Final Wolverine Film To Explore The Father/Son Relationship Between Logan & Xavier!

Since announced earlier this year that Hugh Jackman's 3rd solo Wolverine film will mark is FINAL appearance as Logan, Patrick Stewart has announced that he'll appear in Wolverine 3 alongside Jackman's final chapter.
Fans have been wondering where the final film will take the duo. Rumors have been circulating for ages on what the final film will be about. Hugh Jackman has expressed interest in adapting the "Old Man Logan" comic book arc, and fans have gotten excited about that prospect as well as express their sadness to see the end of Hugh Jackman's, what, 16/17 year rein as Wolverine, well 17 or so once this next solo movie is out.
Hugh Jackman has since announced that the film will dive deep into the relationship between Xavier and Logan, exploring the father/son relationship that's, well, blossomed, through the X-Men franchise. 
I would be happy to see this ending to Jackman's rein as Wolverine. Have his final film with the man who practically was his father figure to him through the franchise. It'll be sad to see them both together for one final time before, we can all assume, Wolverine gets rebooted and a new, younger actor is brought in to take over. 
And on that note, Hugh Jackman has expressed interest to see Mad Max - Fury Road actor, Tom Hardy, take over the Wolverine role. Now that's a not bad piece of fan casting right there people. But, if you don't like that, then I've got one thing to say to you..........

True Detective Star Joins Marvel's Doctor Strange!

Rachel McAdams is the latest actor/actress to be confirmed to join the highly anticipated Doctor Strange movie for Marvel and Disney's MCU. She will be joining Sherlock Holmes himself, Benedict Cumberbatch, who will be playing the title role of Doctor Stephen Strange.
There is no word as of yet which role she will be taking on in the 14th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Word is that she will be playing Clea, who is Strange's lover in the comic book series.

Doctor Who News - The Impossible Girl Is No More......CONFIRMED!!!

Just days after news broke that current companion, Jenna Louise Coleman, was leaving or has already quit Doctor Who, Coleman herself has confirmed yesterday that she will indeed be leaving the show an that she has already filmed her final scenes. She has teased that her final scenes will be emotional for fans to see. Coleman confirmed her departure on BBC Radio 1 show to DJ Nick Grimshaw, 

“I have left the TARDIS, I have, it’s happened. I’ve filmed my last scenes. It was emotional. It’s been in the works for a very long time." 

Jenna Louise added that she discussed her departure over a year ago with Head Writer Steve Moffat. They were discussing what the perfect ending for Clara would be. It's been said that she will be killed off near the end of this new series, which begins tonight on BBC One at 7:40pm. 
Jenna Louise Coleman's Clara Oswald is now the longest lasting companion alongside Karen Gillan's Amy Pond in the NuWho seasons of Doctor Who. Both have lasted a whole three years on the long running British sci-fi show. 
It's going to be sad to see her go but at the end of the day, everyone needs to leave Doctor Who at some point. No one can stay there forever. I wonder how she'll die or who or what will kill her? This could mean that Game Of Thrones actress, Maisie Williams COULD be playing The Doctor's next companion.......

Star Wars Episode VIII Adds An Unusual Suspect?

A week or so back, Guardians Of The Galaxy actor, Benicio Del Toro, pretty much confirmed that he's snatched up an important role in Rian Johnson's Star Wars - Episode VIII. He said that he's signed on to play the films lead villain. Now, that led to some speculation that Adam Driver's villain in this years The Force Awakens, must not survive, which kind of left me in a bit of a shit mood.
Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to see Benicio play a big villain in Star Wars, seeing as he missed out on playing Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness a few years back. In saying that, I don't want us to loose Kylo Ren too quickly like with the demise of Phantom Menace villain, Darth Maul. He was made out to be this bad ass and could've been the Vader of the prequels. I assumed Driver's Kylo Ren was going to be the Vader of the sequels but possibly not now. So here's hoping the same doesn't go with Ren.

THAT WAS LAST WEEK.....
THIS WEEK, I.E. TODAY, DEL TORO TELLS US THIS....

Benicio Del Toro, who only last week or so said he was confident he was signing on and then he said he had and that he was playing the LEAD VILLAIN in Episode VIII, which is set to begin filming later this month, if not already started filming, in Ireland with Mark Hamill, Oscar Issac and John Boyega to be the only actors so far to be confirmed to return for further sequel, MAY not be playing the LEAD VILLAIN in the next sequel. He's still saying he's in the film, but his character may or may not be a villain. He says it's how some people read the scripts and understanding, etc. Some people are kept in the dark with some things, so YES, Del Toro could still be playing the lead villain or a villain or some sort, but maybe his role is kept a secret or underwraps slightly for now, again, only time will tell. All we as fans can do is guess and start theories and shit.

