Interesting. I can’t say I know anything about the novel this film is based on. So I turned to Wikipedia and learned this:

Sometime in the near future, humanity began to explore the solar system and master interplanetary spaceflight. In doing so, they encountered an alien race known as the Formics, derogatorily dubbed “buggers” due to their insect-like appearance, scouting the system and establishing a forward base in the asteroid Eros. The Formics attacked the humans and the two races entered into two drawn-out wars. Despite political conflict on Earth between three ruling parties, the…

Sony Pictures has quietly started development on a new chapter in the “Men in Black” franchise, tapping Oren Uziel (“The Kitchen Sink”) to write “Men in Black 4,” TheWrap has learned.

...

“Men in Black 3,” which found Josh Brolin and Emma Thompson joining original stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, grossed $625 million worldwide last summer and was the highest-grossing film in the franchise.

Well, no wonder they’re jumping up and down to make another one. There were a lot of things I liked about the 3^rd installment so I hope they can keep up the good work. And really, the Men…

“Even while we were working on the first movie, I think we had plans for the second one.”

...

“You should always know where you’ve been, you should always know where you are, but most importantly, and I learned this from Lost, you should know where you’re going.”

...

“You can never see enough Klingons, and I think in this film we’ve given the audience a little taste, but there’s also a promise that there’s a larger conflict on the horizon, and that would be fun to see.”

...

“Draw your own conclusions my friend. I confirm nothing and deny all.”

My conclusion, more…

“If that works the way everyone expects it to work I think that would open up another avenue, another outlet for some of those characters,” Feige acknowledes. “Maybe they guest star, I don’t know. I think they’re avoiding the cameo of the week on that show, which is very smart.”

...

But, well, there is one other question: Would Robert Downey Jr. ever return to TV for a guest appearance as Iron Man?

EW asked him straight-up. Downey Jr.’s response: “You know what? There’s no telling. I am open to everything.”

It’s not very likely. But at the very least, it’s also not a hard…

Robert DeSalvo: Kevin, for Iron Man’s third stand-alone movie, what specifically did you want to do differently from the other “Iron Man” films?

KEVIN FEIGE: Well, the most important thing was to make a good part three. The curse of the threequel is something that people write a lot about, and I didn’t want to fall prey to that. One way to try to not fall prey to that was do something different and not rely on making things bigger, bigger, bigger. Although, ironically, this has some of the biggest action set pieces in any of our movies. But, knowing that it would come a year after “The…

I’m telling you what, if clips, trailers, and footage we have not yet seen keeps rolling out at this rate, I will have seen the entire film by the time May 17 gets here. Seriously, I can’t remember the last time so much stuff has come out in advance of a film.

Most of this stuff we’ve seen before, but there are a couple of new shots, particularly a really good view of the smoking starship (presumably the U.S.S. Vengeance) falling from the sky before the same saucer section crashing into buildings shot we’ve seen in several other trailers. Plus, Kirk is in a bar doing his thing wooing the…

Hey, look at that! There’s actually a new film out worthing seeing this weekend! Let’s take a look.

Opening This Weekend

Iron Man 3 - PG-13
This is a pretty great installment in the Marvel Universe. And I loved that it wasn’t just about the suites and another guy with suites more powerful than Iron Man’s suit, etc. etc. This movie had heart, and it was a story about the characters, not the metal that the characters wear. And there were some surprises to the plot that were unexpect, unlike Iron Man 2, which felt a little bit like a paint by numbers job. Definitely worth seeing this one!…

New promos, clips, and other cools stuff coming out for Star Trek Into Darkness is getting to be an almost daily occurrence now. I mean really, how much more can they crank out without just releasing the film to bit torrent or something?

I know that the studios have to do everything they can to generate as much interest as they can, but I am a little bit frustrated at this point with the shear amount of footage that has been released. I feel like in order to keep up with the conversation I have to watch everything that comes out (that is officially released anyway), and yet I feel like…

Could this possibly be any good. Actually, it looks like it “could” though I don’t know if I’ll hold my breath or anything. But this sort of things can be fun when done right.

Somehow, I missed the first trailer for this film as this appears to be trailer number 2. Indeed, I haven’t heard much about it before now, but it looks like the film opens on June 28. It’s directed by Roland Emmerich and stars Channing Tatum (which makes me a little suspicious, but then again, Roland Emmerich… well, come to think of it, he has a couple of decent movies but nothing I’m overly fond of. But my point…
