Capt. Janeway in 'Star Trek' Sequel?
3 November 2009 10:20 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
She hasn’t even seen the new Star Trek film yet, but Kate Mulgrew, who played Captain Kathryn Janeway in the Star Trek: Voyager TV series, already wants in on the rebooted franchise.
Mulgrew's Captain Janeway also had a cameo in the 2002 movie Star Trek: Nemesis. When asked if she would consider a role in the rebooted Trek film series by J.J. Abrams, she responded, "I would, I'd love to return to Janeway. I'd love to do her in a movie."
Writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are currently developing a storyline for the Trek sequel, and in a separate interview, Abrams said any worry about bringing back established characters was negated by the first film’s success. In this summer’s Star Trek, Leonard Nimoy, who originated the Spock role, played an older, time-traveling version of himself.
According to Coventry Telegraph, Mulgrew admitted she has yet to watch Abrams' movie, »
Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy Hit the ‘Fury Road’
2 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
These days it’s hard to go a week without hearing about some remake/reboot coming out of Hollywood. Few of these films can claim they’ve been in the rumor mill for as long as Mad Max: Fury Road. After two decades, however, actual development is occurring on the next installment of the Mad Max franchise.
Variety is reporting that Charlize Theron (The Italian Job, Hancock) and Tom Hardy (Black Hawk Down, Star Trek: Nemesis, Bronson) have both been cast in Fury Road. Now, as interesting as that casting is everyone is still anxiously waiting to find out if Mel Gibson will reprise his role as Mad Max. When Director George Miller was asked about this he was vague to say the least, “It could be Mel, it could be anyone.”
Whether Gibson is involved or not I’m left wondering if this particular film needs a sequel »

Meet the New Mad Max
1 November 2009 5:02 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
As previously rumoured, the British actor Tom Hardy has been cast as "Mad" Max Rockatansky in the upcoming fourth Mad Max film, tentatively named Mad Max 4: Fury Road. Most people had expected the role to go to the rising star Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation, Avatar), seing as he is Australian, the movie is about an Australian, and word on the street was that series creator George Miller was looking to cast an Australian for the role. Well, evidently the word on the street was wrong. So who is this Hardy fella? He hasn't done all that much, but most notably he had a major role in Layer Cake from 2004, portrayed Charles Bronson in Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn's Bronson from 2008 and had the role of Praetor Shinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis back in 2002. What the new movie will be about is still unknown, but the film will »

Mad Max: Fury Road edges closer to starting line
30 October 2009 7:51 AM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
After almost 15 years of development within development hell, George Miller's fourth Mad Max film is starting to inch further ahead than where it's been before. Mad Max: Fury Road now has two cast members and neither of the two are original Max star Mel Gibson.
The names now attached to the film are Charlize Theron (Hancock, The Road) and Tom Hardy (Star Trek: Nemesis, RocknRolla). The identity of both actors' characters have not been revealed, supposedly even to the players themselves.
Miller is keeping the door open for Gibson to return to the part that launched his film career in 1979, that of the road warrior Max. However, the director states that the role of Max in Fury Road could be played by either Gibson or another actor. While Hardy could be playing Max as a younger incarnation (and thus Fury Road could be considered a prequel or even »

Mad Max: The Beginning of the End…
26 October 2009 10:48 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
It worked for one seemingly flagging sci-fi franchise, why not another? Apparently, George Miller is taking a page from J.J. Abram’s revisionist book in hopes of rebooting the Aussie action saga he created with his Mad Max trilogy, soon to become a quartet. It remains to be seen whether this latest “mad” installment will be prequel or sequel, but it is clear that while Miller intends to revive his old film cycle he has no intentions of doing the same for the career of Mr. Mel Gibson who helped make it a success in the first place. Reports vary slightly on who will play Mad Max in the upcoming film, but they all confirm that it won’t be Mel, who originated the role. Internet buzz has tipped native Australian Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation; Avatar) for the role, but more recent intel suggests that the part of Max might go to Tom Hardy, »

Mad Max 4 in the Works (Though Probably Without Mel Gibson)
25 October 2009 4:33 PM, PDT | thetorchonline | See recent thetorchonline news »
George Miller, the writer and director of the three Mad Max movies, announced in a press conference in Australia last week that a fourth movie in that series, Fury Road, will begin production in that country next year. Miller is currently casting the movie, but since Mel Gibson, who starred in the first three movies, is not attached to the project, it seems unlikely that he will be. "It could be Mel, it could be anyone," Miller said when discussing casting for the film. "In fact, I'm looking around at these faces to see if anyone's quite interesting." Actors in consideration for lead roles reportedly include Tom Hardy, who played Picard's clone in Star Trek: Nemesis, and Charlize Theron, possibly as a female Max. "I'm still in the middle of casting," Miller said. »
Mad Max 4 with Charlize Theron? Tom Hardy? Wtf?

