The early box office tracking for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is in, and it is very good news for Lucasfilm. Before we get too deep, however, it’s important to note that tracking is A.

In recent years box office tracking has become less reliable as films like Deadpool opened to $50 million higher than expected, but … Continue reading ‘Rogue One’ Box Office Tracking for Stellar $130 Million (or Higher) Opening Weekend!!

With the arrival of the first Star Wars anthology film later this year, we’re already seeing a major difference between marketing for The Force Awakens and Rogue One: Lucasfilm is not as shy about previewing the latter, and that seems to be a condition of the subject matter.

HBO was in a bit of a rough spot just a couple of months ago.

As such, the network found itself almost entirely … Continue reading ‘The Night Of’ Could Get a Second Season at HBO!!
Synopsis – The most dangerous former operative of the CIA is drawn out of hiding to uncover hidden truths about his past. My Take – I’ll say straight up that I’m a big fan of Bourne.

The Bourne Ultimatum in particular is up there with Terminator 2 and … Continue reading Jason Bourne (2016) Review!!
Of all the recent long-developed sequels, Jason Bourne is perhaps the most exciting, and the most unlikely to have ever happened. For a period of time, Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass both maintained that they were done with the franchise, and indeed Universal tried to carry it on without them with The Bourne Legacy. But Bourne ain’t a revolving door a la 007, and … Continue reading ‘Jason Bourne’: 17 New Images Find Matt Damon’s Superspy Back in Action!! Check It Out!!

It’s (almost) official! Gareth Edward’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will indeed feature the return of the infamous Star Wars character, Darth Vader.

Last night, before a decidedly wheel-spinning episode of Game of Thrones, HBO unveiled the lengthiest trailer yet for the upcoming limited series The Night Of. Created by Oscar-winning Schindler’s List screenwriter Steven Zaillian and The Wire alum Richard Price, the show revolves around a complex New York City murder case, examining the police investigation, legal proceedings, and criminal justice system in intricate detail.

I’ve got a bad feeling about this. According to Page Six (which can be a bit gossipy, but they did get the Alden Ehrenreich/Han Solo story correct, so credit where credit is due), Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is in a bit of trouble.

Not quite as forceful, and for shorthand, we’ll still refer to this as “Star Wars: Rogue One” or just “Rogue One” since Rogue One: A Star Wars Story sounds like a bedtime book. Moving on, we also have some new and exciting additions to the cast. We previously reported that the cast included Felicity Jones, Riz Ahmed, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, and Forest Whitaker. Disney … Continue reading Disney unveils 1st look at the cast of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story!!
