Top Ten Comic Books For April 2015

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20574:]]

The Force is strong with Star Wars, but not for the rest of Marvel comics for the month of April.

Only the Star Wars comics from Marvel managed to grace the top ten, with four of the ten being Star Wars related.

DC Comics took the rest of the six with their new Convergence event and Batman.

Things will more than likely shift Marvel’s way in May as Secret Wars just launched.

Marvel Comics still managed to take the top dollar and unit share for Apri, so it’s not like they have anything to complain about.

Below you can check out the charts via Diamond.

Diego Luna Cast In Star Wars: Rogue One

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20528:]]

It’s being said Diego Luna has been cast in the Star Wars spinoff, Star Wars: Rogue One.

Variety reports Luna has landed a lead role alongside Felicity Jones.

It’s further said Riz Ahmed has been cast in Star Wars: Rogue One along with Ben Mendelsohn who will play the primary villain.

Diego Luna recently starred in Blood Father with Mel Gibson, has Mr. Pig in post-production, and has written, produced and directed many other films.

The plot of Star Wars: Rogue One will revolve around the heist of the Death Star plans by a group of rebel fighters, with Jones starring as one of the rebel soldiers. 

Both Ahmed and Luna are said to be playing rebel fighters.

The report also mentions the cast of Star Wars: Rogue One will be a large ensembler similar to The Dirty Dozen and Saving Private Ryan.

Star Wars: Rogue One has a December 16, 2016 release directed by Gareth Edwards.

Carrie Fisher’s Daugher Shoots Down Star Wars: The Force Awakens Rumor

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20519:]]

There is a rumor floating online that Carrie Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, will be playing a young Princess Leia in Star Wars: The Force Awakens – meaning a flashback scene would be featured in the movie (something I believe hasn’t happened in any of the Star Wars films).

Lourd recently addressed the rumor and stated it isn’t true, but did confirm she has a role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

“That’s a lie. That’s a rumor,” Billie Lourd told ETOnline. “I wish I played a young princess. I can’t talk to you about the character, or the lack of character. I didn’t even say that. That was too much.”

Billie Lourd also stars on FOX’s upcoming Scream Queens.

Joss Whedon A Possibility For Star Wars: Episode IX

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20464:]]

With Joss Whedon done with Marvel, at least for the time being, possibly there is only one way for the director to go and that is up.

It’s being speculated/guessed/rumored that Whedon may be in the running to direct Star Wars: Episode IX.

An apparently fan podcast joked about the possibility of Whedon directing a Star Wars movie in which Making Star Wars caught wind of it and stated it’s a possibility.

We were told “It is extremely possible”.

It feels like the rumors are getting going because the possibility exists. It is possible. It almost seems crazy to imagine they never had a meeting or haven’t had a meeting just to discuss the possibilities. Maybe that’s what happened here?

Most would agree that Disney doesn’t want to lose Whedon. Giving him some Star Wars is one way of keeping him in the fold. It would also allow him to work on another project before starting on Star Wars: Episode IX. But for what it is worth, I only heard his name for the second Anthology a few times as well [as a replacement for Josh Trank], within the last week and that seems a bit beneath him after doing both Avengers films.

Interestingly enough, Whedon recently did state he has interest in directing a Star Wars film as he told IGN:

Right now I’d be interested in a long nap! But are you kidding? It’s Star Wars! It’s always going to be Star Wars!

I rule out nothing. But I think it would not be my choice. You have two enormously strong, very textured universes. To say we have just the one would be to in some way dilute them. I think it makes sense to keep them in their own time, which I believe was long ago and not so close by.

Whedon also told Collider he wouldn’t want to use the characters or storylines from the original Trilogy, but something new, which more than likely with Star Wars: Episode IX being the last in the new Trilogy would feature:

You know, I wouldn’t go back, I’d go forward. I would want to create characters that would resonate the way that they did. I mean not that I don’t want to see [the new movies], I would be excited to, but I also feel like I would want to explore a very different part of that universe.

Josh Trank Fired From Star Wars Because Of Fantastic Four Problems

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20331:]]

Disney just announced that Josh Trank had left Star Wars, and now details as to the possible reasoning behind the departure are becoming known.

THR is now stating that Trank was fired from Star Wars due to problems on the set of Fox’s Fantastic Four movie.

Actually, word first surfaced about problems with Trank’s behavior while filming Fantastic Four months ago as anonymous posts on the TigerDroppings.com message boards surfaced in November 2014 that mirror THR’s own report.

One anonymous poster even stated Trank would not be doing the spinoff (or any other movies for that matter):

Trank did so much damage to the house that Jim Gianopulos came to Baton Rouge and personally apologized to the owners. Trust me, Trank’s career is done. There will be no major study sequels or spin offs for him. He’ll be lucky to get the sequel to a Stabbing at Leia’s 21st Birthday.

Another post reads:

After the crap Trank pulled in Baton Rouge, i doubt he ever directs a studio picture again. He will certainly never work for Fox. At this point that F4 reboot might never get released.

Another:

A buddy of mine was on the crew. Trank showed up to set late or so high he couldn’t speak almost everyday. Some days he didn’t show up at all. He treated crew terribly. He trashed the house the production company rented for him. From what I’m told he did a couple hundred grand worth of damage.

