Bump...because DePalma.

The question is, will the general audience care enough "why we're all here"...? ;-)

Would be hilarious to get Brosnan for a cameo, revealing himself to be one of the masked-villains pursuing them, after being shot down...Tyrese walks over and takes off his mask...Brosnan touts "You were expecting someone else?" ;-)

Hollywood Reporter has a good piece up explaining why *all* the major studios may have "issues" this Summer and beyond...except for Disney, where 'Alice' seems like a blip on the radar. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/alice-x-men-messes-studio-898137

Doesn't really matter. They won't hold him to it if he doesn't want to be there...or if Broccoli herself thinks a change in direction is better, at this point.

So no one thinks FOX fudged the number for the 4-day gross? $80,000,000 seems a bit too on the money...if you can tolerate my pun.

Does that mean it deserves a pass? And on the topic of more money for script rewrites: Yes. It. Can. Do I need to quote the innumerable examples in Hollywood history? (Green Lantern being just one of the most exploited debacles.) More hands in the pie (even if simply "polishes") always muddles the recipe.

Mendes is done. Craig next to announce? http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/EU_BRITAIN_SAM_MENDES?SITE=SCAND&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

Not surprising at all...

The whole movie is in the synopsis, and worse, the trailer. It's really disappointing that they feel they have to reveal so much just to hook people. That trailer should have ended at about 1:30 with B.D. Wong's "Bring him home!" and a cliffhanger, before he even makes the journey back to Earth.

These are nice, and good to see "Bones" gets some respect...but it's hilarious how Paramount is still afraid of using the name "STAR TREK", especially during the franchise's 50th f'n Anniversary! (I like the subtle insignia image, though...)

...Which is exactly what the movie will be trying to do, based on how little buzz this has.

This may not have been released in China, but it was released in Taiwan...which China considers a part of itself, when convenient... I happened to be in Taipei in Jan. 2015 for this film's local red carpet premiere. Hemsworth and Mann didn't see fit to show, but the evening was attended by Chinese-born Tang Wei, who was infamously "banned from acting"/blacklisted for a few years by the Chinese government after her appearance in Ang Lee's Lust, Caution (2007). Tang Wei had also just married a South Korean film director in 2014...I'm guessing that didn't help the Chinese government's perception of her...or Blackhat. ;-)

New poster:

This looks like the closest thing to Mel back as Mad Max that we're ever going to get! Cannes Review: http://variety.com/2016/film/festivals/cannes-mel-gibson-blood-father-1201780294/ Trailer: Behind the scenes: (delete if there is already a thread)

The original filmmaker agrees. Nicholas Meyer on STID: "Well, you have to be flattered that somebody wants to sort of try and make your movie again. But the difference between a rip-off and an homage is that you are supposed to add something." http://trekmovie.com/2014/10/10/exclusive-nick-meyer-talks-star-trek-ii-directors-blu-ray-reacts-to-into-darkness-death-scene-more/

This was an exclusive given out to fans who attended the event last night in LA. I don't think it's going to be part of Paramount's general promotion for this.

http://www.comic-con.org/toucan/world-premiere-of-star-trek-beyond-comic-con-international "Exclusive red carpet world premiere" ...And so it is.

The word is that it should be online in an hour or two, after this event.

I'm more interested in the TV series at this point than I am in Beyond...that's not good for Paramount.

Not having to pay Robert Downey, Jr. $40 mil. and change sure helps...

I haven't re-visited the first movie and I never saw the second one... but my gf likes this book. Everything else Ron Howard does is so great... Hmm...

This is serious. And it's more serious than they let on in the first place, which was easy to see, based on early leaked news of the accident. So it shouldn't be so hard to believe that the film will be "delayed indefinitely" (i.e. canceled for now), especially if the other item this person mentioned is true. Fans are fans, I guess...

It would be nice if some of this went to a charity in Prince's name... This is why I'm going to see it this week at a local (non-multiplex) theater of mine...at least I'll be supporting a local historic theater and knowing that it won't all be going to the corporate machine.

No one can. And the idea that fans think Warner Bros. is going to touch that character with a ten-foot motion capture pole anytime before the third act of Justice League 2 (if that film even happens) is hilarious. They sunk $300 mil down the toilet -- they're pretty wary of wading into those green, sludgy CG waters again. ...And now, they clearly have much bigger problems to worry about.
