J J Abrams Reviews, Interviews & More

Currently, people are predicting a hundred million dollar weekend for Star Trek Into Darkness, a number that may be made possible by the fact that the studio opened the film on Wednesday night. The film pocketed $3.3 Million from those shows, and has a full day today to rake in extra cash so it can say that it crossed the nine digit mark by Sunday.

J.J. Abrams continues to ineffectively cloak his movies with lackluster secrets and an overabundance of lens flares, but he can still create fantastic action sequences that will keep your attention. Star Trek Into Darkness marks the second time we see the S.S. Enterprise and its crew together in action, but in some ways plays as if the lessons of...

Back in the halcyon days of 2009, when the world thought that maybe J.J. Abrams could make a decent Star Trek movie and not just a giant cartoon, rumor had it that the original series villains the Klingons would make an appearance, but they were axed before the film was released (they pop up in a deleted scene, albeit with lumpy metal masks hiding their lumpy...

J.J. Abrams is a busy guy—when he’s not taking the Star Trek original series franchise and rebooting it into a shiny, depth-less cartoon with Star Trek and the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness, he’s taking of the reigns of the Star Wars franchise, seeing as he has been tapped to helm Star Wars Episode VII.  So, will he have time to return for...

Ah, modern movie marketing—there’s nothing quite like it, as studios now feel the need to insult the intelligence of any modern film viewer by more less pumping every single scene of an upcoming film onto the internet, unleashing a torrent of spoilers and leaving nothing to the imagination of ticket buyers.  Now, while Star Trek Into Darkness hasn’t been that bad (look to...

Remember how the Star Trek Into Darkness trailer released earlier this month featured a bizarre amount of similarities to Lethal Weapon 2 (seriously, it did...)?  Well, now we have the international trailer for the film, and it’s bursting at the seams with new footage—including a whole sequence straight out of Godfather III.  Seriously, this...

OK, stay with me just for a second:

As J.J. Abrams and screenwriter Michael Arndt work to develop the sequel Star Wars: Episode VII, news and rumors have begun to swirl that members of the original trilogy’s cast would be included in this new sequel trilogy.  Fanning these flames is the all but confirmed rumor that Harrison Ford will indeed return to star as scoundrel Han Solo, and the fact that Mark...

Another day, another series of hints doled out by J.J. Abrams concerning his next science-fiction film that is shrouded in ambiguity.  The film in question is, of course Star Trek Into Darkness, but no, the hints do not deal with whether or not Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Khan or not.

As much as we're anticipating the release of Star Trek Into Darkness, we just want to know one thing. Who is Benedict Cumberbatch really playing? Is he the John Harrison that's been mentioned previously, or is he playing Khan Noonien Singh, he with the wrath and originally played by Ricardo Montalban? Seriously, is knowing the name of the villain a real spoiler, J.J....

There has been a lot of head-scratching and speculation concerning the new Star Wars films—will they focus on the children of the heroes from the original film?  How many original stars will make cameos or appearances?  Is it possible for a decent Star Wars sequel to exist?—and one of the questions haunting Star Wars fans since J.J. Abrams signed on to direct...

In news that is sure to set a good chunk of the internet to implode in on itself, Harrison Ford has agreed to star in J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: Episode VII as Han Solo.  Yes, you read the correctly—Harrison Ford is returning as Han Solo.

Thanks to the fact that every actor in the film is denying it while all of the film’s marketing seems to suggest it, the question of whether or not classic Star Trek big bad Khan is the villain in Star Trek Into Darkness is driving the Trek fan community bonkers.  For every trailer clip that seems to indicate J.J. Abrams is going full Wrath of...

J.J. Abrams may be an all consuming force of geekdom, not satisfied with simply being the director of Stars both Trek and Wars. No, he also has his sights set on video game adaptations as well, as he's recently implied he hopes to bring the video games Half-Life and/or...

Look, maybe it’s time we give up on the whole “hey, is Khan gonna be in this thing or not?” game with Star Trek Into Darkness, Paramount and J.J. Abrams, because it’s not a fight we’re winning.  Every new trailer or image only serves to confuse the matter further, so maybe we should just be patient and wait until the film’s May 17th release date to see—oh, who am I...

It’s been a topsy-turvy few months for fans of both the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises.  On the Star Trek end of the spectrum, there has been wild and fervid internet speculation as to whether or not director J.J. Abrams would commit the supposed sacrilege of rebooting the classic Trek villain Khan for the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness...

For the past few days everybody under the moon has been giving their own opinion on the huge controversy surrounding former seven time Tour de France cyclist winner, Lance Armstrong. We all know that he was banned from doing any form of professional cycling ever again and was stripped of his awards merely just a few months ago. The guy's been pulled through the mud, and we've...

Another day, another chance to discuss whether or not the villain portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch in Star Trek Into Darkness is Khan, or just some random dude named “John Harrison.”  Fan speculation is rampant, and recent advertising for the film isn’t helping (there’s a brief clip of two hands pressed against glass, referencing the tragic ending...

So it’s finally here—the Star Trek Into Darkness trailer that will answer all your questions, finally reveal who the film’s Big Bad really is, and… er, wait, nevermind.  Yes, it’s a full trailer, but no, we still have no idea what the hell is happening in this movie, aside from the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch is still denying he’s playing Khan and that...

The curtain has been lifted and Paramount has revealed their first official poster for their highly anticipated sequel Star Trek: Into Darkness. While there's already been an overwhelming critique of the style of the poster, you have to admit that you're excited to see J.J. Abrams' latest sci-fi flick. At least, we are.
