Jj Abrams must steer Star Wars clear of plot holes

3 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

The Lost creator and director of the irritatingly gappy Star Trek films knows a thing or two about scriptural fudges. Let's pray he doesn't put another universe at risk with his breakneck pacing

Spoiler warning: read if you've seen Star Trek: Into Darkness

When Jj Abrams was announced earlier this year as the surprise director of the new Star Wars film following Disney's $4bn buyout of George Lucas's gently disintegrating space opera empire in October, there were few dissenting voices to be heard. Here was a director who had taken rival sci-fi film series Star Trek and reinvigorated the whole affair with some much-needed razzmatazz, in the process transforming a saga that had been a niche concern for decades into a must-see proposition for anyone remotely interested in big-budget spectacle-heavy film-making. This was after turning round the Mission: Impossible series following John Woo's dumb second instalment with »

Cinemax Recruits Prometheus Actor To Soldier On In Quarry Pilot

23 May 2013 9:09 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

Cinemax just recruited a Marine sniper. Okay, so Prometheus actor Logan Marshall-Green isn’t really a soldier, but he’ll play one on TV. The network chose him to star in their new drama pilot titled Quarry.

The pilot is based upon a Max Allan Collins’ book, which follows a Marine sniper who returns home from Vietnam in 1973 to become disillusioned by the America he finds. It isn’t the one he left behind and it isn’t kind to him. “Combat-hardened and disillusioned, he’s recruited into a network of contract killers and corruption spanning the length of the Mississippi River,” reported THR. I told you it was a drama, and what a drama, but I see exciting thriller elements here as well.

If you are thinking that the title is weird, don’t. A quarry holds rocks and any member of the military can tell you there are »

"When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no »

Damon Lindelof Talks Tomorrowland; Story Steeped in Disney History but “None of the Movie Takes Place in a Disneyland Park”

20 May 2013 8:17 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Damon Lindelof is on the interview circuit, mostly explaining what he did with Star Trek Into DarknessLost ended in 2006, and Lindelof is waiting to hear if HBO will pick up his Rapture series The Leftovers, which would throw him back into the grind of producing a television show.  In the transition years, Lindelof has tackled a variety of sci-fi tentpoles: Star Trek, Cowboys & Aliens, Prometheus.  The next is Tomorrowland, an intriguing project at Disney that Brad Bird (Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol) will direct.  George Clooney, Hugh Laurie, and Raffey Cassidy are on board to star. Rumored plot details leaked in March.  Lindelof didn't elaborate much on what was out there other than to say some of the public information is "completely and totally erroneous."  But he did discuss the inspiration behind the project, how he wants to give Tomorrowland a story (the Pirates of the Caribbean treatment), and his fascination with Disney history. »

Damon Lindelof Reveals the Origins of ‘Tomorrowland’ and the ’1952′ Box

20 May 2013 5:10 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Disney’s Tomorrowland is among the more intriguing sci-fi movies due to arrive next year, and not only because it unites filmmaker Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) alongside Damon Lindelof (Prometheus) and Entertainment Weekly contributor Jeff Jensen as the screenwriters. If the rumored story details are correct, then the final film should be an imaginative change of pace from this year’s crop of dystopian and/or post-apocalyptic sci-fi blockbusters (Oblivion, After Earth, Elysium, etc.).

The eponymous Tomorowland is described as being a wondrous and technologically advanced realm that exists in another dimension. Bird’s film is rumored to revolve around a middle-aged man (George Clooney) who – to save the Earth – must set out and return to that fantasy land, after he was kicked out as a ...

Prometheus 2 Develops Casting Rumors, But No Confirmed Plot

20 May 2013 8:52 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Loved it or hated it, the fact remains that Ridley Scott’s Prometheus was a major film that set up the distinct possibility – probability, really – of at least one more sequel to tie up the many many loose ends. It has developed into a difficult slog to get Prometheus 2 off the ground, though, what with screenwriter Damon Lindelof leaving the whole script up in the air, and director Ridley Scott taking on other projects. But for those of you who desperately want to know what happens to Elizabeth Shaw and Michael Fassbender’s head-in-a-bag, good news! Ridley Scott has been chatting up a young actor about a supporting role in Prometheus 2.

That actor is young Rik Barnett, a 24 year old with only a few credits to his name. He recently won an award at the 2010 Ibiza International Film Festival for his work in Rebels Without A Clue, a »
