Film Review: Visual Excess Dims ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’
14 hours ago | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The anticipation of experiencing the rebooted crew of the starship Enterprise now may overwhelm any creative team’s ability to deliver to that anticipation. “Star Trek Into Darkness” piles on the space war excess, while lessening the savory humanity and memorable characters.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
After successfully relaunching and rebooting the characters and universe of Star Trek in 2009, the team of screenwriters Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof and director J.J. Abrams have serious “Iron Man 2” syndrome in the follow-up – the tendency to emphasize the larger-than-life gadgets and effects over the smaller-than-life interactions of the humans operating the machines. What makes it a bit frustrating is that they nailed the first one so well, that evolving to the second adventure was an anticipatory slam dunk. There are many fine moments involving the Enterprise crew, but those tasty bits are covered with the fake butter of a franchise summer movie. It »

Garry Shandling Returns as Senator Stern in Captain America: The Winter Soldier Set Photos
18 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
If you were disappointed that Garry Shandling's Senator Stern didn't show up in Iron Man 3, Marvel's got your back. The comedian will be reprising his role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, as revealed in a couple of new photos from the set. He was spotted hugging S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Sitwell (Maximiliano Hernández), whom we know is up to no good in this sequel, judging from the way Captain America (Chris Evans) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) treated him in previous behind-the-scenes photos. We also have our first look at Captain America and The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) together, out of costume and in workout gear as part of a new Government training program. Is Stern behind it?
Garry Shandling first played Senator Stern in Iron Man 2, where he wanted Tony Stark to give his armor to the Us government. No plot details have been released in regards to »

Iron Man 3 Crosses $1 Billion at Box Office
20 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The Billionaire Box Office Club has a new member. Just a couple weeks out from its domestic release, Marvel’s Iron Man 3 has now grossed over $1 billion worldwide. That makes the Shane Black-helmed pic the 16th film ever to cross that benchmark, as it surpasses the grosses of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone ($974.9 million), Jurassic Park ($969.4 million), and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End ($963.4 million). It also makes it the second highest grossing Marvel film of all time, easily besting Iron Man 2’s worldwide gross of $623.9 million. Obviously, though, Iron Man 3 has a long way to go to catch up to The Avengers, which takes the number three all-time slot with $1.5 billion. Hit the jump for more. Though the positive reviews/reception certainly helped, one can point to the success of The Avengers as a major contributing factor to Iron Man 3’s box office achievement. »

Does Tony "Iron Man" Stark Exist in Real Life, and Is This Him?
16 May 2013 12:45 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
South African-American entrepreneur Elon Musk is the cofounder of Tesla Motors and PayPal, has a degree in physics, is a green advocate, and the factory of his space-transport company SpaceX was used as a filming location for Iron Man 2. He also happens to have a cameo in the film, but more importantly, director Jon Favreau has indicated that the billionaire was part of the inspiration behind creating his version of genius-playboy-superhero Tony Stark. A new infographic that we spotted on Mashable details the similarities between the two men — including their net worth, career timeline, and future pursuits. Robert Downey Jr. mugs for the camera in Iron Man's powered armored suit, but the real-life Tony Stark is a pretty fascinating guy. Get to know him in the below...

Scarlett Johansson to Make Directorial Debut with 'Summer Crossing'
16 May 2013 9:40 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Just yesterday news surfaced that Scarlett Johansson would reunite with her Iron Man 2 star Robert Downey Jr. and director Jon Favreau for the latter's indie project Chef (though the title may change due to another project with the same title). Now the actress is heading into a new part of her career behind the camera. Variety reports Johansson has signed on to direct an adaptation of Summer Crossing, the first novel by Truman Capote, which was actually considered "lost" for over 50 years before it was published in 2005. The film is on sale at Cannes from Aldamisa, the same company that's handling Favreau's project. Capote's novel (which was only salvaged after a janitor fished a trashed manuscript out of the trash) is described briefly with this synopsis: "Set in New York during the summer of 1945, this is the story of a young carefree socialite, Grady, who must make serious decisions »

