Enterprising: Scott Chambliss talks about J.J. Abrams & Star Trek Into Darkness
3 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Trevor Hogg chats with Scott Chambliss about collaborating with J.J. Abrams, making Star Trek Into Darkness and the art of production design...
“J.J. is the genius kid who has a great personality too so you can’t hate him,” chuckles long-time J.J. Abrams collaborator Scott Chambliss who has done production design work for him ever since they brought the television series Felicity [Wbtn, 2000 to 2001] to the small screen. “He’s quick on the draw and is also brave. The telling moments for us in terms of the transition were at the beginning of Mission: Impossible 3 [2006]. It was being strongly suggested to him that he surround himself with a bunch of well-known seasoned pros on every level, in front and behind the camera. J.J. made a strong case that he’d do a better job for them if he brought some of his key players with him; once J.J. »

'Return of the Jedi': 25 Things You Didn't Know About the Original 'Star Wars' Trilogy Finale
17 hours ago | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... well, Ok, 30 years ago (on May 25, 1983) in our own galaxy, came the theatrical release of "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi." The installment triumphantly wrapped up the "Star Wars" saga for all time. Or so we thought. Little did we know that the movie's cuddly-but-ferocious Ewoks would soon spawn a cottage industry of spinoffs, or that we'd be getting a trilogy of "Star Wars" prequels in another 16 years, and "Jedi" sequels another 15 years after that ("Episode VII" is due in 2014). Nor did we know, at the time, how close "Jedi" came to being an art-house film (judging by the directors whom "Star Wars" guru George Lucas initially asked to take the helm), or how close we came to losing Han Solo (Harrison Ford), or many of the other secrets of "jedi," which you can read below. 1.

Comic Book Review - Half Past Danger #1
18 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Luke Owen reviews the first issue of Half Past Danger...
Dames. Dinosaurs. Danger. Summer, 1943, and in the midst of a war waged by monsters, Staff Sergeant Tommy ‘Irish’ Flynn never expected to encounter a real one. But on a remote island in the South Pacific, Flynn and his squad come face-to-fanged-face with creatures long thought dead.
As the comic begins, Stephen Mooney notes that this is, "for my Dad Dermot Mooney who took me to the movies". And you can tell from the early pages of Half Past Danger #1 that Mooney has certainly been influenced of the adventure films of old. Elements of Raiders of the Lost Ark, King Kong, The Lost World etc are scattered through this in what ends up being a fairly good first half, but not so great second.
The opening sequence on the island in the South Pacific where the team encounter dinosaurs is absolutely brilliant. »

Doctor Who: top 11 "other" Doctors
21 May 2013 1:11 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Cameron K McEwan 22 May 2013 - 07:00
Cameron gives us the run-down on 11 other versions of the Doctor, featuring robots, Dream Lords, and more...
Warning: contains a major spoiler for The Name of the Doctor.
With the curtain-closing, hair-raising Doctor Who finale in the past and now but a fond memory, The Name of the Doctor threw up a new Doctor Who for us all to enjoy (and rampantly speculate about for the next six months). But this is not the first time fans have had to unexpectedly encounter a new, or "other" Doctor. Here's my favourite eleven below (apologies to Richard Hurndall and all the Morbius Doctors, you just missed out).
11. The Fatal Death Doctor
Okay, this is a slight cheat but if you want to know why he's on the list, I'll explain later. Steven Moffat penned a delightful Doctor Who mini-story for Comic Relief back in 1999; a »

All the road rage: Fast & Furious 6 taps a modern vein
20 May 2013 6:40 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Without superheroes or aliens, the F&F franchise has made speed, laced with rage, one of film's most beloved intoxicants
The reason for the burgeoning success of the Fast & Furious films eludes some people. This apparently humdrum franchise manages without superheroes, intergalactic conflict, aliens, zombies, vampires or 3D. What has it got? Perhaps the clue's in the title. Speed and rage have come to form an alluring combination.
Speed, said Aldous Huxley, "provides the one genuinely modern pleasure." Until the 1820s, no one had travelled faster than a galloping horse; by the 1840s, trains were zipping along at 70mph. Speed began to redefine human life, as the acceleration of output yielded previously unimaginable benefits. The Gpo documentary Night Mail, with its pulsing pistons, captured the exaltation this engendered. But if the hastening tempo of the railway age brought collective liberation, it imposed a new tyranny on the individual.

Cannes Film Festival Opening: A ‘Great’ Evening
15 May 2013 11:51 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
There was plenty of Baz-razzmatazz as the 66th Cannes Film Festival bowed with a mix of fun, lofty hopes and melancholy that F. Scott Fitzgerald would have appreciated.
In the spirit of opener “The Great Gatsby,” a troupe of dancers dressed in 1920s-style outfits burst out of a period car and performed a dance on the red carpet.
Throngs of fans lined the road to the Palais, where the stars of Warner Bros.’ “Gatsby” elicited screams and cheers, and big names glamming it up on the red carpet included Julianne Moore, Freida Pinto, Lana Del Rey, Florence Welch, Nicole Kidman, Cindy Crawford, Fan Bingbing, Ludivine Sagnier, Zhang Ziyi, Walter Salles, Michel Piccoli, Agnes Varda and Roskino CEO Katya Mtsitouridze. France’s Minister of Culture Aurelie Filipetti and Venice Film Festival topper Alberto Barbera were also in attendance.

