THR reports JJ Abrams’ Star Wars will have the large screen IMAX format all to itself in North America and foreign markets when it debuts December 18th.
It’s noted the move for IMAX isn’t unheard of, but is a bit unusual, as the last time something similar occurred was four years go when the three Hobbit movies took over IMAX and were the only IMAX movies shown.
It’s expected that Star Wars: The Force Awakens will break the IMAX opening-weekend record, which is currently held by Jurassic World with $44.2 million, having recently passed Disney’s Iron Man 3 ($28.8 million).
In total, it’s expected that Star Wars: The Force Awakens will open in 700-800 IMAX locations worldwide, with around half in the U.S.
“Star Wars: Episode VII is the ultimate crossover movie — it crosses over to everyone,” Imax Entertainment CEO Greg Foster said in a statement, with it noted Abrams shot scenes for Star Wars: The Force Awakens in IMAX.
Regarding the competition, it’s mentioned the November releases of Sony’s James Bond Spectre and Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2 will wind down their IMAX screenings by the opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Warner Bros.’ In the Heart of the Sea, which opens December 11th, will get only one week in Imax.
It’s even suggested that Star Wars: The Force Awakens could dominate IMAX screenings past the initial four weeks.
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has a December 18, 2015 release directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has a December 18, 2015 release directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer.

Margot Robbie lets it be known she has dodged the proverbial bullet as prior to Suicide Squad, she was up for the role of Invisible Woman Sue Storm in the Josh Trank Fantastic Four movie which went to Kate Mara.
Prior to Suicide Squad wrapping, Robbie spoke with the NY Daily News about FF.
“I didn’t really resonate with the script, and I haven’t seen the movie, so I don’t really know how it turned out different from the page,” Robbie said of Fantastic Four. “But I had a great meeting with the director [Josh Trank] and I really enjoyed that. I guess it’s part of the game: sometime you win some, sometimes you lose some.”
It ended up working out that David Ayer would cast Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, the side kick to Jared Leto’s Joker, a role, which by all accounts, looks to be a blockbuster for Robbie.
“What he’s doing with the character is so cool,” she said of Leto as the Joker. “At first it was kind of confronting (to be up close) but now I’m so used to it, I think if I ever saw him out of makeup now I would be really confused.”
Margot Robbie also offered her character is just as crazy as the Joker.
“I guess the one common denominator is we’re all bad guys, it just makes everything more fun that way,” Robbie offered. “The scenes are more interesting I feel, when you just don’t know how the characters are going to react, especially with Harley, who’s absolutely nuts… she’s either going to kill you or laugh and give you a hug.”
“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.
That’s exactly what James Gunn confirmed on Facebook, but quickly caught himself and stated it’s for the sequel.
A fan asked Gunn: “Will Vin Diesel be back in GOTG3?”
Gunn replied, “Yes.”
Another fan noticed the question and inquired about Gunn confirming Vin Diesel for Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
Gunn replied back, “No – he means 2 and that’s what I was responding to. Stop it.” Gunn also further commented: “Believe me I have to be careful because it will be picked up as my confirming 3.”
“I knew for a long time what the story of the second one was gonna be,” Gunn said, before teasing, “And the third one!”
“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” has a May 5, 2017 release.
Vin Diesel brought “I Am Groot” to life not only for English audiences, but for fans around the globe. Check out behind-the-scenes footage of Vin Diesel recording Groot in foreign languages for Guardians of the Galaxy:

At the time, Bentley was starring in Interstellar for Nolan.
Now while appearing on Larry King, Bentley makes it known he always wanted to play Batman.
“I did always want to play Batman,” Bentley told King, with King replying he would have made a great Batman. “I liked Batman, because he had no super powers.”
King again remarks Bentley would have been a good Bruce Wayne.

