star trek into darkness Reviews, Interviews & More
The Purge supposedly cost $3 Million to make, which -- by Hollywood math -- means the film was in profit sometime on Friday. The truth of profitability is likely to be far more complicated, but there is no way this isn't a gigantic win, and that the film is already setting up a sequel makes all the sense in the world. The Internship? Much...
On paper, who would think that Will Smith could be beat by a movie about magicians that starred that guy from The Social Network? Well, that's exactly what happened. Both were behind Fast and Furious 6, but this is big blow to the Will Smith dynasty. No question.
We're a long ways away from the glory days of Will Smith's box office run. In fact it was over fifteen years ago when Smith saved the world in Independence Day and busted aliens in Men in Black. They launched him into the A-list, and he was once considered "the last movie star," but a prolonged absence from the screen, and with huge changes...
There are two things to talk about this weekend. One is that Fast and Furious 6 killed it on the big screen. The other is that The Hangover Part III (profitably) ate dirt. It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.
Has the tide turned against The Hangover Part III? It seems likely as the previous movie opened to a $10 Million midnight gross, while the latest opened to a paltry (in comparison) $3 Million. Then again, that's what Star Trek Into Darkness did as well in the same time frame the weekend before, and it got to $85 Million for it's four day...
Star Trek Into Darkness opened Thursday, and there was hope that the film would smash past the $100 Million dollar mark over its four day opening. That it didn't, that its three day number was less than the Friday through Sunday opening of the original, and that -- if you factor in that the new film is in 3D and Imax and the first film was not -- it sold less tickets...
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...
Within the span of a few years suddenly filmmaker J.J. Abrams has turned into the go-to person to handle monstrous science fiction franchises. First he helped revive the Star Trek movie series, and now he's taking over the next film addition to the Star Wars universe. Some of us are wondering how he'll be able to have time to work on both Star...
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...
In the next two days it will be officially the start of the summer season. Within the month of May we're already being flooded with a number of high adrenaline blockbuster films, Star Trek Into Darkness being one of them. While we're still waiting to hear whether or not the sequel is any good, or a direct rip-off of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,...
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...
Just on the off chance that Star Trek fans were finished up with their rabid obsessing as to whether or not Star Trek Into Darkness was more or less a loose reimagining of the original series’ Khan plotline, Paramount has released the first full scene from the film via AOL, which features Spock willing to sacrifice himself (just as he did in Star Trek II: The...
The endless speculation as to whether or not Benedict Cumberbatch’s “John Harrison” character is really the classic Star Trek villain Khan shows no sign of abating, and this newest viral video on behalf of Star Trek Into Darkness’ PR campaign is not helping matters. In it, Harrison leaves a cranky message about his personal dislike for Kirk in the...
The final trailer for the highly anticipated Star Trek Into Darkness shows us a defeated Captain Kirk and very angry John Harrison. There's only one month left before the J.J. Abrams epic hits theaters, and if you weren't all that excited for the film, this lengthy, action-packed trailer will definitely get you on board.
The marketing team behind J.J. Abrams' second Star Trek movie, Star Trek Into Darkness, has had a busy morning today. Not only did they release eight high-quality photos, but they've also revealed an international poster featuring a fierce-looking Benedict Cumberbatch. He sort of looks like The Governor from The Walking Dead, minus the eye patch and and wearing...
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...
The biggest mystery surrounding Star Trek Into Darkness is the long standing question about who Benedict Cumberbatch is playing. When the first still was released, the name attached to the character was John Harrison, but that didn't seem right. Could he be a new character, or would he be a famous villain from Star Trek's rich history?...
OK, stay with me just for a second:
