THE CREATOR: Gareth Edwards’ Latest Teases Artificial Aggression In The First Trailer
From the director of the surprise hit ‘STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE’ (2016) comes what looks to be an intriguing post-apocalyptic film exploring the human drama amidst a horrific conflict between humans and robots. Although that premise is nothing new, given the last decade the idiosyncrasy stems from the relationship between the weathered special forces soldier played by John David Washington and his adopted child – who happens to be a robot. Tensions arise as the new father, is forced to choose between the fate of humanity and his new ward. Evidently English director Gareth Edwards has cut his teeth specifically on the science fiction genre, apart from the kaiju revamp that was ‘GODZILLA’ (2014) but what he has devised here could almost be the sci-fi equivalent of ‘ROAD TO PERDITION’ (2002). However, with automation becoming more and more prevalent in contemporary society this film may also offer a bleak message about AI […]
Review: ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY (2016) Brings Ample Balance To An Awakened Force (Reprint)
I have to credit a large part of my nerdiness to my Dad. I remember my sister and I going over on weekends and he’d have comic books all around the house and a movie collection that could rival no other. Of course he gave us a proper education by having us watch the cult action favorites, new releases, and gems from his ever-growing collection of flicks. I was in elementary school during the time when word had started to circulate that the Star Wars movies were going to get a digital remastering. Mom (the other half of my nerd genes) wanted to make a big event out of it, we were going to go to the Uptown down in Northwest DC to go see it. Dad, upon hearing about this, sat my sister and I down, pulled out the VHS Box set of Episodes 4-6, and we marathoned the […]

Kennedy: No Plans For A ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Sequel
Welp, fact is that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is pretty much selling itself much like any other event title I usually taper off from. How? Well you needn’t look further than the reports citing the need for “waiting rooms” with Fandango and Movietickets boasting their biggest first day sales ever, beating out Deadpool and Suicide Squad. So there. Love is in the air aplenty for Gareth Edwards whose diversely cast spin-off from the Star Wars canon featuring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Donnie Yen, Forest Whitaker and Mads Mikkelsen is now on track to open with $130 millon dollars. This probably doesn’t say much about the other films in tow, save for the fact that fans will be waiting with baited breath to see Episode VIII as well as the forthcoming Han Solo spin-off with Alden Ehrenrich, Donald Glover and Emilia Clarke. Thus, it still apparently brings to mind […]
Watch The Brand New International Trailer For ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY
Predictors are almost certain that Gareth Edwards’s latest, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, will be pretty exponential, though not as much as last year’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. That doesn’t change the fact that Star Wars itself has a global fanbase and will assuredly give the new spin-off origin film a box office shot and no less with a vision that clearly possesses the potential to muster support. The proof is in the trailer pudding, as always, and it just so happens that Japan is rolling out with an extended new trailer of its own, choc loaded with tons of new jewels and narrative to whet the appetite until December 16. It’s got more Felicity Jones, more Mikkelsen, more Mendelssohn, more blind Yen action, more Vader…hell, more of almost everything, gearing up for a nifty and nimble telling of the prequel aftermath before going into what we know […]
The Second Trailer For ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Gives You Hope
Yesterday’s poster reveal was nothing short of exciting this week in lieu of the upcoming second trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Thus, it has now arrived for your viewing below, and having undergone its share of targeted reshoots to improve the film even after the first trailer back in April, I’d say pretty much that nothing has changed, really. The hype and support are still definitely there as are the chances of some major box office success equal or just as significant as previous canon releases. SYNOPSIS: In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves. The film opens […]
A New ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Poster Awakens Awareness In The Force
A new trailer is expected to arrive on Thursday for Gareth Edwards’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and time will tell if it will bank as huge as the seventh of the new canon did last December. Some are speculating that it won’t and others either say it will or could care less, so long as they get to see it. Or Donnie Yen for that matter, which is fine. Anyhoo, a new poster spells great things this week for fans, including the one that Edwards himself reportedly unveiled during Wednesday’s “The Star Wars Show”, which you can view below. Actress Felicity Jones leads the cast with Diego Luna, Forrest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Ben Mendelssohn, Jiang Wen, action star Yen hovering just above the title logo, and a brooding Darth Vader in the background. via Deadline Set immediately before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, Rogue One […]
ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY – All Is As The Force Wills It In The New Trailer
There’s no question that much ado will be about anything and everything Star Wars as 2016 comes to a close. Director Gareth Edwards’s newest, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, unveiled a first trailer back in April, invoking a stunning visual homage to George Lucas’s classic vision that spins off mid-way of the six-film cannon focusing on the story of the Rebel Alliance as it planned to infiltrate and steal the plans to the Death Star. Additional filming has since taken place to liven things up some and so we now await to see just what that entails upon the film’s release this December. In the meantime however, as promised by last week’s trailer tease ads courtesy of the Rio Olympics, a brand new trailer is officially out and about, and filled to the brim with characters and lines that ultimately speak to you, including more for the Donnie Yen […]
ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Lands A New Poster And Behind-The-Scenes Reel
Things are electric this week in London where Star Wars Celebration Europe is underway. Disney and Lucasfilm are in full tilt with their latest slate of planning and production with the eighth installment of Star Wars just about wrapped for its release next year, and so before then, we have director Gareth Edwards on hand to bring us a truly warm, stylish and respectful take on the canon with a spin-off that opens the door for new heroes and villains to enter the fray between the main canon. For this, we get Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with actress Felicity Jones and actor Diego Luna leading the way in a story centered on a plan by the rebellion to steal the Death Star. No doubt, we can expect a few jewels along the way as the franchise evolves from here and into the next films – all of it […]
Character Actor Spencer Wilding Reportedly Playing Darth Vader In ROGUE ONE
Spencer Wilding towering against Scott Adkins in “Green Street Hooligans: Underground” (2013) Actor and kickboxer Spencer Wilding is largely known for protraying costumed roles in films like Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014) and Victor Frankentein (2015). However, he’s a better actor than he probably gets credit for and you’re more than welcome to vet that fact for yourself with a good viewing of director James Nunn’s 2013 action drama, Green Street Hooligans: Underground, where he plays one of the best trash-talking and hard-hitting villains you’ll see in a martial arts action flick. So what’s all the fuss about? Well, I only bring him up as a result of reports from Flickering Myth which now suggest that he’ll be making his own Star Wars entry as the body accomodating James Earl Jones’s defining voice for Darth Vader in Gareth Edwards’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story which opens this December. The teaser already […]
ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Rebels With The First Teaser Trailer

