New 3-D Star Wars Trilogy on the Horizon?
22 October 2009 8:18 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
File this one in the "We'll Believe It When We See It" category, but MarketSaw is saying an "absolutely connected," "trusted source" has let slip that, in addition to re-releasing the entire 6-part Star Wars trilogy in 3-D, George Lucas is planning on creating a new trilogy of Star Wars movies, filmed entirely in 3-D.
The article goes on to claim that Lucas is only interested in producing the trilogy, not directing, and that he may tap his friend Steven Spielberg, or perhaps Francis Ford Coppola, to helm one or all of the films.
Again, we'll believe it when we see it.

Nsfw Re-Edit of 'Star Wars' Mos Eisley Scene
20 October 2009 9:25 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
The folks over at Sci Fi Wire have unearthed a funny bit of YouTube goodness —a re-edit of a scene from the original Star Wars.
The sequence features the voice of British actor Peter Serafinowicz redubbing Alec Guinness' dialogue in a much more, ahem...shall we say, John McClane sort of way.
For those who may not know, Serafinowicz is known for voicing Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, playing Pete in Shaun of the Dead, and most recently appearing as Sctanley in Couples Retreat.
Be advised this is definitely Nsfw. Turn the speakers down so that the R-Rated dialogue doesn't make you the subject of tomorrow's informal water-cooler "talk" about work place ethics.
That aside, enjoy...

[DVD Review] The Objective
17 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Poor Daniel Myrick. After all but setting the world on fire a decade ago with The Blair Witch Project (co-directed with Eduardo Sanchez), a film that managed to grab headlines in the summer of The Matrix, Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, and The Sixth Sense, he returns now with The Objective, a film that is split by two opposing instincts: recapturing the glory of his initial success and expanding his vision to a scope that would suggest he’s ready to move on to a studio feature. Neither instinct is satisfied by either the film’s plotline or its execution, leaving us to wonder what movie he really wanted to make.
In the weeks following 9/11, the United States government picks up a strong heat signal emanating from the remote mountains of Afghanistan. The first suggestion, of course, is that the Taliban has gotten hold of a nuclear weapon, »

Culture Warrior: Found Footage Filmmaking
12 October 2009 12:25 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
If there is ever a sleeper hit in 2009, Paranormal Activity is it. Accompanied with a lackluster visual marketing campaign (lame poster, lamer trailer), the years-long shelved film is now encountering success by an intense and calculated word-of-mouth, demanding a wider release through online petitions and an exponentially increasing per-theater average to an astonishing total this weekend in the #5 spot with $7 million in only 160 theaters. The film works with its rather simple, straightforward idea of amping up the creepiness slowly and with as minimal revealing material possible (rarely these days do horror films get so much out of so little). The device this movie uses to achieve its creepiness is also simple and is becoming an increasingly familiar way to make horror films, framing the film as an archive of home-video footage made by the victims themselves. This approach to horror arguably started with The Blair Witch Project and has been since reawakened with more recent films like »

Star Wars: In Concert Begins!

I don't know about you, but I think John Williams is a god and he makes memorable music to fit any film he's working on. And the music he created for "Star Wars" was one of the excellent examples of the composer's brilliance.
Now, in a performance installation piece of some sorts, "Star Wars" fans are in for a treat! You'll see and hear the sights and sounds of the Luke Skywalker-Darth Vader soap opera -- amplified music and instrumentation, lasers, flames, smokes, and a giant high-definition Led screen will show clips from all Six movies, yes, even the not so good ones :happy
The nearly two-hour show will present the George Lucas creation in a rough chronological order but will also be grouped in different musical themes -- romance, drama, evil!
The elaborate production requires 12 semi truck to transport the show from one city to the next. After a »

Reed’s Bargain Bin: Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
28 September 2009 7:39 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Reed’s Bargain Bin [1] is a recurring column where Reed Farrington tells us about a movie he bought for under $5, and whether or not he regrets the purchase. “Blowed ‘em up good, blowed ‘em up real good!” If Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok from Sctv’s Farm Film Report had been on Rotten Tomatoes’ (Rt) staff, then there’s no way that Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (Bevs) would ever be in the list of Rt’s worst movies of the past decade [2]. So, in the opinion of Reed Farrington, does this movie deserve to be at the top of that list? Well, that “worst of” list was the impetus I needed to finish watching this film that had been sitting in my stockpile for the past three years. I hadn’t realized that I had watched all of it up to the last ten minutes. Perhaps this is »

