This weekend, Star Trek Into Darkness hits theaters and the common consensus among reviewers seems to be that Jj Abrams' adaptation of the beloved series is even better this time around. The thing we're most excited about, of course, is Zoe Saldana's return as a young Nyota Uhura. Apparently Saldana's role is much bigger this time around, which means the Star Trek sequel is a can't miss for us!
Of course, lesbian and bisexual women are not strangers to the world of science fiction. In fact, we often find better representation in the fantasy realm than in any other genre. And even when we don't find queer women to swoon over, we find powerful women to root for. »

The first trailer for Richard Curtis’ About Time debuted first thing this morning, and it gave us an absolutely brilliant first look at the upcoming romantic comedy, coming from arguably one of the greatest, and certainly most widely-seen, British filmmakers of all time.
Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams take the lead for Curtis this time around. And following on brilliantly from the first UK comes the first Us trailer via Yahoo Movies, along with the film’s first poster.
At the age of 21, Tim is told an incredible family secret by his father: all the men in his family have the ability to relive their past. He can revisit any moment in his life to try things differently until he gets them perfectly right.

Having directed two of the greatest British films of all time, and written many of the rest, Richard Curtis is making a very welcome return behind the camera this year with About Time.
Led by Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson, the film is another romantic comedy/drama from Curtis, with an added element of sci-fi. And that is definitely something to get excited about.
We’ve only seen a handful of things surface from the film so far. But with its September UK release very much on the horizon, this brilliant first trailer has finally arrived online.

Mark Romanek is an incredibly talented filmmaker from whom we have seen far too little. The director first gained notice for his work in the world of music videos, helming Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”, Michael and Janet Jackson’s “Scream”, and most notably Johnny Cash’s hauntingly beautiful “Hurt.” Then in 2002, Romanek directed his second feature, the psychological thriller One Hour Photo starring Robin Williams. The film was met with both critical and commercial success, and is now getting its long-deserved HD treatment with a Blu-ray transfer that was supervised by Romanek himself. I recently had the opportunity to speak with Romanek on the phone in anticipation of the Blu-ray release for One Hour Photo (available now), and during the course of our conversation, the Never Let Me Go filmmaker talked about what it was like to revisit one of his films so extensively a decade after its release, the Blu-ray’s extras, »

Carey Mulligan has spoken about her role in The Great Gatsby.
The actress - who plays Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel - revealed that she found the role "tricky", Total Film reports.
She said: "Daisy is kind of a tricky character, because she contradicts herself constantly, but she's also not very consistently laid out. She's eccentric, but seems to feel things passionately, but not necessarily for very long."
The 27-year-old has previously appeared in films such as Shame, Drive and Never Let Me Go, but said that The Great Gatsby was by far the biggest movie she has worked on to date.
"The scale of it is huge in comparison to all the films I've done," she admitted.
Mulligan also said that the party scenes in the film look so "wild" because of Luhrmann's directorial approach.
"The party scenes [Baz Luhrmann] directs through a megaphone. »

In recent years, the television landscape has become a haven for complex, character-driven material from some of the best creative minds in the business. No longer is TV considered the ugly stepchild of the film world, as everyone from Martin Scorsese to David Fincher is now dabbling in the art of longform storytelling with a great amount of creative freedom on networks like HBO, FX, and even Netflix. Now it appears that one more incredibly talented filmmaker is dipping his toe into the TV pool, as One Hour Photo and Never Let Me Go director Mark Romanek is developing a limited series at FX. Earlier today, I spoke with Romanek in anticipation of next week’s Blu-ray release of his excellent 2002 film One Hour Photo. During the course of our conversation, the director revealed that he has just sold a limited series idea to FX based on a true crime story. »

