There are still far too many unknown variables to say with any certainty that this rumored storyline for Edwards’ Star Wars spinoff is or is not accurate, though. We still don’t know who the majority of the Force Awakens cast are playing in this film universe (the Star Wars OT cast members aside) and even if one of the spinoffs does indeed revolve around a mission to steal the Death Star plans, there’s no guarantee it’ll be the first one released in theat
The 2013 Disney film, Frozen , catapulted to massive popularity with help from the catchy and inspirational “Let It Go.” The film also features a handful of references to previous Disney and Pixar movies, like Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled attending Elsa’s coronation. Some even argue Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen from The Princess and the Frog also attend the event. However, you have to look more closely in other scenes to catch Frozen’s nods to Monster’s Inc. and the Mouse House. At Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna a wooden figurine of Mike Wazowski is sitting on the counter, while a Micky Mouse doll is hidden on a shelf. However, Anna decides to buy winterwear instead of these references to other Disney and Pixar characters, which we’re sure was the best cho
Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm’s Star Wars universe is already underway on the small screen with the animated series Star Wars Rebels and this week, certain filmgoers will get their first look at J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens when the teaser premieres in theaters . Now, a rumor has surfaced, regarding what’s being planned for the first Star Wars spinoff mo
Before Chris Hemsworth was famous as the Marvel hero Thor, he splashed onto the scene playing Captain Kirk’s father George in Star Trek . The 2009 reboot saw George killed in battle aboard the USS Kelvin, but his legacy, and that of the ship, lived on. In the sequel, fans were probably too busy trying to make sense of the bomb plot and blood transfusions to notice that the scene of the disaster was the Kelvin Memorial Archive. Named for Kirk’s ship, it means the destruction of the Kelvin set the plots of both films in motion – a subtle nod that only the diehard fans might have cau
To populate the behind-the-scenes world of arcade games in Wreck-It Ralph , animators included characters from classic video games. Bowser, Pac-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, Q*bert, and Frogger are among those that make an appearance. But, in one wide shot of Game Central Station, two characters unrelated to video games can be seen: Vladimir, one of the thugs in the Snuggly Duckling Pub, and Maximus, the proud palace horse, Keep Reading from Tangled , are walking in opposite directions in the station. There’s also a dinosaur that very closely resembles Tiny the T-Rex from Meet the Robinsons , filling the scene with references to other Disney films amid all the game charact
Directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord beat the odds when they made a movie about LEGO a worldwide hit. The film even included Superman and Green Lantern, played by Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, the stars of their previous surprise hit, the rebooted 21 Jump Street . It wasn’t the only nod to the story of undercover cops, though. When Emmet’s apartment is first shown, a poster can be seen advertising the movie “Teen Copz,” an obvious reference to Jump Stre
Additionally, Stephen Colbert also asked Abrams about his penchant for lens flares. It’s no secret that Abrams is notorious about including (sometimes unnecessarily) a number of big, bright, and distracting lens flares in all of his movies. It’s actually a popular Internet meme anytime Abrams announces a new project. The director is well aware of the number of lens flares he used in the past, but affirms that he reduced the filmmaking flourish for The Force Awakens . From Jordan Hoff

“Abrams is aware that “we got in trouble on the second Star Trek film with some of the fans,” and admitted. “There were too many nods to The Wrath of Khan. I’ll cop to that.” (Full disclosure: I, the author, was the gentleman who led the now notorious fan panel at the 2013 Las Vegas convention in which we, the aggrieved dweebs of the Trekkie community, declared that Into Darkness was the worst Star Trek film of all time. Very sorry, J.J.) Whether a proposed third Trek film from the Bad Robot crew will serve as a corrective or not remains to be seen, but he acknowledges that the nerds were indeed hea
When James Cameron’s sci-fi sequel Judgment Day hit theaters in 1991, it did so with a theme song: “You Could Be Mine” by Guns N’ Roses. But that wasn’t always the plan. James Cameron has never admitted he made the film with the band in mind, but there are some obvious clues. Not only is John Connor’s best friend wearing an L.A. Guns t-shirt – one of the two bands which would lead to GNR – but when the Terminator finally arrives to take on the T-1000 in a shopping mall, he reveals his gun hidden in a box of, you guessed it, roses. Arnold Schwarzenegger personally convinced the band to sign on, making sure the movie’s sales pitch was a successful
