Actor Simon Pegg has been hired to draft a new version of Star Trek 3 's script, but there's been no news yet about new actors being cast or what the plot might entail, aside from Karl Urban teasing that the concept for the next film is " phenomenal " - and Urban is probably a little bia


The religious themes and imagery of Ridley Scott’s sort-of-prequel to Alien begin in the opening scene, with an alien Engineer sacrificing himself to seed Earth with life – an idea seen in Greek, Roman and Aztec religions. But it’s not the most obvious message. When the cast of Prometheus uncovers an ancient map to a distant moon, LV-223, the film’s Christian heroine sees it as an invitation to meet her creator in person. But instead of answers, the crew finds violent creatures and an Engineer determined to destroy all human life on Ea


In the video, Courteney Cox reveals some minor plot details about her character, cheap steam keys|https://gamedealhq.com/ Gale Weathers, and her character’s husband, Dewey, played by her actual husband, David Arquette. Apparently, in the new movie, Gale has given up her career in broadcast journalism to marry Dewey and write books for a liv


Not to flog a dead horse, but this was an issue that many had with the prequels. When The Phantom Menace opened, several of the principal players were all people who had great knowledge of the conflict at hand. Obviously, they're not going to explain situations to each other if they have a firm grasp of what's going on. There wasn't anybody there to receive exposition and stand in for the audience. For some, that made the events difficult to follow since there was not a protagonist in the traditional sense to help new viewers take their first step into a larger world. Abrams seems to have amended that problem by making The Force Awakens Rey's story. She'll be the one newcomers gravitate towards while longtime fans soak in the nostalgia of seeing Han and Chewbacca ag


Somewhere out there in the universe, a force is growing under a veil of secrecy and shadow - and not just any force, but THE force. We're now two years away from the 2015 release of J.J. Abrams' Star Wars Episode VII and we still know little-to-nothing solid about what Disney has planned for its big re-launch of Star Wars - other than the fact that some familiar faces will be returning to the franch


We at least know when production is set to begin on Star Trek 3 . On Location Vacations reports that the film's start date is April 15th, 2015, and that things will kick off at Vancouver Film Studios. Previously there have been claims that part of the shoot will take place in Seoul, South Korea, and that may still be true for some of the on-location work. When it comes to studio space, however, it looks like Vancouver won the raf


The original Scream is that rare example of a horror movie that did everything right. Half-satire, half-thriller, it was both critically and financially successful—the series has made over half a billion dollars altogether—and spawned two underwhelming sequels plus a plethora of heinous knockoffs. ( Urban Legend , I’m looking in your direction


Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how Marvel explores Thanos as a villain and realizes him on the big screen for longer than five seconds. It's comforting that Joss Whedon and company didn't resort to CGI to bring him to life in The Avengers , but I wouldn't mind seeing a version of Thanos that's a little bit creepier than the one we saw previou


Between superhero movies, the upcoming revival of the Star Wars franchise and the preponderance of YA science fiction novel adaptations like Divergent and The Maze Runner headed to theaters over the next few years, the sci-fi genre is going to be pretty well served in the immediate future. Not to be left out, the rebooted Star Trek universe is also returning in 2016 with Star Trek 3 , which will be directed by Justin Lin ( Fast & Furious


"Kirby had done 'The New Gods,' which I thought was terrific. He was over at DC at the time. I came up with some things that were inspired by that. You'd think that Thanos was inspired by Darkseid, but that was not the case when I showed up. In my first Thanos drawings, if he looked like anybody, it was Metron. I had all these different gods and things I wanted to do, which became Thanos and the Titans. Roy took one look at the guy in the Metron-like chair and said : 'Beef him up! If you're going to steal one of the New Gods, at least rip off Darkseid, the really good on


We can also safely assume that Finn (John Boyega) has some basic knowledge of the prior conflict. He essentially grew up in the First Order, and allegedly learned lightsaber techniques as part of his basic training. Someone in the First Order probably told young stormtroopers and recruits about what happened before. The same can be said for Resistance pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), whose parents were featured in the canon comic Shattered Empire . It seems as if he's been a part of this faction his whole life (or, for at least a majority of it) and grew up around Han, Luke, and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), hearing stories of their adventures in his yo