Body of Proof Review: The Cost of Justice
14 May 2013 11:55 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
"Breakout" was a bit of an odd episode to review and it took a little research to figure out why.
Apparently, it was filmed as the third episode of the season, or so I've read, which would explain some character interactions that made little sense in the given time line of the show.
I don't know why the powers that be chose to wait to show this episode now as the second to last of the season, but I found the disjointed character arcs jarring to watch.
First off Megan was, to put it bluntly, more of a b*tch than we've seen her be in a while. She's obviously mellowed somewhat over the course of Body of Proof season 3 because I found her scenes with Ethan and Adam particularly harsh.
Megan and Adam were just getting to know one another here and I appreciated that although he was uncomfortable with her questioning, »

Happy Birthday, George Lucas!
14 May 2013 9:32 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The Force is strong with this one: On May 14, 1944 in Modesto, Calif., George Lucas was born to parents Dorothy and George Lucas, Sr. Sixty-nine years later, Lucas is one of the most influential filmmakers in the history of Hollywood, the man who made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs who created "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones."
After making his directorial debut with 1971's "Thx 1138," Lucas co-wrote and directed the coming-of-age classic "American Graffiti." (The film was based on Lucas' early life in Modesto.) Featuring a bevy of future stars like Harrison Ford, Ron Howard and Richard Dreyfuss, "American Graffiti" was a hit; the 1973 film earned five Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Director for Lucas and Best Original Screenplay for Lucas, Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck. After "American Graffiti" came a little film called "Star Wars" (later known as "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope").

#Movie Social Scene: Star Wars sets still intact, production peek at Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
13 May 2013 8:45 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
Social media has become an added medium of coverage to all news genres, including sports, politics and entertainment. We’re bringing you a social media round-up of interesting and entertaining items making film headlines in the social sphere.
Remember those iconic desert scenes in Star Wars on Luke Skywalker’s fictional home planet of Tatooine? Well, those scenes are still set up here on earth.
According to Mashable, visual artist and filmmaker Rä di Martino recently photographed the abandoned sets in Tunisia, North Africa. The props have eerily stood the test of time, for the most part, still showing a bit of what George Lucas put in place for the 1977 film. Oddly enough, the surrounding geographical area also served as a backdrop for Lucas’ Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Star Wars Episode VII to Shoot in the UK
13 May 2013 1:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
With a 2015 release date pencilled into the calendar, all eyes are soon going to be turning to Star Wars Episode VII’s production. The film instantly became one of the most talked-about projects when it was announced that Disney were buying Lucasfilm last year, and launching a long-discussed new trilogy.
After a search, filled with rumours from the likes of Matthew Vaughn and Colin Trevorrow, J.J. Abrams officially took the job to direct the upcoming blockbuster back in January. And now Lucasfilm are announcing that Abrams and co. will be heading to our shores to shoot Star Wars Episode VII, following in the footsteps of the past six films.
All of its predecessors have been at least partly filmed here in the UK, shooting in the likes of Pinewood, Leavesden, Elstree, Shepperton, and Ealing Studios. And now Episode VII will be the latest in the franchise to do the same. »

It turns out that J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm are sticking with tradition for the next Star Wars film. They've announced that they are going to be filming Episode VII in the UK.

Star Wars: Episode VII Will Officially Film in the UK

What, you thought we'd go a week without some sort of Star Wars related news? Nope, and even better, this one is official and comes from a press release issued by Lucasfilm. As they have with the previous Star Wars films, they have confirmed that Episode VII will officially film in the United Kingdom...those lucky bastards.
Hopefully now that Star Trek Into Darkness is soon to release and full attention is turned to Episode VII, more official news (such as this) will be more free flowing, and we'll see less and less rumors. We already know, thanks to Kathleen Kennedy, that this production won't be secretive as we've all feared, so let's keep our fingers crossed the more real info will be coming along regularly.
Tonight's update is that production for the next film is returning to the UK. It's not all that surprising, considering all of the previous films shot there, »

Official Press Release Confirms ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ Will Shoot In The UK!
10 May 2013 4:42 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
For those living in caves for the last 6 months, there’s going to be a new Star Wars film. Now, before you all begin screaming “Christ, no more sleep-incuding space treaty shite”, Jar Jar bloody Binks, or worse, Hayden fu**ing Christensen, George Lucas is not directing. In fact, George shut up shop and flogged the franchise to Disney. Even better, that fella who did a decent job in rebooting Star Trek is at the helm.
Yes, J.J. Abrams will bring us more Jedi mind tricks and is expected to include Luke, Leia and Han somewhere in the script being written by Oscar-winner Michael Arndt. Even more exciting is this brand new press release confirming production, just like the original trilogy and part of the prequels, will again shoot in the UK.