Does the world really need another "Cinderella," or "Annie," or "Oz" installment? After a competitive casting search, 24-year old English actress Lily James, who plays Lady Rose MacClare on "Downton Abbey," has landed the coveted role of Cinderella in Kenneth Branagh's live-action Disney revamp. Clearly, Jon Favreau's beefy security guard in "Iron Man 3" isn't the only one watching a lot of the period PBS series. James joins Cate Blanchett, who befittingly plays the wicked stepmother. Producers are Simon Kinberg, David Barron and Allison Shearmur. Branagh, whose pedigree boasts screen adaptations of Shakespeare such as "Hamlet" and "As You Like It" as well as 2011's "Thor," stepped in earlier this year after "Never Let Me Go" director Mark Romanek left the project. »

This weekend, the summer movie season unofficial kicks off with "Oblivion," a big-budgeted sci-fi extravaganza starring Tom Cruise as one of the last men on earth, a maintenance worker who is part of a two-person "clean-up crew" looking after the planet after a devastating intergalactic war. Of course, a series of increasingly weird situations leads Cruise's character to question everything he's been told. This includes his encounter with a group of freedom fighters led by Morgan Freeman's mysterious character, which serves as the beginning of a series of eye-opening revelations that could throw both himself and the planet into an existential tailspin. We've taken the time to run down the ten things you should probably know going into "Oblivion." 1. You Should Try to Know as Little as You Can One of the biggest pleasures of watching "Oblivion" is realizing how different a movie it is than the one marketed in the trailer. »

Carey Mulligan looks every bit the Roaring Twenties-era siren on the May cover of Vogue. The star of the upcoming flick The Great Gatsby graced the cover in a stunning lime-green Oscar de la Renta gown and lavish jewels. The Mario Testino-shot photos capture Mulligan, who plays Daisy Buchanan, in 1920s-esque flapper gowns and headpiece adornments that are dripping with diamonds. This isn't the first time the 27-year-old has landed the coveted cover. Mulligan was also featured on the October 2010 cover for her work in the films Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and Never Let Me Go. The actress opened up to the fashion publication about Gatsby's grueling schedule and being a newlywed. Despite »

The English actress looks stunning in her 1920’s themed attire on the May 2013 cover of ‘Vogue’! Carey will star as Daisy Buchanan in director Baz Luhrmann’s remake of ‘The Great Gatsby’. She certainly embodies her character in this ‘Great Gatsby’ themed cover shoot. Do You like her cover of ‘Vogue’?
Carey Mulligan, 27, looks fabulous on the newest cover of Vogue in a bright and beautiful Oscar de la Renta dress. She wore roaring twenties-inspired jewels, which were provided by Tiffany & Co., and put together by costume designer, Catherine Martin. While styled in the clothing of the character she is playing, the Pride & Prejudice star embodied the time period of author F. Scott Fitzgerald’s work. Film director, Baz Luhrmann, made sure to audition nearly every A-list actress in Hollywood, but Carey was the only one to make the cut.

Making your first feature film is no easy task. Everything from the script to casting requires careful attention to detail, and meanwhile, you're looking to prove to yourself and others that you have what it takes to get the job done. However, if your name is Alex Garland, things are made slightly easier. The screenwriter behind "28 Days Later...," "Never Let Me Go" and "Dredd" has a CV that speaks for itself, and it's no surprise that he's getting some nice talent for his debut directorial effort "Ex Machina." The Wrap reports that Oscar Isaac ("Drive," "Inside Llewyn Davis") and Domhnall Gleeson ("Anna Karenina," "About Time") are gearing up to board the movie. Penned by Garland as well, the $15 million "Ex Machina" will tell the story of a billionaire programmer (Isaac) who picks a young employee (Domhnall) to help him test out an AI-driven, female robot on his estate. Intriguingly, the »

So, what do you get when you mix Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, David Strathairn, Ken Watanabe and Juliette Binoche? Nope, not a Euro-flavored film about the intersecting lives of a multi-culti group of beautiful looking people living in, oh I dunno, Paris. Instead it's the cast of "Godzilla." And the ensemble has just gotten even more puzzling. Brit actress Sally Hawkins -- who put the happy-go-lucky in "Happy-Go-Lucky" and "Made In Dagenham," and featured in fare such as "Never Let Me Go," "Jane Eyre," "Submarine" and more -- has come aboard the picture. And that's all we can tell. The Gareth Edwards-directed picture is now shooting, but there are no details (though we bet it involves a monster and stuff getting exploded), so no idea what her role is at this point. But our guess is that the disaster in the movie maybe is globe-spanning in nature, »

