  • Pandemic Thriller Carriers Gets Limited Release

    CarriersIn the brutal world of Hollywood, some movies end up sitting on a shelf for years. Others get only a limited release. Carriers — the thriller from directors Alex and David Pastor that follows Star Trek's Chris Pine and a group of survivors as they travel cross country to find a place safe from the virus that has plagued the country — suffers both.

    Carriers waited three years before getting its September 4 release date, which looks to be only a limited release for the following cities: Philadelphia, Phoenix, Atlanta, Detroit, Denver, Minneapolis, Portland, Charlotte, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh. No reason was given for why Carriers is foregoing the larger markets of Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.

    The movie has a promising trailer and a plot that seems to be the dramatic flip side of the upcoming zombie comedy Zombieland. However, while the Pastor brothers see Carriers as a horror movie, they don't want it to be confused for a zombie flick.

    We definitely wanted to stay away from the zombie genre, and even if many people who've seen the trailer will think that there are zombies in the movie, there really aren't. In Carriers, when you catch the virus, you get sick and eventually die. They don't chase you down hallways! We wanted to make a film where the enemy was not something alien and external (zombies, vampires, etc., even if we love these genres), but something much closer: other people and, eventually, our own worst instincts. The virus is what turns people against each other, in their struggle to survive. That's not to say that there aren't scary moments in the movie. There are!

    Given Carriers' history, it seems odd for the directors to discourage zombie fans from embracing the movie — even if it is just fans in 10 select cites.

  • Green Lantern Screenwriter Offers an Update

    Green LanternGreen Lantern co-screenwriter Marc Guggenheim spoke to SciFiWire and updated the status of the movie's script and casting issues. Guggenheim had just delivered a new draft of the script, which he says focuses on the first Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, and how he becomes part of the Green Lantern Corps.

    You know, there's no desire on anyone's part to completely change the character and just call this other character Green Lantern and try to ... draft off the name recognition. This is all about "How do we bring the best version of this character to the silver screen?" We've drawn heavily from ... a lot of different sources in terms of the comic books.... The character ... is several decades old, so ... we've really had an incredible amount of source material to cherry-pick from.

    While Guggenheim says no decision in casting has been made, he did address some of the recent rumors that had either Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) or Chris Pine (Star Trek) cast in the lead role.

    They're all false. I mean, they're all false insofar as we haven't chosen anyone yet. They're still in the negotiations, you know? There's a lot of names being talked about, and there's a lot of people being met, and a lot of ... actors reading the script. But if you read online [that] Pauly Shore's been cast as Hal Jordan, I can guarantee you we have not cast anyone.

    Pauly Shore? Did Guggenheim perhaps mean Brian Austin Green, who's been openly campaigning for the role? In any case, note that while Guggenheim didn't exactly agree to Shore, but he didn't say no either. So, there's a chance! Keep your fingers crossed, Pauly!

    Green Lantern starts shooting this summer in Australia and arrives in theaters on June 17, 2011. Martin Campbell will direct the production.

  • Bradley Cooper to Play Green Lantern?

    Bradley CooperChris Pine and Sam Worthington have something in common other than their respective movies Star Trek and Terminator Salvation opening in May: they have both been mentioned as possible candidates for the lead role in Green Lantern. While no final decision has been made yet, HitFix reports that Bradley Cooper (Wedding Crashers) is a strong contender to wear the green power ring and is pretty close to landing the coveted role.

    While some fans may question the choice of the relatively unknown Cooper for a $150 million budgeted blockbuster movie, Cooper may rocket to stardom if his upcoming The Hangover succeeds at the box office this summer.

  • Kirk Runs for His Life in Star Trek Ice Planet Clip

    Star TrekEarlier trailers and TV spots have provided short glimpses of the confrontation between Kirk (Chris Pine) and one very large, nasty-looking critter after another on the ice planet Delta Vega. Now Paramount has officially released a longer clip of the chase. Clearly unprepared for the first monster, a "polarilla," which appears to be all muscles and claws, and teeth and fur, Kirk starts to run for his life, with no plausible escape in sight. Then out of nowhere, the polarilla is taken out by some sort of even more menacing and alien-looing lobster monster, and Kirk has to take to his heels again, only to fall down an icy cliff. This high-action sequence -- a clear homage to an iconic scene in the Empire Strikes Back -- definitely lives up to the roller-coaster-ride description that J.J. Abrams has been giving the movie.

