'Prometheus 2' Movie Release, Plot & Trailer: Alien vs Blade Runner Storyline Featured in Sequel? [Rumors]

A lot has been going on in the film industry, and according to a report from KPopStarz, MoviePilot has pointed out that director Ridley Scott has placed Easter eggs on the first movie that told clues about what the upcoming prequel will bring.

Among these Easter Eggs are the matching interface of "Alien" spaceship, as well as the cars on "Blade Runner and Weyland (Guy Pierce) referencing Tyrell as the competitor who lived in a "pyramid overlooking a city of angels."

Prometheus 2 is filled with possibilities, and the website pointed out, "Perhaps the Blade Runner chases a David 8 (Michael Fassbender) to whatever planet he and Elizabeth are going to. While the Blade Runner is hunting David 8 he could get caught up in a battle with the Xenomorphs."

That seems to be a good idea.

A lot of news sites, blogs, and online communities have been clamoring for a "Prometheus" sequel, but Scott remains to be mum about the topic. On the other hand, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" star, Michael Fassbender, has confirmed the sequel during the promotion of his mutant hero movie. When production will begin is another thing altogether.

But would the X-Men star be okay with working with Ridley Scott?

"For sure. I love Ridley, he's a master filmmaker," Fassbender beamed.

A plot summary from comingsoon.net read, "Stars Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace are both contracted to reprise their roles of David and Elizabeth Shaw, respectively. The original film, a quasi-prequel to Scott's 1979 "Alien," saw a team of scientists and explorers embarking on a journey to a distant world, where they discovered the answers to some of humanity's most profound questions."

Seems like the "Alien" sub-plot isn't too far off.

As if that's enough geek rumors, Microsoft also announced during the Electronic Entertainment Expo that "Halo: Nightfall" is scheduled to be released on November 11. It is being co-produced by Scott Free TV and 343 Industries and is purposefully made to connect the past with the future in Halo Universe.

Bonnie Ross from 343 Industries said, "Nightfall will be packaged as part of a collection that will include all four previously-released Halo games. The digital feature is meant to bridge the gap between past Halo installments, which feature Master Chief as their protagonist, and Halo 5, which will feature a new hero."

Penned by Michael Green and Jack Paglen, Ridley Scott's "Prometheus 2" is slated to be released on March 4, 2016.

‘Jurassic World’ Director Tweets First Dinosaur Teaser Photo; Spoiler Roundup

“Jurassic Park” fans have been desperate for any scoop on the coming fourth installment, “Jurassic World.” Plot details and photos from the set have leaked online, but the highly anticipated (and slightly mutated) dinosaurs have been kept under wraps … until now. Director Colin Trevorrow took to Twitter on Tuesday to give fans a very slight taste of the extinct creature.

The photo that Trevorrow posted is black and white and appears to be of a street. While it seems innocent enough, a closer look at the shot reveals a terrifying shadow with shredded teeth.

“Nights,” he simply captioned the image.
https://twitter.com/colintrevorrow/status/479041456867262464/photo/1

Needless to say, fans of the “Jurassic Park” series immediately began to freak out and demand more shots of the actual prehistoric monster. But alas that’s not in the cards … yet.

Colin Trevorrow’s teaser photo comes almost a month after he confirmed major story lines to Slash Film. The director decided to come clean about the plot after JoBlo.com leaked spoilers regarding “Jurassic World.” Check out the scoop roundup below:

-Location: The new movie will take place in a fully functional park on Isla Nublar.

-The “Jurassic Park” features a biological preserve, safari, zoo, theme park, hotels, restaurants, nightlife and a golf course. The facility receives more than 20,000 visitors every day who arrive to the park by ferry from Costa Rica.

-Time Jump: “Jurassic World” will pick up 22 years after “Jurassic Park.” According to Trevorrow, “It’s the realization of John Hammond’s dream.”

-While the focus will be on the dinosaurs, the movie also will play off of society’s obsession with technology and making more money. This will lead to a new dinosaur created by geneticists. But the director reassured fans that the new dinosaur will not be a “mutant freak.”

Chris Pratt, Judy Greer, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jake Johnson, Lauren Lapkus and Katie McGrath star in the coming film.

