INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY: Ford Whips Up The Sixties In The First Teaser Trailer!
It’ll be one last hoorah for at least one relic of the Golden Age of Hollywood with actor Harrison Ford closing the book on the title character for the long-celebrated Indiana Jones franchise. For this, we turn to Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny, from Logan and 3:10 To Yuma helmer James Mangold this time around, and with none other than John Rhys-Davies reprising his role from the 1981 and 1989 installments. Both now appear in the first official trailer below with Ford clearly very much in his element, whip and all. The story is set in the 1960s during the Space Race with a cast that also lists Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davies, Shaunette Renee Wilson, Thomas Kretschmann, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Oliver Richters, Ethann Isidore and Mads Mikkelsen, and with John Williams bookending the saga with his newest score. The film opens June 30, 2023!
STAR WARS IX Sees Leia Returning, Announces Cast And Production Start Date
Actress Carrie Fisher’s untimely passing on December 27, 2016 was going to be an inevitable challenge if Disney had planned on reviving the role of General Leia Organa. To say the least, it’s a challenge the studio is officially ready to meet as they’ve announced the cast for the tentatively untitled ninth chapter of the Star Wars saga following The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Best of all is the return of actress Kelly Marie Tran who took a string of abuse from the terrible, horrible, no good ends of the SW fan community – so much that she deleted her Instagram back in June. I’ll say this, guys: Let’s be better from here on. Thanks in advance. STAR WARS: EPISODE IX CAST ANNOUNCED RETURNING AND NEW CAST MEMBERS WILL JOIN TOGETHER FOR THE FINAL INSTALLMENT OF THE SKYWALKER SAGA. Star Wars: Episode IX will begin filming at London’s […]
OPINION: Star Wars Stories Are On Hold, And That’s AWESOME!
Yesterday, Lucasfilm dropped a real bombshell; Star Wars Stories, the movies released between numbered Star Wars films, will be put on hold for the foreseeable future. The angry, racist, manbaby Star Wars “fans” have no doubt pounded their chests and claimed a victory against the tyranny of Kathleen Kennedy and her Disney overlords but nothing could be further from the truth. As an evil, SJW, Commie bastard who loved The Last Jedi, I think this is the best thing that could have happened. Now Lucasfilm can step back and ask itself a very important question: what the hell are Star Wars Stories even supposed to be? Despite being one of the biggest franchises since the dawn of cinema, Star Wars is in an unenviable position. In many ways, it’s become too big to fail; an institution able to coast on its name but beholdened to the expectations of its own […]
Rian Johnson To Create New STAR WARS Trilogy; Will Write And Direct Tenth Film
Disney is feeling the Force with filmmaker Rian Johnson, and with The Force Awakens helmer J.J. Abrams back at the helm for the ninth installment of Star Wars which is currently slated for 2019. Just over a month from the release of Johnson’s own contribution with Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the official Star Wars website is hailing fans with news of Johnson’s involvement on the creation of a brand new trilogy. The Looper helmer will write and direct the forthcoming tenth installment to boot with longtime collaborator Ram Bergman onboard to produce. Further cast and crew details are still pending while The Last Jedi still has Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver, and stalwarts Mark Hamill and the late and lovely Carrie Fisher shepherding Disney’s latest volume of the longstanding space opera centered on interplanetary politics and conflict, and epic battles between the forces of good […]
STAR WARS IX Lands J.J. Abrams To Direct
Lucasfilm There’s been much ado with who would helm the third installment of the newest Star Wars canon but it now appears that J.J. Abrams is the man who will take the chair to direct. Abrams shepherded the 2015 holiday hit, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac starring, grossing more than $2 billion dollars among its accolades. STAR WARS: EPISODE IXTHE ACCLAIMED FILMMAKER WILL RETURN TO HELM THE FINAL FILM IN THE SEQUEL TRILOGY. J.J. Abrams, who launched a new era of Star Wars with The Force Awakens in 2015, is returning to complete the sequel trilogy as writer and director of Star Wars: Episode IX. Abrams will co-write the film with Chris Terrio. Star Wars: Episode IX will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Abrams, Bad Robot, and Lucasfilm. “With The Force Awakens, J.J. delivered everything we could have possibly hoped […]
Disney/Lucasfilm Confirm Obi-Wan Kenobi Spin-Off, Stephen Daldry In Talks To Direct
