TrekMovie has confirmed with multiple sources that “Star Trek Into Darkness” has been selected as the title for the 2013 sequel to JJ Abrams’ Star Trek movie. This is a title that comes out of a long process of discussion amongst the creative team. As reported earlier, Paramount tested a number of titles for the film over the summer, including at least one title that did not include “Star Trek.” Also noted in our earlier article, the title (by design) does not include a colon, like were used for the Next Generation films such as “Star Trek: First Contact” or “Star Trek: Nemesis.”

Fringe showrunner J.H. Wyman is taking a particularly hands-on role in ushering the show into the sunset by directing the series finale. But when that sci-fi swan song will air is up for debate.

Earlier this week, Wyman himself told a fan on Twitter that the series finale would air Feb. 1, 2013. Fox declined to confirm that date; sources tell TVLine the finale will air sometime after Jan. 1, however.

...

All told, Wyman envisions and is structuring Fringe’s farewell tour “as a 13-hour feature film type of thing, like a saga, because I feel that’s the best way to tell the…

Read The Rest

Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s Twilight. But please, let me explain.

When I was younger, I used to read quite a bit. I was never really the “ravenous” reader, but I read a lot. As I grew up and started working, started making money, and started a family, my time for reading became almost none existent. But a few years ago I discovered a new way to read — audio books.

My wife was a long time fan of the Harry Potter books and she got me into it by getting me the audio book for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I was hooked. I listened to the entire series during my commutes, on trips, and…

Days after his empty chair speech made Clint Eastwood a polarizing symbol of the Republican National Convention, hometown paper The Carmel Pine Cone scored an exclusive follow-up with the 82 year-old former Mayor. His explanation? He made it up on the fly moments before taking the stage. You don’t say! “They vet most of the people, but I told them, ‘You can’t do that with me, because I don’t know what I’m going to say’... There was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if I wanted to sit down. When I saw the stool sitting there, it gave me the idea. I’ll just put the stool out there…

The release date of Season 2 of Star Trek The Next Generation has been released to retailers, which means the word got ’round quickly to the Internet. The release date is now known to be December 4th in the U.S.A.

Awesome.

Also awesome is this:

The highlight of the extras are “hybrid extended” and full HD extended versions of the episode The Measure of a Man recreated from original elements.

Audio commentary on the extended The Measure of a Man with writer Melinda Snodgrass, director Robert Scheerer, and Mike Okuda.

The first two seasons were real hit and miss in finding the…

I must confess that I have not seen any Game of Thrones but I keep hearing good things so I want to see it.

HBO has been pretty stupid about how it makes Game of Thrones available. The first season is on iTunes now so that’s probably my door in. I hope to dig into it soon.

But, even though I know nothing about Game of Thrones, I just had to post this video because it was too cool to pass up. I mean, Lindsey Stirling. Need I say more? If one of you all watches or is familiar with Game of Thrones, feel free to add some intelligent commentary in the comments.

“I don’t suddenly turn into a warrior,” says Stewart in this exclusive look at one of the behind-the-scenes features on the upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman Blu-ray (out this Tuesday, Sept. 11). “She hasn’t learned how to fight, and she doesn’t want to.”

Blu-ray comes out tomorrow. This was a great film and I’m looking forward to seeing it again.

We open this week’s column with a bit of visual splendor: a first look at Season 5, which premieres Sept. 28. In this exclusive image from the final season’s first episode, titled “Transilience Thought Unifier Model 11,” you’ve got circa-2036 Peter, Astrid and Etta checking out a block of amber from which, it appears, at least a few people have been sawed out. Could it be that Olivia, too, was ambered for twentysome years? “You’ll have to wait and see,” showrunner Joel Wyman hedged during our fall preview Q&A. “If she got ambered, if she’s the same age, if she’s not…. You’ll have to wait…

Fascinated and confused by that six-minute trailer for Cloud Atlas that hit the internet in late July? Well, there’s a new theatrical trailer for the Wachowski/Wachowski/Tykwer head-trip odyssey that strives to package the movie’s narrative flourishes — multiple timelines, lofty themes, Tom Hanks completely breaking the bank on his wig budget — into a relatively more manageable two and a half minutes. Plenty of new footage awaits you, so watch the trailer below!

The trailer on Entertainment Weekly was pulled from YouTube due to copyright infringement claim (what else is new?).…
