| Posted: 18 Apr 2016 11:00 PM PDT Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture: Re-Arranged Movie Score of the Day: Watch and hear music producer Tushar Lall perform his Indianized versions of Star Wars music, including the score from The Force Awakens (via Reddit): Movie Parody of the Day: Saturday Night Live takes on the God's Not Dead franchise and controversial religious freedom laws in this fake trailer: Movie-Themed Cookout of the Day: Some vegans made a life-size, meatless replica of E.T. and roasted him on a spit and then ate him to protest "the needs of eaters who seek a surrogate for the sacrificial and ritual aspects of convivial, meat-based, barbecues."

| Marvel Studios Countdown: What If The 'Civil War' Teams Were Swapped? Posted: 18 Apr 2016 09:00 PM PDT There’s an old Marvel comic series called What If that allows for stories of speculative Marvel fiction - “What if Punisher became Venom?” and that sort of thing. It’s a place for writers and artists to either flip a concept on its head or pick a key moment in comic history and change the outcome. So, in the grand tradition of Marvel’s What If, let’s take a look at the players in the upcoming film Captain America: Civil War, and see if there’s good character-motivated reasons for them to be on opposite teams. On “Team Iron Man,” we have Iron Man, War Machine, Black Widow, Vision and Black Panther, with Spider-Man as an ace-in-the-hole. Over on “Team Cap,” we’ve got Captain America, Hawkeye, Winter...

| Simon Pegg Says 'Star Trek Beyond' Does Not Conclude a Trilogy Posted: 18 Apr 2016 07:30 PM PDT Movie trilogies used to mean something. A few of them still do. There's the Back to the Future trilogy, the much more recent Dark Knight trilogy and, to a degree, both the original Star Wars trilogy and the prequels stand enough on their own that they count, too. But ever since Fox invented the term "quadrilogy" for the Alien franchise, and yet has continued past four titles anyway, the idea of a film trio is all but lost. Even while so many series (see Transformers) keep forcing groups of three movies within long-running franchises. Well, not Star Trek. The other iconic sci-fi property with "star" in the title is fine being different from Star Wars and the rest. Maybe it's because it began as a TV series. Maybe it's because its first run of movies... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 'Jurassic World 2' Lands an 'Impossible' Director Posted: 18 Apr 2016 06:00 PM PDT When Colin Trevorrow was hired to direct Jurassic World, his biggest movie to date was a low budget comedy about a guy trying to convince people he's a time traveler. It had no big set pieces. It had no crazy special effects in it. Basically, there's nothing in Safety Not Guaranteed that would naturally make you think, "Yes, this guy should make a movie with a huge budget, big set pieces and crazy special effects!" Obviously the decision to hire Trevorrow worked out for everyone involved - Jurassic World is one of the biggest movies ever - but it was certainly an odd hire at the time. That's not the case with Jurassic World 2. Producer Frank Marshall has now officially confirmed that J.A. Bayona will be directing the sequel, and it's incredibly...

| Tribeca Buzz: The Future of Family Movies, The Next 'Whiplash' and More Posted: 18 Apr 2016 04:30 PM PDT The 2016 Tribeca Film Festival is currently in full swing, with movie screenings, nerdy filmmaker conversations and hip parties dominating the scene in lower Manhattan. Here's some of the best stuff we've seen so far... The Best Movie Wolves What It's Like: Think along the lines of Whiplash meets White Men Can't Jump meets Friday Night Lights, except set in the world of high school basketball. Why We Love It: From director Bart Freundlich (Trust the Man), Wolves tracks the story of Anthony (newcomer Taylor John Smith), the star of his New York City-set high school basketball team and the pressures that come with being good enough to snag that scholarship to a top college (in his case, Cornell University). Wolves moves beyond the pressures of elite... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Posted: 18 Apr 2016 03:00 PM PDT Now that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is out on home video, it's a good time to look back at where the series has been and also to look ahead at where future episodes might be going. Fans are well versed about the first film in the series, originally known simply as Star Wars before it was retitled Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. In recent months, however, we've gotten a new look at the movie thanks to Peter Mayhew, who portrayed Chewbacca. Via social media, the actor has been sharing pages from his copies of the original and revised screenplay, written by George Lucas. In the movie as we know it, Ben, aka Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), duels with Darth Vader as he and his fellow rebels are seeking to escape from the Death Star. The fight comes to a shocking...
