‘Spider-Man’ Still Has Possibility of Coming Back to Marvel

‘Spider-Man’ Still Has Possibility of Coming Back to Marvel
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

Let’s face it: when it comes to the cinematic future of Spider-Man, nobody knows what’s going on. And that’s because even Sony isn’t sure what the next move could be following the fan loathed and underperforming “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” Just this past week the Sony leaks revealed that the studio briefly discussed trying to work about a deal with Marvel to include the character in “Captain America: The Civil War.” It didn’t pan out, but it appears the talks between the two aren’t over.

Latino Review reports Sony’s parent company still wants to explore the option of working with Marvel.…

‘Insurgent’ Full Trailer

‘Insurgent’ Full Trailer

Critics just hated the first installment in the Divergent series of films. They thought it too formulaic and predictable. I found the film to be okay — yes, occasionally formulaic, but… ahem… diverting.

That said, I think this second film could go either way. In fact I would say this film will either be a good bit better and considerably worse and I’m not sure which yet. The first teaser trailer was not much to go on as it appears to be entirely a dream sequence of Triss’. This trailer gives us a bit more to go on. I have not read the books but I am given to understand that it appears from…

TrekMovie Rounds Up Orci’s Responses to Not Directing ‘Star Trek’
Brian Drew — TrekMovie.com

Ever since news broke last week that Roberto Orci would no longer be directing the nextStar Trek film, there has been a great deal of confusion, speculation, and misinformation regarding Orci’s continuing role as well as the future of the feature film franchise. We don’t profess to have all the facts here, but we’re going to try and provide some clarity, using Orci’s comments here at TrekMovie, and elsewhere on Twitter.

I definitely recommend you click through and read if you want to see all of Orci’s relevant comments gathered in one place.

My speculation as to what happened is that he…

Hal Rudnik Interviews James Gunn About ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

Hal Rudnik Interviews James Gunn About ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

I’m not really a huge fan of Hal Rudnik, but he managed to not be too annoying during this interview and it’s certainly worth it to get a few nuggets from James Gunn about Guardians.

I’ll also just mention that I agree with Gunn’s assessment of his own film’s weakness of not having enough of the villain.

Enjoy.

Jonathan Frakes is Interested in the ‘Star Trek’ Director’s Chair

Jonathan Frakes is Interested in the ‘Star Trek’ Director’s Chair
Jared Whiteley — TrekMovie.com

Just yesterday, Jonathan Frakes announced that he loves the twitter campaign and would be thrilled to direct the next Star Trek movie. While he has not responded on Twitter, he did give an interview to KOMO News Radio, wherein he said:

Hashtag, BringInRiker! I’m all over it. I’m all over it. … I say, unabashedly, I’d be great at it and would love to do it. … I’m trying to keep the lid on how excited I am about the possibility, knowing it’s such a long shot. But there’s nothing I would like better.

I’m very interested in this. Frakes directed two great Star Trek (TNG era) films. And…

The ‘Agents of ‘SHIELD’ Ace in the Hole — A Female Superhero

The ‘Agents of ‘SHIELD’ Ace in the Hole — A Female Superhero
Joanna Robinson — Vanity Fair

This is a recap of Season 2, Episode 10 of Agents of S.H.I.E.LD., titled “What They Become.” If you don’t want to be spoiled, stop reading now.

The phrase “game-changing” gets way overused in film and TV writing but, sorry folks, the game has changed. In last night’s mid-season finale of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Marvel revealed that the entire time we’ve been clamoring for a female superhero, there’s been one growing right under our noses.

As it turns out, Chloe Bennett’s Agent Skye, the ordinary hacker whose recruitment into S.H.I.E.L.D. kicked off the ABC series last year, was actually a…

Trailer for Pixar’s ‘Inside Out’

Trailer for Pixar’s ‘Inside Out’

I think it’s safe to say that this doesn’t look at all like anything Pixar has ever done before — and that’s probably a good thing. While I still have my doubts about this project, I did find this trailer hillarious even if I would find the actual situation, if it were taking place in real life, repulsive. We all wonder sometimes what’s going on in someone else’s brain and this film is going to set out to answer that question in what looks to be a pretty clever and funny way.

And this film is actually just around the corner. It will arrive on June 19th. As always with Pixar, I look forward…

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ Red Band Trailer

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ Red Band Trailer

I don’t often post red band trailers on MovieByte, but since I’ve been pretty public here about looking forward to this film and recommending it in a way, I wanted you all to know what you’re getting in to.

I still think the film looks like great fun, and it’s certainly not going to take itself too seriously.

It will be out in theaters on February 13.

Honest Trailer: ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

Honest Trailer: ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

Oh man! I nearly split a gut on this one. This just proves that even the best of movies can be made fun of. It is funny the connections that you can make to other Marvel characters, but it’s a sign of how well done it is that I never made the connection before or maybe I just never cared to make the connection.

So buckle up for the Honest Trailer about “The Space Avangers”.
