This week, the guys at SchmoesKnow.com have an unnamed source that says Star Wars: The Force Awakens might feature a after credit scene involving Rouge One: A Star Wars Story. Since Lucasfilms is under Disney, it seems this story might be true. Given that Marvel (also under Disney) is well known for after credit scenes, it would be highly likely that they’d want to continue that trend for the Star Wars franchise. However, since Rouge One is to be set prior to Star Wars: A New Hope, this post credit scene can be viewed as confusing. With less than…

M. Night Shyamalan is well known for having a track record that has been on a steady decline for some time. He started to lose his artistic sight at the tail end of Signs, more so with The Village and crash landed with The Happening, The Last Airbender and After Earth. So he decided to take a step back and try his hand at the still lively found-footage genre on a low budget scale with minimal studio influence. I used to champion Shyamalan’s work years ago and would sometimes make excuse for his short comings. But as I grew older…

Today, a promo clip for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released on the official Star Wars Instagram…and it is beautiful. The tone is dread for our heroes Daisy Ridley’s Rey and John Boyega’s Finn as the scale of the Empire’s army is shown. Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren pops in with the reveal of his lightsaber in the snowy dark woods like we’ve seen in the trailers, only this time, Finn seems to be waiting for Ren. Lightsaber unsheathe and ready for battle. All while the Empire’s haunting tune plays in the background. Check it out and mark another day off…

Another bit of news drop courtesy of /Film gives us the announcement that Jurassic World’s director Colin Trevorrow next film will be the ninth installment in the Star Wars Saga. Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn announced that Star Wars: Episode IX is set to release in 2019. This will conclude the third trilogy of Star Wars films that begins with The Force Awakens set to release on December 18, 2015. Trevorrow, wasting no time, is on his way to Lucasfilm this year to being planning stages of the film before production begins. What do you guys think? Be sure…

Behold! Disney has dropped the poster for The Force Awakens and it is beautiful. Using the same icon painting method, the poster reveals more about the lead characters, along with a certain veteran, and how important their roles may be. Released at this year’s D23 Expo, the poster was created by artist Drew Struzan who has given us the same style as other Star Wars films and Indian Jones. Check it out below: What do you guys think?

The Gift. Holy sh*t. In the sea of summer films, this one has gone completely under the radar. You might have seen an ad here or there with the tagline “What’s in the box”?  That line has never been more intense since David Fincher’s Seven. I will try my hardest not to spoil the movie for you because it’s a film that should be spoiled as little as possible. Simple premise, happily married couple, Simon (Bateman) and Robyn (Hall) bump into Gordo (Edgerton), an old school buddy from Simon’s past. Secrets are revealed and lives are changed. Are you still…

So here we are. The summer is still going and that means we have ourselves another superhero comic book film. Only this Fantastic Four is the third attempt 20th Century Fox has launched this comic book team into a franchise. Third times a charm, right? Wrong. Now, I’m not a big fan of the characters. It holds a small place in my heart, mainly because I read the comics growing up here and there and get the gist of the characters and what they stand for. I’m not going to judge this just solely as a comic book film because…

The Batman v Superman trailer has already been parodied a few times now, but this one is actually pretty unique. The people over at CineMash have mixed the trailer with the soundtrack from the recent Deadpool trailer and what you get is a BvS featuring Salt n’ Peppa and DMX. Some might not find it funny but you have to admit – it’s at least interesting: What do you guys think? Be sure to sound off below!

In the most recent issue of Empire, a part of their Batman v Superman cover story covers the upcoming slate of films of WB’s DC Cinematic Universe. It managed to confirm the beginning of filming for Wonder Woman and Justice League as well: Logistically it is staggering. As Batman V Superman gains its coat of special effects, and the various stages of editing, scoring, grading and sound mixing are completed, Deborah Snyder, along with Roven, is watching over a sandbox that stretches around the world.Jenkins is in London prepping Wonder Woman, which will shoot there this autumn. Suicide Squad, already…

Sam Mendes takes one last shot at Bond with Spectre. The 24th Bond film starring Daniel Craig, continues with the aftermath of the previous film, Skyfall. 007 is in full swing as he begins to discover an  evil and deadly organization known as Spectre. I’ve always loved the Bond films that pitted the secret agent against this group and have double down my excitement to the fact that they’re bringing back the classic henchmen trope like Jaws and Oddjob. And theories have been thrown in the mix as Christoph Waltz may be playing the classic Bond villain known as Ernst…
