The career of Gareth Edwards is one that would make a film school student envious. His first film, “Monsters,” was a labor of love, made on a shoestring budget, with the VFX largely done a laptop. The result? A solid indie highlighting a director with a real sense of mood and craft. That effort found him leveraged into the blockbuster “Godzilla,” and no matter what you thought of it, the movie was a huge smash, opening last weekend over $90 million at the box office. So what does Edwards do next? He’s doing to Disneyland. Kinda.

THR reports that he’ll direct one of the upcoming “Star Wars”…

You’ll have to excuse the titles and subtitles that are not in english as this is an international trailer, but this particular trailer is showing us some tings we haven’t yet seen and I’m loving the look of it. This looks like the film I want from the Wachowskis. I hope they don’t do to this franchise what they did to the Matrix franchise in the second and third films, but we won’t worry about that just yet. This looks fantastic.

Roger Ebert is easily the greatest film critic who has ever lived. The world of movie criticism would look a lot different if he had not been involved and he brought a special voice to that world.

This film explores Ebert’s life and you better believe I’ll in watching this soon when it comes out on July 4th.

Warner Bros has officially announced that Zack Snyder’s Batman vs. Superman movie will be titled Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. The Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice title is obviously playing upon the announced Justice League follow-up. Principal photography starts today in Detroit, MI.

I really hate they are going for a V instead of “Vs.” and also the “Dawn of Justice” subtitle makes it feel like how Marvel Studios titled Captain America: The First Avenger to get people to see the film, billing it as the prequel to the big superhero team-up. But did they really have to do that kind…

JJ Abrams is looking to put one of us fans on the big screen, and would like to give us a tour of the set. That’s all cool and everything, and by entering you’re supporting charity (I do not know what all this organization supports and have not vetted so do your research and donate on your own morals and understanding), but let’s talk about this video.

The big deal is that it looks like he’s using a lot of practical effects and pracitals aliens and whatnot. This is good because if there’s a big complaint with George Lucas’ prequels, it’s that he went a little bit crazy with the CGI.

And of…

TJ and Chad review ‘Godzilla’ — though there will be those who would like to disqualify them from reviewing a film in a franchise where they have never seen any of the previous films. But TJ and Chad think they have something to bring to the table and so they do. They also discuss the rumor that Alfanso Cuaron may direct the ‘Harry Potter’ Spin-off ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ and whether or not that’s a good thing, possible Blu-ray release of the unadulterated original ‘Star Wars’ films, the new title for the upcoming Batman/Superman crossover film, comic book franchise wars and people being truly stupid, and more!

Andy Serkis has made quite a name for himself in the motion capture industry. It started, of course, with his motion capture work for Gollum. Back in those days, motion capture had to be in a much more controlled environment. Now he’s actually acting with other actors. It’s pretty crazy stuff.

The technology involved, the craft in filmmaking, the skill with which Serkis performs are all incredible and fascinating to me.

Check out the video.

But don’t worry, they’re sending Wolverine back in time to make sure Brett Ratner never happened.

Love it! I think they got pretty much everything in this trailer right… even as much as I love the first two X-Men films, I love a good Honest Trailer, and this is a good one.

So it seems Colin Firth is branching out a little in his latest film because now he’s a secret service agent who’s all about the action. That is just not the sort of thing I associate Firth with… but then, when I think of Colin Firth, I think of Pride and Prejudice. Now, I do like that version of Pride and Prejudice to be sure, but this new role for Colin Firth just seems a little strange is all.

And yet, I really liked this trailer. It looks like just the right combination of wit and humor formy taste. Time will tell, but I’d like to see this.
