FRIDAY, JANUARY 13
HAN SOLO---Woody Harrelson commented on his role in the untitled young Han Solo movie, “I’m a mentor to Han, but I’m also a bit of a criminal. I don’t think I’ll have a lot of make-up or anything. We’ll see how that look develops. I’m meeting with those guys tomorrow, the hair and make-up and stunts and everything. We’ll just have a little discussion about that.”
ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY---editor John Gilroy said the scene with Darth Vader slaughtering Rebel Alliance soldiers was one of the controversial reshoots added to the movie, “What was added — and it was a fantastic add — was the Vader action scene, with him boarding the ship and dispatching all those rebel soldiers. That was something conceptualized a little later.”
MARVEL'S THE DEFENDERS---photo from the Netflix series shows the Defenders and Sigourney Weaver as villain Alexandria who is described as, "Her character is a very powerful force in New York City. She's everything Sigourney is: sophisticated, intellectual, dangerous."
PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING---photo shows John Boyega in his armor suit.
LOGAN---Hugh Jackman released the movie's synopsis:
"In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces."
DEADPOOL 2---co-writer Rhett Reese said Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Colossus will return for the sequel, " I think we can say. Yeah, they’ll be in the sequel."
GREEN LANTERN CORPS---David Goyer and Justin Rhodes will write the script for the Warner Bros, movie based on the comic book about the intergalactic police force. The two Green Lanterns will be Hal Jordan and John Stewart.
OCEAN'S EIGHT---James Corden wil play an insurance investigator in the all-female spinoff movie, and Katie Holmes has a cameo in it.
INMATE #1: THE RISE OF DANNY TREJO---Danny Trejo biomovie underway.

Pacific Rim was a movie that managed to both suck and blow at the same time. I was hoping it would be fun, instead it was just a forgettable blah.
rory, is that blah as in blah blah or blurgh like a vomiting noise? I better steer clear of that then, sounds awful. Thanks.

I was indifferent. I kinda liked it despite itself. I was never a Transformers fan but I loved Gigantor as a kid, and I sort of saw the movie thru those eyes.
ah ha - caught you being positive. Dont tell the posters in the other thread. "Over here Lastrade, i have your man!"

Wow, I'm surprised how many people disliked Pacific Rim. It's not a highbrow intelligent movie, but it doesn't have to be. It's a huge spectacle, but rather than the heartless, crass Transformers movie, we get something crafted with love, full of characters who WANT to be heroes, and a positive outlook.
I think Matt Zoller Seitz's review really summarized the main things I enjoyed so much. I'll give just a few quotes, because he's a good writer, and I think he can say it better than I can.
"These people are all just comic-book types, with ridiculous names and cliched back-stories. But their feelings are real. They feel pain. They dream."
"There are many shots so striking that they could have served as the poster image: A Jaeger tumbling into an abyss, its E.T. heart pulsing; a little girl's red shoe in a grey ash-heap on a rubble-strewn street; a kaiju unfurling kite-like wings; a one-eyed kaiju-body-parts dealer named Hannibal Chau (Ron Perlman) stalking through wreckage, his steel-tipped dress shoes jangling like cowboy spurs. A simple shot of Elba's character taking off a helmet is infused with such emotion, thanks to its placement in the story and the sunlight haloing the actor's head, that it would have made John Wayne cry."
"A few hours after I saw "Pacific Rim" for the first time, I had objections to one aspect or another. Days later I can't remember most of them, and in the grand scheme, I don't believe they matter, any more than the "flaws" of "Star Wars" or "The Wizard of Oz" matter. "Pacific Rim" knows what sort of film it wishes to be; it is that film, and much more. In its clanking, crashing way, it's real science fiction, a play of ideas. It's earnest in its belief that all thinking beings are part of a hive mind, or could be. You see the notion acted out onscreen in teams of two or three, in military units and small businesses, in city populations and whole species. This movie made me think of a line from Roger Ebert's review of "Dark City," which he described as "a film to nourish us. Not a story so much as an experience, it is a triumph of art direction, set design, cinematography, special effects--and imagination."
