'Fast & Furious 6' star Michelle Rodriguez wishes there were better female superheroes
9 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Hollywood has a go-to tough girl, and her name is Michelle Rodriguez. Ever since her breakout role in Girlfight, the 2000 indie where she played a troubled teen who finds her identity through boxing, Rodriguez has dominated the market on roles that call for a tough, no-nonsense beauty who can throw a punch without breaking her withering glare. Not only is she the alpha-female in the Fast and the Furious franchise, but she piloted a space chopper in Avatar, played a vengeful ex-cop on Lost, and scrapped with aliens in Battle: Los Angeles.
EW caught up with Rodriguez at the Los »

20 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. »

‘Swan Lake’ Grabs James Cameron For Live 3D Show
22 May 2013 5:35 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
It has been announced today that James Cameron will direct a live worldwide broadcast of the worldwide hit Swan Lake next month. The broadcast, from The Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, will be screened to 50 countries across the globe. Mariinsky’s artistic director Valery Gergiev will conduct alongside Ekaterina Kondaurova in the starring role. Cameron plans to make use of the 3D technology he has pioneered with films such as Avatar and also used in Ang Lee’s Life Of Pi to make the production an event viewers won’t forget in a hurry.
The director and producer behind such box office juggernauts as Titanic and Aliens has been quiet of late; his last box office outing was 2009′s Avatar which currently holds the record for the highest grossing film of all time. Avatar 2 is scheduled for 2015 with Avatar 3 also in the works.

Fast 6’s Michelle Rodriguez on Coming Back From the Dead and the Women of the Franchise
21 May 2013 1:15 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
With a franchise as long-running as The Fast and the Furious, it’s not unusual to see characters come and go from film to film — unless they’ve been killed off. Michelle Rodriguez’s character, Letty Ortiz, seemingly perished at the end of the series’ fourth installment, but that didn't stop the Fast & Furious 6 team from bringing her back from beyond the veil. Vulture recently got on the phone with the actress, who’s also appeared in Avatar and on Lost, to talk about what it’s like to be resurrected, why she won't sing karaoke with Vin Diesel, and the women of the franchise.When you first took on the role of Letty, did you imagine the series turning into something so huge?Hell, no. Are you kidding me? First one, I just couldn’t believe there was going to be a movie that had this kind of stuff happening. »

What Went Wrong?
20 May 2013 6:10 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Warning: Spoilers about "Star Trek Into Darkness" lie ahead.
Looks like the phasers were set to stun after all: despite the added benefit of 3-D surcharges, "Star Trek Into Darkness" opened with $84 million over its first four days of release, just $9 million more than its 2009 predecessor managed in just three days. (Over three days, "Star Trek Into Darkness" made $5 million less than "Star Trek.") That's a far cry from the $100 million opening Paramount had targeted for "Into Darkness" following its $13.5 million opening day on Thursday. While it's doubtful there are too many tears being shed on the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise -- "Star Trek Into Darkness" added $80 million overseas, already putting it on track to top the $127 million "Star Trek" earned internationally in 2009 -- the "Into Darkness" opening was a domestic disappointment. Why did J.J. Abrams' highly anticipated film trip out of the starting gate? Ahead, »

Zoe Saldana prefers male company
18 May 2013 3:01 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Zoe Saldana has more male than female friends. The 34-year-old actress loved being part of the almost completely male cast of 'Star Trek Into Darkness' because she is more comfortable with men. She said: 'It's a very accurate reflection of how I am in my own life. I have more male than female friends.' Zoe also revealed she and co-stars Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine kept in touch between 2009's 'Star Trek' and its sequel through chain emails. She told Us Weekly magazine: ''We stay in touch through chain emails, we all joke and congratulate each other on personal and professional successes.

5 Movie Mistakes Caused By CGI
17 May 2013 5:22 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Computer Effects have always been a staple of cinema. In the 60s, several independent films gave a shot at producing realistic monsters and effects. When Star Wars came about in the 70s people were spellbound by the Lasers and Lightsabers and all the other goodies George Lucas and Industrial Light and Magic brought us. Since then CGI has taken cinema to new worlds and shown us new events that we could only dream of.
Perhaps the greatest advancement in the world of film in recent years has been the improvements made to Computer Generated Images. Michael Bay has stood atop the box office with a money net almost entirely on the basis that he can bring an extravaganza of special effects to his films. James Cameron gave grace and nightmarish detail to the sinking of the Titanic and lush and spellbinding beauty to the world of Pandora in Avatar. George Lucas »

Watch Video Below
CineMovie’s Fernando Esquivel sat down with the Star Trek Into Darkness actress who plays Uhura in the beloved sci-fi franchise. In the sequel to the 2009 hit directed by J.J. Abrams, Uhura’s romance with Spock continues to get complicated as the Vulcan’s inability to show human emotion certainly wears on the interspecies love birds. When asked if its any different than a relationship with your average earthling male, Zoe says that’s Uhura’s attraction to Spock is because of his half-human, half-Vulcan sensibility. Uhura and Kirk, according to Zoe, are attempting to

Zoe Saldana has played an alien and a future space traveler - but taking on the role of an actual famous person proved even harder.

Zoe Saldana Responds To Nina Simone Controversy

London -- Zoe Saldana has played an alien and a future space traveler – but taking on the role of an actual famous person proved even harder.
The 34-year-old star of "Avatar" and "Star Trek" plays pianist, singer and activist Nina Simone in the forthcoming biopic "Nina."
Her casting drew criticism from some, who argued that Saldana bears little resemblance to the singer, who died in 2003 aged 70.
Musician India.Arie said "they should have chosen someone who looks like Nina Simone," and an online petition for a boycott of the film attracted more than 10,000 signatures.
But Saldana said she feels strongly that she's right to play Simone, an immense, irascible talent who made an indelible mark on both music and the civil rights movement with songs including "To Be Young, Gifted and Black" and "Mississippi Goddam."

Three sci-fi films just a coincidence for Zoe Saldana

Los Angeles, May 15: After signing Marvel Studio's superhero film "Guardians Of The Galaxy", actress Zoe Saldana has become part of three big sci-fi franchises, including "Avatar" and "Star Trek", but insists it was not planned.
"I haven't thought about it that way, up until this 'Star Trek' promo tour actually, when it was brought to my attention. I read scripts and if I respond well to the story and especially to the character that they want me to consider or that I'm going after, that's what I do," contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.
"And then all of a sudden I stop and I go back and go, 'Oh my god! These three things have so much in common', and then I just keep going. It's not something that I'm strategically looking. »

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the second announced yesterday. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on Fox.
While "The Following" proved a breakout winner, Fox had few success stories last season. So, it is going a bit more ambitious this year with numerous dramas, comedies and one-off "event series".
Several pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen including the family of government-sanctioned assassins drama "Boomerang," the adaptation of Lauren Oliver's book trilogy "Delirium" about a world where love is illegal, the legal interns workplace comedy "To My Assistant," the U.S.S. Lexington-set "The Wild Blue," and "The List" about the hunt for a thief who stole a file containing the secret identities of people in the Witness Security Program,