One of the most anticipated comic book movies – if not the most anticipated – to come out next year is Suicide Squad. The trailer initially leaked online following Comic-Cn, and then when officially released took the world by storm. It’s amassed over 50 million views on YouTube alone as well.
Deadline caught up with Viola Davis, who is playing Amanda Waller, to get her take on the movie to date:
I have one more day [of filming], which I’m flying out for this weekend. I’ve been working on the film since April 1st. It sounds like a lot, but I haven’t been working every day. I haven’t done a lot of comic book movies, actually I’ve done none! DC Comics have a tendency to have darker characters. You know, Batman is a darker character, Harley Quinn, the Joker, and what David Ayer has managed to do is humanize them. I think that you see it in the trailer too–just something different about it that makes you lean in. What he’s explored is the pathology behind all of these characters, so you just get that extra spin that gives you the flavor and a look which is very different. And at the same time you get all the stuff that you’ve gotten before, which is the action, the special effects, the great makeup. I’m blown away by the movie. Once I saw the trailer, I was like, “Oh, my God. He really is a magician.” I mean, I had no idea. So, it’s been a real pleasure working on it with David Ayer.
“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.
While Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow doesn’t look to be getting a movie any time soon, it’s being rumored that Marvel Studios may be going forth with a female Blade movie.
Bleeding Cool cites sources in the know that state the reason for the delay in launching the new female Blade Marvel Comics comic book is because the character will be featured in a new Blade movie.
It’s suggested that Snipes may return for a possible fatherly role.
Blade launched back in 1998 becoming a billion dollar franchise and spawning sequels. The rights recently reverted back to Marvel, so if the rumors are true, Marvel may be further diversifying their line with a female Blade flick. Presently, Marvel only has Captain Marvel in the works as their sole female movie project.
The female Ghostbusters have two words for you — Girl Power.
Melissa McCarthy posted the following image from the set of Ghostbusters on Instagram.
“3 cheers to @theellenshow from all the remarkable women of #ghostbusters,” McCarthy added. “When we stand together we are unstoppable! #girlpower”
“Ghostbusters” has a July 15, 2016 release directed by Paul Feig starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Chris Hemsworth, Neil Casey will play the villain of the movie, and Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray are confirmed to return.
Now, however, the info is being contradicted as Den Of Geek is stating a source has filed them in that while it’s true George Miller is in talks with WB for a DC movie, it might not be for the Man of Steel sequel as Man of Steel 2 is on “permanent hold.” It’s said what Miller directs depends on what interests him.
Regarding Man of Steel 2 being on hold, there may be some validity to it as I was told a while back, WB wanted Man of Steel to hit a billion dollars at the box office and were disappointed with its $668 million gross. When it didn’t do as well as they wanted, they chose to go with Batman Vs. Superman instead of another Superman movie.
There is evidence of this as following the debut of Man of Steel, there was talk of a sequel being green lit, and in lots of interviews, Zack Snyder, David Goyer and Henry Cavill were all pushing for more Superman prior to Justice League, as well as stating Superman was their first costumed super hero and go-to guy.
Obviously things changed with the addition of Ben Affleck and Batman to the scene. From what I’ve been told, Goyer wrote a Man of Steel sequel script/treatment that was more or less combined with a standalone Batman script, which ended up becoming Batman Vs. Superman. When Affleck was brought on board, his Argo writer came with him, Chris Terrio, and did further rewrites.
Around the same time also saw Jeff Robinov forced out of WB, with Kevin Tsujihara taking over as WB CEO.
Regarding another Superman movie, when the Justice League slate of DC movies was announced, there was also mention of doing further Superman movies. More than likely if Batman vs. Superman is a smashing success (i.e. billion dollars), there will probably be another standalone Superman flick down the road.
“X-Men: Apocalypse” has a May 27, 2016 release directed by Bryan Singer starring Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, Evan Peters, Ian McKellen, Rose Byrne, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp and Oscar Isaac.

In 2016, one of the most successful animated franchises in the world returns with its biggest comedy adventure yet, KUNG FU PANDA 3.

But when the supernatural villain Kai begins to sweep across China defeating all the kung fu masters, Po must do the impossible—learn to train a village full of his fun-loving, clumsy brethren to become the ultimate band of Kung Fu Pandas!
It seems the more that has come out that has been cut from Fantastic Four, the better the movie actually sounds.
Surprised?
The latest reveal is of concept art featuring Doom’s Planet Zero Castle that never made its way into the movie.
Artist Steve Jung posted the following Fantastic Four concept art images on Facebook adding:
Might as well show some work from this movie called Fantastic Four lol. I was on this one early on before all the drama happened… none of my work made it to the movie (kinda glad) since it got changed many times after I left the project. Exploration of the Planet Zero and Victor’s castle ideations. Btw the texture of the terrain is cigarette buds from a picture of the director’s ashtray.
