Admittedly, it’s hardly the most enlightening piece of news about Star Wars: Episode VII, but it’s still fun to see who J.J. Abrams is gathering to work on the new trip to that Galaxy Far, Far Away. One of the first confirmed members of his team is an old Abrams hand and recent Empire interviewee, costume designer Michael Kaplan.It’s not tough to see why Abrams would tap Kaplan for the job. They worked together to revise the look of Captain Kirk and co on Star Trek and Into Darkness, and Kaplan also provided the togs for Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, which Abrams produced.But Kaplan’s CV goes back much further and deeper than just the Enterprise crew. One of his earliest jobs was working alongside Charles Knode on 1982’s Blade Runner. He also counts Flashdance, Fight Club, Panic Room, Pearl Harbor, Curly Sue, Clue, I Am Legend »

Hannibal, Season 1, Episode 8: “Fromage”
Directed by Tim Hunter
Written by Jennifer Schuur and Bryan Fuller
Airs Thursdays at 10pm Est on NBC
Breaking Bad; Boardwalk Empire; Mad Men, Justified; Sons Of Anarchy; Louie; Girls; Shameless, The Americans; Game of Thrones; The number of new quality TV series keeps growing, and we can now add Hannibal to that list.
Over the past 30 years, television has undergone vast improvement. The wave of high-quality niche series may have started as early as the 1980s with Miami Vice, and later with the success of Twin Peaks in the 90′s, but it was only recently that several of these intelligent niche productions have been leading the pack with the highest ratings. Back in the days, a network’s goal was to equally please as many viewers as possible. Now the aim is to please relatively fewer viewers but keep them coming back each and every week. »

Eighteen years on, Heat is still an important, influential film. We look at how Michael Mann's research made for a powerful crime drama...
"This is based on observations. This is based on people I have met, people I've known, people I've sat with and talked to. Thieves, cops, killers. It's not derived from other cinema, it's based on research." Michael Mann
Cool, measured, melancholy and stylish, Michael Mann's Heat was a box office hit in 1995, and 18 years on, its impact can still be felt. A story about two weary men on either side of the law - one a cop married to his profession, the other a career criminal with no intention of going straight - Heat is also a movie about Los Angeles, in all its sparkly opulence and grimy malaise. Other directors have attempted to bottle some of Heat's »

Trevor Hogg chats with Academy Award winner William Goldenberg about the nervousness and excitement he experienced while collaborating with Michael Mann for the first time....
“Michael [Mann] is the most meticulous director I have ever worked with to the point of obsession,” states William Goldenberg who has collaborated with Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Gone, Argo), Kathryn Bigelow (Zero Dark Thirty), Gary Ross (Seabiscuit, Pleasantville) and Michael Bay (Transformers: Dark of the Moon). “When we did The Insider [1999] we shot in almost every location where the actual event happened. He would want to make sure down to what tie, ring or watch the actors had on; it is complete authenticity at any price.” Goldenberg is impressed by the ability of Mann to have the stamina and wherewithal to write and director while still having the energy to pay attention to detail. “When Michael watches dailies he sits with a tape or digital »

There's a Doctor Strange movie rumor that originated at C.H.U.D. who claim that Marvel is looking at actor/screenwriter Justin Theroux to possibly take on the part of Stephen Strange in the film. Here's what they say...
I am told that there is a strong interest over at the House of Lee in seeing Seamus O’Grady (Theroux) become the Sorcerer Supreme. In fact, if it still holds true, it’s quite possible that Theroux himself is already at work on the script.
There's absolutely no confirmation on this news, and it will most likely be debunked, but you never know what will happen. Theroux appeared in movies and TV series such as Zoolander, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Six Feet Under, Miami Vice, Your Highness, and more. I can actually see him in the role. If this turned out to be true, he would be an excellent choice. »

"Django Unchained" star Jamie Foxx will be honored with the much-coveted Generation Award at this Sunday's MTV Movie Awards, according to MTV News.
Foxx has amassed an impressive body of work over the years, working with such respected directors as Michael Mann ("Miami Vice," "Collateral" and "Ali"), Oliver Stone ("Any Given Sunday") and, of course, Quentin Tarantino ("Django Unchained"). He won the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of musician Ray Charles in "Ray" (2004) and received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Mann's "Collateral."
Foxx will next be seen as the President of the United States in "White House Down," the Channing Tatum action film opening June 28, and is set to write, direct and possibly star in a five-episode horror anthology series that will air on Syfy this fall. He'll be seen next summer as the villainous Electro in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."

As a child growing up in the ’80s, I had a Commodore 64. It was my first home computer – my pride and joy – and my first real experience of gaming of any kind. My memories of the Commodore 64 are fond ones, though looking back it’s hard to believe that we could have been so enthralled by such a comparatively poor gaming scene – at least when you stop and consider how much video gaming has evolved in such a short period of time.
Today we’re spoiled with a world of Xboxes and Playstations and Wiis, as gaming moves on so quickly, leaving technology obsolete within a matter of a few months in some cases. That said, the Commodore 64 is still the best-selling single PC model of all time (yes, really). With 64k of memory and 16 colours, it was really quite state-of-the art for its era.

