The 50th Anniversary of Star Trek is almost upon us, and what other way to celebrate it, than with a new Star Trek film, Star Trek - Beyond.
Beyond is the latest instalment in the rebooted JJ Abrams helmed universe, although, he isn't directing this time round, only producing, due to his commitments with Star Wars - The Force Awakens, when both were filming at the same time.
ST-B is said to have some nice wee nods to celebrate the franchises big 50th and will also honour the great Leonard Nimoy, who sadly passed away last year. Some are hoping for a cameo from some of the older cast members, William Shatner is fav to return. The film brings back cast members, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg (also co-writting the movie), Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, and new cast members, such as Idris Elba, playing the new lead villainess alien, Krall, and Sofia Boutella as Taylah (pictured below).
Fast & Furious director, Justin Lin, takes the helm this time round. Some people are happy with that and some aren't, having seen the first trailer for the new 2016 sequel. I for one loved the look of the film in the first trailer, it was fast-paced, action-packed, and an all round Star Trek film of the new generation!!! Link to the first trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrMyXLWAgdk
Today, a second trailer has been released and it has a more traditional Trekkie feel to it, which I think more fans will enjoy. Maybe the first trailer was a tad bit too action-packed for some peoples liking, a bit too Star Trek III - Fast And Furious-ish?
Anyway, have a look and see for yourself, but I think THIS could be the best Star Trek film to date and here's hoping, it's successful enough to carry on and before we know it, we could be sitting watch a Star Trek IV and Star Trek V.

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.
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.

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.

Producers Looking For New Bond Already?
While speaking to "SKYFALL" actress Naomi Harris let slip that the studio behind the Bond franchise are already looking ahead for the next actor to take over the role of James Bond once Daniel Craig leaves. Craig recently confirmed that he has signed on for two more films after his 23rd adventure as the British secret spy. Harris named British black actor, Idris Elba and said that he had recently met with producers about a role in a future Bond film(s). Elba has been rumoured to be a extremely strong contender for the role and he said that he would love to get the chance to play Bond.
Here's what Harris said about Elba meeting with the producers,
I personally think he would be a great James Bond, but how would you explain the sudden change in the characters change in skin colour? You can explain it when it comes to The Doctor regenerating, but Bond, you can't. Elba is 40 and by the time Craig finishes off with his final two films, Elba could be about 45/46 at the most and by that time could be too old for the role. I still want to see Michael Fassbender get the role though.
Here's what Harris said about Elba meeting with the producers,
"I didn’t realize that there was this talk and then I did a film with Idris [Elba] and he said that he met Barbara Broccoli [James Bond producer] and that it does seem like there is a possibility in the future that there could very well be a black James Bond. And I would have to vote for Idris because I just finished working with him and he’s a great guy."

Two New Trailers For "Prometheus"
I've realised that I haven't really been posting much on the upcoming slight "Alien" prequel, "Prometheus" and now I should since the films release date is just around the corner. So here's a bunch of images that have been released over the past few months and here's the link to the amazing new trailer that hit UK televisions the other night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIJeQNyZ6VE
And here's one from last month: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lVaXHLD0y8

My "RoboCop" Fan-Casting!
Now I know the new Robo has been cast, but I still want to do my own "fan cast" featuring my own casting of not just Robo himself, but the whole entire film too. Now I'm casting this film with a slightly older cast than what the upcoming reboot will do with a much younger cast. So let's stat with RoboCop.
Timothy Olyphant As RoboCop
I've always stuck by Olyphant. I'd cast Olyphant in pretty much anything that comes up. He never get's the best of roles. He needs to be appriciated a lot more. This is why I've cast him, because in "Hitman" he was insane and had robot-like movements, which was amazing.
Idris Elba As Sgt Reed
British actor, Idris Elba would is the only black actor that I know that would be perfect for the role of Sgt Reed. And basically that's it on this role.
Jeffery Dean Morgan as Clarence Boddicker
Morgan is a bad-ass motherfucker!!! He would totally destroy Robo when he gets his hand on him. I could cast him as Cain for a reboot sequel too. Or just switch it all around and have it that Cain and Clarence are working together in the new reboot.
Malin Akerman As Officer Anne Lewis
She's hot and she fits the role of Robo's right-hand partner. I just want to see her running around in a police uniform too.
Jackie Earl Haley As Emil
Haley looks very similar to the guy who played the original Emil. He's short, bald, strange looking facial hair and has an earring, so he'd be perfect. He's Clarence's right hand man.
Martin Sheen As The CEO Of OCP (The Old Man)
Martin Sheen is old enough to play him and I just thought fuck it, he'll do!
Tobin Bell As OCP Vise President, Dick Jones
Tobin Bell looks as though he can act like a cocky bastard, so I gave it a try and cast him as Dick Jones in the upcoming reboot.
Garret Dillahunt As Leon Nash
I just think he plays great villains in TV shows and films, hence why I'd cast him in this as a villain and the only villain character left is Leon Nash, Clarence's other left hand man.
Michael C Hall As Bob Morton
And finally we come to the creator of the RoboCop programme, Bob Morton. I would seriously cast "Dexter" star Michael C Hall in the role of the creator.
