If the report is accurate, the addition of three new key female characters could do a lot to assuage the criticisms that were levied against Star Trek Into Darkness for having an overwhelmingly male cast – a situation not helped by the awkward fanservice-y misfire of having Carol Marcus strip down to her underwear and just sort of stand there while Captain Kirk and the camera gawped at
In the world of Star Wars , even an opera or ballet is unrecognizable, shown as a variety of liquid spheres in Revenge of the Sith . It’s during a performance of “Squid Lake” ( really ) that Anakin first learns the power of the Dark Side from Chancellor Palpatine, taking his first step towards becoming Darth Vader. His temptation should have been obvious, too: when Darth Plagueis is first mentioned, the shot cuts to the large sphere of liquid in front of the men. Look closely at the water’s reflections, and you’ll notice a ghostly image of Darth Vader’s famous helmet (look for the eyes first). We give the effects team bonus points for keeping it subtle, but a cool case of foreshadowing all the s
Actor Simon Pegg has been hired to draft a new version of Star Trek 3 ‘s script, but there’s been no news yet about new actors being cast or what the plot might entail, aside from Karl Urban teasing that the concept for the next film is ” phenomenal ” – and Urban is probably a little bia
We at least know when production is set to begin on Star Trek 3 . On Location Vacations reports that the film’s start date is April 15th, 2015, and that things will kick off at Vancouver Film Studios. Previously there have been claims that part of the shoot will take place in Seoul, South Korea, and that may still be true for some of the on-location work. When it comes to studio space, however, it looks like Vancouver won the raf
Film Divider ‘s sources also indicate that the new villain will be a male character and that the studio is looking for a Bryan Cranston-esque actor to play him. In fact, Cranston himself has apparently ” had words ” about taking the role, but what those words were and which direction they took remains a mystery for now. If Cranston does get the role then hopefully he’ll get a bit more screen time than he was given in Godzil
The galaxy far, far, away is getting a lot bigger in the coming years, game story guide|https://movietriviafocus.com/ which means plenty of writers, directors and actors each getting a chance to throw in nods to the original films. But even though the Star Wars saga has been pored over for decades, there are still a TON of details, secrets and easter eggs we’re willing to bet fans have never cau
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
Although most of the film is set on a remote tropical island, Cast Away begins in the heart of Texas, introducing an unknown woman sending a FedEx package. The choice makes sense when the camera follows a FedEx package from there all the way to Russia, where the film’s hero Chuck Noland is introduced. When Chuck finally makes it back to civilization, little of his old life remains, and he decides to start over from scratch – but first, he has to return a package that washed ashore on his desert island along with him. That brings him to the exact same intersection the movie opened on, where Chuck finally encounters the woman who he says saved his life. After considering which direction to head, Chuck turns to the woman’s disappearing truck with a smile, and the film’s final shot gives another look down the deserted road it opened on – plus Ch
William Friedkin’s tale of demonic possession is widely recognized as one of the most terrifying horror movies ever made, and its use of subliminal imagery only makes The Exorcist more unsettling. The demon Pazuzu – nicknamed ‘Captain Howdy’ by Regan – can be seen in a few frames scattered throughout the movie, but its appearances go by so fast that some audience members may never even be aware that they saw them. For those who did manage to spot the pale-faced Pazuzu, the fact that the demon’s horrifying face is only visible for a fraction of a second is far more frightening than a drawn-out close
