It feels like we’d never reach this point, but we finally have a poster for Lionsgate’s Chaos Walking.

I’ll be frank with you — I am all about that high-falutin’ “interactive experience > video game” life. If a game (or experience, or whatever you wanna call it) pushes the limits of our relationship to it being a “game,” offers narrative immersion over typical AAA trappings, and otherwise feels like an art installation, I’m all in, baby! Thus, the trailer for Annapurna Interactive’s (yes, … Continue reading ‘Twelve Minutes’ Trailer Reveals the Hellish Time Loop Video Game!! Check It Out!!
Hollywood has not always been kind to leading actors in the Star Wars Skywalker Saga. Mark Hamill can be a geek icon now that Star Wars fandom is a cultural force, but people forget that for decades of his post-Return of the Jedi career, Hamill was in the wilderness, relegated to supporting roles and voice acting despite starring in one of the biggest franchises of all-time. … Continue reading ‘The Ice Beneath Her’: Daisy Ridley in Talks to Star in Psychological Thriller!!

It’s no secret that pretty much every major film released these days goes through some sort of additional photography or reshoots. When a studio is spending so much money on these kinds of films, why wouldn’t they want to spend a little bit more to get things right? Some reshoots are more extensive than others, and some films’ reshoots are more noteworthy than others—say, a … Continue reading ‘Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker’: Three Scenes Added in Reshoots Revealed!!
Synopsis – The surviving Resistance faces the First Order once more in the final chapter of the Skywalker saga. My Take – Ending a series which started about 42 years ago, was never going to be an easy job. Released back in 1977, Star Wars, directed by George Lucas (who later re-titled the film to Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, to fit … Continue reading Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) Review!!!

We have officially hit maximum velocity on the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker marketing train, with Disney and Lucasfilm dropping bombs daily to make sure the film hits a billion dollars.

Disney is really aiming for your heartstrings with their Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker featurettes. The newest one highlights the friendship between Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac, but it’s also a worthwhile selling point for the movie since this will be the first (and presumably, only) time that Rey, Finn, and Poe are all on adventure together rather than being split up … Continue reading ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’: New Featurette Highlights Friendship!!

Disney has released a new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker featurette. The studio is really hammering on the nostalgia factor and that Rise is the end of the Skywalker Saga, and it works.

It feels so bizarre to say, but we’re less than a month away from the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

It should come as no surprise that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is going to make truckloads of money when it opens on December 20th. But just how many truckloads that is remains to be seen.

Now that’d be a great … Continue reading ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ Set for $200 Million Opening at the BO!!

Disney has released a collection of new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker character posters, and they look painfully bland, especially when you compare them to the character posters for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

“We’re all in in this. ‘Til the end.” So proclaims the new TV spot for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Now, Disney brand or not, we’re chalking this one up to parroting the similar sounding rally cry from the famous Avengers: Endgame ad campaign, “Whatever it takes.” Sure, it’s a little clunkier, not quite as memorable, and just as generic, but it’s also bound … Continue reading ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ TV Spot Delivers a Brand New Tagline!!
