Star Trek Discovery – Main Title Sequence

Star Trek Discovery - Main Title Sequence
Star Trek Discovery premieres tonight on CBS All Access, but you can see the main title sequence right now. It’s different from any other Star Trek title sequence, I’ll give them that. Some are arguing that it feels bland and uninspired. I really can’t argue with that. It seems a bit disorienting to me, as if this title sequence is unsure of what the show is about. It seems to focus on the technology rather than the journey and reminds me of an Apple product pitch. They also tried really hard to mimic Enterprise’s main title vibe. What do you think?

At Last – The Three-Hour Extended Cut of Superman: The Movie Is Coming

At Last - The Three-Hour Extended Cut of Superman The Movie Is Coming
As many of you know, the original Richard Donner Superman movie received a bumper cut—nearly 40 minutes longer—when it aired on TV. And now this cut of the movie is finally being released on Blu-ray. I have been waiting for this one for decades. IMO Superman and Superman II are the greatest superhero movies ever made. And this cut of the original is the absolute best.

In February of 1982, ABC’s two-night broadcast of Superman: The Movie was a three-hour-long version of the movie that featured footage never seen before, giving us more Krypton, more Smallville, more everything. The full 188-minute version that aired over those two February nights has never been officially released, until now. Warner Bros.’ Archive Collection has plans for a brand-new remaster of the extended cut as part of a two film collection that will also include Donner’s definitive director’s cut of the film from 2000. (I’m not a fan of that one, but I’ll gladly buy in to get this extended version.) Aside from that, it will include new special features, including screen tests and documentaries looking at the creation of the movie. It is coming later this year. I can’t wait.

Star Trek Discovery’s New Theme Music

New Trailer For Star Trek Discovery
CBS has released a new featurette for Star Trek: Discovery that features composer Jeff Russo and the score that he created for the opening title sequence of the series. I have to admit it sounds pretty good, even though some parts sound like music from Westworld. Check out the video where Russo is working with a 60-piece orchestra and we get to hear the score. What do you think?

New Trailer For Star Wars Rebels Season 4

New Trailer For Star Wars Rebels Season 4
We have a new trailer for the fourth and last season of Star Wars Rebels, and it looks awesome! This trailer is pretty exciting and fans of the series will love what they see here. There will be a stronger connection with Rogue One this season since the show is in the timeline just before Rogue One. There are Death Troopers in the trailer and Director Orson Krennic is mentioned too. I know that fans are looking forward to season 4.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Extended Groot Scene

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Extended Groot Scene
Sometimes great scenes get cut from movies. That’s just the way it is. Maybe it slows down the movie, or just doesn’t flow right with the movie. It happens. Well, the post credit scene that has young Groot arguing with Star-Lord was cut down in time. Basically Starlord is arguing with Groot that he isn’t boring, and trying to make his point, but Groot doesn’t really give a toss. It’s interesting to see how the versions differ. Pretty funny stuff.

New Trailer for The Osiris Child

New Trailer for The Osiris Child
This new trailer for the upcoming sci-fi action film, The Osiris Child: Science Fiction Volume One looks pretty cool. I have no idea what that subtitle is all about, maybe they are planning some sort of anthology. Regardless, the movie looks pretty entertaining. It looks like well done low budget sci-fi, which is not easy to pull off. This one is definitely on my radar now. Check out the trailer and see what you think.

Set in the future in a time of interplanetary colonisation, Sy (Lutz), a mysterious drifter, meets Kane (MacPherson), a lieutenant working for an off-world military contractor, EXOR. The unlikely pair must work together to rescue Kane’s young daughter (Croft) and reach safety amid an impending global crisis which was brought on by EXOR itself. Teaming up with a pair of renegades (Ford and Lucas), Kane and Sy clash with EXOR in an attempt to escape while battling the savage creatures that roam the barren planet.

Fan-Made Film Adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns

Fan-Made Film Adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns
I really enjoyed Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, and like so many fans I always wondered what a movie version would be like. We’ve seen some elements worked into movies here and there, but never a completely faithful live-action version. Well, filmmaker Wyatt Weed has made his own film adaptation of the 1986 comic. Surprisingly, it is pretty entertaining and well done. He gets so much right here. He made the film with only $2500 over 24 days, over 17 months. It just goes to show you that a movie with heart beats a big budget film any day. Give this guy a meeting with Warner Bros.

New Batplane From The Justice League Unveiled

New Batplane From The Justice League Unveiled
The new Batplane from the Justice League movie has been unveiled and it is huge. It is called the Flying Fox, which is actually the name of a type of bat. So how huge is it? Well, production designer Patrick Tatopoulos told EW that “You can put three Batmobiles in the lower part of it.” There’s also a “cultural center” with computers on the second floor and the cockpit on the third. Batman always has new toys, but damn! This is crazy.
