trying to learn when to talk and when not to. Also honesty is maybe not always the best policy? Over sharing, perhaps?

Is it the weekend yet?

Joan Clarke appears to have impressed Alan Turing in this clip from the upcoming film, The Imitation Game. Turing seems to think rather highly of himself saying that whatever problem he has set forth is impossible to do in the allotted time because he himself takes longer to do it. It would seem Clarke is faster than he is.

I’m looking forward to seeing this on November 21st!

It sure seems like Hydra has been particularly troublesome for Marvel lately. They keep leaking stuff. Now they’ve leaked an exclusive clip from Avengers: Age of Ultron that was mean for attendees of their big event only. But a camera was obviously smuggled in and out and now we have the clip. It’s a video of the screen and the quality isn’t great, but you know you want to watch it anyway.

There is definitely a growing rift between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers here. Could this be the prelude to the Civil War story line of Captain America 3?

I do have a quibble with this clip — in fact I see…

The final hours of waiting are upon us. In just over 20 days, we’ll get to lay eyes on the beginning of the end of Katiniss’ struggle against the tyrannical Capitol of Panem. Those of us who have read the books are hoping that Francis Lawrence and his writing team can bring a bit more cohesion and sense to the story. But I have a lot of hope after the great film that was The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

The other thing of course is that, while the story is fantasy, it sometimes seems to have haunting familiarity as we look upon our own society. No allegory is ever a one to one match, but…

“The Avengers films, ideally, in the grand plan are always big, giant linchpins,” Feige said. “It’s like as it was in publishing, when each of the characters would go on their own adventures and then occasionally team up for a big, 12-issue mega-event. Then they would go back into their own comics, and be changed from whatever that event was. I envision the same thing occurring after this movie, because the [Avengers] roster is altered by the finale of this film.”

It’s an intriguing comment, particularly given what Robert Downey Jr. shared with Screen Rant about the ending of the…

The upcoming Paddington feature film took a bit of a set-back when Colin Firth left the project. Apparently neither party felt that his voice was working for the bear or the context of the film. But this is apparently a job Q (from James Bond) can handle. Ben Whishaw, who plays Q opposite Daniel Craig’s Bond, is now voicing the fanciful bear in the latest trailer for the film, which is scheduled ot hit U.K. theaters on November 28, and U.S. theaters on January 16 of next year.

In addition to Ben Whishaw, the film stars the likes of Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim…
