Box office update: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' flies into first place
19 hours ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness beamed into first place Friday, pushing Tony Stark and his Iron Man suit into the No. 2 spot. The highly-anticipated sci-fi sequel, which opened wide on Wednesday, made an estimated $22.0 million on Friday in 3,868 locations, including 336 IMAX 3D locations, bringing its domestic total to $35.5 million. This was somewhat shy of expectations: The first Star Trek of the Abrams era opened in May 2009 to a $26.98 million Friday in 3,849 theaters.
As a director, J.J. Abrams has a limited history at the box office. His only other efforts are 2011′s relatively low-budget ($50 million) Super 8, and 2006′s Mission: Impossible III. »

Much like his 2009 reboot, J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness is the popcorniest popcorn blockbuster that modern Hollywood is able to pop. The Super 8 and Mission: Impossible III director has cracked the code for well-calibrated summer-movie thrills… which means that Into Darkness has peaks and valleys like an amusement park roller-coaster ride. It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s frivolous. It’s essentially everything you want your summer blockbusters to be. But will your children dig it? Let’s beam ourselves up, violate the Prime Directive, assume the captain’s chair of the Starship Enterprise and figure out when you can watch Star Trek Into Darkness with your kids. Green...

5 Things You Might Not Know About 'Star Trek Into Darkness'
14 May 2013 9:57 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
This week, one of the most hotly anticipated (and deliberately mysterious) movies of the summer movie season boldly goes into theaters nationwide. "Star Trek Into Darkness" is director J.J. Abrams' follow-up to the ridiculously entertaining 2009 "Star Trek" reboot, which introduced audiences to a younger, sexier Enterprise crew and turned the occasionally lifeless original series into a zippy space opera. The first film was the best kind of surprise -- Abrams only had a single feature under his belt (the somewhat disappointing "Mission: Impossible III") and had yet to solidify his magic-loving geek-cred persona into an identifiable, Steven Spielberg-like brand. "Star Trek Into Darkness" is less of an unknown quantity in that respect, but Abrams and his confederates have tried, tirelessly, to keep the movie shrouded in mystery, offering all sorts of red herrings and deliberate attempts at obscuring plot details from being delivered prematurely.

From 'Star Trek' To 'Star Wars'
13 May 2013 12:19 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
London — J.J. Abrams is master of one universe – and he's about to try conquering another.
The director who rebooted "Star Trek" for a new generation, sending the USS Enterprise out again to explore strange new worlds, has also been put at the "Star Wars" helm. Soon he'll direct a new film, the seventh, in the epic sci-fi franchise.
So while Abrams is in London to talk about his second "Trek" feature, "Star Trek Into Darkness" – releasing in U.S. theaters on May 17 – the topic inevitably drifts to a galaxy far, far away.
"I feel preposterously lucky," said Abrams, a self-declared "Star Wars" fanboy.
"I do feel at the core this incredible disbelief that I'm actually even answering questions at all about my involvement in something that until fairly recently I didn't even know was going to come back as a series. And now I get to be involved in it. »

First official set photo from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
12 May 2013 10:45 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Earlier this week, 20th Century Fox officially announced the start of production on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes with an official plot synopsis, and after dropping the official logo yesterday, director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) has taken to Twitter to debut the first official production still from next year's sequel, which sees pre-cg Caeser (Andy Serkis) on horseback confronting Jason Clarke (The Great Gatsby):
"A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species."
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is set for release on May 23rd 2014, with a cast that also includes Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises), Keri Russell »

Star Trek Into Darkness: how it was made, by the people who made it
11 May 2013 4:23 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Jj Abrams got 'the band back together' for his big budget sequel. We meet the key players to talk period hair, blue drinks and 'sexy Klingons'
You know how it went: in 2009 Jj Abrams – creator of Lost, director of Mission: Impossible 3 – exhumed the rotting corpse of Star Trek, not only bringing a dying franchise back to life but making it cool. He achieved this without giving it a radical spin, without going dark and gritty, as is the way these days. He just made it really, really good, rescuing Star Trek from sweaty convention halls, making its niche universe universal.
A key factor was his non-allegiance to Star Trek. He wasn't a fan, thus went to work purely as a storyteller, without having to deal with any emotional baggage or nostalgic attachment. It paid off – the film took $385m at the box office and gave the galactic horn to fans and non-fans alike. »

Star Trek's Jj Abrams: 'I've come to love it by working on it'
10 May 2013 12:46 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The director took some flak after his first Trek film by admitting he wasn't a fan of the TV series. Now, back with another one, does he regret what he said? And what plans does he have for his first Star Wars movie?
When Jj Abrams was handed the task of revitalising the Star Trek franchise in 2006, the portents were not good. His first directing job, Mission: Impossible III, had not been finished, he had a string of script commissions behind him of variable quality – including Michael Bay's infamous asteroid-masher Armageddon. He had small-screen chops for sure, earned via successful series Alias and Lost, but many a TV guy has stumbled when attempting to deliver proper cinema. Now, seven years later, Abrams is king of the Hollywood heap: sitting on billions of dollars in box office, a second Star Trek film poised for release, and a deal up his »

