Han Solo – Smuggler. Scoundrel. Hero. A New Star Wars Story Begins.
The adventure-filled past of the iconic scoundrel and everyone’s favorite Wookiee is going before cameras this month when principal photography on the untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story officially began February 20th at Pinewood Studios, London.
The movie will explore the duo’s adventures before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, including their early encounters with that other card-playing rogue from a galaxy far, far away, Lando Calrissian.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are directors co-piloting the movie, with a cast that includes Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, Thandie Newton, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, with Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca.
“Watching such inspired people from all over the world, with such unique voices, come together for the sole purpose of making art, is nothing short of miraculous,” Lord and Miller said.

We get a better loook at Luke's careworn face as Rey offers up his old lightsaber... and cut. What could that ambiguous, pained expression on Skywalker's face mean?

After recently clearing $2 billion at the global box-office, it’s safe to say Star Wars: The Force Awakens exceeded expectations on the financial side and we even had quite a bit of fun with it. Ahead of a December 2017 release, it’s now time for Rian Johnson to kick off production on Star Wars: Episode VIII and with the news that filming has begun, we have the first brief teaser and some more casting announcements.
Benicio Del Toro, who has long been rumored to play an antagonist, has been confirmed to take part, while the great Laura Dern has joined alongside newcomer Kelly Marie Tran. Check out the press release below, along with a teaser that shows off the return of Luke Skywalker.

Director Joss Whedon brought us onto the set of his Avengers follow-up, giving Cineplex an exclusive sneak peek at the superhero shenanigans that’ll be hitting theatres in May with Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) was also on hand as our designated Avengers escort.
Yes, it was as awesome as it sounds.
We’ll have part three out for you soon! Keep your eyes open for more Ultron goodness.
Prop master Barry Gibbs – not associated with the Bee Gees – also walked us through the props department, giving us an exclusive look at the Avengers’ weapons, including Captain America’s (Chris Evans) shield and Thor’s (Chris Hemsworth) Mjölnir. It might not be a real “hammer of the gods,” but the Mjölnir prop still looks very, very heavy.
Avengers: Age of Ultron also stars Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and Mark Ruffalo. It will finally – finally! – hit theatres on...

The producers of the upcoming “Kickboxer” remake starring Jean-Claude Van Damme still haven’t paid more than 150 crew members, vendors and extras based in Louisiana despite weeks of promising to do so, individuals close to the production told TheWrap.
John Stockwell is directing the “Kickboxer” remake, which costars Gina Carano and is being produced by Ted Field of Radar Pictures as well as Dimitri Logothetis and Nick Celozzi. Filming in New Orleans wrapped on Dec. 13, the production office closed, and the filmmakers subsequently moved on to the Thailand portion of the shoot.

Visiting the set of Guardians of the Galaxy as part of a press event last Fall, I got to see some extraordinary things, from beautiful concept art mapping out the progression of the movie to Ronan's fully constructed throne on the Dark Aster (not to mention that we got to interview Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista and Karen Gillan in their full costumes). Touring through all the various departments, however, perhaps my favorite of all was the Props Department, where Prop Master Barry Gibbs (not to be confused with Bee Gees singer Barry Gibb) gave us a close up look at all the little gadgets, devices and weapons used by the characters in the film. Now, thanks to the featurette you see above, my experience has now been delivered in video form. With Guardians of the Galaxy having finished its second weekend with an astonishingly small 56% drop from its...

Matthew Vaughn has become something of a go-to filmmaker for quality comic book movies, having worked on the well-received X-Men: First Class and the adaptation of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr's offbeat superhero adventure Kick-Ass.
Now he's back with Kingsman: The Secret Service, based on a concept he and Millar hatched together. Millar and Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons have already published the story as a comic book, and now Vaughn is working on the film version, which is less an adaptation than his own imagining of the original idea.
Vaughn has attracted a top cast, including Colin Firth and Mark Strong (who appeared together in a very different take on the spy genre, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) as well as Samuel L Jackson, Michael Caine and newcomer Taron Egerton.
The film centres around council estate kid Eggsy (Egerton), a young tearaway bailed out of jail by his late father's...