Terminator: Genesis – Arnold Hints at the Plot of the Movie

By Sachin Trivedi | June 18, 2014 3:21 PM EST 

Arnold will be back in "Terminator" 5: Genesis and this time there will be new twists to the story. Arnold hints at the plot details of his upcoming movie. The movie will be released in 2015 but the exact release date for Australia is still awaited.

Speaking to MTV Arnold Schwarzenegger said that it was more difficult to do action flicks now compared to when the actor was on his 30s or 40s. He also confirmed that that there will be a younger T-800 - a robot from the future sent by Skynet, a self aware artificial intelligence, to kill the leader of the human resistance movement and his mother.

"Terminator: Genesis" will also feature an older reprogrammed T-800 which fights against Skynet. But there could be twists in the movie. The time travel element in the movie allows the producers a lot of room for maneuvering and the script may not be heavily bound to follow the story line of the original movies.
In the original "Terminator" movies the main thrust was to try to stop Skynet from becoming operational and trying to stop the nuclear war referred to in the movies as "Judgement Day." Each time Arnold was sent back in time to either kill or save John Connor, the leader of the human resistance.

In the movie "Terminator: Rise of the Machines" it was revealed that John Connor was killed by the T-850 and was later captured and reprogrammed by John's wife Kate Brewster. Kate becomes the new leader of the resistance movement and sends the reprogrammed T-850 back in time to stop the event from happening. The new movie could explore these events in more detail. Movie buffs have so far not seen these events in an elaborate setting.

The cast of "Terminator: Genesis" includes Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese, Aaron V. Williamson as T-800, Jason Clarke as John Connor, Courtney B. Vance as Myles Dyson, Dayo Okeniyi as Danny Dyson, Michael Gladis as Lieutenant Matias, Teri Wyble as Mariam, Bryant Prince as the young Kyle Reese and Gregory Alan Williams as detective Harding.

"Terminator" 5: Genesis will be released on June 26, 2015 in the UK and on July 1, 2015 in the U.S. The release date in Australia and many of the other countries is still awaited. Arnold Schwarzenegger fans are excited to see the actor once again in the iconic role.

'Star Wars: Episode VII': Carrie Fisher Lost 40 Pounds to Play Princess Lei, Harrison Ford to Reprise Hans Solo

Carrie Fisher is all set to reprise her role as Princess Lei in "Star Wars: Episode VII" but this time, the actress may have a entirely different look. Fisher's mother and screen legend Debbie Reynolds has revealed that Fisher has lost an immense amount of weight for the role.

"She's very excited about it... she's been on a diet ever since, because you know they have to be up to par, so she looks terrific, she's lost 40 pounds." Reynolds told Extra.

Reynolds' revelation gives a little hint on how will Fisher look in the film.

Other actors who will reprise their roles include Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford. Hamill will play the character of Luke Skywalker, where as Ford will return as Han Solo.

Though Fisher is prepping up for the role and seems to be putting all her energy into attaining a new look, Ford may not be that excited. The actor had suggested a while back that there is not much left in store for his character.

"The breadth of his story utility was never extensive," Ford said on his Star Wars character to Entertainment Weekly. "He was the foil between the other more compelling elements of the film, between the sage old warrior and the young hero. There's not much breadth of character to explore what we got out of him."

Ford's character Solo has been compared to Indiana Jones on several occasions. However, the actor feels Solo is not that exciting a character as Jones.

"He's got a good heart, but I think he's certainly a much less interesting character than Indiana Jones," Ford had said.

"Star Wars: Episode VII" is set to hit theaters on 18 December 2015. The film is directed by J.J. Abrams, and the screenplay is written by Abrams, George Lucas, Lawrence Kasdan.

‘They asked me but it just would have bored me’: Star Wars actor Denis Lawson turns down Episode 7 role

Denis Lawson, aka, Wedge Antilles
Believe it or not, but not everyone is excited about the new Star Wars movie - one of the actors from the original trilogy has said no to appearing in Episode 7.

Actor Denis Lawson – who played X-Wing fighter pilot Wedge Antilles in the original trilogy – revealed he turned down an offer to reprise his role in JJ Abrams’s hotly-anticipated sequel.
‘I’m not going to do that,’ Lawson told The Courier. ‘They asked me but it just would have bored me.’