Abrams’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Disney and Lucasfilm have finally gotten their feet well soaked in for today’s enduring generation of sci-fi fandom. And so, the clock ticks for filmmaker Rian Johnson’s efforts with Star Wars VIII which remains in production. For now, it’s a new year and this December will bring us the first of a spate of feature-length spin-offs with none other than Godzilla helmer Gareth Edwards spearheading the December 16, 2016 release, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Actress Felicity Jones leads the cast along with Diego Luna for a sets foot in the events before Episode 3 of the Star Wars canon. Per StarWars.com: “Rogue One takes place before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope and will be a departure from the saga films but have elements that are familiar to the Star Wars universe,” […]
Legendary Moves KONG: SKULL ISLAND To Warner Bros. Ahead Of Epic Monster Clash With GODZILLA!
Cinematic universes have become more and more prominent in recent history with all the Marvel and DC fanfare and the currently-brewing monsterverse at Universal with Dracula Untold being a few of the latest. When director Gareth Edwards released Godzilla last year to box office acclaim, of course many might not have predicted the film would go beyond what was already being perpetuated for a sequel. Keep this in mind now with word from THR that Legendary Pictures is now well on the way with moving their latest monster thriller, Kong: Skull Island, over to Warner Bros from Universal Pictures in an attempt to culminate an epic monsterverse that would ultimately pit the king of the monsters against the one and only King Kong! The last time this mash-up happened was in 1962. That said, considering the nostalgic nature of most of today’s film climate along with all sorts of whimsical […]
STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE Circles Forest Whitaker

Godzilla helmer Gareth Edwards is directing the installation which will see its current stars, actress Felicity Jones, Ben Mendelssohn, Riz Ahmed and Diego Luna partake in a story chronologically set after Episode III nearing IV as our heroes plot an effort to steal the Death Star.

