H. Weber willfully threw out the book Watch Fast and Furious 6 Online And others proclaiming it a misunderstood masterpiece. Nonetheless, the $130 million dollar production managed to pull in an impressive $403 million worldwide, paving the way for a possible sequel. By the end of last summer, Fox was urging Scott to consider the follow-up the film’s final scene sets up so nicely. But rather than have Prometheus scribes Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof return to draft part two, Scott and Fox are looking elsewhere. The Wrap reports the filmmakers are circling Jack Paglen, a relative newcomer whose only screenwriting credit to date is Transcendence. But considering that is the directorial debut of Chris Nolan’s long-time director of photography Wally Pfister, it’s a hell of a thing to have on your résumé. That sci-fi drama has already attracted such eye-catching talent as Johnny Depp, Paul Bettany, Cillian Murphy, and Morgan Freeman. With an anticipated release date of April 18th, 2014, Transcendence could spark a fandom for Paglen that would play well for Prometheus 2. Watch The Hangover 3 Online However, while Scott has reportedly signed on to Paglen’s pitch for the sequel, Paglen has yet to commit to the project. But final negotiations are going on now, and even with Prometheus’s checkered reputation, Paglen would be mildly insane to turn down a chance to work with the sci-fi movie master. So this is all but a done deal. But why weren’t Spaiht and Lindelof invited back? Spaiht had penned the original script for Prometheus, which was meant to tie directly into the setup for Alien. But Fox is said to have pushed for an ending that would have allowed for a potential Prometheus sequel. Enter Lindelof, who would not only do the rewrite but be blamed by fanboys everywhere for every choice they didn’t like. We don’t know for certain why Spaiht hasn’t returned, but Lindelof confessed his reason was two-fold. One: he didn’t want to commit the time to writing a sequel. But two (and more importantly) he wasn’t asked. The next question of course is where Prometheus 2 will go with the story of archaeologist Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and her plucky. Watch Star Trek into Darkness Online Sometimes-homicidal android friend David (Michael Fassbender). At Prometheus’s end, the pair were planning to continue Elizabeth’s search for answers to the creation of men by the Engineers. Will they find them? Will they reveal the why of man’s existence? Will the killer creature Elizabeth accidentally created catch up with them? We’ll find out (or not) when Prometheus 2 makes its debut. But that is still a ways off. For now, Rapace and Fassbender are attached to reprise their roles, and a buzzed about screenwriter is thisclose to taking on the daunting task of continuing this tale. Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel is a visually fascinating and often violent ride. It’s a polarizing, intensely interesting take on The Man of Tomorrow that had the theatergoers around me debating when they left and has had film critics arguing either for or against ever since. Maybe there’s too much repetitive action. Maybe the film needs as many battles near the end to justify the quieter periods at the beginning. Maybe Superman is the best hero we have. Watch The Purge Online Maybe he’s not fit for the modern age. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Almost everything about the quality of this film and where a sequel should go from here leaves me confused and wishy washy, except for one clear, irrefutable takeaway: the people of Earth would never, ever trust Snyder’s Superman. For the last thirty-three years, human beings not directly related to the Kent family or not directly saved by Clark have moved about their daily lives without any knowledge that an alien with stunning, almost unfathomable powers was living amongst them, until suddenly, they’re made aware of said fact by a pissed off warlord alien who threatens to destroy the world if Superman doesn’t turn himself in. Like a selfless hero, he does exactly that, but not long after, the fight winds up coming to Earth anyway. By my estimation, Snyder’s film racks up a body count of at least 100,000 men, women and children during the climactic confrontation. Dead. Not injured. Full on, never coming back dead. Watch The Internship Online As a congenial, good-natured alien who was shipped off as a baby without his consent, Superman can’t be blamed for General Zod following him to Earth. Babies, by their very nature, are powerless to handle their own fates, and as Lady Gaga would tell you, we’re born the way we are. Kal-El didn’t ask to have abilities beyond his peers, but he accepts that charge and does his best under difficult, isolated circumstances. In short, he’s a really good person. He’s the type of guy George Costanza would hate. He climbs onto burning