  • Nimoy Needed Direction to Play Spock in Star Trek

    You would think that Leonard Nimory would know the intricacies of playing Spock like the back of his hand, considering he's been portraying the character for nearly forty years. But Nimoy wasn't afraid to go to director J.J. Abrams for advice. Nimoy told Entertainment Weekly:

    It was clear [Abrams] was nervous, and I'm glad he got over it. Look, I had been away from the character for a long time. His input was important to me.

    It's still a mystery just exactly how the elder Spock will fit into the Starfleet Academy-set reboot, but with Eric Bana portraying a time-travelling Romulan with a grudge against Chris Pine's James T. Kirk, it's possible Nimoy's Spock may actually meet young Spock, portrayed by Zachary Quinto.

  • William Shatner Optimistic About Star Trek

    William Shatner has high hopes for Star Trek movie

    When you think of Star Trek, it's hard not to think of William Shatner as James T. Kirk, Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise. Shatner portrayed the character on television and in film for more than 30 years and even voiced the character in a short-lived animated series.

    However, with J.J. Abrams' relaunch of the franchise just around the corner, a whole new generation of fans are going to experience Star Trek with newcomer Chris Pine in the captain's chair.

    Though he won't be appearing in the film, Shatner has high hopes that the film will be successful, opening up the door for the original Kirk to live again. In a recent interview, Shatner said:

    When they were thinking about doing the movie, they talked to me a couple of times, I don't know what it really was all about, and then they stopped talking to me and went their way. But you just know it's going to be wonderful because J.J. Abrams is such a good moviemaker. I just regret that I'm not a part of it. But if it's successful, then maybe there will be a call.

  • Green Lantern Movie Gets $150 Million Budget and a Studio in Sydney

    Green LanternThe Hollywood Reporter has put a number on the amount of money that Warner Bros will be laying down for the Green Lantern movie. Reportedly, the $150M figure is about the same that they shelled out for their most recent super movie Watchmen.

    We almost had a nerdgasm when script details came out last summer. The proposed storyline is gigantic in scale, and if loyally followed, it won't be your typical earth-bound comic book movie, but a space saga of epic proportions -- complete with cosmic battles requiring tons of sweet SFX. It could clearly be kick-ass, and this budget bodes well for the post-production quality of this movie.

    Also noted in the news is a release date of December 2010, and the filming location confirmation over at Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia, where the recent decline of the Australian dollar should help stretch that $150 million budget even further. The studio choice may have also been a part of the Warners/Fox legal settlement over Watchmen -- sheer speculation on our part, but still interesting to note.

    Now everything is nailed down except a lead actor. So, expect an announcement soon of the star who will slip on the power ring. All are rumors at this point, but some names that have been bandied about are Ryan Gosling, Trekkers Anton Yelchin, Chris Pine and ex-90210er Brian Austin Green -- who has a winning name for the role.

  • Brian Austin Green Lantern?

    Brian Austin GreenWhile Green Lantern fans don't have to worry about the Chris Pine casting rumors anymore -- the Star Trek actor confirmed that he did "not have the part" and never "read a script" -- there is another actor interested in the role: Brian Austin Green. The former Beverly Hills 90210 star told Comic Book Resources why he would make a good Green Lantern:

    I've always kind of felt that Hal Jordan needs to be a man. He needs to be somebody who lives a little and experienced a lot... I think he's a guy who has a lot of demons and he's fighting them constantly.

    Anyone who dated Tori Spelling's Donna for as long as Green's David did ought to know about demons.

    Green became interested in the role after seeing fan art depicting him as Green Lantern, and, in all fairness, the irony of "the kid from 90210" trying to be cast in a big budget superhero movie isn't lost on Green:

    I understand that I'm kind of a tough sell. I wouldn't be what somebody would normally be looking for in a film like that. I mean I don't have film draw. I haven't been in anything that has gotten people into a movie theater. So it would be a big risk for a company to take, I get it. But at the same time, sometimes those risks are the things that seem to work and pay off the most.

    As risky as a West Beverly Hills High graduate attempting a music career?

