We wrote about David Fincher’s Gone Girl just a little while ago when we published the Honest Trailer for that movie, but the film has popped up again for a different reason:

Good news for those of you who are looking forward to the Scarlett Johansson-starring adaptation of Ghost in the Shell: you won’t have to wait too long to see it.

We now know that as far back as August 2011 there were rumblings of more “Star Wars” movies in the pipeline, and when Disney announced they would acquire Lucasfilm in October 2012, they made it official. Now, in an interview with USA Today, the maestro himself George Lucas revealed that he originally thought of developing “Episode VII” himself and release it in May 2015 before selling off the company.

One of the fun things about using these R2-D2 measuring cups is that you get to play like you’re a Jawa. See, you found this droid, and in order to make it useful, you’re going to have to take it all apart. Utinni! But NOT with your ion blaster. Sorry. And we recommend an apron for the kitchen vs. those brown robes with the potentially flammable cuffs. Continue reading
There seems to be a lot of hype building up for the new Supergirl series in development by Warner Bros. TV and CBS. We now have some additional details that I think you’ll be interesting in knowing. According to CBS entertainment chairman Nina Tassler, the series will be a crime procedural, and we may not see her show up in Arrow or The Flash after all. Here’s what she told EW:
“There will be cases, but what [executive producers] Ali Adler and Greg Berlanti pitched was a real series arc for her. The beauty of it is now with shows like Good Wife and Madam Secretary, you can have serialized story elements woven into a case of the week. She’s a crime solver, so she’s going to have to solve a crime. She’s going to get a bad guy.”
I kind of totally forgot that the live-action G.I. Joe movies were a thing that were happening. And now it looks like Paramount is gearing up for a third go at this, with another new director.
Deadline is reporting that DJ Caruso, who is currently in the process of making The Disappointment Room with Kate Beckinsale and Lucas Till, is in early negotiations to direct G.I Joe 3. He’ll take over for John Chu, whose G.I. Joe Retaliation, which effectively rebooted the films with Dwayne Johnson as the lead, grossed over $372 million worldwide.
And, yeah, Chu’s Johnson-starring sequel was a much better G.I. Joe movie. But the first film was one of the most fun/awful things I’ve ever seen in the theaters. I will never forget the part where shooting an iceberg resulted in the smaller pieces of ice starting to sink. Amazing.
Over at Latino-Review, El Mayimbe just broke the news about a handful of actors who are actually testing for the roles of young Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm in Bryan Singer’s upcoming sequel X-Men: Apocalypse.
