Star Trek Into Darkness was a somewhat polarizing film when it was released in 2013. It was the sequel to a very refreshing and inventive Star Trek reboot from 2009, so expectations were on an all-time high for the follow up. Unfortunately, director J.J. Abrams and screenwriters Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, steam coupon codes|https://gamedealhq.com/ and Damon Lindelof just delivered the same thing from the reboot, only goofier and with more references to other Star Trek mov
It’s good and quite funny to see J.J. Abrams admit he has a problem when it comes to lens flares. It’s also refreshing to see that he has a sense of humor about it too. But fans will react negatively to The Force Awakens if there are a lot of lens flares throughout its running time. In fact, if you watch any of The Force Awakens marketing materials, such as trailers or TV spots , you can plainly see there will be at least some lens flares featured in the new Star Wars . Hopefully, they’re not too distracting to enjoy The Force Awakens , but you know someone out there is going to count each and every one while watching the mo
“Abrams is aware that “we got in trouble on the second Star Trek film with some of the fans,” and admitted. “There were too many nods to The Wrath of Khan. I’ll cop to that.” (Full disclosure: I, the author, was the gentleman who led the now notorious fan panel at the 2013 Las Vegas convention in which we, the aggrieved dweebs of the Trekkie community, declared that Into Darkness was the worst Star Trek film of all time. Very sorry, J.J.) Whether a proposed third Trek film from the Bad Robot crew will serve as a corrective or not remains to be seen, but he acknowledges that the nerds were indeed hea
Some New Gods fans have lamented that Thanos will likely hit the big screen before Darkseid, which could make Darkseid’s inevitable appearance in a DC movie less impactful. Then again, it’s entirely possible – if DC gets its movie-making act together, that is – that both Thanos and Darkseid could appear in The Avengers 2 and Justice League , respectively, around the same time, as the two tent-pole superhero projects are expected to hit theaters in 2
The very subtitle of Episode VII suggests that the Force has been dormant for some time, and though there are still Force users out there, they’re not as prominent as they once were. Luke may or may not have started a new Jedi Order, but even if he did, the odds that scavengers on Jakku know about it are slim. As for Rey inquiring about the stories about what happened (meaning Episodes IV-VI )? Think of it as a young basketball fan asking an older basketball fan if the things he’s heard about Michael Jordan are true. Nobody’s doubting the Rebels beat the Empire, they just want to know how factual the fantastical tales they heard
When James Cameron’s sci-fi sequel Judgment Day hit theaters in 1991, it did so with a theme song: “You Could Be Mine” by Guns N’ Roses. But that wasn’t always the plan. James Cameron has never admitted he made the film with the band in mind, but there are some obvious clues. Not only is John Connor’s best friend wearing an L.A. Guns t-shirt – one of the two bands which would lead to GNR – but when the Terminator finally arrives to take on the T-1000 in a shopping mall, he reveals his gun hidden in a box of, you guessed it, roses. Arnold Schwarzenegger personally convinced the band to sign on, making sure the movie’s sales pitch was a successful
Despite years of insisting that number three would be the last of the Screams , in the past year, director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson seemingly succumbed to massive paychecks and committed to a fourth. (Or, as those in the business refer to it, a “fourque
Additionally, Stephen Colbert also asked Abrams about his penchant for lens flares. It’s no secret that Abrams is notorious about including (sometimes unnecessarily) a number of big, bright, and distracting lens flares in all of his movies. It’s actually a popular Internet meme anytime Abrams announces a new project. The director is well aware of the number of lens flares he used in the past, but affirms that he reduced the filmmaking flourish for The Force Awakens . From Jordan Hoff
Though Obi-Wan’s ghost already played a role in the original trilogy (embodied by the late, great Sir Alec Guinness), as L-R correctly points out, Hayden Christensen was CGI-surgically implemented into George Lucas’ redux of Return of the Jedi in replacement of original Human-Vader actor, Sebastian Shaw. In that sense, McGregor’s slot in franchise is pretty secure, should the filmmakers choose to go in that direction. After all, for a younger generation of fans, McGregor IS Obi-