Lawson – who is uncle to prequel trilogy star Ewan McGregor – has previously said he would only be interested in a role that was larger than his original appearances.

The actor’s career has mainly focused on television, including stints on Holby City and Parade’s End.
Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker are confirmed to be returning to Disney’s sci-fi franchise, along with several newcomers including Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver and Andy Serkis.

Star Wars: Episode 7 will open worldwide on December 18 2015.

Bloody Disgusting: Is Ridley Scott Off ‘Prometheus 2′?

by Evan Dickson of www.bloody-disgusting.com

Last year 20th Century Fox hired Jack Paglen to write a script for Prometheus 2. Back in March of this year they brought Michael Green (who just wrote the new Blade Runner for Ridley Scott and Warner Bros) on to rewrite it. Despite the hopeful Blade Runner 2 association and some encouraging comments from the director himself, the involvement of Ridley Scott in all of this has been something of a premature foregone conclusion. I mean, he’ll be involved somehow. But will he actually direct the thing? We haven’t really gotten a confirmation on this one way or another.

The Hollywood Reporter just put up a story a few moments ago that has Scott in talks to direct The Martian, another space epic, for Fox. Matt Damon is set to star. And you kind of get the sense that this thing is going to happen sooner rather than later because its initial director, Drew Goddard (The Cabin In The Woods), “left the project due to his directing commitments for Sony’s Sinister Six, the planned Spider-Man spin-off.” It kind of sounds like a timing issue and Scott could be on this as soon as he finishes up post on Exodus.

Which doesn’t leave a lot of time for Prometheus 2 (it’s possible that Fox is okay sitting on P2 for another year or two, but that doesn’t really gel with the renewed urgency the production seems to have). It would also mean two back to back sci-fi/space movies, which might be more than Scott is interested in taking on (he famously didn’t come back to the Alien franchise for quite some time because he wanted to do something different).

Last week Michael Fassbender seemed more bullish than usual on Prometheus 2‘s prospects (though, to be fair, he still didn’t know when it was happening), which gives some creedence to the studio’s enthusiasm for the project.

Right now this is all just a series of questions. I don’t have any more info than what I’m laying out here. But it’s interesting to ponder the possibility of Scott guiding the franchise as a producer rather than a director. If The Martian is shifting directors in and out because of scheduling, it would seem that it’s at least possible that this project takes first position over Prometheus 2. Would Fox wait another couple of years for a sequel? And is Scott even still interested?

Is Tom Savini directing Friday the 13th?

Jason will return Hockey mask and all for yet another sequel to Friday the 13th at some point in 2015... But who's directing the movie?

Apparently, during a panel at the Mad Monster Party Convention recently, award-winning special effects and make-up artist - and Man The Knife Killer actor - Tom Savini mentioned that he was being courted to direct the new Friday The 13th!

This would make for a fantastic addition to the new flick and would surely excite the fanbase to know Jason is in the capable hands of slashy Savini. However, according to other sources, it sounds like Savini being part of the franchise again is too good to be true. BloodyDisgusting are telling us not to hold our breath, saying that:
Special effects legend Tom Savini was at the Mad Monster Party in North Carolina this weekend telling fans that he’s “being courted” to direct the next Friday the 13th... Instead of rushing to post false news for the traffic bump, we did the work, checked with our sources, and were able to learn that this is completely untrue.
So, was Tom Savini being considered to direct at some point and it fell through? Was he just having fun with the crowd at the Mad Monster Party Convention? It's hard to tell, but it does sound like Paramount is trying to nail down a helmer for Friday the 13th, so stay close for more info as we get it!

The Last of Us movie will adapt the game's storyline

by Danny Cowan

The upcoming film version of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us will be an adaptation of the game's original post-apocalyptic storyline, creative director Neil Druckmann told IGN this week.

"It's an adaptation of the story of The Last of Us," Druckmann said. "As far as where we go and how we make it fit into a film, how it takes into account the unique properties of film... We're not sure yet. We're only just scratching the surface."

Historically, video game-based movies often veer sharply from their source material. The Super Mario Bros. film's reptilian underworld and Street Fighter: The Movie's Bison Dollars linger as reminders of the rocky relationship between the film and game industries, and the difficulties involved in bringing popular games to theaters.