Doctor Who News - Series Nine Titles.....

Fans have finally received confirmation via the BBC on what the titles of all 12 episodes of series nine will be, which starts this Saturday at 7:40pm on BBC One. Happy title then sad title and vice versa. They all have interesting titles, something that hasn't been done before in Doctor Who, especially with the NuWho years.
There's still no confirmation on what this years Christmas Special will be called, as that's been added to the series this year rather than being an episode on it's own, but I'm sure we'll all find out soon enough.

Doctor Who News - Jenna Louise Coleman Has Quit Doctor Who?!

It has been YET AGAIN reported that Doctor Who star, Jenna Louise Coleman, will be bowing out this year as latest companion Clara Oswald. Every year a new series begins and every year rumors claim that Coleman has either quit or is planning to quit or is being killed off, etc. Fans usually take these reports with a grain of salt but this time, insiders are saying that the ex-Emmerdale actress is not part of the cast for this years Christmas Special, which was confirmed last week to feature the grand return of series regular, Alex Kingston as River Song, as she has signed on to a £10 million series for ITV about Queen Victoria, with Coleman playing the title role of Victoria.
This seems to come across more believable that previous reports about her departing as Peter Capaldi's companion. Ever since Game Of Thrones actress, Maisie Williams, signed on for an important role in the new series of Doctor Who, fans have been suggesting that she may indeed be playing the next companion, which would make sense for Coleman to leave.
Williams is rumored to be play The Doctor's granddaughter, Susan, who hasn't appeared on the show fully since 1964 when First Doctor, William Hartnell, left her behind on Earth. It would be very interesting to see if this fan theory is true.
It'll be sad to see Jenna Louise Coleman's Clara Oswald leave the show after all this time but I guess everyone in Doctor Who has to move on and plus, it's Doctor Who..........they always come back, even if they die........

Doctor Who returns to our small screens this Saturday on BBC One at 7:40pm.

Who's Side Will You Choose? New Batman Vs Superman Images.....

Doctor Who News - A Song For Christmas....

Just the other day, it was FINALLY revealed that the amazing Alex Kingston will be returning to Doctor Who this Christmas as Amy and Rory's daughter, River Song. This will mark the first time Song and new Doctor, Peter Capaldi, will meet for the first time since his regeneration from Matt Smith back in 2013. 
River Song has not appeared on Doctor Who since 2013's "The Name Of The Doctor". the episode leading up to the shows big 50th anniversary episode. There's been speculation over the last two years as to wither she'd return or not and now, finally, she is. 
Kingston seems happy to be back as Song, 


To be honest, I did not know whether River would ever return to the show, but here she is, back with the Doctor for the Christmas special. Steven Moffat is on glittering form, giving us an episode filled with humour and surprise guest castings. I met Peter for the first time at Monday’s read through, we had a laugh, and I am now excited and ready to start filming with him and the Doctor Who team. Christmas in September? Why not!” 

Lead Writer, Steven Moffat, seems pleased with bringing back the character too, but isn't giving too much away as to how we'll see her this time and what she'll be like, 


“Another Christmas, another special for Doctor Who - and what could be more special than the return of Alex Kingston as Professor River Song? The last time the Doctor saw her she was a ghost. The first time he met her, she died. So how can he be seeing her again? As ever, with the most complicated relationship in the universe, it’s a matter of time...”

I'm totally happy and excited with this return as River Song is and always will be an amazingly strong character in the NuWho universe. I wonder what's up Moffat's sleeve this time round with the character? I guess only time will tell.

Peter Cushing To Regenerate For Star Wars - Rogue One?

