These come from The Hollywood Reporter, who say much has changed with Star Wars Episode VII since original screenwriter Michael Arndt left the project last year. Reportedly Arndt wanted the film to focus on the offspring of the original trilogy characters (Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo) while director J....

LOL: Buzz Aldrin Explains Why ‘After Earth’ Isn’t Realistic By Angie Han/May 31, 2013 2:01 pm EST After Earth has been slammed by critics for many reasons, from Jaden Smith’s lackluster performance to the plodding pace to the shoddy CG work. But Buzz Aldrin has to be one of the few folks whose grievances stem from personal experience with outer space travel. While the astronaut stated that he enjoyed the M....

LOL: Spocko Interviews The ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Cast, Italian Iron Man Interviews ‘Iron Man 3’ Cast By Peter Sciretta/May 3, 2013 2:00 pm EST At movie junkets, the cast and crew of movies sit in a chair all day while hundreds of interviewers rotate in, most asking the same exact questions. The result is that the talent begin repeating the same soundbites over and over again. So much so that it almost becomes a script....

New ‘Elysium’ Images Show More Weird Technology By Russ Fischer/April 5, 2013 12:30 pm EST Elysium has been a movie of great interest since it was announced, thanks simply to the fact that it is the new film from District 9 writer/director Neill Blomkamp. Seeing footage from the film got us more interested in the project, as the picture’s vision of Earth as a rubbish bin is reinforced not only by the gleaming cleanliness of the space station Elysium, but by the weird, cobbled-together tech we see star Matt Damon wearing....

New ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Image Identifies Benedict Cumberbatch As… John Harrison? By Russ Fischer/Dec. 10, 2012 12:22 pm EST The first teaser trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness, from director J.J. Abrams, was oriented towards establishing a tone of menace and danger, but in general it was fairly light on classic Trek icons. The well-known Starfleet uniforms, and the USS Enterprise, for example, were barely seen. Reports of the 9-minute IMAX preview that will be seen later this week in front of The Hobbit suggest that audiences will soon get a bit more classic Trek imagery from the new film....

See First ‘Better Call Saul’ Footage; Series Premieres February 2015 By Russ Fischer/Aug. 11, 2014 10:45 am EST AMC recently premiered the first Better Call Saul footage, and the clip from the Breaking Bad spin-off is now online. It’s not much — ten seconds of Saul (Bob Odenkirk) talking about the value of having a lawyer. But we know much of the show takes place six years before Breaking Bad, and this seems like a Saul who is younger and not quite as shark-like as he is by the time Walt and Jesse walk into his office years later....

Short Film: Welcome To Colon, Magic Capital Of The World By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 24, 2014 1:00 pm EST One of my interests outside of film has always been magic, an art which I think goes hand in hand with the mastery of storytelling and incorporation of visual effects in films. In the past years there have been several great magic documentaries: Make Believe (which is like Spellbound but about the teenage world magic championships, from the producers of King of Kong), The Magic Life (focused on the struggles of being a magician), and Magic Camp (which was about Tannen’s Magic Camp, the oldest and most prestigious training camp for young magicians)....

That’s where Star Wars Bits comes in, and after the jump, you can read about the following: Electronic Arts says Star Wars video games won’t be direct movie tie-ins. Actor Jason Flemyng tweets what might be a script page for Star Wars Episode VII....

Trivia: Oscar-Nominated Makeup In ‘Dallas Buyer’s Club’ Cost $250 By Russ Fischer/Feb. 19, 2014 12:15 pm EST There’s not a letter or decimal point missing in that headline. Makeup artist Robin Mathews, who is nominated for an Oscar for her work on Dallas Buyer’s Club, achieved the film’s impressive look on a budget of only $250 — that’s two hundred and fifty bucks for the whole thing, not just one scene or character....

When/Where Will We See Ryan Reynolds In Costume As Green Lantern? By Peter Sciretta/July 14, 2010 3:00 pm EST NO PHOTO Many of you might recall that we were the ones to break the story about how Warner Bros was using a performance capture suit to create Green Lantern’s costume using CG. While many set photos have been snapped, most of them look like the one above with Reynolds wearing a grey suit with digital markers....

‘Bellflower’ Crew Reunites For ’80s Video Game-Influenced ‘Chuck Hank And The San Diego Twins’ By Russ Fischer/Feb. 5, 2013 1:27 pm EST The production team behind Bellflower is reforming for a new feature, and this one sounds as if it will be even more cartoonishly out there than their last. Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins is briefly described as “influenced heavily by ’80s action films and side-scrolling fighting games,”...

/Film Interview: Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg And Nick Frost Discuss Ending Of ‘The World’s End’ By Germain Lussier/Aug. 27, 2013 9:30 am EST Hopefully, lots of you caught part three of the Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy this past weekend. If you did, you might have walked out of the theater exhilarated, but filled with questions about some huge decisions the filmmakers made in the film’s final moments. Well now, you can read – in their own words – why they made the decisions they did, how it all came about and what it means to them....

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ - What Did You Think? By Russ Fischer/May 17, 2013 5:25 pm EST It’s in theaters now, and all the secrets are out in the open. Star Trek Into Darkness, the second Trek film from J.J. Abrams, has been locked (mostly) in the producer/director’s “mystery box” for over a year. For hardcore fans, at least, the secrecy around the precise nature of the character played by Benedict Cumberbatch has been a big part of the marketing allure, but the energy Abrams and his cast brought to their first outing on the Enterprise has been enough to make a huge audience curious about their encore....

‘Texas Killing Fields’ English-Language Trailer By Russ Fischer/Aug. 18, 2011 12:27 pm EST The last time we saw footage from Texas Killing Fields, we were looking at a trailer dubbed into Italian. Now we’ve got a somewhat different trailer in English, which will give you a much better idea of what to expect from the film. Item number one: Sam Worthington’s pretty dodgy Texas accent. Next: a tone that really does seem more like a TV police procedural than a feature film to stand up against giants like Zodiac....
