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
Over the weekend, J.J. Abrams and Stephen Colbert were featured in a two-hour “celebrity nerd-off” during the Montclair Film Festival at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, New Jersey. While Colbert asked Abrams about the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens , the late night talk show host also touched upon Star Trek Into Darkness . According to Jordan Hoffman from Rolling Stone , Abrams admitted that Star Trek Into Darkness had a number of problems, namely that there were too many homages and references to The Wrath of Khan . Hoffman wri
There are some who might say a movie’s entire message is sent by how it begins, and how it ends. But rarely do directors actually treat their first and final shots with so much importance. Unforgettable views, moments of triumph, or witty dialogue can all make a cut-to-black and end credits seem perfectly timed, but some directors go the extra mile, crafting a start and finish that add an extra level of storytelling for viewers paying close attent
Accompanying the news of Star Trek 3 ‘s filming start date is a report from Film Divider that claims to offer new information about the new characters that will be introduced in Lin’s film. The plan, Film Divider claims, is to introduce three major new female characters: the captain of a Federation ship, the President of the United Federation of Planets, and Bones’ ex-wife. The latter could be Jocelyn Treadway, Pamela Branch, or a new character entir
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
The juxtaposition is especially creepy – since the pictures are from a happy Hawaiian-themed party that took place before the unfortunate events leading to the floundering of Icarus I. Searle encounters the full group photo (from which each flash is taken) later on in the film. Boyle has not discussed the hidden frames officially but the flashes definitely work as a subliminal way of setting audience members on edge – without outright revealing the fate of the Icarus I c
“There’s a directorial flourish and then there’s self-parody — and Abrams promises he’s easing up on his signature stylistic tic of shining lights directly into anamorphic lenses to create flares. He could explain it away in the Star Trek films (“the future is so bright!”) but admits he has no excuse for Super 8. He recalled how one shot in Star Trek Into Darkness was so overrun by lens flare his wife shouted that she couldn’t see Alice Eve. He made an effort to tone it down for The Force Awakens, and when he spotted his lighting crew bringing large spotlights onto the set he would joke “these aren’t the flares you’re looking f
Though most of its action may be focused on a single cathedral, that doesn’t stop The Hunchback of Notre Dame from squeezing in some Disney cameos, with the opening scene alone featuring a vendor selling Aladdin’s magic carpet, and Game walkthrough|https://movietriviafocus.com/ Beauty and the Beast’s Belle out for a morning stroll. The Lion King ‘s resident jokester Pumbaa may seem an odd fit for Paris, France, but his cameo in the film’s climax is even better: proudly standing guard as a stone gargo
Max von Sydow’s character, as noted by /Film in its report, is a prime suspect for the spinoff’s protagonist, given the actor’s age; whoever he’s playing in Force Awakens would be a younger and more active man, around the time of A New Hope (i.e. when the Death Star’s plans were stolen). Alternatively, the Force Awakens rumored storyline indicates that Sydow could be playing an older “Jedi Hunter” – the rumored Force Awakens villains whose ranks, at one point, included Rebels antagonist The Inquisitor – so if his character does show up in Edwards’ spinoff, he may or may not be the protagon
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
While some directors might shy away from fan criticism, J.J. Abrams seems to embrace and accept it. He is fully aware of the fan reaction to Star Trek Into Darkness and his movies overall. He even tries to make up for his misgivings with his next film, but he’s not above admitting that he miscalculated what he thinks fans w