Best Movie Title Punctuation Marks: Go!
24 September 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Today is National Punctuation Day, the most important non-religious nerd holiday that doesn't involve talking like a pirate. Just think how different our lives would be without the comma, not to mention the semi-colon; we'd be lost without the period. Or the exclamation point! What about the question mark? (Seriously, we'd be screwed: see here.) To celebrate, we've assembled a list of our favorite punctuation marks in movie titles. Call them the Punctuaties (pronounced "Punk-shoe-Ay-shees" [on second thought, don't call them anything]).

Star Wars: Death Troopers (Book Review)
6 September 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Star Wars: Death Troopers (Del Rey, hc, $24, out October 13) is the first-ever Star Wars horror story. Oh, wait. I forgot about The Phantom Menace. Ba-Da-Bum! But seriously folks, Joe Schreiber’s novel really is the first Star Wars horror novel, and it can be summed up pretty easily: Zombie Star Wars.
The Imperial Prison Barge Purge is transporting prisoners when thruster damage causes it to break down in a remote, uninhabited region of space. They locate an Imperial Star Destroyer that has apparently been abandoned, and a crew is sent aboard to hopefully find the necessary replacement parts. Only some of the team returns to the Purge, though, and those who do return are extremely sick and suffering from a variety of different symptoms: violent expectoration, respiratory difficulties, fever, seizures, hallucinations, hemorrhaging, coma, etc. The disease rapidly spreads throughout the craft, forcing the compassionate Chief Medical Officer Zahara Cody to order a quarantine. »

Iron Fist & Luke Cage in ‘Heroes for Hire’ Movie?
17 August 2009 7:51 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Ray Park is one of those guys who’s just awesome. You’d think a man hits his peak of awesomeness playing Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, arguably becoming the best part of the prequel trilogy, but Ray proved that there’s no upper limit on that scale.
Since then, the lifelong martial artist has played Toad in the first X-Men film and more recently can be seen (kind of) playing Snake Eyes in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. As Snakes Eyes, he didn’t even have to speak, let alone show his face, to be the star of the film, and many want a sequel just to see more of his action sequences.
But there’s another character he should have played but never got a chance to. That character is of course, Iron Fist and he still might get his chance… »

Filmmaker Tim Sullivan has just wrapped production on the sequel to 2001 Maniacs, titled 2001 Maniacs: Beverly Hellbilly's. Word first came from the film's recently launched Facebook page. (Check it Here!) Now, we've got the official press release below clarifying the cast for the new flick. Check it below:
Maniacs Move To “Beverly” - “Devil’s Rejects” Star Steps Into Mayor’s Shoes in Franchise Reboot
"For Immediate Release: August 13th, 2009- Cult film veteran Bill Moseley (“House of 1,000 Corpses“) has just completed filming his role as Mayor Buckman in director Tim Sullivan’s latest installment of the horror/comedy franchise “2001 Maniacs”. The film, titled “2001 Maniacs:Beverly Hellbillys”, was shot entirely on location in Iowa.
According to Sullivan and producer Christopher Tuffin, it is as much a wild re-imagining of the preceding films as a sequel to them. Their intention was to raise the stakes beyond the ordinary glut of by-the-numbers horror releases to create a smart, »
eBay find: Snake Eyes prop replica Katana sword from G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
7 August 2009 4:53 AM, PDT | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
We know that Duke (Channing Tatum) is the lead soldier in the G.I. Joe gang, now bursting into cinemas in action extravaganza G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and that Hawk (Dennis Quaid) is the team leader, but here at Boxwish we’re nursing a very big soft spot for Snake Eyes. The mysterious Ninja, kitted in head to toe black is played in the movie by famed stunt-man Ray Park (Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, X-Men) and we’re stocking up on the many assorted Snake Eyes-inspired merchandise. There’s a bobble head, a Mighty Muggs and even a role play kit, but for hardcore fans we’ve spotted something a little more special – a prop replica of his Katana sword.
Not for real swordplay, this incredibly detailed prop replica comes with an individualised stand for smart display purposes. The seller elaborates on its many impressive details, »
From 'G.I. Joe' To Superhero: Five 'Rise Of Cobra' Actors With Comic Book Connections
6 August 2009 3:02 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
The existence of "G.I. Joe" comic books aside, many of the stars of this weekend's upcoming "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" have a good amount in common with the paneled page. From the mighty shield of Captain America to a Robin that never was, the following five actors have interesting ties — some stronger than others — to the comic book medium.
Ray Park: It's hard to forget Ray Park's menacing turn as Darth Maul, the dual-lightsaber twirling villain of "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace," but the man behind the mask of Snake Eyes has some curious ties to the comic book kingdom. Not only was he long-rumored for the role of Danny Rand in an "Iron Fist" adaptation, Park actually played Toad in the very first live-action "X-Men" film.
That's not even mentioning the actor's upcoming role in "Heroes." Park will play a fast-moving, »

