Star Wars Rumor: 2016 Spinoff Film Plot Revealed

Disney/Lucasfilm's plan is to release a Star Wars spinoff during the years in between "Episodes", for (at least) the film trilogy that begins with Force Awakens in 2015. The first of these spinoffs - some (if not all) of which are expected to be origin stories for certain characters - is being scripted by Gary Whitta ( The Book of Eli , After Earth ) and directed by Gareth Edwards ( Godzilla (2014) ), for a theatrical release in 20


Now, while all this should be taken with a grain of salt... it doesn't sound too far-fetched. Lucas film's VP of Development has indicated that the Star Wars spinoffs will encompass multiple genres , and a Star Wars heist movie would do just that. It's also been rumored that Edwards' film is a Boba Fett movie ; the Fett character could well be part of a Suicide Squad -style team of bounty hunters responsible for stealing the Death Star plans, seeing as his origins have already been explored onscreen (in Episode I


George Lucas may have dreamed up one incredible space opera all by himself, but it was Ralph McQuarrie's concept paintings which made the director's vision a reality, and convinced Fox that it was worth investing in. McQuarrie's role wasn't lost on Lucas either: when it came time to film The Empire Strikes Back , he made sure to give the painter a cameo, strutting through Hoth's Echo Base - with his sketchpad in hand, obviou


Some New Gods fans have lamented that Thanos will likely hit the big screen before Darkseid, which could make Darkseid’s inevitable appearance in a DC movie less impactful. Then again, it’s entirely possible - if DC gets its movie-making act together, that is - that both Thanos and Darkseid could appear in The Avengers 2 and Justice League , respectively, around the same time, as the two tent-pole superhero projects are expected to hit theaters in 2


In the Marvel comic book universe, Thanos is considered to be one of the major villains, though perhaps not quite top-tier. Visually-speaking, he’s a bit derivative of Jack Kirby’s Darkseid from the New Gods of the DC Universe. Thanos’ creator, Jim Starlin, admitted as much in an intervi


Even though American Horror Story season 2 is still (many) months away from premiering, series creator Ryan Murphy has revealed exactly where the second season of FX's horror anthology will be taking pl


He looks a bit more imposing in these images than he did in the film, where he had a vaguely elf-like appearance about him. Perhaps that was because we only saw the right side of his very pink face and none of his gargantuan alien body. It's also worth pointing out that he looks almost identical to his comic book counterpart, give or take a few deta

Speaking at the American Horror Story panel at the TV Academy last week, Murphy revealed that the second season will be moving across the country for its new setting and will be taking place at an institution for the criminally insane that's set on the East Coast. Returning favorite Jessica Lange will be running the institution, though no additional information about her character was revea

One of the big problems surrounding Star Trek Into Darkness was it seemed more concerned about paying tribute to The Wrath of Khan than actually trying to find its own identity as a movie. Instead of focusing on telling a good story, J.J. Abrams put so much fan service in Star Trek Into Darkness that it was so difficult to focus or get into the sci-fi film. The end result just upset fans because it wasn't as good as the first reboot and its moderate box office take reflects poo

"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 internet when he spotted his lighting crew bringing large spotlights onto the set he would joke "these aren't the flares you're looking f