Just in case you missed it, Ryan Gosling announced last week that he intends to take a break from acting. In his own words, “I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does.”Some of his audience seem to disagree, with a Ryan Gosling hotline set up, providing various recordings from his movies to help ease fans through this difficult time. Gosling has two more movies scheduled for release this year, Only God Forgives, and an as yet untitled Terrence Malick project. He is currently focusing on his directorial debut, How To Catch A Monster, at this stage set to come out in 2014. After that, it’s uncertain when he’ll grace our screens again.
Replacing Ryan Gosling won’t be easy. Few actors have found the balance between indie darling and full blown Hollywood heart-throb that he has been able to achieve. He’s been in good movies, »

Sequels are awesome, plain and simple. Returning to familiar characters and worlds we love is like covering yourself with a warm blanket, although when a sequel is bad it can be like a blanket covered in potato bugs and lice. Studios love sequels because seven times out of ten they open huge, no matter how good they are.
With that in mind, here's 50 of your favorite titles all preparing to get new installments. Some of them are deep into pre-production while others have barely gotten out of the pitch stages, but you'll be salivating at the thought of some of these sweet babies finally making their way to the screen.

There is no doubt that Alex Garland is a great writer, penning the scripts for 28 Days Later, Never Let Me Go and writing the novel The Beach, but how will cut it as a director?
It looks like we will be finding out soon, as it has been announced that he’s set to direct Ex MacHina. DNA Films, who have collaborated with Garland on pretty much every project he has been in, are set to produce the project alongside Scott Rudin and Eli Bush.
Garland also wrote the film that tells the story of a billionaire programmer who picks a young employee to spend a week at his estate and ends up participating in a test involving his latest invention: an artificially intelligent female robot. With the producers of the film hoping for a $15 million budget, he’s definitely chose a good ‘un to make his debut.

"I've got an idea for a very low budget going back to, not micro-budget, but a Never Let Me Go level budget, sci-fi movie that's a hard film. It's going to be a difficult film. I sort of alternate between these adrenaline-ized movies and these reflective movies. So Never Let Me Go, Sunshine, reflective; then psycho with Dredd, 28 Days, as it were. And this is more in the Sunshine mode than the Never Let Me Go mode. It's that kind of movie." That's what screenwriter, producer, and all-around badass Alex Garland (when it comes to making sci-fi movies, at least) told us at Fantastic Fest when we asked about his next film. At the time he didn't have a name for it, but now we know it's called...

Alex Garland, screenwriter of 28 Days Later, Dredd and Never Let Me Go will be stepping into the directors chair for the first time for a sci-fi film based on his own script called Ex-Machina. The intriguing plot "centers on a billionaire programmer who handpicks a young employee to spend a week at his remote estate and participate in a test involving his latest invention: an artificially intelligent female robot." Apparently the film is scheduled to shoot in Summer of Fall, so hopefully it will be completed before artificially intelligent female robots are actually invented.On that front though, it looks like Garland probably has some time. The latest major news in artificial intelligence came with Obama's annoucement that he's planning a decade-long scientific study to...

Alex Garland, the screenwriter behind films such as 28 Days Later, Sunshine, Never Let Me Go, and Dredd, is set to direct his first feature film from a script he wrote. It's an original sci-fi robot thriller called Ex Machina.
The story centers on "a billionaire programmer who handpicks a young employee to spend a week at his remote estate and participate in a test involving his latest invention -- an artificially intelligent female robot."
This sounds like it could be a solidly good movie. Garland is a great screenwriter, so I'm sure it'll be a good story. It will be interesting to see if he's got some directing chops as well. He's planning to start shooting the movie this summer or fall with a $15 million budget.
