Last week, Disney CEO Bob Iger did a conference call with shareholders and one small piece of information he mentioned has yet to be discussed. Iger said that, over the next five years, Pixar has “fantastic original stories as well as some great sequels to their previous hits.” That’s “sequels,” plural, meaning there must be at least one more beyond Finding Dory. Read the full quote and speculate below.

I worry about Pixar because they seem to be getting “sequel-itis”, but at the same time, Iger did say they have “fantastic original stories” in development in addition to the sequels so…

Snyder has certainly taken a page from Nolan’s book on Man of Steel — well also the fact that Nolan is producing probably means something too — in regards to the shroud of secrecy, the cone of silence around the upcoming film. We look, and we beg, and we hope for crumbs and morsels of interesting tidbits, but they seem few and far between. I suppose that’s why I get a little excited with a trailer of any kind comes out, even if they are just short TV spots.

This first short TV spot from the U.K. seems to have a lot of action in it, and possibly just a wee tidbit of film we haven’t seen…

“We’ve devoted serious time and attention to revisiting the origins of Star Wars as inspiration for our process on the new movie, and I’m thrilled that returning to the UK for production and utilizing the incredible talent there can be a part of that,” said Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm. “Speaking from my own longstanding connection to the UK with films like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Empire of the Sun and recently War Horse, it’s very exciting to be heading back.”

If there’s truth to this statement about revisiting the origins of Star Wars as being their inspiration, and it’s…

Ready for what is now your near daily dose of Star Trek goodies?

Star Trek Into Darkness premieres domestically this week (is it Wednesday yet?), Wednesday night in IMAX, and Thursday night in theaters everywhere. I’ll be firmly planted in the seat of my nearest IMAX theater Wednesday at 8:00 PM, and if you follow me on Twitter, I’ll probably tweet my first impressions right after the show.

Interview with John Cho (New Sulu)

As far as goodies today, first up is an interview with “new Sulu”, John Cho on StarTrek.com.

John Cho had big shoes to fill on Star Trek (2009), assuming the…

Hey, this actually looks pretty interesting. Whether it actually will be or not is yet to be determined. Aside from Tom Hanks, I have not heard of anyone on this cast or crew list as far as I know, but the trailer looks promising. It’s based on a true story and is set to debut on the 11th of October. Check out the synopsis and the trailer:

The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years.

Giacchino has created a colorful, dramatic score for “...Into Darkness,” and he presents 22 minutes of it on this show. With Host/Producer David Garland, Giacchino discusses specifics about his score for the film, shares his thoughts about Star Trek’s enduring appeal, reveals how a fan’s Tweet inspired him to make a last minute revision to his score, and talks about his future projects and much more.

So I haven’t had time to listen to much of this, but it seems pretty good 5 minutes in. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any podcast feeds on this site or for this show (seriously guys, you…

I don’t have a lot of information about this film yet, but the official teaser trailer has been released. All I know for sure right now is that the film is set in space, it’s directed by Alfonso Cuarón (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star as astronauts trying to get back to earth after their shuttle is destroyed by debris, and that it looks like it could be good.

Here is the only official synopsis I can find at the moment:

Astronauts attempt to return to earth after debris crashes into their space shuttle, leaving them drifting alone in…

I think “irascible and cantankerous” but “with a heart of gold” easily describes the beloved character of Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy. Of all the things I like or don’t like about J.J.‘s take on ‘Star Trek’, Bones is definitely in like category. Karl Urban seems to almost channel Deforest Kelly in the ways that matter.

This is a brief character profile video on the good doctor, and it even has just a tiny bit of stuff we haven’t yet seen from the film (that I’m aware of).

“I think a career requires a certain amount of reinvention. If you get caught in one track I think that can be dangerous. Success has a dark side to it. you want to be careful if you’ve had success at something, that you not try and follow it by just duplicating it. That’s why I’m doing this Captain America thing.”

Knowledge we’d expect coming from such a veteran leading man, and a positive look at the comic book movie craze that would hopefully convince some more established actors to crop up in either DC or Marvel films in the future (Sir Ben Kingsley already has, but…maybe some…
