"Star Trek Into Darkness": Enter Alice Eve
21 hours ago | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »
Screenwriter Damon Lindelof has tweeted an 'apology' to fans offended by a revealing scene involving English actress, Alice Eve's character 'Carol Marcus', in "Star Trek Into Darkness".
In the film Eve is revealed in her underwear before changing into a space suit, as an homage to actress Sigourney Weaver's 'Ripley' character in "Alien":
"I copped to the fact that we should have done a better job of not being gratuitous in our representation of a barely clothed actress," tweeted Lindelof. "...what I’m saying is I hear you, I take responsibility and will be more mindful in the future..."
Actress Alice Eve first appeared in UK TV dramas including BBC's "The Rotters' Club" and "Agatha Christie's Poirot".
Her work also includes the features "Stage Beauty" (2004), "Starter For Nothing" (2006) and "Big Nothing" (2006), "She's Out of My League" (2010), "Sex and the City 2" (2010), "The Raven" (2012), "Men In Black 3 »

Cannes Film Review: ‘The Last Days on Mars’
20 May 2013 7:06 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Considerable talent and resources have clearly been marshaled in service of “The Last Days on Mars,” which, in achieving a reasonably plausible low-budget vision of the future, announces itself as a first feature of considerable ambition for Irish helmer Ruairi Robinson. Yet while it earns high marks for Jon Henson’s production design, this murkily derivative sci-fi-horror entry sets its sights disappointingly low in terms of story and ideas, leaving the viewer’s sense of awe unstirred as a solid cast, toplined by Liev Schreiber, trudges its way through what basically amounts to “Red Planet of the Dead.”
Four years ago, Duncan Jones’ “Moon” demonstrated what was possible, creatively and commercially, in the realm of minimalist speculative fiction. Apart from serving its purpose as a calling card for Robinson and his crew, “The Last Days on Mars” seems unlikely to occupy a place of similar distinction. At a time when »

New Who Review: “The Name of the Doctor”
20 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Crossing one’s own timeline is a cardinal sin for a time traveler. Walking over one’s grave even worse. So when The Doctor is forced to do that…
The Name Of The Doctor
Directed by Saul Metzstein
Re-appearing after its defeat a year previous, The Great Intelligence forces The Doctor to the location of his grave, wherein is hidden the physical manifestation of his timeline, a map of his life, which in the hands of the wrong people could be used to re-write his life. The Intelligence chooses to do so, at the cost of its own existence. The only way to save The Doctor, and all the good works he did, is with another sacrifice.
Emotionally, the episode worked exceedingly well. We got a solid River Song story, one where we finally see The Doctor admit his feeling for her. But narratively, we’re very »

Cinema’s Greatest Villains: The 1970′s
19 May 2013 4:43 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Recent hot cinema topics such as the portrayal of the Mandarin character in Shane Black’s Iron Man 3 and speculations about what classic Star Trek villain Benedict Cumberbatch’s character in J.J Abrams’ Star Trek: Into Darkness was modeled after leading up to the film’s release, among others, underline the importance of great villains in genre cinema.
Creating a great cinematic villain is a difficult goal that makes for an incredibly rewarding and memorable viewer experience when it is achieved.
We’ll now take a look at the greatest film villains. Other writing on this subject tends to be a bit unfocused, as “greatest villain” articles tend to mix live-action human villains with animated characters and even animals. Many of these articles also lack a cohesive quality as they attempt to cover too much ground at once by spanning all of film history.
This article focuses on the 1970’s, »

