Apparently the man best known for inspiring groovy 60’s and 70’s aesthetics for landmark crime comedies and one sick old school martial arts saga wants to go where no man has gone before, and he’s at Paramount trying to make that happen this week with J.J. Abrams on board to produce. As of Thursday, Deadline has revealed a striking new development that the studio will take the direction of Deadpool, thus agreeing to Tarantino’s terms for an R-rated Star Trek movie. Moreover, The Revenant scribe Mark L. Smith, among those in the room listed including Lindsey Beer (Chaos Walking – 2019), and Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3, upcoming Hotel Artemis), is a possible frontrunner to pen Tarantino’s script after their hours-long meeting. This […]

Abrams’s Bad Robot shingle as of November, and now the official word is that production on a pilot episode is a go. Writer John Wagner and illustrator Arthur Ranson launched the comic book publication with four books as of 1992 with a story centered on Harry Exton, an out-of-work mercenary living in the U.K. who gets drawn into a deadly game of survival where the grand prize can leave you either dead rich, or dead, period.

Right about now you’re on pins and needles if you’ve been pining to see J.J. Abrams’s latest contribution to George Lucas’s legacy, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It’s okay, and very much forgivable seeing as how the film isn’t due for another 35 days or so, with exception to the lucky bastards looking toward screenings just a few days before then; Speaking of, the word is that a terminally ill man and Star Wars superfan by the name of Daniel Fleetwood barely has a month or so to live and with any luck, in addition to endorsements from the cast, Walt Disney Pictures will oblige. Frankly anyone going through that amount of suffering is deserving of an early screening, so kudos to you, Daniel! As for the rest of us, the film opens on December 18, and with the grand reception of the most recent trailer and poster comes a […]

In the last 24 hours, all news on Star Wars got epic. Galactically epic. Franchise father, filmmaker and sci-fi auteur George Lucas’s original six-film canon (1977-2005), paved the way for a lot of potential stories that panned out in the form of books, video games and other TV series that would collectively be known as the “Expanded Universe” or EU. In light of all this, Lucasfilm and Disney officially put the word out on Friday that they have launched a new creative team that will not only oversee all forms of near-limitless storytelling and media moving forward (which will be non-canonical to the current six-film canon), but will preserve the EU as it continues to flourish in the years to come with a variety of expansive Star Wars content. This means more television shows, comic books, games, theme park attractions, spin-off films, and of course, novels, including the newest reveal […]
