Star Trek 2 Delayed Until December 2012?

The Star Trek 2 script was supposed to be finished by Christmas 2009, and it’s still not done. So it should surprise nobody that there’s talk that the Trek sequel may be delayed six months from June 2012 release date. https://gizmodo.com/star-trek-2-may-not-have-an-actual-villain-5298806 The other day, Roberto Orci told the TrekMovie reader forums that he and co-writers…

Astounding Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles art brings the cartoon heroes to grim reality

What if Shredder, Splinter, Rocksteady and Bebop were real? What if the toxic ooze that created the 90s action film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles spilled into the sewers today?

So why exactly do the X-Men want to learn to be insurance agents?

This ad for Farmers Insurance just aired during The Event. And whoa — it seems like Fox is going the extra mile to try and get the news out about X-Men: First Class, with Farmers Insurance paying the dime. Actually, this ad sort of follows in the footsteps of Green Hornet, which did some totally…

Bad Ideas: Disney changes “John Carter of Mars” to just “John Carter”

For reasons unknown to us, Disney has decided to change Andrew Stanton’s much-hyped, live action adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic novels John Carter of Mars, to simply, John Carter. Dark Horizons broke the title change news. Some people are speculating that Carter’s name change was enforced to distance the film from the poorly performing…

Stan Lee spoils the hell out of the new Spider-Man movie

Like a lovable grandpa spoiling the surprise birthday cake at the family dinner, Marvel’s venerable Stan Lee spilled the beans on Marc Webb’s Spider-Man reboot. He revealed not only his cameo, but confirmed one epic fight scene involving lizards. From Stan Lee’s Q&A at the Dallas Comic Con (video above): “Wait til’ you see it,…

How 3D Is Destroying 2D Movies Too

Something bothered me the entire time I was watching Thor in 3D—not how closely the plot echoed Disney’s Hercules, or Anthony Hopkins’ dial-a-performance—no, it was something persistent through every single second of the flick. It was too dim. The last 3D movie I’d seen was Tron: Legacy, where the black-and-blue palette effectively masks any sense…

The hidden posthuman messages in Pixar movies

Futurist Kyle Munkittrick has an interesting essay about Pixar movies over at Discover’s Science Not Fiction blog, where he argues that most of the studio’s films are offering a message about how non-human creatures (like robots or rats) are just as sentient as humans are, and deserve to be treated like people. He sees this…

In which our critic ponders propaganda and religion in “Starship Troopers 3: Marauder”

I know I’m not alone in thinking that Starship Troopers is a masterpiece. Directed by Paul Verhoeven — who made Showgirls, another of my unironic favorites — it’s absurdly enjoyable scifi camp. Giant bugs, a cameo by Rue McClanahan, and ‘90s B-movie princess Denise Richards: what more could you ask for? But Starship Troopers never…