Cannes Film Review: ‘Jodorowsky’s Dune’
19 May 2013 1:47 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Founded on the iffy premise, raised here by Nicolas Winding Refn, that the combination of a cult book plus a cult director would have equaled a bigger-than-“Star Wars” worldwide sci-fi sensation, “Jodorowsky’s Dune” indulges one of film history’s more entertaining “what if” stories. Before David Lynch spectacularly botched a bigscreen adaptation of Frank Herbert’s “Dune,” Alejandro Jodorowsky, cinema’s shaman of psychedelia, had a spectacular go at the job. Nearly 40 years later, first-time director Frank Pavich attempts to re-create that vision (in our imaginations, at least). Expect fanboys to flip and minds to be blown over the highly entertaining result.
The year was 1974. After almost singlehandedly inventing the midnight-movie phenomenon with “El Topo,” Jodorowsky had scored a second hit — in France, at least — with his massive head trip, “The Holy Mountain,” prompting producer Michel Seydoux to encourage whatever project the director might want to do next. »

Damon Lindelof Talks Star Trek Into Darkness, the Editing Process, Why They Changed the Order of the First Two Scenes, Trek 3, and More
16 May 2013 3:11 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
With J.J. Abrams Star Trek Into Darkness now playing around the world, we recently landed an exclusive phone interview with Damon Lindelof. During the interview, the Into Darkness screenwriter/producer talked about making the sequel, the length of the first cut, deleted scenes, how the beginning of the film changed during the editing process, whether an extended cut of Into Darkness will be on the Blu-ray, when a third film could possibly get made, and a lot more. Hit the jump for what he had to say. Question: What have the last few days been like for you? This is a hardcore press junket. Damon Lindelof: First off, when you’re a writer and you’re a producer, traditionally the junkets are really focused on the beautiful people and nobody wants to talk to you. But I think when you get involved in this type of sci-fi legend, whether »

This weekend, Star Trek Into Darkness hits theaters and the common consensus among reviewers seems to be that Jj Abrams' adaptation of the beloved series is even better this time around. The thing we're most excited about, of course, is Zoe Saldana's return as a young Nyota Uhura. Apparently Saldana's role is much bigger this time around, which means the Star Trek sequel is a can't miss for us!
Of course, lesbian and bisexual women are not strangers to the world of science fiction. In fact, we often find better representation in the fantasy realm than in any other genre. And even when we don't find queer women to swoon over, we find powerful women to root for. »

'Fast & Furious 6' review: "A thrilling ride that tops Fast Five"
13 May 2013 6:18 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Director: Justin Lin; Screenwriter: Chris Morgan; Starring: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Luke Evans, Gina Carano; Running time: 130 mins; Certificate: 12A
The sixth film in a franchise built ostensibly on tough guys driving fast cars has no right to be this exhilarating. A winning combination of audacious set pieces, outrageous stunts, brawny banter and plot twists, Fast & Furious 6 unleashes more than just an incongruous ampersand, blowing its predecessors out of the water on every count.
Those who sat through the end credits of Fast Five will already know the setup – Michelle Rodriguez's character Letty is alive and scowling despite her apparent demise in the fourth movie. This propels Dwayne Johnson's wisecracking Security Service agent Luke Hobbs to entice former adversaries Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Brian (Paul Walker) and his crew to head to London in order to tackle a nefarious gang »
The Most Disappointing Films of All Time: Prometheus
12 May 2013 10:45 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Anghus Houvouras discusses the most disappointing films of all time; first up is Ridley Scott's Prometheus...
With all the discussion created around the most disappointing films of all time, I thought it was time to delve into a regular discussion on the topic. If I learned anything from the first two articles [see here and here], it's that people have a very different idea about what constitutes 'disappointment'. For me, disappointment is a film not just living up to expectations, but ultimately failing to deliver on its promise.
So much of that promise is wrapped up in potential. Most of the films that made the two previous lists were sequels to properties and franchises that had achieved something special. When they tried to replicate that success, the results were anything but. Lofty expectations are the precusor to crushing dissapoinment. When a film has been elevated to such a height that its flaming descent »