See, this is why I don’t think they should even bother making another “Mad Max” movie without Mel Gibson. It just ain’t gonna turn out so good. Sure, like every warm-blooded American male, I wouldn’t mind seeing Charlize Theron in skin-tight black leather running around the wasteland fighting guys in hockey masks and stealing gasoline by using a combination of supermodel good looks and secretive ass-kicking skills, but let’s face it, who wants a “Mad Max” movie without, you know, Mad Max? Anyways, here’s your latest update on George Miller’s continued attempt to get a fourth movie in the franchise made. This little news comes, of all places, E! Online, the hub for all things celebrity insipidness and shitty TV glorification. The word is that Charlize Theron is on top of director George Miller’s wish list to play the female lead in his fourth “Mad Max” movie, »

And the Next 'Star Trek' Movie Villain Is...
18 October 2009 9:05 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Everybody's asking the question: "Who's going to serve as the villain or villains in the sequel to last summer's Star Trek?" Now that we're in an alternate Trek timeline, writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are free to tell stories that incorporate familiar faces but combine them in new and interesting ways.
Which got us thinking: who's likely to make the short list, and what sort of possible stories/combinations might we see? Will the filmmakers choose to go the route of borrowing once more from canon...or will they elect to craft an entirely new story with entirely new antagonists?
Since new antagonists are impossible to predict, we decided to look to the original canon and have offered a list of possible villains from which Orci and Kurtzman could choose. We've divided the categories up into four groups:
The Heavy Hitters
The Middleweight Contenders
The Individual Narcissists

'Star Trek,' 'Wolverine' Close
4 October 2009 10:18 AM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
The summer's first two big movies, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Star Trek, officially ended their runs on Thursday, Oct. 1. That is to say, their distributors will no longer track them even though they might continue at a few theaters (Star Trek in particular).
Star Trek closed with a $257.7 million tally for its 147-day run, including $28.1 million from its IMAX run (which will continue at a trickle). The reboot of the venerable sci-fi franchise, which had a marketing campaign that slickly married the culturally iconic Trek with the promise of an epic, visceral adventure, ranks as the fifth-highest grossing picture of 2009 thus far.
More importantly, Star Trek stands as the highest-grossing Trek yet, soaring past Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home ($109.7 million), and is a franchise best in terms of estimated total attendance, edging out the first Star Trek movie from 1979. This feat was made all the more impressive by its »

Ridley Scott To Direct Vampire Film?
17 September 2009 9:49 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Variety is reporting that Star Trek: Nemesis screenwriter John Logan has been brought on-board to write an adaptation of The Passage, a nearly 1200 page vampire novel written by Jordan Ainsley (the pseudonym of Justin Cronin). Fox 2000 are developing the vampire film for Ridley Scott to possibly direct, which would see him and Logan work together for the first time since 2000’s Gladiator.
Two years ago Fox 2000 paid an undisclosed seven figure sum for the rights to The Passage, the first in a a three-series book about the unleashing of bloodthirsty vampires. The rights were sold based on the first 400 pages of book, along with an outline, but the film adaptation has waited while the rest of the book was being completed. From Variety, here is the synopsis of The Passage novel:

Writer sinks his teeth into The Passage
16 September 2009 8:04 AM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
One of the many possible directing and/or producing projects that director Ridley Scott has in creative orbit around him is The Passage, a horror tale that puts a different spin on the vampire mythos. It's taken Fox 2000 two years to get from purchasing the screen rights to Jordan Ainsley's book (the pseudonym of Justin Cronin) of the same name to hiring a screenwriter to start adapting the book into screenplay format but it's finally happened.
The man who was hired for the job is screenwriter John Logan. He's worked with Scott before on Gladiator, for which Scott was nominated for an Oscar for Best Directing and the picture won both Best Actor (Russell Crowe) and Best Picture honors. Logan's one of Hollywood's A-list writers and has a very impressive resume of past work including credits on Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday, Martin Scorsese's The Aviator and Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd. »

Exclusive Bronson Images: Mike Tyson Isn't The Only Ear-Biter
15 September 2009 12:04 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Bronson is based on the real-life story of a violent London criminal who spent almost his entire life in solitary confinement. During this time, his own personality is supplanted by his alter ego, Charles Bronson. He.s played by Tom Hardy who is almost unrecognizable beneath Bronson.s handle bar mustache and mountainous muscles as the kid who played Captain Picard.s clone in Star Trek: Nemesis. We have four, brand new, exclusive images from the film below. All featuring the aforementioned violent criminal and sometimes bare knuckle boxer. My favorite image is the first, in which Bronson seems to be flexing his muscles before enjoying a proper cup of tea. Gotta love the British. Click on each image below to see it larger in our Bronson image gallery and watch for the movie in theaters October 9. »
Patrick Stewart set to return in X-Men but not in Star Trek
8 September 2009 6:31 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Among the planned projects in 20th Century Fox's X-Men series are the prequels X-Men: First Class - looking at the early years of Professor Charles Xavier's school for mutants - and X-Men Origins: Magneto - telling the backstory of the professor's former friend before he became an embittered archvillain.
Xavier was played by Patrick Stewart in the previous trilogy and in a cameo at the end of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
And the actor has given the strongest hint yet that he is set to feature in either or both of these two prequels, as well as addressing any possibility of his return to the revived Star Trek franchise.
Speaking at the Atlanta sci-fi and pop culture convention Dragon*Con he said that, from what he had heard, audiences "had not seen the last of Xavier."
Xavier has a lead role in the First Class storyline and will also appear in the Magneto prequel. »

