Sony didn’t need to have Spidey-Sense to know the danger involved with digging themselves into an even bigger hole by continually floundering with their cinematic entries in the Spider-Man franchise and wisely struck a deal with Marvel for him to join the ever successful and popular MCU. A million fan-boys and fan-girls cried in joyousness shortly afterwards. Continue reading “Spider-Man Joins the MCU”

3D Absolutes

Star Wars Celebration Anaheim attendees this year will have a lot to look forward to in terms of The Force Awakens content (or so I speculate) but we can’t forget about the rest of the saga. Already news about events coming to April’s big show are dropping, including 3D screenings of the prequel trilogy (first spotted by Yakface) and the premiere of Star Wars Rebels’ second season!

Trading Cards Announce The Force Awakens Character Names

The Force Awakens

Hot on the heels of the first trailer, both J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy have teamed up with EW.com to reveal (most) of the names for the characters seen in the trailer with retro trading cards! If that wasn’t original enough for you, it seems how they are numbered is extremely important. Below lies a look at who Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Issacs play, plus some speculation thanks to some fans matching up the trading cards.

Things are about to get all Back to the Future 2 style time travel crazy in the Terminator-verse, as Genisys looks to be shaking things up quite a bit. But as the old adage goes, “No matter how much things change, they happen to stay the same,” so keep your eyes and ears out for classic reruns of lines from the earlier films and another liquid metal T-1000 to mess up life for the Connor clan. Also, it seems Arnold has never been joking about being back. Continue reading “Terminator: Genisys Trailer Is Back…I Mean Here”

Bond 24 Receives Title: SPECTRE, Cast Announced

Spectre

As the ending of Skyfall foretold, James Bond would be modernizing its roots by returning to the Universal Exports office with a Moneypenny on tap and a grumpy M. It’s not that surprising then that the next Bond film, scheduled for November 6, 2015 would bring back an old nemesis: Spectre, now the title of the next flick. Continue reading “Bond 24 Receives Title: SPECTRE, Cast Announced”

Jurassic World Trailer Brings Viewers Back to Isla Nublar

It’s been over two decades since we first visited an island full of dinosaurs born from a billionaires’ mad dreams. Subsequent movies have tried, but failed to ever really capture that magic again. Could Jurassic World be the follow-up we’ve always wanted? Continue reading “Jurassic World Trailer Brings Viewers Back to Isla Nublar”

Star Wars VII Receives Official Title: The Force Awakens

The Force Awakens

It’s official, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the title of the upcoming film and yes, Episode VII is not part of its title. As Justin Bolger says so astutely, this could likely mean there’s a lot more Star Wars coming (beyond what’s already been announced) à la Marvel or it was just simply an artistic choice or a way to make it feel easier for new fans to jump into. The official site also confirms certain returning characters, in case you weren’t sure from the casting announcement a few months ago. And with the title behind us now, a (rumored) trailer can’t be that far behind, can it? Or, as satisfying and exciting as this reveal was, are we (me) Star Wars fans just never satiated? Probably. Maybe. Most likely. Either way, prepared to be awoken (sorry) December 18, 2015.