  • In New Trek Clips Kirk and McCoy Take a Step Beyond

    Star TrekNow that the cat's out of the bag with a full-length screening in Austin and the official world premiere in Sydney, two more scenes from J.J. Abrams' Star Trek have trickled online. Both play up the humor and highlight the way key characters have diverged from the original -- basic personalities intact but re-imagined and revved up for a 21st century audience. We get a glimpse of what Chris Pine meant when he said that the reboot had been "sexed up for a new generation." It's no intergalactic flying orgy, but this Kirk is definitely stepping out of the shadow of his predecessor when he tries to pick up Uhura at a bar by remarking that she has a "talented tongue." And Karl Urban's shockingly unspaceworthy McCoy takes it up a notch as well reciting a litany of phobias and blandly warning Kirk "I might throw up on you."

  • New Star Trek TV Trailer Spotlights the Action

    Star TrekUnder the tagline "Prepare for a New Beginning," the new Star Trek trailer airing on cable delivers a Kirk-focused montage of fight scenes, action, and a few macho lines. Confronted four-to-one in an Iowa bar, the young Kirk responds by pouring on the testosterone: "So get some more guys and then it will be an even fight." Although you don't see it here, he loses the fight despite all the bluster.

    Overall, the trailer has a few new images and angles packaged to ramp up the appeal for a young, male, and non-fan base audience. Trek Movie has it all broken down into a frame-by-frame analysis. Still need more Trek? Check out these new images, just released by Paramount.

    The new Star Trek trailer debuted last night in post-midnight showings of Watchmen and is a little Kirk (Chris Pine) and special effects-centric, but would Trek fans have it any other way? If Trekkies weren't already foaming at the mouth for the new movie, how about the brawling Sulu (John Cho)? See for yourself below:

  • Shatner's Suggestions: Tips for the New Kirk, Chris Pine

    William ShatnerBringing a version of Star Trek to the big screen that Trekkies will embrace is no small task. Perhaps the only challenge more daunting is truly owning the captain's chair so famously filled by the legendary William Shatner.

    While there have been no reports of Chris Pine sharing notes or engaging in any kind of Vulcan mind-meld with the oh-so-smooth Shatner, it's not difficult to imagine the sage advice Kirk would give his young protégé. So...that's exactly what we've done, complete with a 12-point video demonstration in Shatner's Suggestions: Tips for the New Kirk, Chris Pine.

  • Chris Pine Deflates Rumors of a Sexed-Up Star Trek

    Star Trek Poster - KirkDashing speculation that the new Star Trek movie might really go where none have gone before, Chris Pine, who will play Captain Kirk, told E! that "It is a different Star Trek, but there's no crazy sex scene." Although he had earlier helped get the rumor mill going by suggesting that the upcoming installment of the sci-fi franchise had been "sexed up for a new generation," Pine now wants everyone to know that the Starship Enterprise hasn't been turned into an intergalactic flying orgy. Just how far will the crew of the Enterprise go then? Pine says "There may be some bare midriffs, but you know it's been a long time since the bikini was invented, so I don't think we're going to ruffle any feathers."

  • Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto Talk Star Trek

    Glog

    Grrrrrrhisssss!

    Where can actors feel free to talk about their upcoming sci-fi movie? The Wall Street Journal, of course, the publication of choice for Star Trek fans around the world.

    In an interview, Chris Pine, who plays Captain Kirk, puts fans' minds at ease about J.J. Abrams' take on the iconic franchise: "It's definitely not going to please everyone." Wow, that's sure to get everyone... excited?

    Pine wasn't finished in lowering expectations, admitting that he's "not well-versed in the Trek canon."

    Co-star Zachary Quinto, however, who plays Spock, made sure he was, talking and spending time with original Spock actor Leonard Nimoy: "We spent some time watching episodes but it was an all encompassing experience. We'd go to his house. We'd meet sometimes at Paramount. I'm seeing him before the holidays. He's an advanced mind and heart and I want to hang out with him as much as possible." Now that's better.

    Read the full interview.

  • J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Going Where No Star Trek Has Gone Before

    Chris Pine as Captain KirkCaptain Kirk and Orion hook up in one of two love scenes that will appear in the J.J. Abrams' version of Star Trek. Chris Pine, who is playing Kirk, tells E! what it was like to film this historic scene: "It was a lot of fun, but I think that day actually was a 20-hour-day. So by the end, the novelty wears off. After many sandwiches and meals through the day, all you want to do is brush your teeth and go home." We're guessing Pine's co-star, Rachel Nichols, might have liked their endless kissing marathon had Pine brushed his teeth before it began, rather than in its aftermath. Sounds like even the famously emotion-free Mr. Spock could teach him a thing or two about love.