Rumors of a film based on The Last of Us began circulating with a pair of URL registrations late last year, and Deadline later reported that Druckmann would write its script with input from Naughty Dog staff. Sam Raimi's company Ghost House Pictures will assist with production.

Star Wars VII 'will return to ice planet Hoth' (March 2014 UPDATE on Star Wars 7 as we know so far)


Reports indicate Iceland will stand in for planet Hoth when shooting for Star Wars VII begins next month LAST UPDATED AT 15:20 ON Mon 24 Mar 2014 THE next film in the Star Wars series could include scenes on the ice planet of Hoth, last seen in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, according to reports.

Filming is not officially set to begin until May but Icelandic news site Visir reports that the Star Wars crew may begin work on scenes in Iceland as early as next month.

Hoth was the setting for an epic clash between the rebel alliance and the evil Galactic Empire, led by Darth Vader.

The battle between rebels and the imperial forces on the snowy planet is one of the best loved sequences in the sci-fi series.

Director JJ Abrams has filmed in Iceland once before, recording "plate shots" for the 2013 picture Star Trek Into Darkness, Visir says.

Plate shots are background images, often used alongside green screen recordings or computer animation to create composite sequences that superimpose actors or props over a particular setting.

If it does go ahead, filming in Iceland is expected to capture background imagery of this kind for Star Wars VII. Icelandic film production company True North has been linked to the project.

Members of the Star Wars crew were reported to be scouting for locations in Iceland alongside True North in October last year, although True North declined to comment on any involvement with the picture.

Disney and Lucasfilm have also released no new information about the upcoming film since the revelation last week that Star Wars VII would be set 30 years after Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

Many believe that the new films will see the return of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill in their roles as Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker. Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o and Girls star Adam Driver have also been tipped for roles in the new film.

Star Wars VII to be set 30 years after last film 19 March THE next film in the Star Wars series will be set 30 years after Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Walt Disney's CEO, Bob Iger, confirmed the setting at a meeting of the company's shareholders on Tuesday.

The new film will also feature a return of the robot R2D2, but executives remain tight-lipped about other casting decisions.

JJ Abrams, the creative force behind some of the most popular sci-fi films of the last decade will direct and co-write the new film that will star "a trio of new young leads along with some very familiar faces", according to the official Star Wars website.

Industry insiders have tipped Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o and Girls actor Adam Driver for roles. Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill are expected to reprise their roles as Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker.

Another Hollywood heavyweight touted for a lead is Harry Potter and Batman actor Gary Oldman. According to The Guardian, actors who have already auditioned include Zac Efron and Saoirse Ronan.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Fassbender have also been linked with key roles.

 Filming will begin in two months' time at London's historic Pinewood Studios.

The six previous movies in the Star Wars series were devised and directed by George Lucas and have taken almost £3bn in cinemas worldwide since the first film was released in 1977.

Star Wars Ep 7 rumours: who will star in new film? 14 February CHIWETEL Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Benedict Cumberbatch are among 15 actors rumoured to have bagged a role in the new Star Wars film, written and directed by J.J. Abrams.

The original trio of Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) and Harrison Ford (Hans Solo) are also almost certain to reunite for the film, which is set for release in September 2015.

Leaked information from Drew McWeeny on film website HitFlix apparently revealed that the script is complete and that filming will begin at London’s Pinewood studios later this year. He said: “Multiple sources now have confirmed for us that Star Wars Episode VII is set to start shooting mid-May and will run through September of this year.” He also claimed that “most principal casting on the film is complete”.

Another Hollywood heavyweight touted for a lead role is Harry Potter and Batman actor Gary Oldman. “They’ve called,” said the 55-year-old this week during an interview with Sky Movies. "I don't know if it’s, er … You know, I'm more cynical about it now,” he said. “I'll believe it when I'm on the plane home. The deal isn't done, but yeah, they've inquired.”

The only officially confirmed cast member is Kenny Baker, who will reprise his 1977 performance as R2D2.

We’ve put together a list of all the actors who’ve been linked with the film:
Almost certain Carrie Fisher let slip in an interview that she, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford will reprise their original roles, although it has not yet been officially confirmed by Abrams.

