STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI---a rumor claims Benecio del Toro will play a villain named Vikrum Fett. This led to speculation that Vikrum is the son of Boba Fett. Earlier, del Toro said, “Star Wars is coming up...they don’t let me talk too much about it. I’m, like, the villain.”

WONDER WOMAN---David Thewlis (HARRY POTTER) will play the main villain, Ares the Greek god of war.





SPLIT---Samuel L. Jackson commented on the sequel which is in the same universe as M. Night Shyamalan's UNBREAKABLE that starred Jackson and Bruce Willis, “I think he’s (James McAvoy's The Horde) an adequate foe for what Bruce’s UNBREAKABLE character is in terms of him being sort of unbreakable too in that kind of way, and me having found now – f–k, that would be two people that Elijah would look at and go, ‘Why are they so this and I’m so this on this end of the spectrum?’ It’s just a matter of breaking my ass out of wherever that mental institution was they had me locked up and let’s get it on, let’s see what happens!”

THE LION KING---director Jon Favreau announced that James Earl Jones returns as Mufasa. and Donald Glover will play Simba in the live-action remake of the original 1994 movie.

That's 'STAR WARS' for you; since 'EMPIRE' anyway, everybody's related.

Why would anyone with even one brain cell hire Lindsay Lohan?

Which is why these washed up celebs spend their time on Twitter stating what characters they would love to play.

What I thought but did not want to type here because I try not to be a potty mouth.





But, yeah, fuck the Fett fanboys. WHY ARE THERE ONLY TWO FAMILIES IN THIS WHOLE FUCKING GALAXY.



Sorry.



Not sorry.

And to be clear, insisting your movie can't be good unless it is rated R is for the desperate.

Good writing matters, telling a good story matters, not how many buckets of blood you use. Sounds like he's aiming right for the aintitcool.com crowd.

When did he imply that it was going to be good because of its R rating? He's railing against the current studio penchant for insisting on a PG-13 out of fear of poor box office returns. It's the nonsensical mentality that you can make a movie about an alien killing people, but it can't be violent.

PREDATOR - Hurray for R. We can handle it. smile

STAR WARS - Fett? I must agree... something they have seemingly avoided so far is the improbable reliance upon everyone in this teeming galaxy being relatives of someone in the original trilogy. Bounty Hunter, absolutely. A Fett? Waaah. Please don't. The first bit of new SW film news I tend to dislike.

Although Benecio del Toro is an excellent choice.
