GI Joe

FROM NEXT MOVIE

We're not entirely sure if you've seen "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" by now, but if you haven't, there's a death about 20 minutes into the movie that should come as a surprise to anyone who hasn't seen the trailers, TV spots, or a synopsis of the toy-inspired sequel.

If you have, then you understand the shock (?) of seeing a headlining star bite the dust early in a big movie. "G.I. Joe" isn't the only example, however, and the folks over at Next Movie have put together an infographic that collects some of the most memorable early departures.

'Fast & Furious 7' To Start Filming This Summer?

Posted 4/1/13 3:00 pm EST by in News

Fast & Furious 6

"Fast & Furious 6" might still be almost two months away from being released, but plans are already in the works for a follow-up. Star Vin Diesel took to his Facebook page to tease when the new movie will begin shooting.

"There was an early screening in LA this week of Fast 6. The crowd reaction was surreal… and their demand for the continuation was powerful… It’s remarkable to think I first embodied this character in 1999… and the evolution continues," he wrote, via /Film. "P.s. Filming begins this summer in LA, where it all started… talk about a studio in sync with the audience…"

Original 'Star Wars' Screenplay To Become Limited Comic Book Series

Posted 4/1/13 2:00 pm EST by in News, Star Wars

Star Wars

George Lucas' original draft of the "Star Wars" screenplay has always been the stuff of legends. Facts like Luke Skywalker's original name (Starkiller) have peppered hardcore fan conversations for decades with only word-of-mouth to help spread the alternate universe version of the original "Star Wars."

But today, Dark Horse Comics announced that they are adapting that original draft from 1974 as an eight-issue comic series. The books will come from the pages of that rough screenplay, as adapted by writer J.W. Rinzler. The limited series will launch in September.

'Star Wars' Spotlight: Nien Nunb

Posted 4/1/13 1:00 pm EST by in Star Wars

nien Nunb

By Ryan Rigley

Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford may still be in negotiations to reprise their roles as Luke, Leia and Han Solo respectively, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we'll be hearing any details about "Star Wars VII" any time soon. "I don't feel anything at the moment yet," Ford teases about his reported role in the new "Star Wars" trilogy. "I don't even want to discuss that. It's great. Ain't it great?"

Obviously, fan-favorite "Star Wars" characters (such as Han Solo) will be making an appearance in the new trilogy in some way, shape or form. But what's to become of all of those other "Star Wars" characters that aren't quite as well known? Characters like Nien Nunb for example, the pancake-faced alien who co-pilots the Millennium Falcon with Lando Calrissian during the Battle of Endor.

Mark Wahlberg And Denzel Washington Get Dirty In '2 Guns' Trailer

Posted 4/1/13 12:00 pm EST by in Trailers

2 Guns

If there's one thing you can take away from the trailer for "2 Guns," it's that Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington have amazing chemistry. The adaptation of the Boom Studios comic book of the same name teams the two actors up as an undercover DEA agent and Navy Intelligence officer who are both betrayed by their organizations and forced to work together to figure out why.

But, as can be seen in the trailer below the jump, "together" is a touchy word. At least Wahlberg and Washington work better alongside each other than their characters Marcus Stigman and Bobby Trench do, as their hilarious back-and-forth is the main element of the trailer that keeps it worth watching. It seems like this movie is going to be worth seeing for these two alone, despite having a strong supporting cast.