Chef vs. Chef: Scarlett Johansson is reuniting with Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau for Chef, which Favreau wrote; he'll also direct and star as a restaurant chef who starts over with a food truck. ScarJo will play a restaurant manager and love interest; Robert Downey Jr. has a cameo. Storm clouds loom, however, because the backers of a rival project about a chef, with Bradley Cooper starring as a chef who wants to open a Paris resaurant, just sent a cease and desist letter to the other production, claiming that they have rights to the title Chef and The Chef. Oh, boy. [Variety / The Hollywood Reporter] The Wolverine: Hugh Jackman is ripped in a new photo from The Wolverine, tweeted by director James Mangold during production.

Bradley Cooper Leading Another 'Chef' Project at Weinstein Company
15 May 2013 9:27 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Hot on the heels of news that The Avengers co-stars Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson would reteam with their Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau for his indie Chef, there's some slightly troubling news of another project with that very same title. This other Chef has been in the works for a little longer with The Weinstein Company backing the project from Eastern Promises writer Steven Wright with August: Osage County director John Wells now at the helm. Now Deadline has word from Cannes that Bradley Cooper has formally agreed to star in the film, and there's a small battle brewing over the title confusion overseas. First of all, Wells' film is about a Paris chef named Adam Jones (Cooper), who destroys his wunderkind status by way of his own out of control behavior. After getting clean and sober, he returns to Paris and attempts to redeem himself by »

Jon Favreau Sells Food from Trucks and Scarlett Johansson Will Love Him For It
15 May 2013 9:06 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Those must be some tasty snacks, I guess. Jon Favreau, last seen directing hits like “Iron Man 2″ and co-starring as Iron Man’s hapless flunky in “Iron Man 3″, will be getting back behind the camera (and in front of it) in “Chef”, a film that he will star in and direct. And because he’s calling the shots, Favreau has wisely cast Scarlett Johansson to play his love interest in the movie. Cause, damn, what’s the point of being a writer-actor-director if you can’t cast a hot babe and order her to fall madly in love with you in your movie? Exactamundo, kids. In “Chef”, Favreau will play “a man who loses his chef job and starts up a food truck to reclaim his artistic promise and estranged family at the same time.” Johansson, who co-starred in “Iron Man 2″ with Favreau, will play a character name Molly, »

Scarlett Johansson Joins Robert Downey Jr. in Jon Favreau’s Chef; John Wells’ Chef Fights for the Title
15 May 2013 8:14 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The Iron Man 2 gang is getting back together for what will hopefully be a better movie than Iron Man 2. Variety is reporting that Scarlett Johansson will reunite with Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau for Favreau's indie film, Chef. The story centers on a man (Favreau) who loses his chef job and starts up a food truck to reclaim his artistic promise and reclaiming his estranged family. As we previously reported, the film will have a strong supporting cast with Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, and Bobby Cannavale on board to co-star. I'm happy to see Favreau returning to his indie roots (although in this case "indie" simply means it doesn't have the gigantic budgets of his recent films), and heading back into a leading role. He's so money and he knows it. But the movie is in for a fight over the title as Sony Pictures, which owns »

'Iron Man 2' Déjà Vu: Scarlett Johansson Joins Rdj in 'Chef'
15 May 2013 8:09 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Can you say "'Iron Man 2" reunion"?
As much as we'd like to forget that particular sequel confection, all the essential ingredients of it were solid (except perhaps the gamey taste of Mickey Rourke), so it makes our mouth water to learn via The Hollywood Reporter that the delectable Scarlett Johansson will be assembling with Avenger Robert Downey Jr. for star/director Jon Favreau's "Chef."
The indie comedy, which is currently being sold at Cannes based on the aroma of its cast, will also feature Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo and Bobby Cannavale. The plot revolves around Favreau's chef Carl Casper who loses his restaurant gig and cooks up a food truck business in order to simultaneously reawaken the artist within and reconcile with his family.
Sounds like a lot on the menu, but for dessert you have Molly (Johansson), a "restaurant manager and love interest of Favreau’s character. »