It’s been a thing of internet rumor soup for some time now, but all centering on a spin-off for Star Wars mainstay, Obi-Wan Kenobi now appears to be taking shape at long last. Of course, it comes at a pretty hefty time for fans of the Disney/Lucasfilm library who may be somewhat weary of what to expect with the current handling of the new Han Solo standalone film now being overseen by Ron Howard as of June. They’re not wrong and concern is a good thing at this juncture. Thus, one hopes the process for this latest move will go smoother for Oscar-nominated Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliott, The Hours) who is reportedly in early talks to direct the movie. A script still needs writing and roles still need casting while it is not yet clear if actor Ewan McGregor will succeed his portryal of the character as seen in the […]
Lucasfilm Casts Donald Glover As Lando Calrissian For The Han Solo Spin-Off
The Star Wars saga continues this December spinning off with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, before seuging into the eighth official canon installment one year thereafter. In the meantime, Lucasfilm’s other spin-off prospects are advancing through an earlier telling of actor Harrison Ford’s portrayal of intergalactic smuggler Han Solo. The studio has already cast actor Alden Ehrenreich for the role ahead of the film’s release in the next few years. Much more news is in store but today’s latest update comes straight from the auspices of the studio now announcing actor Donald Glover for the role of Lando Calrissian, once held by actor Billy Dee Williams in the first trilogy through episodes five and six. Glover first joins lead actor Tom Holland on July 7, 2017 for John Watt’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. Read on: Lucasfilm announced today that Donald Glover, an acclaimed actor, award-winning writer, and Grammy-nominated artist, will be […]
Disney: STAR WARS VIII Has Commenced Filming
Courtesy of Disney Director Rian Johnson is officially underway with production for Star Wars VIII according to a new report from EW. “There is no better way to propel this franchise into the future than producing quality products,” said Disney CEO Bob Iger. “Filming of Star Wars: Episode VIII, the next chapter of the legendary saga, has just commenced and it will be in theaters December 2017. And production of Episode IX, a 2019 release, has also begun.” J.J. Abrams directed Star Wars: The Force Awakens which released two months ago to the tune of well over $2 billion dollars globally. If you’ve at all contributed to that sum then you already may know who probably is and/or isn’t returning the cast apart from the return of leading pair of actor John Boyega and actress Daisy Ridley among others. Plans are also in motion for a third with Jurassic World […]
STAR WARS VIII Gets A New Release Date
Lucasfilm/Disney Director Rian Johnson has a huge task on his hands…about $1.8+ billion dollars worth. That’s the figure reportedly earned by J.J. Abrams for his latest, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which pretty much broke almost every record you can probably imagine after opening last month in the U.K. and U.S.. Success notwithstanding, the film did stir the pot with fans in its delivery, speculating over who Daisy Ridley’s Rey really is and such, and the nature of Kylo Ren’s past with respect to the cast along with talk of a delay in production in recent memory. These are all fun questions and convos to have and share and there’s no doubt it’ll get silly as well. That all said, there’s at least one other guarantee, and it’s the film’s pushback from May 26, 2017 to its new stamp for December 15, 2017. Details are pending but it’s expected that […]
The New STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Trailer Is Here. You're Welcome.
There’s no question about it. J.J. Abrams’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens is probably going to break the box office as much as it already broke the internet on Monday. I have no doubts here in any regard though I can imagine Disney and Lucasfilm are just eagerly waiting to start counting the money. For now, we’re counting views and tonight will probably be a huge night for sci-fi nerds only just discovering Monday Night Football upon the release of the new trailer, doing some sure ratings justice for ESPN. Speaking of, you can now check it out below following yesterday’s poster reveal, and purchase your Star Wars marathon and single tickets where and when available. Oh, and enjoy the rest of the game if you haven’t already DVR’d it.

We got our first glimpse at what this installation into the saga may entail in the first teaser back in November last year and it definitely got some conversations going as much of […]

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.

#MayThe4thBeWithYou For The New Trailer For STAR WARS REBELS
So how did you celebrate Star Wars Day? Me? I was at work all day. But that didn’t divert my attention from the latest trailers going viral for the forthcoming special and series premiere of Star Wars Rebels. Indeed, the Spring season has been a watershed moment for Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Company who woke the fan base up with major announcements last month regarding the Star Wars Expanded Universe stories in conjugation with franchise auteur George Lucas’s six-film canon, in addition to a major pre-emptive casting announcement in the days and weeks leading up to principal photography in London for Star Wars VII, with co-writer and director J.J.
