Enter for a chance to see THE BFG on June 28th at 7:00 PM in Minneapolis. The talents of three of the world’s greatest storytellers – Roald Dahl, Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg – finally unite to bring Dahl’s beloved classic “The BFG” to life. Directed by Spielberg, Disney’s “ The BFG ” tells the imaginative story of a young girl and the Giant who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country. The BFG ( Mark Rylance ), while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the other inhabitants of Giant Country. Standing 24-feet tall with enormous ears and a keen sense of smell, he is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most part. Giants like Bloodbottler ( Bill Hader ) and Fleshlumpeater ( Jemaine Clement ) on the other hand, are twice as big and at least twice as scary and have been known to eat humans, while the BFG prefers Snozzcumber and Frobscottle. Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a precocious 10-year-old girl from Lo...

As is the way of things with new Star Wars movies, the rumors have flown thick and fast about Rogue One , which is headed our way this December. Now, cutting through the unofficial chatter comes Entertainment Weekly, using its latest cover to report that Darth Vader will indeed be making an appearance in the new movie. That locks down a long-touted rumour that the world's wheeziest villain will indeed be part of the Imperial effort to keep the plans for the first Death Star out of rebel hands (nice going, dude) and that he'll be acting, per usual, as the Emperor's enforcer. Which will be a subject of concern and fear for Ben Mendelsohn's Director Krennic. Who's in the Vader suit? It's not stated, but you can bet James Earl Jones has been tapped to record that memorable rumbling voice. Gareth Edwards has been shooting (and, as has been extensively reported, re-shooting) the film, which includes some impressive-looking new (or old, given the movie's pre-E...

Star Wars stand-alone movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will undergo several weeks’ worth of additional shooting, sources have confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. Much of the cast and director Gareth Edwards will regroup in mid-June for another round of shooting. The move is happening after execs screened the film and felt it was tonally off with what a “classic” Star Wars movie should feel like. The pic has not yet been tested before audiences, but one source describes the cut as having the feel of a war movie. The goal of the reshoots will be to lighten the mood, bring some levity into the story and restore a sense of fun to the adventure. Rogue One focuses on the fabled mission hinted at in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, that of a group of rebels stealing the plans to the Death Star. The plans later end up in the hands of Princess Leia, who transfers them to R2-D2. “This is the closest thing to a prequel ever,” a source tells THR. “This takes place just before...

He'd previously gone as far as to say that he isn't playing a villain. Now Mads Mikkelsen has evaded the spoiler police once again and revealed a little bit more about his role in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story . If you consider such things to be spoilers, read no further, young Padawan. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Trailer- So Felicity Jones is playing a rebellious soldier called Jyn Erso, and it turns out that Mikkelsen's character has what you might call a blood tie to Jones'. "I read the script and it was very beautiful," Mikkelsen told Sky News, "and Felicity is playing this lovely, strong woman and I play her father." We still don't know his character's name, but we're going to hazard that "Erso" is in there somewhere. Mr Alan Erso, perhaps. Head of the PTA at Yavin High. Extrapolating properly, we might surmise that Erso Sr. and his daughter are somewhat estranged, since we know from the trailer that Jyn brough...

The rumors about a fifth Indiana Jones movie have been in the air for a good few years now, but in a recent interview with Vanity Fair , Star Wars and Lucasfilm president and all-round super-producer Kathleen Kennedy has officially confirmed that yes, Indy will be back, although in what form and when remains to be seen. "[An Indiana Jones film] will one day be made inside this company," said Kennedy. "When it will happen, I’m not quite sure. We haven’t started working on a script yet, but we are talking about it." There was some very loud chatter about Chris Pratt picking up the whip, but that remains unconfirmed, and with his roles in on-going franchises Guardians Of The Galaxy and Jurassic World being so similar to everyone's favourite fortune hunter, this might put pay to that idea - or make it an easier decision for Lucasfilm to make, should Pratt want the gig. There's also been some talk about Steven Spielberg coming back to direct, and some t...
