New ‘Godzilla’ Set Pics + Video
16 May 2013 10:28 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
After Gareth Edward’s set-video where he discussed shooting on the American reboot of Godzilla, we now have a new series of images which feature star, Aaron Taylor-Johnson . In his brown leather jacket and jeans, he almost looks like a younger version of Tom Cruise or Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Being in his civies, could this be Taylor-Johnson’s day off? Well I’m afraid Japanese kaiju don’t know the meaning of the words ‘day off’! We can also treat you to some video footage that shows soldiers assembling to take on the G-man.
There’s around 28 films in the Godzilla franchise, not counting the 1998 Roland Emmerich Hollywood take. It’s an amazing franchise of films which inspires thanks to its creativity in both storytelling and special effects. Hopefully this film will be a success and we’ll soon see Mothra, Rhodan, and possibly even rival franchise Gamera, hitting the big screens again. »

Godzilla Set Video Marks One Year Until Its Release Date
16 May 2013 9:07 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
There is no possibly way that I can conceive of that would correctly predict anyone.s feelings about Gareth Edwards. upcoming Godzilla film. Giant creature features in general are hit or miss with audiences, and Roland Emmerich.s abysmal 1998 remake left such a sour taste in everyone.s mouth that memories of it pervade. But I know that some people are frothing at the mouth for Edwards to right Emmerich.s wrong here, and I.m one of them. It seems Edwards understands the casual hesitance that people are giving this project, taking a few seconds to drop the above set video to humbly thank fans for having patience. It.s exactly one year before Godzilla.s May 16, 2014 release, and he says they.re about halfway through the shoot. So that means you can expect still images from the teasers of the trailers that Godzilla will rain down upon us. »
Exclusive: Mark Margolis Talks Noah
16 May 2013 1:59 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Proof that anything a mutated neutrino and Roland Emmerich can do, God can do better (and first), Darren Aronofsky's Noah is currently at the pointy end of production. The whole shebang is coalescing into something seriously intriguing - after all, we're talking about the director of Pi, Requiem For A Dream and Black Swan tackling the first ever apocalypse - and our spies tell us that even the big guy upstairs is excited to be involved. Someone else with a tingle of anticipation is Breaking Bad stalwart and old Aronofsky hand Mark Margolis, who plays a fallen angel known as Samyaza in the film. As he explained to Empire, he won't look anything like Breaking Bad's wheelchair-bound enforcer. "I play a 12-foot god," he said, "[and] most of my character will be created through CGI."Shooting in Iceland, Margolis took the mantle of leader of a posse of six-armed angels known as the 'Watchers'. »

13 May 2013 1:05 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Director Roland Emmerich and his producer Dean Devlin have been working hard on bringing us two follow-ups to Independence Day. It seems like it's going to happen, but Emmerich is also looking to go beyond those two sequels. He revealed in a recent Q&A session during the Hero Complex Film Festival that he hopes to see a whole series of films get made. It was also revealed that Jeff Goldblum is expected to return. /Film was on hand to get some of that info.
When asked where the sequel currently stood, Devlin had this to say:
Roland and I would really like to do one. We have some pretty darn good ideas on how to do one and, hopefully, that will all come together. A lot of things have to align. The planets have to piece together and if they do, it’ll happen.

Just a couple of months ago, some details surfaced on the gestating sequels to the 1996 blockbuster Independence Day. Director Roland Emmerich said there would be two sequels called ID Forever Part I and Part II which take place 20 years after the first film when alien reinforcements finally arrive to attack Earth. But the humans aren't unprepared this time. Well, Emmerich talked a little more about the future of Independence Day at a screening at the La Times Hero Complex Film Festival, and it sounds like he and co-writer and producer Dean Devlin have their eye on more than just two film sequels. Read on! At the very least, they want to get one of their sequels off the ground. SlashFilm has Devlin saying: "Roland and I would really like to do one.

Roland Emmerich Wants Independence Day To Become A Film Series

It’s been a long time coming. 16 years, in fact. But when news broke of a follow-up to Independence Day, writer and director Roland Emmerich promised a sequel that would explore a parallel history in all three dimensions. Well, it seems his initial vision has grown immensely, after the filmmaker confirmed that he would like to make a series of Independence Day films following ID Forever Parts One & Two.
Speaking at the Los Angeles Times Hero Complex Film Festival (wow, that’s quite a mouthful), here’s what Emmerich and his co-writer Dean Delvin had to say:
“Roland and I would really like to do one,” said Delvin. “We have some pretty darn good ideas on how to do one and, hopefully, that will all come together. A lot of things have to align. The planets have to piece together and if they do, it’ll happen.”