oil rigs to save people. He stands up to sexually forward assholes. He’s just an excellent guy. Some, like the fine folks over at Badass Digest, think he could even stand to be a better person in the context of the big final fight, but to be frank, his motives and his altruism really wouldn’t matter to humanity. Watch The Big Wedding Online We like to think of ourselves as informed people who look at the larger picture, but at the end of the day, we’re willing to hold grudges over anything. Do you really think insurance companies suddenly out billions (with a b) would not be furious over Superman operating in Metropolis? Do you think all of the family members of the deceased who lived inside buildings Superman threw people through would not, fairly or unfairly, hold Superman responsible for the loss of life? Do you think all of the talking heads on cable news would not have a field day with this mess? I went to high school with some girl who still blames me for a car accident because I waved her in front of me, and she got hit about thirty seconds later. That was over a decade ago, and her car had like two hundred dollars worth of damage. Watch Man of Steel Online The Spectacular Now opened to rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. In Katey’s positive review from the fest, she declared, “this is that rare, rare Sundance movie about a young man’s personal struggles that also feels like it matters,” adding, “you’ll be hearing a lot about this one down the road, and it’s got the goods to live up to the hype.” With buzz like this, it is no wonder the film was quick to score distribution. Watch This is the End Online As mentioned, Wednt - who played Norm on Cheers - joins Jason Alexander among the guest stars set to appear in TV Land’s planned comedy, which is expected to start shooting later this month but has no set premiere date. Alexander will play Madison’s agent in an episode. While it seems likely that Wednt and Perlman will appear on screen together, considering they’re exes, there’s no word on whether or not we’ll see Alexander and Michael Richards - who plays Madison’s driver - crossing paths. But not knowing is all the more reason to tune in when Kirstie premieres. Watch World War Z Online Here are a few of the character descriptions posted by Bleeding Cool; you can click over there for the full list. Bear in mind that in the UK, “fit” is interchangeable with “hot” or “attractive,” so they’re not necessarily obsessed with the actors’ workout routines (yet):Bleeding Cool says they’ve confirmed that these will be major roles, but there’s no telling just how open all of these roles are to actors. For example, it’s hard to read that “seventy something male” description and not think of Harrison Ford, who has said he’s open to returning as Han Solo in the upcoming films, along with Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. I would imagine, though, that the younger roles would be closer to what we’re expecting for leads, and that Abrams and company might really be up for offering them to some unknowns. Chris Pine was pretty much nobody when he was brought on board as Captain Kirk, after all. Then again, so were Hayden Christensen and Jake Lloyd when they were cast as various young versions of Darth Vader… but come on, that’s a mistake we can definitely learn from.If casting really is taking place, then we’re about to start getting our first hard facts from behind the scenes of Episode VII-- alongside plenty of other classic Abrams misdirection, probably. We’ll keep you posted as we try to sort through it all on the way toward-- can you even believe it’s happening? – the probable 2015 release of the next Star Wars movie. UPDATE: On the heels of the news that Spider-Man director Marc Webb has cut Shailene Woodley from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, THR reports that it “is likely that Woodley will not return and that the part will be recast.” It’s suggested that Divergent might keep Woodley too busy to return to Spider-Man’s world. Or maybe Webb just wants someone different for the sure-to-be-expanded role? More on this as the story develops. eneral Zod doesn’t come to Earth because he wants to go skiing, only to suddenly decide to commit genocide instead. He comes to Earth to follow Superman, which means Earth is nothing more than collateral damage. Superman’s mere presence on Earth makes the planet a far more dangerous place, even if, deep down, all he really gives a shit about is getting cats down from trees. Let’s say, between that bus accident and the oil rig and things that happened off camera, Clark has saved 75 people from dying in his life. That’s amazing, but from a body count standpoint, he’s still -99,925 because I’m sure as hell not giving him credit for saving Earth when he’s the only reason it’s in jeopardy. How many years would he have to work to just even the score?
WTF???