In the meantime, fans of the Star Wars saga can catch J.J. Abrams’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens this December as the first of the new movies commence development and production. Stay tuned […]
STAR WARS: REBEL ONE To Possibly Add Sam Clafin And Riz Ahmed
Star Wars fandom continues to take full effect even after the events in Anaheim, especially while there’s plenty of time between now and this December’s eventful release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. That film is expected to begin a new canon beyond the previous six films with several memorable character to join the fresh faces of the galaxy, but equally as important, other faces will be attached to this new universe as well. Specifically speaking, it will be Godzilla helmer Gareth Edwards‘s film, Star Wars: Rebel One that will first bridge the gap between episodes three and four as the first of several anthology films to come, from a story by John Knoll and Gary Whitta with a script by Chris Weitz. Actress Felicity Jones and actor Ben Mendelsohn are set to star in the film which will forsee a tales of resistance fighters plot a mission to steal […]
Lucasfilm 'Loops' Another Director For The STAR WARS Saga!
The latest production of Star Wars VII has already undergone a significant challenge due to the current recovery of principle franchise cast member, actor Harrison Ford since breaking his leg last week on set, leaving him to take two months off from filming. Nonetheless, filming continues with director J.J. Abrams at the helm for the film’s expected December 18, 2015 release date, and with at least two spin-offs on the way, the word is now that Looper helmer Rian Johnson is said to be in talks and will begin working on episode VIII, in addition to episode IX which is still possibly seeking a director. Franchise auteur George Lucas is an acting consultant on the new trilogy moving forward from the first six films with VII directed by none other a cast that joins Ford with Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, […]
The Force Is With Josh Trank To Direct His Own STAR WARS Movie
With the next feature-length Star Wars movie in the works for its December release next year, Lucasfilm and Disney have a multitude of projects they are working on to keep the Star Wars universe alive, and it also includes a few standalone films aside from the on-going canon. Godzilla helmer Gareth Edwards has already signed on to direct his own spinoff film, and now it appears Chronicles helmer Josh Trank is heeding to the call of the force to direct his own as well. Trank is currently busy putting together the latest reboot of Fantastic Four set for June 19, 2015, with a sequel on track for 2017 – no official word on if whether or not Trank will direct. But at any rate, a Star Wars film sounds nice too. Details on just what the new film will entail will arrive eventually, although Variety says the film will include […]
The Force Is With 'Godzilla' Helmer Gareth Edwards To Direct A Star Wars Spin-Off
Following the success of his new blockbuster entry into the summer with Godzilla, director Gareth Edwards has been confirmed to direct a forthcoming Star Wars spin-off film. The news comes just as Edwards, whose own take on the classic Toho property broke opening weekend records at the box-office since its release a week ago. Edwards‘ participation also arrives in time as Lucasfilm and Disney have already begun principal photography for the upcoming seventh installment being helmed by director J.J. Abrams who co-wrote the script with Lawrence Kasdan, who in turn, will also scribe Edwards‘ spin-off with X-Men: Days Of Future Past scribe Simon Kinberg.

GODZILLA Will Return For A Sequel
From L to R: Director Gareth Edwards with actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson on the set of Godzilla (2014). Photo: Warner Bros. Godzilla continues to reign supreme scoring some major high marks with $103M worldwide at the box office and rising, making it the single largest opening weekend of the year. While some may have been, and continue to be doubtful of director Gareth Edwards‘ newest monster thriller reboot, in large part, all positive opinions outweigh any negative critiques that may be out there. Point in fact, our own Darren Bailey screened the film earlier this month and glossed over it in his latest review, callng it “the single greatest creature movie since Jurassic Park.” I saw it in 3D in a late night showing on Friday, and I might see it again. However, if you have not seen it yet, all signs point to it as a must-see, if not merely […]
The Bailey Review: GODZILLA (2014)
SYNOPSIS: An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence. Gareth Edwards directs “Godzilla,” which stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson (“Kick-Ass”), Oscar® nominee Ken Watanabe (“The Last Samurai,” “Inception”), Elizabeth Olsen (“Martha Marcy May Marlene”), Oscar® winner Juliette Binoche (“The English Patient,” “Cosmopolis”), and Sally Hawkins (“Blue Jasmine”), with Oscar® nominee David Strathairn (“Good Night, and Good Luck.,” “The Bourne Legacy”) and Bryan Cranston (“Argo,” TV’s “Breaking Bad”). REVIEW: Godzilla is the single greatest creature movie since Jurassic Park. I said it. I stand by it. Let’s talk about it. From the opening credits of the film, where vintage footage of nuclear bomb “tests” are shown, we are immediately engaged in this world. We see glimpses of Godzilla’s scaly back right from the get-go. The […]