Check Out The First Explosive Trailer For ‘Gravity’
10 May 2013 8:26 AM, PDT | Destroy the Brain | See recent Destroy the Brain news »
At the beginning of the year I composed my list of my Most Anticipated Films of 2013. Not a single frame of the film or even a poster had been released yet, but that didn’t stop Alfonso Cuaron’s upcoming film from catapulting itself to the top of my list at the number #2 spot. This of course stems from my adoration for his brilliant previous film Children of Men. It should come as no surprise then that after finally seeing the new explosive trailer for the film that I’m even more confident in its place on my list. The trailer is equal parts beautiful, startling, and downright terrifying. Ridley Scott’s Alien introduced audiences to the idea “that in space no one can hear you scream.” Well, that iconic phrase is made all the more real while watching this first teaser. Gravity stars George Clooney and Sandra Bullock and »

Event Report: Texas Frightmare Weekend 2013
9 May 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
A year has passed, and another Texas Frightmare Weekend has come and gone! Last year Tfw expanded dramatically with a much larger location to become the Southwest's premier horror con. This year they proved that isn't going to change anytime soon.
This con is so hot that guests have begun just showing up without an invite. Veteran character actor Glenn Morshower ("Millennium", The Crazies 2010) popped up on Friday and was set up in the lobby until Saturday, when a table was located for him in the main room. He was swamped all weekend so it's a good thing he came!
The focus of the con (which ran May 3rd-5th) was originally "The Walking Dead," but with a few cancellations (almost all replaced with other guests, some from "Twd"), the star of the Weekend became Danny "Machete" Trejo, who was mobbed every time he was at his table. The presence »

John Carpenter wants a Dead Space movie
8 May 2013 11:30 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
News Aaron Birch 9 May 2013 - 07:24
Legendary director, John Carpenter, has expressed his enthusiasm for a Dead Space movie...
Talking to Game Informer, John Carpenter has clearly stated that he'd greatly welcome the chance to work on a movie adaptation of Electronic Arts' Dead Space, a license that isn't all that far removed from his own cult classic, The Thing.
Comparing the first game to Ridley Scott's Alien, Carpenter believes that Dead Space is prime material, and is perfect for a Hollywood outing.
When asked about the Dead Space series, Carpenter said, "The first game was more - I guess it was like Alien - but not quite. It was a little different than that.
"I maintain that Dead Space would just make a great movie because you have these people coming onto an abandoned, shut-down space ship and they have to start it up and something's on board. »

Three Genre Vets Join 'Town That Dreaded Sundown' Remake
8 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Three horror vets join Alfonso Gomez-Rejon's remake of the 1976 slasher film The Town That Dreaded Sundown. The film is based on the true story of a serial killer that stalked a small Texas town in 1946. At least five people were killed and the perpetrator was never caught. Addison Timlin (Derailed, Zero Hour) has already been cast as the headliner. Joining her are Veronica Cartwright, Gary Cole, and Joshua Leonard.
Cartwright will play Timlin's grandmother, who raises her after her parents are killed in a car accident. In a career spanning over 50 years, Cartwright has had many roles in genre films, including The Birds, Alien, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Candyman: Farewell to Flesh.
Cole will play a deputy who is chasing the hooded killer. Cole is probably best known for his role in Office Space, but to me, he will always be Lucas Buck from American Gothic.

'Doctor Who' 50th anniversary special 'won't feature old Doctors'
1 May 2013 9:49 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special will reportedly not feature any stars from the 'classic series'.
David Tennant will be the only former Doctor joining Matt Smith in the celebratory episode, Doctor Who Magazine claims.
Christopher Eccleston - who appeared as the Ninth Doctor in 2005 - was approached to appear in the special, but ultimately declined to take part.
Sylvester McCoy - who played the Seventh Doctor from 1987 to 1996 - previously told Digital Spy that the "20th century Doctors" had not been asked to return to the show.
"All of us want to do it, just for the fans - because that's what they want," he explained. "But we've heard nothing - Tom Baker's heard nothing, Colin Baker, Peter Davison, Paul McGann… none of us have heard anything."
Billie Piper has been confirmed to be reprising her role of Rose Tyler in the 50th special, penned by Who showrunner Steven Moffat. »
