Weekend Box-Office Results: 'Star Trek’s' Warp Core Has Malfunctioned, Fails To Bring In More Than Predecessor
4 hours ago | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Star Trek Into Darkness was this week’s biggest film and the sequel to a franchise reboot produced by J.J. Abrams. The guy has his hand all over television with Fringe, Revolution, Alias, and plenty others and has made a solid career as a director with Mission: Impossible III and Super 8. I don’t want to say that he’s struggling with bringing people to see Star Trek but it does feel that way. While the film did place first with $70.5 million this weekend, I can’t help but feel Star Trek in this generation doesn’t really appeal to a mass audience.

Box office update: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' flies into first place
18 May 2013 12:02 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness beamed into first place Friday, pushing Tony Stark and his Iron Man suit into the No. 2 spot. The highly-anticipated sci-fi sequel, which opened wide on Wednesday, made an estimated $22.0 million on Friday in 3,868 locations, including 336 IMAX 3D locations, bringing its domestic total to $35.5 million. This was somewhat shy of expectations: The first Star Trek of the Abrams era opened in May 2009 to a $26.98 million Friday in 3,849 theaters.
As a director, J.J. Abrams has a limited history at the box office. His only other efforts are 2011′s relatively low-budget ($50 million) Super 8, and 2006′s Mission: Impossible III. »

Cannes Film Review: ‘For Those in Peril’
18 May 2013 4:03 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Survivor’s guilt seeps through every pore of “For Those in Peril,” the visually arresting debut feature of Scotland’s Paul Wright (who previously directed the 2011 BAFTA-winning short “Until the River Runs Red”). Filmed wholly on location in coastal Aberdeenshire, this mythic fable, which began under the less inspired title “Seaside Stories,” spins a poetic reverie that should strike a chord with adventurous audiences who don’t mind mood over matter. The titular peril, however, also applies to any distribution partner coveting earthly rewards: Following its Cannes Critics’ Week berth, this mournful tale will need careful nurturing to succeed even as a niche item.
Flashbacks hint that Aaron (George MacKay) was already something of a misfit in his remote northern Scottish community. Now that he is the sole survivor of a fishing boat accident that claimed the lives of five men, including his own brother Michael (Jordan Young), his sense of isolation has only grown. »

Michael Giacchino talks Scoring the Sequel in New Music Featurette for Star Trek Into Darkness
17 May 2013 1:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Having arrived in UK theatres last weekend, J.J. Abrams’ anticipated blockbuster sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness, has now officially been released into the Us multiplex, and is reportedly on track for a nine-figure four-day opening across the Atlantic.
The early reviews and the reception from our audiences have been very positive – you can read our review here – and we’re looking forward to seeing how it fares at the box office in the States this weekend.
Adding to all the brilliant things we’ve seen from the film already, Paramount have released a new music featurette in which composer Michael Giacchino talks a little about scoring Abrams’ blockbuster.
When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.
With a personal score to settle, »

When Can I Watch 'Star Trek Into Darkness' with My Kids?
16 May 2013 7:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Much like his 2009 reboot, J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness is the popcorniest popcorn blockbuster that modern Hollywood is able to pop. The Super 8 and Mission: Impossible III director has cracked the code for well-calibrated summer-movie thrills… which means that Into Darkness has peaks and valleys like an amusement park roller-coaster ride. It’s fast. It’s fun. It’s frivolous. It’s essentially everything you want your summer blockbusters to be. But will your children dig it? Let’s beam ourselves up, violate the Prime Directive, assume the captain’s chair of the Starship Enterprise and figure out when you can watch Star Trek Into Darkness with your kids. Green...

Does Hollywood really hate spoilers?

Feature Simon Brew 16 May 2013 - 07:02
Does the Hollywood system want spoilers to be protected, or have they become part of the marketing fabric?
Please note: there are no spoilers in this article. Please do not leave any in the comments below!
Early in the production of Star Trek Into Darkness, a series of stills were leaked of a fight involving Benedict Cumberbatch's John Harrison. Believe the stories, and those behind the scenes - not least Jj Abrams - were extremely unhappy about the leak. Abrams is, after all, someone who works hard to protect surprises. Just look at the sudden trailer reveal for Super 8 a few years back, or the whole Cloverfield build up. He's one of the few directors who usually has the power to reveal what he wants only when he's ready to reveal it.
Most of Star Trek Into Darkness was shot on sound stages, »

Michael Giacchino to Compose 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Score
14 May 2013 4:21 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
We just got our first official look from the set of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the sequel to the 2011 hit Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The first photo from the prequel sequel feature Andy Serkis in his motion capture gear atop a horse, confronting Jason Clarke in the woods. It wasn't much to get excited about, but the sequel is still one of our most anticipated films of 2014, and now it's gotten even better. The Incredibles, Star Trek and Super 8 composer Michael Giacchino will be providing the score for Matt Reeves' film, after previously working with the director on his vampire drama Let Me In. That's some great damn news. Giacchino confirmed his involvement on Twitter, and we can't wait to hear his score, especially knowing what he's done for blockbusters from J.J. Abrams, Brad Bird and more. In the film, a growing »

