Members of the academy will be invited to view 10-minute excerpts of the films on January 7th and then the list will be narrowed down to 3 for final consideration. I can't even imagine what Ryan Reynolds would do to an Oscar statue as Deadpool. It's similar for the Visual Effects category that currently has twenty potential[...]

By Joe Glass This time last year, the first new Star Wars film in years was released in cinemas, The Force Awakens, and immediately audiences came out wondering if Star Wars maybe possibly just included, under the radar, their first gay character, in the form of hotshot X-Wing pilot, Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac). In fact, I even[...]

Well, since that time, a little movie called Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has also been released, earning $290 million in its first weekend alone The end result is that Disney has now officially broken the record, with more than $7 billion in revenue for 2016. The milestone has some huge hits this year to[...]

There has been quite a lot of talk about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and where its political leanings lie Despite the fact that the connection between the Empire and fascism—mostly linked to the Nazis—couldn't be more obvious, and the fact that Star Wars itself was a reaction to Vietnam, there are people who[...]

Rogue One's use of the character of Grand Moff Tarkin, as played by Peter Cushing is an impressive next step in the use of CGI to allow filmmakers to be able to utilize actors who have either passed away, or need to be shown at a far younger age In Cushing's case, he had died back[...]

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story star Felicity Jones is set to host Saturday Night Live when it returns to TV on January 14th, after taking a break for the holidays We're relatively positive this will happen, since President Elect Donald Trump won't be inaugurated until a week after that, and so will be unable[...]

I have not seen Rogue One yet… may not get over to see it before Monday… but there is one character I really like the looks of and that's K-2SO He makes me think of what a robot would look like if he was designed by Mike Mignola He's a reprogrammed Imperial Security Droid now[...]

The folks at How It Should Have Ended are getting into the Rogue One spirit by releasing a special updated edition of their take on Star Wars They do bring up some pretty good points… why didn't the Millennium Falcon just transmit the Deathstar plans once they got them? Heck, since they were in R2-D2…[...]

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story expands on the familiar universe that we know and love with excellent characters and a dynamite third act Title: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Director: Gareth Edwards Summary: The Rebellion makes a risky move to steal the plans for the Death Star, setting up the epic saga to follow. The review[...]

TL;DR: Let's be really clear – more than anything else, Rogue One is a PG-13 sci-fi war movie Sure, it's not Saving Private Ryan level, but if you were to cut out some of Ryan's flying limbs, guts, and blood – it's not entirely that far off It's definitely still in the Star Wars Universe –[...]

Photo by Jason Laboy .gallery-caption {display:none;} We're down to it just being a number of hours before Rogue One opens and everyone is talking about it at the office, at school, on the commute, and basically everywhere In celebration of it once again being Star Wars week, we wanted to pull together a selection of some of[...]

Star Wars: Rogue One is the talk of the town right now Early reviews are in, and it seems a lot of critics like Gareth Edward's film. Even though the film isn't even out yet, Disney have wasted no time flaunting that reception This new trailer is all about the good things said about the film[...]

Responding to the #DumpStarWars campaign which aims to boycott the upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, calling it "SJW Propaganda" and "Anti-White Social Engineering," Disney CEO Bob Iger told The Hollywood Reporter at this weekend's Rogue One premiere: I think the whole story has been overblown and, quite frankly, it's silly I have no reaction to[...]

With just a few more days before Rogue One finally releases excitement continues to build Yesterday the film premiered at Hollywood's Pantages Theatre, complete with an X-Wing parked on Hollywood Boulevard. And the film's stars and industry luminaries walked the carpet, all doing their best to contain their excitement to be seeing the biggest genre film of[...]

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is just around the corner now It's starting to slowly roll out to the press and fans in early screenings, and the positive is very positive thus far.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is no different.

Michael Giacchino has really been in a bit of a bind on Rogue One, supposedly. Apparently, he only had 4 weeks to score the entire film after Alexandre Desplat dropped out, which is pretty crazy. It seems to be shaping up quite well though, with Star Wars revealing this first listen to the soundtrack[...]

As reported earlier this week, Neo-Nazis were planning on boycotting Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and I basically told them that they shouldn't let the door hit them on the way out It appears that it has translated into a hashtag now, as #DumpStarWars has emerged The Wrap got to interview star Riz Ahmed just[...]
