“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
Star Wars: Rogue One will be a war story about how the Rebel Alliance stole the first Death Star’s plans, while a Boba Fett movie would (presumably) examine the crime underworld of the Star Wars universe – meaning, an Obi-Wan spinoff could stand well apart from the other planned or rumored Anthology films (and help to insure that each one feels unique and explores different genr
Backstory: While on their mission to the Sun, the Icarus II crew receives a distress signal from the long-missing Icarus I and decides to rendezvous with the ship. When Capa (Cillian Murphy), Searle (Cliff Curtis), Harvey (Troy Garity), and Mace (Chris Evans) board the Icarus I, their flashlights periodically shine directly into the camera (and out at the audience). At each instance, roughly 49 minutes into the film, director Danny Boyle spliced in hidden frames of (now deceased) Icarus I crew memb

Before anyone starts panicking about what movies might secretly be doing to their brains, here’s the twist: no one has ever been able to reproduce the original study’s effects, with the researcher later admitting he actually fabricated the entire study. So rest easy: there’s still no evidence subliminal advertising really works. Seen any subliminal messages in movies that we missed?

A young Han Solo movie is also rumored to be one of the developing Star Wars spinoffs, possibly the one that Chronicle director Josh Trank is working on; if so, that would help to explain why Han isn’t going to appear in Edwards’ spinoff, should this rumor pan out. It’s canon that Han won the Falcon from Lando Calrissian in a game (see their conversation in The Empire Strikes Back ) – so if we do see the ship in its days before Han owned it, that could mean an appearance by a young Lando is in order (either buying the Falcon or already being its own
Did you know that Cloverfield contains a King Kong cameo? Matt Reeves’ found footage monster movie is well known for its shaky, stuttering handheld camcorder, and in between cuts and flickers the director inserted single frames from classic monster movies like King Kong , The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Them! Whether they were put there to disturb the audience without them realising it, or just as an homage to the kind of movies that inspired Cloverfield , these flashes are a fun subliminal secret that can only be seen if you slow the scenes d
It doesn’t usually pay to look below the surface of a Movie Hidden Details|Https://Movietriviafocus.Com/ based on grown men getting hit in the face with inflatable balls, but this is one exception. When the team at Average Joe’s Gym goes up against the cocky, well-funded, testosterone-fuelled Purple Cobras, it’s a battle of David vs Goliath. But viewers might not realize that seeing the “Joes” vs. “Cobra” is one big nod to G.I. Joe and their greatest enemies. With that in mind, audiences should have realized that the Joes would always come out on
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time rumors about an Obi-Wan spinoff have popped up online. Rumors that the character would appear as a Force Ghost in Force Awakens (then known as Episode VII ) began to circulate back in Summer 2013, along with a report that asserted McGregor was pushing for Obi-Wan to get his own standalone feature. Then, in 2014, a separate (but related) story emerged, claiming that Lucasfilm has been actively developing an Obi-Wan movie for McGregor to headl
Backstory: When Simba flops down on a cliffside, a cloud of dust is pushed out into the air – where, for a brief second, a series of three controversial letters appear. For years, the frame was scrutinized as a subliminal message ( SEX ) intended to promote sexuality to children. However, the film’s animators have since claimed that the letters were intended to spell SFX – a nod to the Lion King ‘s special effects departm