In the running According to the Guardian, actors who have already auditioned for roles include:
Zac Efron
Saoirse Ronan (The Lovely Bones, Hanna)
Michael B Jordan (The Wire, Friday Night Lights)

In talks Actors reported to have had talks with JJ Abrams about a role in the film include:
Gary Oldman
Benedict Cumberbatch
Michael Fassbender
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Simon Pegg
Jack O’Connell (Skins, Game of Thrones)
Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike, I am Number Four)
Sullivan Stapleton (Animal Kingdom, The Hunter)
Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad)
Adam Driver (Girls)

 It is thought that the full cast list will be released in the next couple of months.

Ridley Scott To Shoot Multi-Fassbender Prometheus 2 This Year, Green Lantern Writer On Board – UPDATED

by Brendon Connelly

This is interesting. Nattering at a junket, I heard a rumour about the Prometheus sequel needing Michael Fassbender to play multiple David 8 synthetics and it’s now this is being corroborated by The Wrap.

I wonder if this means the other half of the rumour, about the film leading us right up to the beginning of Alien, will also pan out? Maybe the gossipeers just made a lucky guess.

Anyway, enough of those maybes, here’s the status as it stands now. Ridley Scott is planning to shoot Prometheus 2 later this year, and it will indeed take the March 2016 release date that came up for discussion the other day. Green Lantern and Gotham’s Michael Green will take a fresh pass at the script, working from a draft by Jack Paglen, and having apparently pleased Scott with his take on the Blade Runner spin-off.

According to The Wrap, the tone of the film will be much more like Alien than Prometheus, and while that’s no bad thing, I’m not sure tone and atmosphere were where Prometheus let us down.
I was secretly hoping Johnny Hardstaff was going to get his hands on the Prometheus sequel while Scott marched on to something else on his very long list of intriguing engagements – The Forever War, in particular, seems somewhat overdue.

Hardstaff directed the various ‘virals’ associated with the first Prometheus and they were as cold and sharp as ice. Don’t you want to see what the man behind this short video can do with a feature film running time?
UPDATEVariety are saying Ridley Scott may not direct, though he will produce, and that the film doesn’t yet have a release date… this being despite a March 2016 date on Fox’s calendar being held ready for some sort of Scott-related film. Hmmm.

'Ghostbusters 3' Release Date: Sony Starts Work On Ghostbusters Sequel, But Without Bill Murray And A Bunch Of Others

Guys, I've got some bad news. Sony Pictures has finally, officially, begun to work on "Ghostbusters 3." That's bad enough, for a variety of reasons that I am more than happy to discuss, if you can look past your nostalgia-tinted glasses. But a more immediate problem has come up: Ivan Reitman, the director of the original "Ghostbusters," has dropped out of the project. Don't do it, Sony Pictures. I know you'll do it anyway, but don't.

The "Ghostbusters 3" release date news comes to us via Deadline, which has reported that Sony is planning on starting production in early 2015 here in New York City. This movie has been mothballed for longer than pretty much any movie ever; it's been loosely in the works pretty much since the last one came out in 1989. And there have been endless stumbling blocks, most of them named Bill Murray. That part hasn't changed, but the team finally has a script that Reitman, Dan Aykroyd, and Sony Pictures don't hate (Bill Murray won't read it; he has things to do, like act in prestige movies and pop into Williamsburg bars).

The "Ghostbusters 3" trouble began in February, when, to the great sadness of absolutely everyone except literal terrorists, Harold Ramis died at the age of 69. Ramis, of course, starred in the original "Ghostbusters" as one of the title characters. He also wrote the movie, and directed the landmark "Groundhog Day," one of the greatest '90s movies, and "Caddyshack," a largely forgotten sports movie. Just kidding: both movies are iconic. Ramis was very close friends with Ivan Reitman, and his death evidently hit him pretty hard. As a result, and because Bill Murray simply won't do it, Reitman told Deadline that he's pulling out of the movie.

That's not going to hold up the "Ghostbusters 3" release date, though. If anything, it will finally get it made: they don't have to meet Reitman's high standards. He's fully backing the project, and is actually helping Sony find a new, appropriate director. The script, apparently, keeps the original Ghostbusters in a rather minimal role. But that's pretty necessary, especially when one of them has passed away, one of them won't do it, and one of them is Dan Aykroyd. That last one might have the worst lot of all.

