Chris Pine discusses 'Star Trek 2'

Together again - and coming not so soon to a theater near you.

Thanks to Christina Radish at Collider.com, we've got a few quotes from Chris (Captain James T. Kirk) Pine on the status of 'Star Trek 2,' which is less than 11 months from its premiere (May 17, 2013, to be precise).

Collider: How is the new Star Trek film?

PINE:  Oh, it’s good!  What am I going to tell you?  Those big films are scary things.  There’s so much money behind those things.  There’s that hype.  You enter a machine.  I’m just happy that the people behind it were such good, welcoming types.  J.J. [Abrams] runs that ship.  J.J. is a wonderful guy.  What they bring to this kind of film is a small character-driven story, matched with robots or aliens or spaceships.  That’s a very hard thing to do, and a lot of people don’t pay attention to that.  It’s really interesting that, in The Avengers, the character that people relate to is The Hulk, and I think the reason why they relate to The Hulk is because he’s fragile and human and faulty.

Looking Back: The Black Hole

Looking Back at Sci - Fi Movies of Yesteryear

It's 1979 and it’s the year of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers dominating their respective sports.  It was also the year that the American Embassy in Iran was taken over and 55 Americans were held hostage for 444 days.  It was also the year that Walt Disney Pictures released the movie The Black Hole.

The K-9 Series

Sort of the forgotten spin-off of Doctor Who but the K-9 series is still going on strong with work being done on the second season.  The first season will air in both Canada and the U.S. this fall.

'Avengers' may return to theaters in August with extra footage

Who knows? This scene might actually make it into the director's cut.

Some rumors suck. This one doesn't. Ain't It Cool News is reporting that an extended director’s cut of "The Avengers" may assemble - no, we're not done with that play on words yet - at theaters in August. This follows talk that Joss Whedon’s superhero superhit will add an extra 35 minutes when it is released on Blu-ray. Yes, this is cool.

The 3rd Photo of Matt Smith and Jenna - Louis Coleman

Here is the 3rd photo released of the new TARDIS crew.  All fine and all but it would be nice if they started releasing some news and promo pictures of the upcoming season.  More importantly the first five stories that will be coming out this Fall.

It's about time: Sherman and Peabody headed to the big screen

A list of the best time-travel stories would have to include such classics as "Back to the Future," "The Terminator" and "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," to name just a few.

OK, you can add "Twelve Monkeys," "Time Bandits" and even "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure."

But No. 1 has to be ... drum roll, please ... Sherman and Peabody. The timeless (get it?) cartoon adventure from the legendary creative mind of Jay Ward is under development as a feature, "Mr. Peabody," at DreamWorks Animation.

The latest casting news has Stephen Colbert and Allison Janney signing on to the cartoon project, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter. Colbert voices the villain, Paul Peterson, while Janney plays a character known as Mrs. Grunion.

Ty Burrell ("Modern Family") previously was cast as the voice of Mr. Peabody. The role of Sherman belongs to Max Charles ("The Amazing Spider-Man").

As everyone knows (and The Reporter reminds us): "Mr. Peabody is the world's smartest person - only he's a dog. When he and his 'pet' boy Sherman use their WABAC time-traveling machine without permission, events in history spiral out of control and it is up to the duo to put things back on track."

The studio is so so excited about the prospects of the film that its release has been pushed up from March 14, 2014 to Nov. 8, 2013. Unless you have your own WABAC machine, you'll have to wait.

Bill Murray discusses 'Ghostbusters 3'

It's on.

It's off.

It's a rumor.

There's a script.

There's a script, but Bill Murray shredded it.

We've heard all of the rumors about the long-delayed "Ghostbusters 3." Listen to what Murray had to say during a recent appearance on "Late Night With David Letterman" and draw your own conclusions.

Trailer For Season 5 Of Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Here is a trailer for the 5th Season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars that will debuet mid September.

Extended Trailer For Green Arrow TV Show!!

Here is a extended preview for the CW's Arrow.  It looks pretty good and what has me impressed is that they are actually using his true origin and that the character might be true to the modern day Green Arrow comic book.

Prometheus Extended Version Blu-Ray

As to be expected, Ridley Scott is talking about an extended edition on the Home video release.  I wouldn't expect to see too many of the problems of the film to be repaired by this version but hopefully some of the highlights of the film will be enhanced.

There is also a new viral movie online that may point to a 10-11-12 release date on Home Video - or not.  That is a Thursday and rarely do releases happen then.  Perhaps an announcement of a sequel will happen on that date.




Or it could have been an outtake that accidentally got online!
