Today the BBC revealed the 13th incarnation of the Doctor and if you were betting on a woman, this is your lucky regeneration. Whether you wanted a male or female Doctor, let’s just hope that the scripts and the plots are good. That’s what makes great Doctor Who.
Arrow Video’s 4K Blu-ray restoration of John Carpenter’s The Thing arrives in October, but you can pre-order it right now. The cover art is just amazing. Within that fur-trimmed parka there is the movie’s Antarctic setting, the ice cracked ominously. It just seems perfect. Video re-releases so often give us crappy artwork or just bad images, so it is nice to see this.
The Arrow Video release comes packaged in a steelbook with the original Thing art as well. It is limited to just 4,000 units. It will be released October 23.

Lucasfilm and Disney have released a very cool behind-the-scenes video for Star Wars: The Last Jedi! It was shared at D23 by director Rian Johnson and now it’s online for everyone to enjoy. There’s a lot going on here including many new scenes to enjoy. This should get you pumped to see this movie.
This weekend is the 35th anniversary of Blade Runner, and with the new movie coming our way soon, let’s celebrate with a new behind-the-scenes featurette about the sequel. It features much of the cast and crew, showing off the world of 2049 Los Angeles, as well as how Blade Runner 2049 is trying to set itself apart from the original. The previous trailer didn’t have me as excited as I wanted, but this featurette really has me wanting to see the movie. It doesn’t reveal much about the plot, but it really shines a light on the world building that took place to make this film happen.
Blade Runner 2049 hits theaters October 6.

Pixar’s cars franchise isn’t exactly my cup of tea, but had the batmobile shown up, I would have checked out Cars 3 for sure. Well, that almost happened, believe it or not. In a recent interview with Screen Junkies, director Brian Fee talks about an early draft where Lightning McQueen goes to a Hollywood party that would have been full of movie stars, including two different generations of Batmobiles. Obviously, that scene didn’t make the final film, but it would have been a very cool moment. You can check out the interview below.

CBS All Access has announced that Star Trek: Discovery will premiere on Sunday, September, 24th. They even released a motion poster that you can check out below. It features the U.S.S. Discovery in flight.
Other news is that the 15-episode first season will be split into two. The first eight episodes will air on Sundays from September 24th through November 5th. The season then will resume in January 2018. I’m trying to keep an open mind about this show, but they make it hard. It just seems like they are failing on every level here. BUT, fingers crossed that somehow it is a good Star Trek. I can’t see how, but one can only hope.

Marvel Studios has released a new Black Panther teaser trailer for the new Black Panther movie and it looks both fresh and awesome. It is nice to see that they are apparently not just doing the same old thing. It looks like a lot of thought went into this. I love the look of the film so far, based on this teaser at least. It looks like a fun movie.
Black Panther follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.
The film will be released on February 16, 2018.
Marvel has released the third trailer for Spider-Man Homecoming, directed by Jon Watts. This trailer features Peter Parker testing out his new high-tech suit while learning to be a hero. This trailer has lots of great action. Spider-Man: Homecoming will be hitting theaters on July 7th, 2017.
We have waited long enough. Now we finally have a trailer for Star Trek: Discovery. I really like what I see, but at the same time, in a way, it doesn’t feel like Star Trek. That may be a good thing. Time will tell. This is a great first trailer in any event and I want to see more. A couple of things: The Klingons are… Strange. What’s with the lens flares? Between that and other visual cues, this feels like New-Trek. Hmmmm. The level of technology and polished look of everything seems off for just 10 years before Kirk and Crew. Still, I’ll see where they take things before I complain too loudly.
No mercy, no peace. 20th Century Fox has released the final trailer for War for the Planet of the Apes and there is certainly more war in this War For The Planet Of The Apes trailer. This is the third film in the rebooted Planet of the Apes series that began with Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The humans and the apes are fighting to the death for who gets the planet. The movie is set to hit theaters on July 14th, 2017.
In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.