As for the actual "Ghostbusters 3" premiere date, it's hard to say. If the movie really does start filming in late 2014 or early 2015-the latter is more likely, considering there isn't a director or a cast yet-we would probably see the movie in theatres in summer 2016. But they're going to need someone really, really good to prevent this from becoming a huge stinker. Ivan Reitman could have done it, and his steady hand will certainly help it along-he's staying on as producer, which counts for something.
But without Harold Ramis, without Bill Murray, without Ivan Reitman, is there even any point to Ghostbusters 3?

'Terminator 5' News: Arnold Schwarzenegger Spotted Prepping for Film At Venice Beach? [VIDEO]

Arnold Schwarzenegger revisited his body building turf in Venice, LA and shared a video giving fans a little tour.

Schwarzenegger played tour guide, as he shared a clip of him driving about Venice and recollected the time he spent there when he first moved from Austria to California in 1968. The actor talked about the vibrant environment and shared his experiences working out in the neighborhood. This trip was documented while filming blueprint for his website Bodybuilding.com. He visits the old spots where him and the guys would hang out and even an old wall, which him and one of his friends, built.
Pre-production for filming for the fifth installment in the Terminator series will begin in New Orleans on Apr. 21.

The cast includes Schwarzenegger, who will be reprising hus role as the Terminator, Emilia Clarke, who will be playing Sarah Connor, and Jason Clarke, who will play John Connor in the film.

Schwarzenegger has filmed in New Orleans for Escape Plan and Clarke shot for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in the state.

The director of the film, Alan Taylor, had previously suggested that his inspirations for the reboot were derived from the Batman series

Taylor spoke about how much he loved the first two films in the Terminator franchise.

"We all love the first two and I actually went back and watched them again and my respect level only went up for those first two," he said of The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

The director went on to speak of a similar franchise being an inspiration for the fifth Terminator, suggesting that two films in the Batman franchise were "wonderful."

Terminator 5 is scheduled to release in July 2015.

Terminator 5 Movie News: Arnold Schwarzenneger Will Be Playing As A Human Alongside Game Of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke; Movie Set In New Orleans

Terminator 5 Movie News: The announcement of the new Terminator 5 movie came with a set of three more movies that would bring the robot model 101 also known as Arnold Schwarzenegger to have three more movies for a trilogy.

It has been reported, that the setting of the three future movies will be 2027, 2029 and 2036. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been continuing to be active in the action movie scenes and he is very well expected to finish the new set of trilogy of the film.

For the casting news, it is official the mother of dragons Emilia Clarke is now the mother of mankind's savior, as the "Game of Thrones" star landed the Sarah Connor role on the latest installment of the Terminator franchise.

According to Deadline, Emilia Clarke has ousted "Short Term 12" star Brie Larson for the Sarah Connor role in Terminator: Genesis.

Clarke will be re-joining director Alan Taylor from the HBO hit TV series "Game Of Thrones."

Winning the Sarah Connor role is a big break for Clarke who is reportedly been looking for roles that could match "Game Of Thrones." Definitely, this high profile role will make her name well known in the world of film and will open an opportunity for her outside of the HBO hit TV series.

Meanwhile, the "Zero Dark Thirty" actor Jason Clarke (no relation with Emilia Clarke) is said to be in talks with the casting crew to play the role of John Conner.

Jason Clarke is 44, while Emilia is 26, pretty odd combination for to play a role for a mother and son right? The screenplay reportedly involves some kind of a time travel scenes that will help reboot the series while continuing the storyline of the four films that were shown already.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is returning to reprise his role from the franchise that made him a big Hollywood star, as reported by Variety.

The casting crew is reportedly moving forward and finalizing who would play the other lead role, Kyle Reese, with Variety revealing that three front runners vying for the role are Garrett Hedlund of the movie Tron: Legacy, Nicholas Hoult of the hit mutant series X-Men: First Class and Boyd Holbrook, who appeared in the movie The Host.