During the La Times Hero Complex Film Festival in Hollywood, Jeff Goldblum and director Roland Emmerich were in attendance for a special screening of "Independence Day." Immediately after, Emmerich confirmed that he's working on a sequel, that Goldblum will return, and that the plan is to create a story that will give him an opportunity to make endless sequels. "That's actually what we talked a lot about. The mythology of why did the aliens come in the first place, what is the bigger story of this whole thing?," Emmerich stated. "And we talked a lot about swarm intelligence. And [the humans] are individual intelligence. Even though we kill each other and have wars against each other, we have something special." He continued: "We have this domino human spirit to believe in good and over coming enemies. And it's a little bit about that and when you get a bigger mythology going, I »

Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin have been chatting about Independence Day, and its possible follow-up(s)...
Sooner or later, you can't help but feel that somebody's just going to have to make a decision. A pair of sequels to the 1996 blockbuster Independence Day have been on the cards even longer than the mooted Ghostbusters 3 now, and both director Roland Emmerich and writer/producer Dean Devlin have chatted about the project on and off. However, things didn't look good when the planned 3D re-release of Independence Day for this year was cancelled. It was suspected that the new 3D version would have served as a firing gun for the sequels.
But not so. And Devlin and Emmerich attended a screening of Independence Day over the weekend at the Hero Complex Film Festival, where the former confirmed that "things have to align ... the planets have to »

Star Trek Month - Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)

To celebrate the release of Star Trek Into Darkness, the Flickering Myth writing team look back at the classic sci-fi franchise. Next up for Star Trek Month is Luke Owen looking back at the final movie for The Next Generation, Star Trek: Nemesis...
After the disappointment of the previous two Star Trek movies, the crew of The Next Generation needed something big to recapture the glory they found with the television series. Sadly, for the last movie of The Next Generation, Star Trek: Nemesis is kind of a bore.
That’s not to say it’s as boring as Star Trek: Insurrection or as face-palmingly embarrassing as Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, but Star Trek: Nemesis just doesn’t have any kind of spark to make it worthwhile watching – something all of The Next Generation movies have in common.
However, it’s not all doom and gloom. Unlike Star Trek: Insurrection, »

His fondness for fava beans and a nice chianti is well documented, but when Hannibal Lecter returned in his latest incarnation it was in less charted territory.
After the series of books by Thomas Harris and a string of hit films, the world's most popular serial killer has moved to television for the first time.
Bryan Fuller's acclaimed adaptation, which launched in the UK on Sky Living last week, is part of a boom in big-screen properties being adapted for TV. After Psycho (adapted in the Us as Bates Motel) and the small-screen take on the Woody Harrelson movie Zombieland, (part of a move by Amazon into TV production), Joss Whedon is making a TV version of his Avengers film and there will be two competing mini-series of Lawrence of Arabia, »

'Teachers’ Day' wrapped on Teachers’ Day

by David Harkness, Morehorror.com
In 1980 you may have been pleasantly mortified by Charles Kaufman’s Mother’s Day. In 1993 people everywhere were mesmerized by a simple weatherman who finds himself living the same day over and over again in Harold Ramis’Groundhog Day. In 1996, July 4th was given a new name in terror when aliens invaded the U.S. in Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day. In 2010 you may have cuddled up to Garry Marshall’s romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, or checked out Chris Lamartina’s President’s Day. In 2013, and for every year after, you will associate the holiday that falls annually on May 7th with the horrors, humor, and startling imagery of a high school educator gone mad in Jared Masters’ Teachers’ Day, a shocking, unexpected to-be hit holiday movie.
It was on May 7th, 2013, on Teachers’ Day, nationwide, that Frolic Pictures announced wrapping principle photography on »

White House Down New Movie Poster and Trailer #2
6 May 2013 8:04 AM, PDT | CineMovie | See recent CineMovie news »
In the teaser trailer for White House Down, Channing Tatum was definitely the action hero of the film, but the latest trailer for the Roland Emmerich movie has Jamie Foxx as the President of the United States proving he's not just somebody to protect.
Now that's quite a job interview. Channing Tatum walks into the White House to apply as a secret service agent, but he is denied the job. As he is leaving the President's house with his daughter, paramilitary insurgents take down the White House and the DC Capitol Policeman springs into action to save his kid and the President of the United States played by Jamie Foxx. Can we bet that Tatum gets the job as a secret service agent after all this? Hopefully, it's a better twist than that predictable ending.
