THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN---trailer released for the remake of the classic Western that stars Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt.
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-RBA0xoaWU
STAR TREK 4---Paramount Pictures released the synopsis for the next sequel, “In the next installment of the epic space adventure, Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk will cross paths with a man he never had a chance to meet, but whose legacy has haunted him since the day he was born: his father. Chris Hemsworth, who appeared in 2009’s Star Trek, will return to the space saga as George Kirk to star alongside Pine.”
STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII---Carrie Fisher apparently gave away a sneak preview of EPISODE VIII by mistake when she answered a question about the timeline between THE FORCE AWAKENS and EPISODE VIII, “Han’s funeral."
She the followed with, “The old one, oh. Han and I have a very, very volatile relationship, obviously, which leads to space divorce as you know. No, I don’t think we are divorced, just estranged.”
Also, Lucasfilm confirmed that Alden Ehrenreich will play the young Han Solo in the spinoff movie. Ehrenreich was the first of 3,000 actors who auditioned for the role.
BLADE RUNNER 2---sequel concept art shows a dystopian Los Angeles.
DUNKIRK---Mark Rylance (BRIDGE OF SPIES) commented on the Christopher Nolan World War II movie, “Every great filmmaker at some moment makes a war film. But Chris’ script-writing is so brilliant that I think he has the potential to make a very, very powerful and simple, pure war film about a miraculous loss. I think it has the potential to be just a marvelous film.”
He added, "With some of those old war films you used to get a lot of build-up, you play the guessing game: who’s going to die and who’s going to live. This one has none of that. It’s just BANG! Straight into the middle of a desperate situation.”
GAME OF THRONES---HBO confirmed Season 7 will have only seven episodes and premiers in the summer of 2017.
SHERLOCK---showrunner Steven Moffat commented on the future of the series after the upcoming Season 4, "I don't know how long we can keep it going. I'm personally willing but I'm hardly the main draw. I would be moderately surprised if this was the last time we ever made this show. But it absolutely could be. We do have two film stars in the program. They haven't needed to do these jobs for a very long time. They're coming back because they want to."
TENNISON---Stefanie Martini will play a young Jane Tennison in this prequel series to PRIME SUSPECT which starred Helen Mirren.
PREDATOR---a rumor says James Franco is a candidate to star in the sequel.
BIG STONE GRID---movie underway about two New York police detectives who discover a serial killer/extortion ring. Pierre Morel (TAKEN) is the director. The script was written by S. Craig Zahler (BONE TOMAHAWK).
GOTHAM---Benedict Samuel (THE WALKING DEAD) will play Mad Hatter who is described as, “Tetch is a talented hypnotist teetering on the edge of madness. He arrives in Gotham with an unwavering desire to find his sister, Alice, a young woman who went missing in the city years ago. It is anyone’s guess just how far down the rabbit hole he’s willing to go in order to find her.”

The Chris Hemsworth scenes and the music to it in Star trek were the best bit of the film for me. Just before he was famous too. Abrams doesn't even mention him in the commentary (by name at least). But he was familiar to Home & Away soap watchers, even then.
I'm with Dragon on this, they always seem to resort to time travel or other used storylines before anything original. I'm pretty sure there'll be an entire film on the holodeck soon enough.
Wish they'd get out there and boldly go without it.

THE RAPNIFICENT SEVEN - Uggh-blah dear God I hate rap music. The trailer lacks truly theatrical lines (to his credit, Tarantino`s Hateful Eight has quite a few), and the descent into rap does it no favours. Also healthily suspicious of any film whose trailer cannot sum up a cohesive scene with which to impress you (nothing but rapid cuts, glowering, and camera posing). (And explodysions.)
STAR TREK 4 - I`m with you guys... time travel. Then again I confess I never came onboard with the re-imagining in the beginning (first movie), so no great disappointment. Why not just slap a USS Enterprise bumper-sticker on an english telephone booth already?
If the plot does not involve time-travel, I`m still unimpressed. Relying upon the return of a character who *should* be theatrically dead (as in it served a theatrical purpose to make him so...) sounds cheap; frankly what gravitas impelled the Kirk character is now undermined. Less driven - his Dad survived! "What the f**k?!?..."
BLADERUNNER 2 - I saw a blurb about this artwork elsewhere, referring to it as sci-fi fantasy. Sorry, but its not fantasy, its predictive future. If you want to know where Mankind is headed, given Greed and short-sightedness and corruption, behold... Bladerunner. We`ll be livin` it soon enough.

This has been J.J.'s plan all along . . .
(Hemsworth's electronically-altered voice): "Jim, I am your father . . ."