No Future In Trek For Jean-Luc Picard
8 September 2009 5:51 AM, PDT | AirlockAlpha.com | See recent Airlock Alpha news »
Has the Star Trek franchise seen the last of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard? In his recent appearance at DragonCon in Atlanta, actor Patrick Stewart reflected on his past at the helm of the USS Enterprise, and spoke candidly about the future of his other iconic role, X-Men.s Professor Charles Xavier. Although Stewart was impressed with this summer's "Star Trek" reboot, he doubts that Picard will be part of the franchise, but a cameo in a sequel is still a possibility. And while the 11th film was supposed to be a wrap-up of the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" crew, fans instead may have to say good-bye to the bald-headed Frenchman and his crew in 2002's "Star Trek: Nemesis," which didn't exactly wow audiences when it was released. "I feel that I have left behind a legacy as Picard," ... »
AlphaBits: 'Bioshock' Captures Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
25 August 2009 11:32 AM, PDT | AirlockAlpha.com | See recent Airlock Alpha news »
Moving the filming of "Bioshock" overseas might have cost the movie version of the popular console game a big-name director, but it's still moving forward with yet another veteran at the helm. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo will take over "Bioshock" from Gore Verbinski, the Pirates of the Caribbean developer who was once committed to doing the $160 million film, but dropped out when helming a film somewhere other than the United States possibly could've interfered in other projects he's working on. The development of a "Bioshock" movie has been going on for 15 months now since Take Two and Universal Studios said they would explore a film written by "Star Trek: Nemesis" scribe John Logan. Verbinski, however, will continue on as a producer. Fresnadillo is best known for directing "28 Weeks ... »
'Bronson' Gets A Newer, Longer Domestic Trailer
20 August 2009 11:30 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Are you a fan of violence? Extreme violence? Over-the-top violence? If your answer to all of those questions is "yes" and you haven't heard about the movie "Bronson," directed by Nicholas Winding Refn. If you answered "yes" to all three and you have heard of "Bronson"... you should keep reading anyway.
For the uninitiated, "Bronson" is the based-on-a-true-story tale of Charles Bronson, a UK criminal who has been dubbed "the most violent prisoner in Britain." He first went to prison in 1974 on a seven year term, though that stay has been continually extended for his dangerously erratic behavior behind bars. Many of his more than 30 years of incarceration have been spent in solitary confinement, though not in one place: Bronson has done time in more than 120 government rehabilitation facilities. And there's a movie about this nutball.
A movie with a shiny, new trailer for all to enjoy. It's rather light on the violence, »

‘G.I. Joe’ Director Fired In An Attempt To Save The Franchise?
11 June 2009 9:34 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
This news may or may not be a surprise for those of you following the ups and downs of this summer's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra movie... According to Latino Review's El Guapo, G.I. Joe director Stephen Sommers has been fired during post production and possibly barred from the editing room. Paramount has apparently brought in Stuart Baird to try and "fix" the film after advance screenings resulted in either shitty or great scores from audiences. (I say 'either' because the official source for the story claims the scores were the worst in Paramount's history while El Guapo himself claims otherwise.) Baird's editing skills are well known and on display in such films as Casino Royale, Vantage Point, and Lethal Weapon. He's also dabbled in directing a few times (Executive Decision, Star Trek: Nemesis). The gist of the story seems to be that neither Sommers nor producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura had any knowledge of »

Box Office Guru Wrapup: Star Trek Soars To $76M Opening
10 May 2009 8:19 AM, PDT | Rotten Tomatoes | See recent Rotten Tomatoes news »
This weekend a classic franchise was reborn as North American moviegoers came out in strong numbers for the new Star Trek which grossed an estimated $76.5M over its extended three-and-a-half-day debut. The impressive figure consists of roughly $4M from early showtimes that began at 7pm on Thursday evening and $72.5M across the standard Friday-to-Sunday period. The $125M Paramount production was a gamble that paid off as the franchise was left for dead after the last installment, 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis, grossed a dismal $43.1M striking out with fans worldwide. The new Trek averaged a solid $18,836 over the three-day period... »