"It's Alive.....It's Alive" is what British actor Peter Cushing shouted out at the top of his voice during his reign as Victor Frankenstein during the 50's/60's/70's in the Hammer Horror films. In December 2016, Star Wars fans will be shouting out the same thing as rumors have began circulating the newspapers and various movie sites saying that Gareth Edwards, director of the 2016 Star Wars anthology spin-off, Rogue One, will be resurrecting original "A New Hope" actor, Peter Cushing as his character Grand Moff Tarkin via the help of the latest state-of-the-art CGI.
The Tarkin character is said to have quite a lengthy pivotal role in the upcoming prequel, which is set between "Revenge Of The Sith" and "A New Hope", showing the further rise of Vader's Empire and the finishing touches on the newly built first Death Star.
I would love to see how Cushing himself comes back to life as his classic and sinister Tarkin character. Hopefully the film makers of this film will go along the lines of how director Alan Taylor brought Arnold Schwarzenegger's younger 80's T-800 Terminator back to life in this years brilliant Terminator revival "Terminator Genisys" by bringing some guy in with the same body type, get the editors to do some heavy research and build themselves a full CGI character through the power of Motion Capture.
And on that note, Gareth Edwards's team ARE in fact looking through hours of archive footage and there's plenty of facial expressions to play about with but not enough full length body shots to go along with as Peter Cushing was a drama queen on set of "A New Hope" and insisted on wearing slippers rather than his costumes black boots.
Tarkin has been brought back for the Star Wars - Rebels tv show, but that's a computer animated series. The only time he's came back in live-action form was with his extremely short-lived 10 seconds or so cameo at the end of 2005's "Revenge Of The Sith", where he shows up on the bridge of one of the star destroyers along with the newly built Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. He was then played by Australian "Farscape" actor, Wayne Pygram.  
I think they should just bring back Pygram and just fill his face up with prosthetic makeup like how they done it in 2005. Either this or just go ahead with the full CGI figure but could that work for nearly a whole film? They could even just bring in an actor who could just take on the role. I have an actor in mind and I've mentioned it to a few people and they say he'd be good and that actor is another fellow "Doctor Who" star, Christopher Eccleston, but I guess only time will tell if it's a success or not.

Star Trek 3 - On Set Pics!

The first set pics from the 2016 Justin Lin helmed Star Trek sequel, Star Trek - Beyond, have leaked online with a first look at Sofia Boutella's unknown alien character and a first look at the new Starfleet uniforms. Boutella looks awesome, the new uniform is smart looking although Simon Pegg is spotted wearing the classic red shirt. Could the suit that Chris Pine's Captain Kirk is wearing be for Captain and Senior Officers only? I just can't wait to see what kind of villain Brit "Luther" actor, Idris Elba will be portraying in the 2016 highly-anticipated sequel, that celebrates the franchises 50th anniversary.
We can assume that classic Captain Kirk, William Shatner will be present in some sort of a way along with his original crew, minus original Bones McCoy, DeForest Kelley, who sadly passed away in the early 90's, original Scotty, James Doohan, who passed away in 2005 and the late great Leonard Nimoy aka Mr Spock, who passed away earlier this year.

CONTRACTS RENEWED FOR A STAR TREK IV?

On other Star Trek related news, during the month of July this year, Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto have reportedly signed on for a fourth film in the rebooted franchise. They have both been given $6 million each for an option to star in a third sequel, should the third film in the franchise be a success.
There's no news as of yet if any of the rest of the cast and signed on or even decided to come back, then again, this quick contract renewal has not yet been confirmed either so take everything with a pinch of salt until Paramount confirm their future plans sometimes within the next year or so.

This IS The Deadpool We've Been Waiting For!

The trailer starts and you feel sorry for this Wade Wilson guy, he's got every bad cancer you can think of and still, he's got his sense of humor. Some guy comes and says we can help you, make you a superhero. Wilson makes a few funny wee comments, no green suit, no CGI suit.....clearly a wee stab or two at Ryan Reynolds failed attempt at playing the Green Lantern back a few years ago. Shit goes down and there's an explosion that leaves our soon to be anti-hero looking like Freddy Krueger's love-child. Still, you feel bad for this guy and then there's like a different feel and tone to the trailer, it gets turned upside down, cue the Deadpool side of Wade Wilson, in all his red and black leather suit glory. Violent as fuck, sweary as fuck.......THIS IS THE DEADPOOL WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! 
Thank you so much for this 20th Century Fox and thank you for giving Reynolds a second, much-needed chance to return as The Merc With The Mouth and what a mouth he has.
Even we don't get to see the movie until February 2016, you already know it's going to be a HUGE success, critically and finacially. A sequel has reportedly been green-lighted by the company already but then again, Fox also green-lighted a 2017 sequel to this years attempt to reboot Marvel's first superhero family, The Fantastic Four and that film has failed terribly, like super duper badly. It's not THAT bad but it was less than fantastic and could've been 100 times better, considering the failures with the previous 2005 incarnation and it's 2007 sequel. But, we must keep our fingers crossed and hope that this Deadpool film is amazing and the planned sequel and hopefully franchise, kicks off nicely! 
Again, until next February, here's the RED BAND trailer for Deadpool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyKWUTwSYAs
