Liam Neeson will be dodging bullets and battling against the baddies once more to save his family in the sequel to the 2008 action-thriller, Taken. The Irish actor will star in the untitled sequel to the action-packed Taken, which could be released in the States as soon as October 2012. Neeson (Star Wars, Love Actually) will be...
Trailer for Keanu Reeves’ Side by Side documentary is here
I'm a fan of documentaries, and this one is no exception - Keanu Reeves, interviewing some of the most successful living directors in the world, about 35mm film. Most people tend to hate on Keanu, but I really like his acting and his work in general. But to see him doing a documentary is very interesting - projects like that come from a passion...
George Lucas to retire
If he can resist coming back to edit everything ever, George Lucas, creator of Star Wars, will be retiring from film-making. Now, I make a lot of jokes about George Lucas, as he's a figure ripe for satire and ridicule, given his penchant for upsetting fans and (as part of that upset) constantly revising Star Wars until all traces of the...
Star Wars 3D posters: no Jar Jar in sight!
Star Wars fans rejoice! The wait for the upcoming 3D releases of the franchise are nearly upon us. And the new posters for Episode One: The Phantom Menace have been revealed. Last year it was announced that George Lucas has been a busy man, digitally enhancing all six films in the franchise, ready to bring them back to theatres next...
Harrison Ford confirmed for Ender’s Game
Harrison Ford, star of Indiana Jones and Star Wars, will be playing Colonel Hyram Graff in the adaptation of the famous Orson Scott Card novel, Ender's Game. Harrison Ford is probably one of the most prolific sci-fi actors in history. Known best for playing Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy, he seems perfectly geared towards taking...
George Takei calms fanboys, attacks Twilight
If you were hoping George Takei, aka Sulu in the original Star Trek would come out with a masterful response to the Wars-Trek fan war, you might be disappointed. I like George Takei. He's a funny guy, and hearing that he had waded into the fight between Star Wars and Star Trek fans to try and calm everyone down was welcome news. However, he...
The TFR Robot Quiz
Think you've got what it takes to beep and whirr with the masters? Well, take our robot quiz and find out. With the Transformers film on its way to cinemas soon (I know, we prefer the cartoons as well), everyone's going to be very robot-happy. But there's been a long tradition of robots appearing in films, so we thought we'd see how robot-savvy...
Spielberg considering Jurassic Park reboot
Yeah, I'm not incredibly pleased either, but the legendary Steven Spielberg ponders either returning to, or rebooting Jurassic Park is still an important event. Reboots are common, but there are certain films that it's best not to touch. Die Hard, Indiana Jones, The Godfather, Star Wars, oh, and Jurassic Park. The reason you don't reboot these...
Win a copy of Tracker
If you can't get enough of New Zealand countryside in movies, and love hunter-and-the-hunted style thrillers, then you might just want a copy of Tracker. Ray Winstone is, for the first time in my memory at least, playing someone who never has the urge to say "guv," a surprise after a career in films such as 44-Inch Chest and Sexy Beast. As a...
Star Wars going 3D
Just imagine it. Lightsabers. Space battles. The Death Star bombing run. That scrolling text. [caption id="attachment_2919" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Image Courtesy of Chris Ray."][/caption] Star Wars is, no buts about it, one of the most epic and celebrated stories ever told in the modern age. Children born in 2002 are aware...
Not another carbon copy: Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 3 review
Dun dun, dun dun dun duuun dun, dun dun dun duuun dun, dun dun dun dunnnn... The Clone Wars is back for a third season, and the production values just keep getting higher. Sitting down to watch anything to do with Star Wars makes most geeks excited. It's by far one of the most creative, well-known sci-fi franchises of all time, if not the most...
Star Wars Saga coming to Blu-Ray next year
A long, long time away, in the same galaxy as us, Star Wars will finally come to what should be its final resting place - Blu-Ray. [caption id="attachment_2007" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="A fan-made mock-up of the covers."][/caption] It's been a long time coming, but George Lucas was never someone to do anything by halves. There...
Star Wars win Sci-Fi battle
It's set to be a summer of high-budget sci-fi releases, but it looks like the oldies are still the mostly highly regarded - with the original Star Wars flick coming top in an online poll to find the genre's all time best movie.I'm sure no one ever expected the Revenge of the Sith to eclipse George Lucas' 1977 smash starring Harrison Ford as Han...