From 'Star Trek' To 'Star Wars'
13 May 2013 12:19 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
London — J.J. Abrams is master of one universe – and he's about to try conquering another.
The director who rebooted "Star Trek" for a new generation, sending the USS Enterprise out again to explore strange new worlds, has also been put at the "Star Wars" helm. Soon he'll direct a new film, the seventh, in the epic sci-fi franchise.
So while Abrams is in London to talk about his second "Trek" feature, "Star Trek Into Darkness" – releasing in U.S. theaters on May 17 – the topic inevitably drifts to a galaxy far, far away.
"I feel preposterously lucky," said Abrams, a self-declared "Star Wars" fanboy.
"I do feel at the core this incredible disbelief that I'm actually even answering questions at all about my involvement in something that until fairly recently I didn't even know was going to come back as a series. And now I get to be involved in it. »

Directors' Trademarks: J.J. Abrams
13 May 2013 10:24 AM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
Most directors have an identifiable style consistent with their approach and perspective. Each week Cinelinx will chose one director for an in-depth examination of the “signatures” that they leave behind in their work. This week, we examine the trademark style and calling signs of J.J. Abrams.
J.J. Abrams has only directed 4 films, and one of those films is set for release this week. Therefore, with such a limited portfolio to work with, some of these trademarks may just be coincidence. Still, when understanding Abrams’ past and his passions, these make sense. Abrams began his career as writer and producer. He produced a few films with big-name stars in the 90’s but never really found commercial success there. He collaborated with Michael Bay on Armageddon before deciding to try his luck at television. In television, Abrams found his stride. He has been involved in the television series Felicity, Alias, and Lost. »

Benedict Cumberbatch On His Secret 'Star Trek' Character
13 May 2013 5:17 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Ah, yes, the trials and tribulations of interviewing an actor about the role he's playing when that actor can't really talk about said role. Or, as Benedict Cumberbatch jokes about his notoriously secretive "Star Trek Into Darkness" director, J.J. Abrams, "He's right here now with a gun pointed to my head." (At least I think he's kidding.)
As you probably know by now, the identity of Cumberbatch's "Star Trek Into Darkness" character -- a character that causes much havoc for the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, while his motivations remain unclear -- has been purposely shrouded in mystery. You probably also know that rumors persist that Cumberbatch is reprising a quite popular villain from a prior "Star Trek" film. (And if you don't know already, a quick check of IMDb will fill you in.)

• If Jon Favreau’s Chef was ever in danger of receiving adequate financing, he can probably breathe easy now. Robert Downey Jr. has signed on to join the independent comedy. Downey Jr. and Favreau have worked together for years on the Iron Man franchise. Favreau plays the role of Happy Hogan, and also directed the first two films. In Chef, which Favreau wrote — and will direct and star in — a recently fired chef tries to regain control of his craft by opening a food truck. Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara is also set to star.

Review: ‘Stories We Tell’ Is A Beautifully Fashioned Pastiche On Memory and Truth
10 May 2013 3:30 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Memories have a way of perverting the truth. Over time, we idealize past events to better suit our present and recount them to so many others that the memories become altered, like in a game of telephone. Each person can interpret the same event differently, thus begging the question: what is the real truth? Sarah Polley makes a thoughtful examination of memory and interpretation in her film Stories We Tell, a masterfully constructed documentary through which she looks for answers to an important part of her own life: her true parentage. Polley weaves together interviews with her family members, as well as intimidate narrations and Super 8 footage in attempt to piece together the intricate “whole story” of the past. Though that past that is admittedly shaped by it’s director and therefore not as objective as it may seem. Polley is the daughter of famed Canadian stage actors Diane and Michael Polley. Her »

'Once Upon a Time': Michael Raymond-James talks this week's finale and Baelfire's fate

Of all the characters introduced or highlighted for the first time during Once Upon a Time’s second season — including Captain Hook, Mulan, Princess Aurora, Lancelot, and even Dr. Victor Frankenstein — none is as pivotal to the show’s master plot as Neal Cassady, a.k.a. Rumpelstiltskin’s prodigal son Baelfire. Rumpel engineered the dark curse that created the town of Storybrooke purely so that he could find his long-lost child, meaning that Once itself wouldn’t exist if not for Bae. He spent a significant amount of time in Never Land, giving Once’s writers an opportunity to »

Sundance London 2013 – The Kings of Summer Review
10 May 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Joe Toy (Nick Robinson) is fed up with his life at home. His older sister is moving away and he can’t bear the thought of spending the whole summer at home alone with his father (Nick Offerman), who we first meet mercilessly chastising Joe for masturbating in the shower. Ever since his mother died his dad hasn’t been the same – to the extent that Joe regularly calls the police to report him as a missing person. Their comic interplay is fantastic, but the characters are clearly having a lot less fun around each other then the audience are watching them – so Joe decides to run away.
His best friend Patrick (Super 8’s Gabriel Basso) has the opposite problem with his parents. They’re too nice, too overbearing. It doesn’t take much for Joe to convince Patrick to join him on his summer escapade, while another strange »

Star Trek's Jj Abrams: 'I've come to love it by working on it'
10 May 2013 12:46 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The director took some flak after his first Trek film by admitting he wasn't a fan of the TV series. Now, back with another one, does he regret what he said? And what plans does he have for his first Star Wars movie?
When Jj Abrams was handed the task of revitalising the Star Trek franchise in 2006, the portents were not good. His first directing job, Mission: Impossible III, had not been finished, he had a string of script commissions behind him of variable quality – including Michael Bay's infamous asteroid-masher Armageddon. He had small-screen chops for sure, earned via successful series Alias and Lost, but many a TV guy has stumbled when attempting to deliver proper cinema. Now, seven years later, Abrams is king of the Hollywood heap: sitting on billions of dollars in box office, a second Star Trek film poised for release, and a deal up his »
