This is two years old, and I wish that I had seen it two years earlier. It’s called Mis-drop, and it’s pretty dang good. Not least because it doesn’t resolve a single, blessed thing:
I like stuff that implies that there’s more stuff going on, out there.
Often they are bad. We have all seen how a last-minute change can derail a flick (coughcoughIAmLegendcoughcough). But in this particular case it apparently worked out pretty good for Rogue One (many, many spoilers in that link):
Star Wars: Rogue One has been in theaters for just about a month, and it is safe to say the movie is a huge success. Not only has the first ever live-action theatrically released Star Wars Anthology movie to take place outside of the Skywalker saga done very well at the box office, but it has been very well received by fans. One of the main reasons for that was the presence of Darth Vader, specifically his final scene. It turns out that scene wasn’t originally in the movie.
I’m a little surprised that something like that last scene wasn’t originally in the film, to be honest. I mean, you’d think that they would have shot it as early as they could. Out of sheer anticipation for Filming Something Neat…
(Via Nerdbastards) This seems fairly straightforward:
We don’t normally respond to fan or press speculation, but there is a rumor circulating that we would like to address. We want to assure our fans that Lucasfilm has no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher’s performance as Princess or General Leia Organa.
Carrie Fisher was, is, and always will be a part of the Lucasfilm family. She was our princess, our general, and more importantly, our friend. We are still hurting from her loss. We cherish her memory and legacy as Princess Leia, and will always strive to honor everything she gave to Star Wars.

Sleight might fall under your radar, and you maybe don’t want that to happen. It looks like there’s some juice, there. I don’t want to spoil the trailer, so check it out:
That’s not a joke: Deadline literally wrote “The new version[*] is described as Lethal Weapon in space, and it’s based on a comic book origin story.” Yes. You’re bemused. Full Frontal Nerdity is bemused. The Onion A.V. Club is bemused, when they’re not gleefully imagining all the Green Lantern Corps jokes that are going to crop up in the Deadpool sequel. Personally, I hope that Ryan Reynolds does get approached for this film, and that he does accept it. The result would be as exciting and dynamic as an explosion in a fireworks factory.

You know, I think that I’m going to give this one a shot.
Yes, sure, the science is absolutely absurd. Then again, so was Spectral’s, and I had a pretty good time. IBoy is coming out on Netflix on January 27th, and the kid’s superpowers remind me a lot of the Drummer’s in Planetary. Also: if you’ve never actually read Planetary then you should probably redress that unfortunate condition that you’re currently in. It’s one of the best superhero comic series ever written. As in, in the top five. Maybe in the top three.
Did that get your attention? – Because it certainly got mine. As did the possible cast: Will Smith as… no, not the elephant; as the Good Dad; and Tom Hanks as the villain. Which I must admit: I have no idea who that would be, because we didn’t watch Disney movies growing up and I’ve been hit or miss with filling in the gaps. All I really know about Dumbo is that the elephant can eventually fly and that there are crows in it, including one with a supremely unfortunate name. I’m going to enjoy watching Disney finesse that one away, let me tell you.
Man, I can’t wait to see the fault lines on this one. Ironically, Joseph Fiennes might even end up giving a bravura performance as Michael Jackson. After all, what’s the point in going this gonzo if you don’t redline the accelerator?

Dear God, but that first one was more than a little alarming. This one is considerably more optimistic in tone. It also probably should represent the last Cars movie, too. Or franchise. The franchise is subtly disquieting, all on its own.