Tom Cruise Confirmed for Mission: Impossible 5
6 May 2013 3:53 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Tom Cruise has finalized a deal to star in and produce Mission: Impossible 5 for Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions. The actor will reprise his role as Ethan Hunt from Mission: Impossible (1996), Mission: Impossible 2 (2000), Mission: Impossible III (2006), and Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (2011).
Christopher McQuarrie has been mentioned to direct this fifth installment in the action franchise, but no deal has been finalized yet. We reported in November that Tom Cruise hoped to reunite with Christopher McQuarrie on this project, after working together on last year's Jack Reacher. Christopher McQuarrie wrote the script for Tom Cruise's 2008 World War II drama Valkyrie, and the writer-director also provided uncredited screenplay polishes on All You Need Is Kill and Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol.
Paramount will co-finance the project with David Ellison's Skydance Productions. Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol was produced on a $145 million budget, and it went on to make nearly $700 million worldwide. »

Tom Cruise Accepts Mission: Impossible 5
6 May 2013 3:35 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
The brightest, shiniest star in Hollywood, Tom Cruise, has signed on to star in Mission: Impossible 5. The news has been confirmed by Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions, who were both behind the last instalment. As yet, no director or writer has been revealed – but Deadline has it on good authority that the guy for the director’s chair is none other than Christopher McQuarrie.
Who’s that, you might ask? McQuarrie was the director behind the newly-spawned Jack Reacher franchise. No stranger to the Cruise, he’s collaborated with him on three previous projects. Valkyrie, Jack Reacher and the upcoming sci-fi flick All You Need Is Kill. The will-it-won’t-it-happen Top Gun 2 may further extend their partnership.
Whoever lands the gig will be working under the umbrella of Jj Abrams’ Bad Robot production house. Abrams, who directed Mission: Impossible 3, remained onboard the franchise for the fourth instalment. »

Tom Cruise Officially Signs on to Produce and Star in Mission: Impossible 5

It’s going to be incredibly tough to top director Brad Bird’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, but it appears that Tom Cruise is officially up for the challenge. Cruise has now signed a deal to star in and produce Mission: Impossible 5 for Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions. There’s no official word on who will be writing and/or directing the next installment of the franchise, but Cruise’s Jack Reacher writer/director Christopher McQuarrie is supposedly in line to take the gig. Hit the jump for more, including a refresher on Cruise’s upcoming schedule. Per Deadline, Cruise has signed on to star in and produce the fifth Mission: Impossible film. The writer/director of the pic is expected to be announced shortly, and that person (probably McQuarrie) will develop the film with Cruise and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot.

Special Features - Star Wars: Episode VII - Another Menace or Return of the Jedi?
5 May 2013 3:59 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
It's Star Trek Month here at Flickering Myth, but as J.J. Abrams prepares to swap the Federation for a galaxy far, far away, Ozzy Armstrong celebrates Star Wars Day by looking towards the future of the franchise with Star Wars: Episode VII....
When people talk about Star Wars, most people immediately think back to the Original Trilogy - Darth Vader, Ewoks and fond childhood memories. After Return of the Jedi, we had to wait 15 years for the next episode and unfortunately the high hopes that we felt were swiftly replaced by annoyance, disappointment, and in many cases, hard-core fan boy anger. The next two offerings weren’t much better and left many of us wondering whether we’d ever see worthy successors to the original classics.
All was quiet for many years until the startling announcement came that not one but three new Star Wars films would be released starting »

Weekend Report: 'Iron Man 3' Takes Off with Second-Highest Opening Ever
5 May 2013 12:57 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Kicking off the Summer movie season this weekend, Iron Man 3 lived up to sky-high expectations with $174.1 million haul. That ranks second all-time behind last year's The Avengers ($207.4 million), and is way up on the previous Iron Man outings. The movie also continues to do phenomenal business overseas, and is on its way to earning well over $1 billion worldwide.Iron Man 3's $174.1 million debut is a huge leap over Iron Man 2's $128.1 million. That's a remarkable achievement given the dodgy history of three-quels*nearly all of them decline from their predecessor*and Iron Man 2's questionable reputation. The main reason for this is simple: audiences viewed Iron Man 3 more as follow-up to The Avengers, which is almost universally beloved, than as a sequel to Iron Man 2.The Avengers was a cultural phenomenon, though, and it took an exceptional marketing effort from Disney to retain so much of that movie's audience. »