Another post says that Trank was fired following filming:

Also heard he was fired after wrapping and other are working on it post production.

Note: The THR reports states “producers Simon Kinber and Hutch Parker had to step in to help pull the film together” and “given the issues with Trank’s performance, the production added Stephen Rivkin to help pull the film together.”

The TigerDroppings message board also stated major reshoots were taking place in LA:

I am working with some of the crew on another movie down here. They were told FF is reshooting the entire third act in LA because of how bad it came out.

THR seems to downplay the reshoots as well as the damage to the house. THR states “small dogs” were responsible for $100,000 in damage to the house, and regarding the reshoots, THR says the actors only re-filmed on weekends due to other commitments, and that the most recently reshoots took place at the end of April. Kinberg actually had to leave recent filming on X-Men: Apocalypse to help finish Fantastic Four.

THR’s report does offer the following regarding Trank’s issues:

…sources say reports of the young director’s unusual conduct during the making of Fox’s upcoming Fantastic Four movie had raised alarm among Lucasfilm executives that were entrusting him with the second Star Wars standalone film.

…behavior described by one insider as “erratic” and at times “very isolated.” Trank did not offer clear direction, this person adds, saying, “If you’ve got someone who can’t answer questions or who isn’t sure or is in hiding, that’s not good.”

…A Fox spokesman says the studio is “very happy with the movie and we can’t wait for audiences to see it” but acknowledges, “There were definitely some bumps in the road.”

…Trank seemed “like one of these kids who comes to the NBA with all the talent and none of the character-based skills to handle it. There’s equipment he doesn’t yet have.”

…According to sources, Trank was sometimes indecisive and uncommunicative.

THR also says Simon Kinberg, who wrote/produced Fantastic Four and produces Star Wars, is the one to have communicated his displeasure with Trank straight to LucasFilm’s Kathleen Kennedy. As the Disney exes heard more about the problems, it’s said “they became less confident in handing over the film to him.”

The Star Wars spinoff is slated for a May 2018 release; “Fantastic Four” hits this August.

Josh Trank Departs Star Wars Spinoff

Disney has announced that Josh Trank has departed the Star Wars spinoff.

Trank was to direct the second of the Star Wars spinoffs, following Gareth Edwards’ own, which has a May 2018 release.

According to the official info, Trank decided to leave. 

“After a year of having the incredible honor of developing with the wonderful and talented people at Lucasfilm, I’m making a personal decision to move forward on a different path.” Trank said in a statement released by StarWars.com. “I’ve put a tremendous amount of thought into this, and I know deep down in my heart that I want to pursue some original creative opportunities. That said, the Star Wars universe has always been one of my biggest influences, and I couldn’t be more excited to witness its future alongside my millions of fellow Star Wars fans. I want to thank my friends Kathleen Kennedy, Kiri Hart, Simon Kinberg, and everyone at Lucasfilm and Disney for the amazing opportunity to have been a part of this. May the Force be with you all.”

Lucasfilm VP of Development Kiri Hart added: “It was a privilege to collaborate with Josh.  We are grateful for the energy and love of Star Wars that he brought to the process, and we wish him all the best.”

No replacement director has been announced as-of-yet.

Josh Trank has Fantastic Four for Fox coming out this August.

Marvel Phase 2 Contains Same Star Wars Easter Eggs

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20174:]]

It seems just about everyone missed this one as Kevin Feige has let it be known he included the same Star Wars Easter Egg in each of the Marvel Phase 2 movies.

Speaking with CinemaBlend, Feige said he is a big Star Wars fan and offered:

So is this a spoiler for Ant-Man… not really. I’m obsessed with Star Wars. Who’s not? I’m 40 years old. I’m in the movie business. I went to USC. So I’m obsessed with Star Wars – and it didn’t start out as intentional, but it became intentional, including that beat that you referenced. It sort of happens in every Star Wars movie, but I was sort of looking at it, ‘Okay, is Phase Two our Empire Strikes Back?’ Not really, but tonally things are a little different. Somebody gets their arm cut off in every Phase Two movie. Every single one.

Regarding the Easter Eggs:

Iron Man 3 featured Guy Pearce’s character, Aldrich Killian, getting his arm cut off by Tony Stark when he heats up Iron Man’s suit and the end of the movie.

Thor 2 features Thor getting his arm “cut off” by Loki.

Captain America 2 features a flashback where Bucky had his own arm cut off when he fell from the train in Captain America: The First Avenger.

James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy also had a similar Star Wars Easter Egg with Gamora cutting Groot’s arm off (this might be the enigmatic Easter Egg Gunn keeps referring to that he says everyone missed).

Those are the Star Wars Easter Eggs known to date as The Avengers 2 is yet to be released – so be on the look out for someone getting their arm cut off just like Luke Skywalker from Empire Strikes Back.

Po Dameron (Oscar Isaac): He’s the best frickin‘ guy in the galaxy. That’s who he is. He’s been sent on a mission by a certain princess and he ends up coming across Mr. John Boyega’s character, and their fates are forever intertwined.
