Next Star Trek Could Feature Yeoman Rand

Were you sad the U.S.S. Enterprise was such a sausage-fest in the most recent Star Trek? Then there’s good news: co-writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman tell io9 the next film could feature one of Trek’s most iconic women. Yeoman Janice Rand, with her imposing blonde beehive, only appeared in a handful of Trek episodes…

A Dark Cyborg Bird Of Prey Attacks, In A 5-Minute Clip From Shane Acker’s 9

A new clip from Shane Acker‘s 9 shows us the harrowing confrontation between the last remnants of human society — a clan of rag dolls — and a nightmarish cyber-bird. This is the clip that blew our minds at Wondercon. The new clip also gives us more of a sense of the chaos that rag…

Yes, It’s A Charlie Kaufman Pastiche Starring Paul Giamatti. Got A Problem With That?

Cold Souls stars Paul Giamatti as an actor named Paul Giamatti, struggling with ennui. He gets his soul removed in an arcane procedure, but things don’t go as he’d hoped, in this new trailer. Is “Charlie Kaufman” becoming a genre? As derivative as Cold Souls is — and it looks very derivative, so far —…

Final G.I. Joe Trailer Features Wayans Slapstick, Mask Bukkake And More Crazy Stunts

The last trailer for G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra is out, and it gives a better sense of the movie’s mix of silly humor and over-the-top action. Marlan Wayans takes two power-suit pratfalls, gets a breathing-mask slapped on his face.

Shia May Be Our Last Man After All

It’s a case of good news, bad news for the Y: The Last Man movie. On the plus side, a new script for the movie is currently being co-written by creator Brian K. Vaughan. On the minus, Shia’s still involved. Talking during a press appearance for Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, Shia LeBeouf said that…

Cold Souls Shows a World Where Fancy Machines Capture Our Souls

Cold Souls stars Paul Giamatti playing himself. In it, he discovers a company that extracts, deep-freezes and stores people’s souls. Unfortunately, it turns out that when you take souls out of the body, a lucrative soul-trafficking business sprouts up. Sure, it looks like a straight combo of Being John Malkovich and The Simpsons episode Bart…

Transformers Leaves Giant Metallic Footprint On World Box Office

Surprising no-one, Michael Bay’s second Transformers movie dominated the international box office this weekend, despite only opening in two countries. Have we finally met this year’s Dark Knight? To give an idea of just how successful Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen was in the UK and Japan this week, consider this: It made $1.6 million…

Blink And You’ll Miss First Last Airbender Clip

The first footage from M. Night Shyamalan’s movie version of The Last Airbender is online – but it’s only ten seconds of candles and people in hoods. Will the internet erupt in outrage nonetheless? The clip comes in a trailer for tomorrow’s Entertainment Tonight, leading Ain’t It Cool to assume that the first trailer for…

Remembering Burton’s Batmania, 20 Years Later

It was 20 years ago this week that Tim Burton’s Batman was released, changing the face of summer blockbusters, superhero movies and even breakfast cereal forever (Okay, maybe not that last one). Perhaps it’s time to relive some Batmania…? Tuesday marks the exact anniversary (June 23rd) of Burton’s movie – a film that broke box…

Batmania – The Sequels

As the cliche (doesn’t) go: Where there’s the box office smoke, there’s going to be sequel fire, and Batman’s box office breaking lead to three follow-ups that pretty much define that whole The Good, The Bad and The Ugly idea. Batman Returns There are many who think that Burton’s second Batman is his best, and…

Batmania – The Aftermath

The Comics Arguably, Burton’s movie didn’t influence the comics directly as much as give them even more reason to pursue the dark, Frank Miller route they were already taking (Although 1992’s “Destroyer” storyline recreated Gotham City using Anton Furst’s production designs for the architecture of the movie, probably the most concrete example of the movie…

Batmania – The Merchandise

In the summer of 1989, you couldn’t get away from Batman even if you tried. Kevin Smith put it best: That summer was huge. You couldn’t turn around without seeing the Bat-Signal somewhere. People were cutting it into their fucking heads. It was just the summer of Batman and if you were a comic book…

Batmania – The Movie

Even before Tim Burton took the director’s chair of Batman in 1986, the movie seemed troubled, if not just outright unlikely to ever happen. A Batman movie had been in development since 1980, following the success of Richard Donner’s Superman The Movie and Superman II, with various writers – including comic writer Steve Englehart –…

Star Trek 2 May Not Have An Actual Villain

The new Star Trek movie may not actually feature Khan Noonien Singh — or any other villain, for that matter. Co-writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, who hope to have a script finished by Christmas, tease a very different storyline. Orci and Kurtzman tell Collider they’re debating between a couple of different ideas for the…

Transformers Shows Military Might Off Realistically

We’re not saying that the Earth may actually come under attack from giant robots, but if that were to happen, apparently Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen would be a surprisingly realistic portrayal of how the US military would fight back. In a first for a major movie, four of the five branches of America’s military…

Terminator Is A Hit Everywhere But The US

Think that Star Trek is the hit of the year? That’s only because you’re looking at the US grosses. Outside of America, James T. Kirk’s ass is being kicked by Christian Bale… and quite a few other people, as well. Variety reports that Terminator: Salvation is doing well outside of its home country, taking the…

Lava Sword Vs. Hydra – Who Wins?

In this fine film known simply as Hydra, things are simple. There are good guys, bad guys, a hot chick, a disposable black guy, and a bigass hydra who possesses the power to chomp with all five snakey heads. There’s some kind of back story, blah blah blah bad guys associated with the military or…

This is embarassing. Jack Yates has been sentenced to six months in jail for pirating the horrible Mike Meyers movie The Love Guru.
