| The Last Sci-Fi Blog: Revisiting 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' at the End of Its Run Posted: 25 Feb 2016 09:30 PM PST Star Wars: The Force Awakens is at the end of its box office run. As its monetary intake slows to a trickle, J.J. Abrams' long-awaited sequel to the most popular movie trilogy of all time is the highest grossing film in the history of the domestic box office and number three on the international charts.

| Geek Buzz: 'Iron Fist,' 'Batman v Superman,' 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2' and More Posted: 25 Feb 2016 08:00 PM PST There's a lot of geekcentric news coming through the pipeline today. Here's a breakdown of all the latest: Iron Fist's Golden Boy Marvel has cast another of its major superhero characters for its cinematic universe -- on the small screen level. Iron Fist, a martial arts expert who will be getting his own series on Netflix, will be played by Game of Thrones actor Finn Jones. This will be the fourth MCU series for the streaming outlet, following Daredevil (the second season of which starts next month), Jessica Jones (which is getting a second season in 2017) and Luke Cage, which debuts later this year. All four of their lead characters will eventually unite for a crossover show, The Defenders. [Entertainment Weekly] Guardians of the...

| Moviegoers Want 'The Revenant' to Win Best Picture at the Oscars Posted: 25 Feb 2016 06:30 PM PST The sign of a true Best Picture winner should be one that moviegoers fully support... right? Sure, general moviegoers don't get to vote on the Oscars, but when their opinions match that of Academy voters, then we're all good -- we've found the film most deserving of Hollywood's highest honor. And according to a Fandango survey of more than 1,000 moviegoers, that movie this year is The Revenant, which also happens to be the current frontrunner for Best Picture. The Leo DiCaprio-lead survival movie enjoyed a late surge this awards season, pushing past other favorites like Spotlight and The Big Short at the box office and within the court of public opinion. That doesn't guarantee it the Oscar, but let's just say it's lookin' good. Other moviegoer... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| The Schwartz Awakens? Mysterious 'Spaceballs 2' Posters Pop Up in New York City Posted: 25 Feb 2016 04:30 PM PST It's one of the greatest spoofs ever made, and with Star Wars enjoying a monster resurgence across all facets of popular culture, now is the time for Mel Brooks to put forth the Spaceballs sequel that was teased all the way back... well, during the first Spaceballs movie: Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money. Recently Brooks has seemed open to the idea, admitting on Adam Corolla's podcast Take a Knee that it makes perfect sense to take advantage of the current Star Wars hype by dropping a Spaceballs sequel in theaters not long after a Star Wars movie. “If I did a movie that came out right after Star Wars comes out — maybe a couple of months later — I’d have a big weekend, you know? No matter what, even if it fell on its ass and didn’t... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Tye Sheridan Set to Star in Steven Spielberg's 'Ready Player One' Posted: 25 Feb 2016 01:30 PM PST What young actor wouldn't want to work with Steven Spielberg, especially when it comes to the adaptation of a literary phenomenom? Richard Dreyfuss was a promising young actor (American Graffiti) when he was elevated into a star in Spielberg's adaptation of Peter Benchley's Jaws back in 1975. Whoopi Goldberg had already demonstrated her potential on stage before she launched onto another level with her starring role in Spielberg's adaptation of Alice Walker's The Color Purple in 1985. Young Christian Bale emerged onto the world stage with his starring role in Spielberg's adaptation of J.G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun in 1987.
