Even though a sequel arrived 28 years after the first innovative sci-fi Tron film, Disney head honcho Alan Horn has put the next Tron project on the fast track.

I had a little bit to say about this yesterday, but the reason I’m linking this one today is because of this:

I think we will pick with where Tron: Legacy left off with Quorra in the real world and what does that mean and the possibilities it opens up for the next chapter. It’s that relationship between the two of them that’s the next step.

This is what I was talking about yesterday when I said there was a lot of potential…

That Man of Steel is being exec produced by Chris Nolan should be a point in its favor, but after The Dark Knight Rises, in which we’re expected to believe the same government that secretly assassinated Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan can’t handle an ostentatious blowhard taking over an American city, I can’t help but fear for the grim, poorly plotted future in store for Superman.

Man of Steel‘s marketing hasn’t helped. The first teaser came off like the last five minutes of every episode of The Incredible Hulk*, the only thing missing being sad piano music to really nail down the emo…

We’ve seen bits and pieces of this clip in trailers and featurettes, but here is the full clip.

I love it! I’m really looking forward to this one, I hope it doesn’t disappoint.

Today in New York the junket was held for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the first in the new trilogy of J.R.R. Tolkein-based films from “Lord of the Rings” mastermind Peter Jackson. A sweeping fantasy epic that takes place above and below Middle Earth, featuring heroes both new and familiar, ‘The Hobbit’ is made even more audacious and mind-boggling by Jackson’s insistence in shooting the movie in 48 frames per second, which gives the 3D some much-needed oomph and, honestly, might make you a little bit sick (more on that in a minute).

I’m still not happy with the 48 FPS business,…

The sequel to the 2010 reboot Tron: Legacy —called Tron 3 in some quarters—is moving a step forward with Disney in negotiations to hire Jesse Wigutow to pen the latest draft of the script.

Joseph Kosinski, who directed Legacy, is attached to helm this installment, which is being developed with a renewed purpose under Alan Horn, who took the reins of Disney Studios in June.

Some considered the dark and trippy Legacy —which teamed newcomer Garrett Hedlund with Jeff Bridges, star of the 1982 original Tron —a lukewarm performer when it opened in December 2010. But the film grossed $400…

As much as I have been enjoying the remastered Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) Seasons 1 and 2 clips, episodes, theater events, and news, Season 3 is what I’m really look forward to. That’s when TNG really got cooking. And oh my goodness, how much better are the uniforms from Season 3 onward? Serously!

Season 3 gave us some of the best in Star Trek like:

• The Ensigns of Command
• The Survivors
• Booby Trap
• The Vengeance Factor
• The Defector
• The High Ground
• Déjà Q
• A Matter of Perspective
• Yesterday’s Enterprise
• The Offspring
• Sins of the Father

The one we’ve been waiting for is here. I know that while I liked The Dark Knight Rises it was not quite up to the level of the previous two Batman films, certainly in terms of story, and in other ways.

That’s what makes this one so fun. Whereas often, while I find the Honest Trailers amusing, a laugh riot even, I don’t generally agree with the complaints. But I don’t think there is a single thing being criticized in this Honest Trailer that I don’t agree with.

Anyway, it’s fun.

Three new TV spots, six new clips and great new images from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey! Yeah, believe it or not – we’re here to share all that with you today! As you already know, the movie opens in less than ten days, so we better hurry up and share the Hobbit fun! We have nothing new to say about Peter Jackson‘s movie except that – we’ can’t wait to check it out (although the first reviews are not so good)!

Good stuff.

Star Trek Into Darkness Trailer Analysis – Someone Wants Vengeance

Let’s start with the voice over, which is provide by the film’s villain (played by Benedict Cumberbatch):

You think your world is safe? It is an illusion. A comforting lie told to protect you. Enjoy these final moments of peace for I have returned to have my vengeance.

….

So shall we begin?

Firstly, this voice over appears to confirm that “vengeance” is a theme of the film. As reported by TrekMovie.com “Star Trek: Vengeance” was considered as a possible title for the film. Secondly, he is saying he has…
