Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says the studio is too busy for a female-led superhero film right now. Ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy‘s massive opening weekend, Comic Book Resources asked how far away Marvel was from a movie with a female lead. “I think it comes down to timing, which is what I’ve sort of […]

By Simon Miraudo May 6, 2013 There’s a lot to like about Star Trek Into Darkness – J.J. Abrams‘ second foray into the cosmos aboard the once-rickety USS Enterprise – and even quite a bit to love. At times, it’s got swagger that rivals Captain James Tiberius Kirk’s own. Elsewhere, however, the screenplay’s cold Vulcan […]

Avatar producer Jon Landau spoke at the 2013 NAB Technology Summit on Cinema to remind people that a sequel to Avatar is indeed in the works, with claims it will revolutionise cinema just as the first one did in 2009.

The teaser trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness has landed, promising a sequel that has much more in common with The Wrath of Khan than we expected. Though the one-minute clip features lots of money shots and little plot, we are treated to a threatening monologue from Benedict Cumberbatch’s mysterious villain. Also, glimpses of […]

The official synopsis for J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek sequel has been spotted by The Film Stage over on Paramount’s official press site.

The Words – Starring Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, and Jeremy Irons. Directed by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Literary soapie The Words is mutton dressed as bespectacled lamb. Just because it looks like smarthouse fare doesn’t mean it is, and the proof is entirely in the plodding pudding. It’s the […]

Bradley Cooper rips off Jeremy Irons in the new trailer for The Words. Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal’s new film stars Cooper as a struggling author (again!), who steals a story from a mysterious older gentleman (Irons), and pays a great price for his unearned success. The trailer is fairly compelling, until the thrilling elements disappear and make […]

Bradley Cooper is used to playing the sporty spunk in films like The Hangover. He’s also rather efficient at being a spunk in real life (he often makes ‘sexiest men alive’ lists, always has a slew of impressive girls at his side, and can apparently speak fluent French!). What Cooper’s probably not so used to […]