Liam Neeson & Christina Ricci Discover What Is “After.Life”
6 August 2009 6:57 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Way back last year we brought you news that Liam Neeson and Christina Ricci would be starring in the horror film After.Life (I said it before and I’ll say it again - the “.” is supposed to be there).
The film stars Liam Neeson as a funeral director who is contacted by a woman (Christina Ricci) who is caught between life and death. Alfred Molina and Justin Long co-star in the Agnieszka Vosloo directed chiller.
Bloody Disgusting has nabbed a whole slew of interesting images from After.Life - you can check out a few below:
.
"When I told my agent that I wanted another brain-dead film like Taken I didn't mean this."
"If you help me out of here it'll be a Schindler's lift."

"Don't worry, people will soon forget Speed Racer. I survived The Phantom Menace."

'G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra' Cuts Like A Katana In Today's eBay Prop-Watch
3 August 2009 2:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
I attended the "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" press junket in New York City over the weekend. One of the compelling bits of trivia to emerge from the actors I interviewed -- Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans, Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols -- is that Snake Eyes actor Ray Park ("Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace") was the biggest "Joe" nerd on the set. Not that he shared much knowledge since, being a character actor, he never broke his fictional ninja's vow of silence.
Still, the knowledge that Park is an über-fan ought to make today's eBay Prop-Watch pick all the more cool. It's not an actual prop, but it's a pretty badass item on its own. Park's participation only improves it. Worth the $500 asking price? Not for my cash-starved wallet. But the right "G.I. Joe" super-fan will flip out over this item, especially after seeing Park's »

Boiling Point: We’re All Nerds

So Comic-Con has been over for about a week and I've had some time to reflect on the whole situation and go over the coverage other sites did. In doing so, I came across a few examples I won't name of writers taking aim at the Con goers and declaring them nerds or some sort of bad kind of fanboy or this or that. Tons of people, from journalists to other Con-goers took aim at the Twilight fans and ridiculed them and their dedication. Kettle, meet the pots. We're all nerds here. Sure, we're all different kinds of nerds and different kinds of people, but we're all nerds. The Twilight fans are no different than the Iron Man fans who are no different than the Mike Judge fans. Going to someplace like the San Diego Comic Con and pointing the nerd finger at someone is like an crack addict telling a coke user he's got a substance »

Anakin Skywalker’s Thoughts on The Phantom Menace — 10 Years Later
28 July 2009 12:05 PM, PDT | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »
Remember Jake Lloyd? He played the young Anakin Skywalker aka Dark Vader in “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace”. Well, that was 10 years ago, and Jake is now older. Sci Fi Pi, the Australian version of the Sci Fi Channel’s Sci Fi Wire, got a hold of Jake and asked him about his thoughts on “The Phantom Menace”, among other topics. Very cool interview. »

Sr Pick [Video]: Little Anakin Skywalker, 10 Years Later…
25 July 2009 6:26 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
While surfing the always-growing expanse of the Interweb during Comic-Con weekend, we stumbled upon this video of (now 20-years-old) Jake Lloyd who played “Anny” Skywalker from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
It seems that Hollywood has created yet another child actor that in general, has benefited from being a “child actor” but still clearly has issues. Check out what I mean:
.
Even though we’ve seen the conclusion of the Star Wars series, many still criticize George Lucas’ handling of the prequels. Is it fair for people to heap on Any of the responsibility of the “failure” of Episode I onto Jake Lloyd’s shoulders? Isn’t it Lucas who should be shouldering the blame, not some poor kid he picked out of the blue to play one of the most poorly-written roles in Star Wars history?
Let’s Discuss in the comments.
