James Cameron Spills Beans on How Schwarzenegger Can Be In New Terminator

James Cameron Spills Beans on How Schwarzenegger Can Be In New Terminator
Matt Singer — The Dissolve

“I wasn’t interested in producing it or working on it actively, but I did want to put in a good word for Arnold. I pointed out that the outer covering (of the Terminator) was actually not synthetic, that it was organic and therefore could age. You could theoretically have a Terminator that was sent back in time, missed his target, and ended up just kind of living on in society. Because he is a learning computer and has a brain as a central processor he could actually become more human as he went along without getting discovered.”

You’ll forgive me, I assume, if I say that this Terminator:…

Early Buzz Says ‘Big Hero 6’ Is Another Winner From Disney Animation
Germain Lussier — Film

November 7 brings two of the biggest movies of the year. First is Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar and the second is Disney Animation’s Big Hero 6Interstellar has only screened for a very small selection of people but Big Hero 6 is starting to roll out. Thursday night, the social media embargo on the film broke and the Twitter reactions began.

The early verdict based on about a dozen opinions? Disney Animation has another hit on their hands.

Great to hear. I’m really looking forward to this one.

‘Pacific Rim 2’ Begins Filming in 2015 And Leads Right In To ‘Pacific Rim 3’

‘Pacific Rim 2’ Begins Filming in 2015 And Leads Right In To ‘Pacific Rim 3’
Angie Han — /Film

With an April 7, 2017 release date already locked in, it’s no surprise Guillermo del Toro is deep into work on Pacific Rim 2. What’s a bit more intriguing is that he’s planning the movie with an eye on the sequel, the not-yet-greenlit Pacific Rim 3.

Whereas Pacific Rim 2 is expected to differ quite a bit from Pacific Rim 1, it seems 2 and may be more closely linked.

On the one hand, Pacific Rim was a fine film and Guillermo del Torro did a fantastic job with it. Like my friend Fizz said on episode 52 of of The MovieByte Podcast where we talked about Pacific Rim, it was as if every time…

CBS Launches Subscription Streaming Service

CBS Launches Subscription Streaming Service
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

Should Netflix be looking over its shoulder? Yesterday, HBO made the surprise announcement that in 2015 they would be launching a stand-alone streaming service. But today, CBS beat them to punch by launching CBS All Access, which for the low price of $5.99/month grants access to almost everything the network has to offer. The key word here being “almost.”

It’s good to see an older content provider like CBS being drug kicking and screaming into the 21st centry. That said, I can’t see why I would pay for this. I’m already paying three companies for access to content — Netflix, Hulu, and…

‘Miss Medows’ Trailer Starring Katie Holmes

‘Miss Medows’ Trailer Starring Katie Holmes

Well this isn’t creepy at all. Not a bit. WAIT YES IT IS!

Some has said that she’s playing a Pulp Fiction version of Mary Poppins in this film. Whatever, she’s scary. But it appears maybe not altogether in a bad way? It’s a little unclear at this point. It seems she’s more of a vigilante.

Katie Holmes has come a long way from Dawson’s Creek and one certainly does not think of a badass when they think of Holmes. That may be what makes this trailer most effective — seeing sweet Katie Holmes turn a bit… deadly!

The film makes it’s appearance on November 14th.

3 TV Spots For Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar

3 TV Spots For Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar

It’s Christopher Nolan, and it’s sci-fi, so what could go wrong?

Well given that I don’t think his last two films were up to what I consider the level of his best work, I don’t know what could go wrong. Hopefully nothing. It looks really good and until proven otherwise I’m going to believe it is really good.

The film comes to theaters on November 7.

Brad Bird On Why He Passed Up Directing ‘Star Wars 7’

Brad Bird On Why He Passed Up Directing ‘Star Wars 7’
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

“For a moment there, I thought it would work out to do ‘Tomorrowland’ and go right into it, [but then I realized] it wouldn’t work,” he explained. “There was no way to make that schedule and give this film the attention it deserved. I know it’s going to be terrific and everything, but I’m really happy to do this film. It’s rare to do a film of this size that’s original.”

Man, if I were a director, I’ve got to tell you that there would be a few opportunities on my list of, “never ever ever ever ever turn down,” and Star Wars would be one of those.

I’m being a little facetious, but I sure…

Harry Potter Spinnoff ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Will Be a Trilogy
Noelene Clark – Hero Complex

The upcoming “Harry Potter” spinoff film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” is going to be the first in a film trilogy, and more movies might be on the way.

The movies will be directed by “Potter” veteran David Yates, who directed the latter four films in the eight-part franchise, and will reunite the filmmaking team of David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara said at Time Warner’s investors conference Wednesday.

The “Fantastic Beasts” movies are based on an original story by “Potter” author J.K. Rowling and will mark her…

The Equalizer — Review

3.5 of 5 stars
The Equalizer

Denzel Washington is an interesting actor. He is the son of a Pentecostal minister, but describes himself as a bit rebellious in his teenage years. Then he had a religious experience which he describes as being filled with the Holy Spirit 1, after which time he has been a devout Christian.

Growing up — and even now — I sort of got the impression that his Christianity is often called into question by the more conservative element of the Christian community simply because of the sheer number of R rated films he has been in. From my perspective now, this is silly. In fact, many good and highly…

Kate Beckinsale May Yet Return to the ‘Underworld’ Franchise

Kate Beckinsale May Yet Return to the ‘Underworld’ Franchise
Angie Han — /Film

Last month, we got word that Theo James would lead the next Underworld movie and that original star Kate Beckinsale would not be back. But just because she’s not returning for that particular installment doesn’t mean she’s left behind the vamp world for good.

Director Len Wiseman says there are two Underworld movies in development currently, and that one of those could feature Beckinsale. In addition, there’s also an Underworld TV series in the works. Hit the jump for more on the potential Kate Beckinsale Underworldreturn and the possible Underworld TV series.

Wait, I’m confused. Is there…
