Oh stop worring.

Mark Hamill looks to be in!!!!!

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/61081

Hamill told Entertainment Tonight that no contracts have been signed, but it seems clear that neither Hamill nor Fisher wanted to be killed off since they're both slated to meet with Kathleen Kennedy and screenwriter Michael Arndt in the near future.

Hamill further speculates he'd take on an Obi-Wan style mentor position and the films will be about the trio's kids, but it's only speculation at this point... however, he was around when Lucas had meticulously mapped out the further Skywalker adventures and from we know of his framework the next trilogy would indeed introduce their kids, but I hope they're not going to treat the old guard like cameos

The only thing they need now is for aaaaall the fat, old, ugly cast members, and their hideously stupid, spoiled retard kids to join hands and sing songs in a musical manner.

At select theater showings while you're trying to watch Star Wars XIIIXV magical singsong adventure George Lucas will show up and slap you in the face with his dick and he'll be like FOUR BILLION DOLLARS BITCH.

FUCK YEA.

First off the old cast back together is the greatest thing ever, it will be amazing and everyone will love it. Their kids will probably be awesome too.

Secondly Lucas already sold SW so he makes zero money from any of this and all the money he made(4 billion) he gave to charity to help save the world. So GME have you done anything like that.

The Grandmaster LoveHKFilm review

"Wong Kar-Wai returns with his long-awaited martial arts drama, and offers refreshingly complex ideas and themes instead of his usual self-indulgent emotions. Fans of the director should be sold while his detractors may remain unimpressed. Hopefully, some will recognize The Grandmaster as Wong's most mature work yet."

Earlier you said everyone would love to see the old cast back on screen. Can you ammend that so it says the old cast minus Carrie Fisher? No one wants to see her anymore.

At least she'd add some spice to proceedings. The off screen shenanigans might have made such an incredibly stupid idea worth it.

Review: STOKER Triumphs With Beauty And Violence

Stoker is what you've come to expect from Park Chan-wook: A twisted tale of familial obsession, sexual repression, buried histories, and, in the loosest and grimmest sense, self-liberation.


Review: JACK THE GIANT SLAYER Boldly Slashes Forth, Free Of Irony Color me surprised, because if Jack the Giant Slayer isn't quite the best movie of the year so far, it's at least a damn good one.It's fair to say the movie had a stink about it.


Like It Or Not, PROMETHEUS 2 Is Coming One of the most divisive films of last year was Ridley Scott's Prometheus. Hey, only kidding - after the Phantom Menace-eqsue want-it-to-be-good spark faded from our eyes, most of us had to admit it wasn't very good and didn't make..

Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Review - from Kung Fu Hustle director



Entertaining fantasy-comedy that's funny and well-played, with fine turns from Wen Zhang, Shu Qi and Huang Bo. The odd pace, dark overtones and over-reliance on CGI hinder some of the fun, but Journey to the West is the class of the 2013 Lunar New Year season and smart, solid populist fare. Sorry, Stephen Chow does not appear — and you know what, that's okay.

This latest Stephen Chow film doesn’t raise Chinese commercial cinema to a new level, but it’s smart, funny and exemplary as populist fare. The sight gags and dry comic asides are as enjoyable as anything from Chow’s accomplished filmography, and the themes of devoted love and irreconcilable regret – two concepts that Chow frequently obsesses over – strike the proper emotional chords.

Tired Of JUSTICE LEAGUE False Starts, Warner Bros. Finally Throws Up The Bat Signal
Nolan. Snyder. Goyer. Bale. Cavill. And players to be named later.

Latino Review has done their due dilligence on their latest scoop: Warner Bros. is handing the DC Universe reins over to Christopher Nolan, Zack Snyder and David Goyer. The tentative plan is for Snyder to direct JUSTICE LEAGUE from a story devised by Nolan and Goyer. Snyder's deal isn't in place, but considering how ecstatic everyone at WB is about MAN OF STEEL (I've been told it's the movie of Summer 2013), the studio will make that deal.One thing from Mayimbe's video that can't be stressed enough: franchises are at a premium in Hollywood, and Disney has the top two at the moment (STAR WARS and the Marvel Universe). DC is an asset that has been bafflingly mismaged by the usually shrewd WB, and after the latest failed development of JUSTICE LEAGUE (with GANGSTER SQUAD screenwriter Will Beall), the studio has turned to Nolan. And when you get Nolan, you get Christian Bale as Batman. That's worth $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Minimum.

Henry Cavill's Clark Kent/Superman will obviously be a part of this JUSTICE LEAGUE. Beyond that, who knows? The smart money is on the characters WB has devleloped in the past: Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern. As for a villain? Man-Bat, obviously. Seriously, Darkseid was the focus of the previous script, but given Thanos's presumed involvement in THE AVENGERS 2, wouldn't that feel a bit copycat? That's definitely not Nolan's style.
In the past the studios have issued firmed denials. Lately, they've changed their approach. Now, silence seems to be the preferred response. However WB attacks this, I feel confident in backinig up El Mayimbe's story. This is what's going on with the DC Universe right now. One plus for the studio: I doubt fans are going to get up in arms over this. Conceptually, this is a home run. I just hope this doesn't fuck up Nolan's INTERSTELLAR. He's the only filmmaker around who can give us a big-budget science-fiction film based on the work of Kip Thorne.
