Power Rangers: Here’s your first look at the new suits

When the Power Rangers revival morphs into theaters, the five teenagers with attitude won’t be wearing the original series’ campy costumes to battle Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks). Instead, the new cast — singer Becky G as Yellow Ranger Trini, Ludi Lin as Black Ranger Zack, Dacre Montgomery as Red Ranger Jason, Naomi Scott as Pink Ranger Kimberly, and RJ Cyler as Blue Ranger Billy — will don translucent extraterrestrial armor that crystallizes around their bodies.

Sigourney Weaver Says Neill Blomkamp’s ALIEN Sequel Will Be “Worth The Wait”

When Ridley Scott decided to make the Prometheus sequel Alien: Covenant his next movie, that put Neill Blomkamp’s Alien 5 in a holding pattern. Blomkamp’s movie is set after the events of James Cameron’s Aliens and reportedly ignores the other sequels in the franchise, and Scott wanted to take a crack at making another bridge movie between Prometheus and the first Alien before someone else came in and told another story that takes place further down the timeline.

Sigourney Weaver, who will be working with Blomkamp on Alien 5, has given a little update about the movie (via Aggressive Comix) and she says it’ll be “worth the wait.” Continue reading

The clear, tight-knit, non-paradox inducing Terminator franchise timeline could be in trouble

Despite not going over too well with critics and most everyone else, Terminator: Genisys still took in close to $440 million worldwide, (which currently places it at #197 all-time at the time of this posting. By way of comparison, 2003’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is right below it at #198 with $433.4M. The dollars are not adjusted for inflation, it was released 12 years earlier, and it did not have the benefit of 3D or IMAX for extra revenue.) Paramount/Skydance seemed dead set on continuing the franchise after “readjusting” their approach to the material. Continue reading

BLADE RUNNER 2 Upgrades to 2017 Release Date


I thought it was very strange that Alcon Entertainment set Blade Runner 2 to open in January of 2018, since January is typically a dumping ground for awful movies. But now that concern has slipped away like tears in rain, because Variety reports that the film has now upgraded to the earlier release date of October 6, 2017 instead of January 12, 2018. Continue reading

Obi-Wan Kenobi Originally Wasn’t Supposed to Die in Star Wars: A New Hope

What kind of world would we be living in had Obi-Wan survived his epic battle with Darth Vader? We may never know, but we almost did.

Peter Mayhew, the actor who played Chewbacca, has been releasing some pretty awesome stuff via Twitter, and it’s totally worth looking at the gems that he has saved over the years. Continue reading

Shane Black Says ‘The Predator’ Will Be Set in Present Day

Shane Black has grand plans for The Predator. After turning down a writing gig (but accepting a supporting role) in the original movie, he’s now co-writing and directing a new movie featuring the alien hunter, and he gave a brief update about it in a new interview with Collider. Continue reading

James Cameron Announces Four Avatar Sequels and Reveals Logo

During 20th Century Fox’s CinemaCon presentation, James Cameron offered an update on his Avatar franchise, and announced that he is now going to make four Avatar sequels. Now we have an idea why James Cameron has continued to delay his Avatar sequels.The last we heard there was only three, I imagine next year he’ll announce four more – just to tie Star Wars. I’m convinced that Cameron will be making these Avatar films throughout the rest of his career. So much for a live-action Battle Angel anytime soon.

Cameron revealed that the sequels are being created as films that will stand on their own so they will tell individual stories that, together, will “form a complete saga”. Continue reading

Another Movie You Thought Didn’t Deserve a Sequel Gets a Sequel

Last year we learned that Tom Cruise had an idea for an Edge of Tomorrow sequel that he pitched to director Doug Liman and writer Christopher McQuarrie. That idea was later locked and loaded and pitched to Warner Brothers, and now the studio is taking it to the next step and putting it in development. Continue reading
