American Film Institute 44th Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute to John Williams

The American Film Institute held a red carpet event honoring legendary film composer John Williams with a lifetime achievement award. The 84-year-old Williams, whose work on all four Indiana Jones films as well as all seven Star Wars Saga films are career-defining, took the opportunity to assure the world he would be back for Lucasfilm‘s next installments of both franchises.

“If I can do it, I certainly will,” Williams confirmed to Variety of his commitment to do the music for Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII, currently in the home stretch of filming. “I told Kathy Kennedy I’m happy to do it, but the real reason is, I didn’t want anybody else writing music for Daisy Ridley.” Continue reading →

Pacific Rim 2 Gets Force Awakens Star John Boyega in the Lead

Though the film didn’t quite kill it at the domestic box office, it did do pretty well internationally, and spawned comic books, an in-development animated series and a whole lot of merchandise, so the franchise potential is there and a sequel is on the way. Though a lot of focus has been on who won’t be returning, we finally got word on a huge new addition to Pacific Rim 2. Continue reading →

If Daniel Craig Is Not Done with James Bond, will we have a Never Say Never Again…again?

Posted on by

It’s not like we didn’t see this coming. While making the press rounds promoting the last James Bond film Spectre, Daniel Craig made it pretty clear that he wasn’t interested in making any more James Bond films.
