Movie Review: @RogueOneMovie

Gareth Edwards' sci-fi epic pulls at our Star Wars heartstrings. Review by Matt Cummings If the idea of seeing one Star Wars movie every year until time's end was your version of a wet dream, get in line. However, I wouldn't blame you if all the recent news about troubles on the set of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story might have dulled your anticipation. Not to worry: this is a terrific entry into the film franchise, solidly establishing itself above the prequels with a memorable collection of nods, tips-of-the-helmet, and incredible space sequences that should relieve everyone's concerns that characters outside the Skywalker timeline weren't worthy of our attention or hard-earned cash. As the hand of The Galactic Empire continues to sweep across the galaxy, the Rebellion learns of a new weapons project, code-named The Death Star, a space station that can destroy entire planets. They also learn that its chief builder Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelson) might be

What's Going On With Rogue One? Who's Really In Control

Though we learned back in June that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story would be undergoing some re-shoots, Disney and Lucasfilm have kept largely quiet about the extent of filmmaker Tony Gilroy's involvement, but according to The Hollywood Reporter's sources, he's had more to do than we all thought. Director Gareth Edwards was the main man behind the camera for the main shoot and is still heavily involved with the movie, but Gilroy has reportedly been given more input into the editing process, having been present for the re-shoots. Yet from the sounds of it, this is not Gilroy being parachuted in to take over control of the film; he's simply working alongside Edwards, as he did on Godzilla, to hone its final form. "There are not two separate editing rooms; they are all in there with their ideas," says one source. "Tony's a strong force, but they're all working together." The new footage is apparently tackling whatever issues Edwards and his

Darth Vader Will Be In Rogue One

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

Reshoots Ordered For Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

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

Mads Mikkelsen Reveals His Character In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

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

Is 'Godzilla 2' Moving Forward?

Writer Max Borenstein gives clues as to the sequel's chances. Story by Matt Cummings When the rebooted Godzilla arrived in 2014, audiences rewarded it with a $93 million opening weekend and a worldwide haul of over $528m. But it's also safe to say that fans were disappointed at the lack of scenes (only 8 minutes total) which actually featured the big guy in all his glory. So when Legendary Pictures announced it was moving forward with a planned June 8, 2018 release, fans were understandably worried that he might get the same treatment. From Screenwriter Max Borstein's recent comments, it seems like we have little to fear. According to a recent interview with Collider, Borenstein - who's working on the Fox Television adaptation of Minority Report - had this to say about what's coming in the sequel: "I’m writing it now, and it’s really going to be great. I don’t want to go off book and tell you anything that I’m not allowed to tell you. The res

Josh Trank Defends 'Star Wars' Exit

The Chronicle director speaks out on the "toughest decision" of his career. Story by Matt Cummings When news hit on May 1st that Chronicle director Josh Trank was departing the Star Wars universe , it hit fans like a lightsaber through the gut. But speculation about his future emerged earlier at Star Wars Celebration , when he failed to appear, waving flu-like symptoms. His colleague Gareth Edwards did attend, showing off a concept trailer for his film Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One . As news began to swirl about Trank's misfortunes on the set of Fantastic Four - in which his behavior was characterized as "erratic" and Producer Simon Kinberg was brought in to finish the project - fans knew the real story: Trank hadn't merely walked away, he had been fired. Trank was recently interviewed by the LA Times - the first since his departure - shedding a new perspective on the backlash he received from fans and (perhaps) the real reason why he left.