Terminator 5 movie release date is scheduled on July 1, 2015 as it is now on the process of shooting the film.

by Wesley Win-Poole of www.eurogamer.net

Sony is in talks with Horrible Bosses and The King of Kong director Seth Gordon to helm the live-action movie based on Naughty Dog's Uncharted series.

That's according to Deadline, which reports the most recent script was penned by Safe House's David Guggenheim (who is said to be working on Bad Boys 3).

It's the latest development in the on-again off-again Uncharted movie, which was once set to be directed by David O Russell (American Hustle) with Mark Wahlberg playing Nathan Drake. Later, Neil Burger (Limitless and The Illusionist), signed on as director, but he also left the project.

Mark Hamill's Reddit AMA: The 6 Best Questions & Answers

by Kelly Woo of www.moviefone.com

With "Star Wars" fever growing ever hotter, original trilogy star Mark Hamill stoked the fire today by participating in a Reddit AMA.

Hamill -- who will appear in the upcoming "Star Wars: Episode VII" -- answered a wide range of questions, from his favorite soups (tomato and French onion) to his favorite music ('60s rock 'n' roll). But we were naturally most interested in his answers about movies, so here are some highlights from his AMA:

1. tmoss726 asked: Did you ever expect Star Wars to be such a critical success?
I didn't expect it to be a critical success, I thought people would like it, because it took so many elements from movies we were familiar with, pirate, cowboy movies, war movies, and added humor. That's the thing that got me. Science fiction usually isn't funny. They have an 8 ft furry dog driving a spaceship, he's naked except headphones, that's funny. Even if it doesn't get great reviews it'll be a cult movie. People will go watch it at midnight because its so unique. I thought it would be popular but never thought it would be on the cover of Time magazine.
2. IAmArique asked: The age old question. Who would win in a fight: Batman, Luke Skywalker, or Skips?
Well you know Batman is physically much more formidable, but Luke has that Jedi magic, maybe he'd use mind tricks. I hope it would never come to that, because I think I'd have a hard time beating someone like Batman. My only hope would be mind tricks or running and hiding.
3. Gooberplease asked: What is your all time favorite movie?
I don't have an all time favorite, some of the movies that really impacted me as a kid were Hard Days Night, the Beatles first movie. I didn't think I liked musicals and then I saw West Side Story and it just crushed me. I was 9 or 10 years old and it was so tragic. That one stands out.
4. Vorlux asked: "Who was your hero when you were six?"
I used to watch superman on TV, and i loved the idea of flying. i used to wonder if i wanted to fly like superman or peter pan. Peter Pan looked like it was more fun, superman was so bolt straight. And i loved Zorro, the old Disney Zorro. What is it with guys with secret identities who go out and fight crime? And James bond. I loved all that stuff.
5. seamslegit asked: What is your favorite Lightsaber Color?
just worked with Samuel L Jackson and he reminded me he had a purple lightsaber, which nobody had, I thought that was cool that he got his own color. My favorite is green, I'm happy with what I had. You don't need to give me lavender or raw umber or whatever.
6. erikbro asked: If you could change one scene from the original trilogy what would you change and why?
There was a scene at the beginning of the first movie that was cut out. When you're first introduced to [Luke] he's on the farm and he sees the Robots, when R2 and C3PO eject he races to the club, and you see what his life is like on Tataouine. This beautiful actress calls him wormy. I loved it bc you saw that he wasn't well liked by his peers, and he bumps into Garrick Hagon, and Luke is really excited bc he has joined the empire, and Luke is so anxious to get off the farm and find his lot in life. He's thrilled that Biggs has joined the Empire, and feels as soon as he'd get the chance he'd join the rebel alliance. this shows that Luke is apolitical, and joining the empire is even attractive to him.

They changed to get to the plot faster, so now it goes straight to the 4th scene. The only place you can see it is the novelization of the screen play. With all the tweaking and adaptations, why not put it in to add detail to the story that's not there?

'Star Wars 7' and 'Empire Strikes Back' writer Lawrence Kasdan scripting Boba Fett standalone movie for release after 2015's 'Episode VII'?

Towards the end of 2013, it was revealed that Lawrence Kasdan, the writer of The Empire Strikes Back, would be taking over writing the script for 2015's Star Wars Episode VII alongside director J.J. Abrams. On top of this position, a new report claims that Kasdan is also penning a Boba Fett standalone film for the newly rebooted Star Wars film universe. Fett is one of the most iconic characters from the franchise, so fans should be happy to know that he is possibly in the hands of the man who essentially created the character.