Dead Man Dies the Death: Farrell and 2013 have another major box-office bomb Directed by Niels Arden Oplev, best known for the Swedish-made blockbuster The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and starring Colin Farrell, whose box-office clout has diminished quite a bit in recent years following a whole string of box-office disappointments or downright disasters, the revenge thriller Dead Man Down has been turned into the most recent 2013 box-office disaster. The R-rated film, which also stars the Swedish film's Dragon-Tattooed girl, Noomi Rapace, opened with an embarrassing $5.35 million at 2,188 site, averaging a measly $2,445 per location as per studio (FilmDistrict) estimates found on the web site Box Office Mojo. (Pictured above: Colin Farrell holds his ground next to Noomi Rapace in Dead Man Down.) Expect the latest disappointing FilmDistrict release to vanish from Us and Canadian screens in the next couple of weeks; indeed, Farrell's action flick will be extremely lucky if »

Colin Farrell might be the most underrated actor of his generation. While maybe he hasn’t been the best at picking projects, he’s certainly never been the worst thing in any of his pictures. In fact in some, he’s been the best, including In Bruges and Miami Vice. Now Farrell returns to the crime genre with Dead Man Down, about a man hell bent on revenge who must also assist his next door neighbor (played by Noomi Rapace) in her own little schemes. It’s a tight thriller, and Farrell turns in another solid performance. We were lucky to have the chance to sit down with Mr. Farrell to discuss the film. [ Read More ]

There’s no pinning Colin Farrell down. The Irish actor has turned in memorable performances in every genre of film since bursting onto the scene with his breakout role in 2000’s war film Tigerland.
Sure, there’s been a few missteps along the way… we’re sure we’re not the only ones who regret his bald-headed, leather-clad turn in Daredevil or the seemingly never-ending 214 minute cut of Alexander. But for every role we’d like to forget, Farrell wins us back with movies like Seven Psychopaths, The New World, and yes, even Miami Vice.
Farrell is back on the big screen this week as a crime lord’s right-hand man in Dead Man Down. Farrell stars alongside Noomi Rapace in the film directed by the man behind the original Swedish-language Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Niels Arden Oplev.
We pay homage to one of our favourite Irish stars as »

When I heard that The CW was developing a prequel to Sex & The City that focused on Carrie Bradshaw's introduction to Manhattan in the mid-80's, I was ... wary.
In the first place, The Carrie Diaries changed Carrie's backstory. In Satc she spoke about how her father walked out on her and her mother when she was young, and she never saw him again. In Tcd, her mother has just died, and her father is trying to raise Carrie and her sullen sister (who we also never heard of in Satc) by himself.
That I can handle, but the fact that it takes place in the 80's was a potential deal breaker. I try to steer clear of any TV show or movie set in the 80's because they usually get it so ... wrong. It's either so eye-rollingly obvious or annoyingly anachronistic (Excuse me! Your movie takes place in early 1983, but features "Karma Chameleon, »

What is integrity? Does it exist solely as the inspiration of virtuous intent or can it also shine through a veil of self-interest?
Or does it truly exist at all?
The Insider, on the surface, doesn't look like a film that could answer those questions, and to a large degree it answers none of them. Instead, it does what great art should do: It poses tough questions, shows us how humans deal with them, and leaves us to wonder, "What would I do?"
The film primarily tells the story of two men. 60 Minutes producer Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) receives a packet of insider info for a story he's doing on the link between cigarettes and house fires. To decrypt the more scientific elements of the story, he tries to enlist the help of Jeffery Weigand (Russell Crowe), a recently-deposed tobacco VP.
But what starts as a simple consultation becomes a »

"Feels like an introduction in the form of a two-hour pilot, setting us up for the squad's weekly adventures, a la CSI or Miami Vice" Ray Winstone has made a damn good living for himself, playing tough guys on the wrong side of the law. Think Sexy Beast and The Departed,for instance. In the new film The Sweeney, it could be said that once again, he's on the wrong side of the law, but in this case, it's because he's playing a cop. I say that it's wrong because this is little more than a feature-length Law & Order episode, a procedural that's gritty and grotty by turns, but nothing particularly special. »

Sleep Tight
Stars: Luis Tosar, Marta Etura, Alberto San Juan, Iris Ameida, Petra Martinez | Written by Alberto Marini | Directed by Jaume Balagueró
Director Jaume Balagueró flies solo with Sleep Tight, a film that – like his most famous effort – once again takes place in a apartment building, however this time his film has more in common with the classic cinema of Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski than the modern zombie horror of Balagueró’s [Rec].
Sleep Tight follows Cesar (Tosar), the quiet, helpful and polite concierge of an apartment block in Barcelona. However his polite exterior hides something much more… sinister. Relishing in tormenting Veronica, an old lady who lives all alone in her apartment surrounded by her pets and at odds with one of the buildings younger tenants, Cesar spends most of his days plotting against Clara, a happy-go-lucky young woman with whom he has an unhealthy obsession. An obsession that, »

Adele is halfway to an Egot (winning an Emmy, Oscar, Grammy and a Tony) and she's got plans to complete the title.
The "Rolling In The Deep" singer took home an Oscar for "Skyfall" at the 2013 ceremony and already has multiple Grammys to her name. What will she do for the Emmy and Tony?
"Maybe I'll do an HBO special like Beyonce did," she said backstage at the Dolby Theater on Sunday, Feb. 24. "And a Tony, I'm not so sure. Maybe someday I'll do a musical."
The current list of Egot honorees is a short one. Actors John Gielgud, Helen Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno and Whoopi Goldberg have received all four awards, as have composers Marvin Hamlisch, Richard Rodgers and Jonathan Tunick. Mel Brooks, director Mike Nichols and producer Scott Rudin have also gotten all four. James Earl Jones, Liza Minnelli and Barbra Streisand are considered Egot winners, but »