This news comes from Jon Schnepp, a producer, director and actor best known for his work on The Venture Bros. and Metalocalypse. The well-established Schnepp says that a source of his has revealed the news that Kasdan is writing the Boba Fett script for this new standalone movie. Considering Schnepp's position in the entertainment world, this news is not far-fetched!

"One of them is Boba Fett," Schnepp said recently in regards to the standalone films. "It is. I know. I know for a fact. I will never reveal my source, but it is the one written by Lawrence Kasdan."

Again, Schnepp has ties to Star Wars thanks to his work with Cartoon Network, which ran the Clone Wars animated series.

‘The Last of Us’ and ‘Uncharted’ PS4 developer talks movie inspirations

Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann provided some comments in regards to being inspired with several Hollywood movies. According to a report from Gaming Bolt on Dec. 20, both directors from Naughty Dog (the development studio behind “The Last of Us” and the upcoming new “Uncharted” video game for the PS4) praised the critically acclaimed film, “Gravity.”

Bruce Straley stated that he was impressed at how the movie was intense yet simple at the same time, calling it an inspiration. You can check out a set of screens from “The Last of Us” in the slideshow to the left of this article and his comments below (courtesy of Empire Online and Gaming Bolt):
The world that we, Neil and I, have been inside of for three and a half years making The Last Of Us… that movie nailed on the head, in every way, shape and form. It’s so well done, so intense, so simple, all at the same time. It’s a very inspirational movie, to say the least.
Neil Druckmann also talked about “Children of Men,” saying that the action file “was brilliant in its simplicity,” adding that he also felt the same way about “Gravity.” He went on to state that Naughty Dog wanted to take a similar approach of creating a simple plot that focuses on the characters. You can find his statement below:
That story, for an action film, was brilliant in its simplicity. And I was upset that no game takes that approach. We don’t need over-the-top aliens and all this stuff, it can be down at the very human level. And I felt very similarly walking out of Gravity. So we wanted to take that approach of a very character-driven, simple plot so we could just focus on characters.
Naughty Dog is currently working on a new story-based DLC for “The Last of Us,” which was released earlier this year. Another development team from within the studio also started work on the next video game of the “Uncharted” series for the PS4. The upcoming title was just recently announced and currently does not have an official release date.

Emilia Clarke, 'Game of Thrones' Star, Joins 'Terminator 5' Cast as Sarah Connor

"Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke has been officially joined the cast of "Terminator 5" movie cast as Sarah Connor, beating out fellow actress Brie Larson for the role.

The starlet, best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen on the hit HBO show, is on her way to becoming a full-fledged movie star soon.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the British beauty has been officially cast as Sarah Connor in the upcoming movie, as Paramount confirmed.

While an announcement hasn't been made yet, the star had been keeping busy on the set of "Game of Thrones."


The British star was recently photographed shooting scenes in the city of Dalmatia, with her signature blue dress and long blonde hair.

According to Coming Soon, shooting of the "Game of Thrones" cast and crew will continue until its premiere next spring.

Aside from her television series and movie career, the 26-year-old has been busy battling dating rumors since she's gaining fame.

The beautiful star laughed off all the tabloid reports that sparked back in the summer about her and Hollywood hunk Franco, even claiming her family asked her about the supposed ring.

Speaking to The U.K. Guardian, Clarke claimed dating can be overwhelming in Hollywood, now that she's gone thru a breakup from comedian Seth MacFarlane.

"It's hilarious," says Clarke. "He is, of course, beautiful. But I feel there's only a handful of women who could form an engagement after two meetings, and I'm not one of them."

Prometheus 2 Ready to go according to Ridley Scott

Here's but a small blurb of a bigger interview, this was the only part pertaining to Prometheus 2;

Speaking to Empire Magazine, Scott teased:  "Prometheus 2 is written.  I have already gotten the next two films ready to go.  That will 2014, 2015."

Now, does this mean he has the next two Prometheus films ready to go, or just his next two projects ready to go.  I have heard that Ridley Scott has wanted to make this a trilogy....
