*Jess♥ Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 It's a bad movie when I can fall asleep through it. I generally don't fall asleep whilst actually doing something. I can be watching any old crap on tv and I won't be sleepy. but blade 2 and the star wars films have sent me to sleep. star wars episode 2 specifically. Quote
Larz Zahn Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Ironically, it was the only blade i found interesting. If not cliche. Quote
Larz Zahn Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Gary Oldman, i think i got his last name right, says that Disney its inquiring to cast him in ep 7. Quote
Guest snow Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I really liked all of the Blade films. I'm still a fan of Wesley Snipes. I really liked him in Demolition Man. Edited March 5, 2014 by Jupiter-Prime 1 Quote
Larz Zahn Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I think that was one of the first movies i seen him in, still one if my favorites! Quote
Larz Zahn Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 And the official casting is out. Ep 7 skill be starring: Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow Quote
Guest Jupiter Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Aren't they too old for the part? I know the new Terminator: Genesis replaced the characters with new actors accept Arnold who is still playing another terminator model. I honestly think I'd rather see new actors in SW-7. Sometimes having actors 40 years later isn't always such a great idea. Means there will be more CGI to make up for their lack of stamina in the movie. Something a much younger actor could be more capable of. Look how horrible the new Indiana Jones did. Harrison Ford was too old for the part. They could have made a new series with a younger more recent actor. Perhaps its what the fans want. But even as a Terminator fan I think its time Arnold bowed out and let someone else be the new T-850 this time. Let Summer Glau have the part.I may be a fan, But I want the best for the series. Fresh people for a fresh start. I think maybe pulling some people out of the old TSCC series would be a great move. I like Arnold, he's a great actor. But I'd rather see someone fill his shoes. Not being negative about. But you never know. But since its Star Wars, the can probably get away with it. SInce it has a huge cult following and fan base. No one will care. Quote
*Jess♥ Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 one name on there made me deeply unhappy. Andy Serkis. even worse, I'm looking at the IMDB page... WHY is Andy Serkis being placed ABOVE The original cast??? what is up with people casting this overrated gimp? Quote
Larz Zahn Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I'm not familiar with a lot of the younger castees. What is so bad about serkis? Quote
*Jess♥ Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I got fed up of people lining up to suck his **** basically everyone is gushing about what a gifted person he is then he gets all these parts on credit just because he did lord of the rings. I would understand if he got jobs strictly on merit of his abilities but it is clear that is not the case. it's a similar situation to helena bonham carter and johnny depp being in every single tim burton movie. get a role on merit and suitability for teh role, okay , but get the role because you happen to be friends with a few people, that is not cool. if he is playing a character that is not CGI then I would say I have yet to see him give a good performance on a live action role. if they got him to play a CGI character then I can only say that is cheap casting. not in money terms but in terms of creativity. Quote
LordSpleach Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Jupiter, the way I understand it. The original cast is there to help make way for the new cast. They'll move the focus I believe in Episode 8. Yuki, I really haven't Serkis in anything but Peter Jackson's movies(aka only LotR, Hobbit, and King Kong). I'm not saying he's great, but I wouldn't compare him to Johnny Depp and Tim Burton's friendship. And Helena is Burton's wife. Quote
Larz Zahn Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 It's rumored that Harrison fords han solo will have a large important role in 7. And Ryuki? I understand what you mean. I get frustrated about Megan fox getting parts in movies just because the director wants eye candy. Quote
Guest Jupiter Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Megan Fox would make a great Princess Lea. Jai Courtney would make a great Luke Skywalker. Just a few actors I'd love to see in a Star Wars film lol Quote
LordSpleach Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Slightly off topic, but I still surprised Michael Bay let her act in the new Turtles movie. Unless, of course, it was a matter of "ha, ha, she has to come back to me." Quote
Larz Zahn Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (I'll run with it) Yeah, it's surprised me they were working together again, but what surprised me more was that she got the part for April Oneal. Acting skill aside, i never would of thought of her for April. She doesn't seem like April Quote
Larz Zahn Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I'm sorry guys. I've really been dropping the ball on new updates for episode 7 and rebels.... I've been distracted and never think to check up on this. So if anyone gets any juicy news before i do, please share. I like surprises! Ok so updates..... filming had started in Abu Dhadi... (sorry). Its a desert kinda like place, so rumor has it as tatooine. A set piece that looks like a ATAT foot was also spotted. A large truck of explosives was brought on site and a huge crater was blown into the terrain. Rumors speculates that its is a crashsite of a ship. Also a few interior sets of a shuttle have been reported, but its star wars, so no surprise there. Ok big news.

Larz Zahn Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 So Harrison Ford was injured on set for ep 7. Reports says he hurt his ankle but other than that he's ok. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=119489 Quote
Larz Zahn Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Ok so it wasn't his ankle that got hurt. Turns out he broke his leg filming a scene. He'll be out for 8 weeks, and filming will continue on as planned with no pauses. Quote

I can agree with what you are saying, but at the same time, for Tim Burton, it must be great to have a job where you can choose to work with people you love, doing what you love. To form your own acting troupe. What is wrong with doing that? Quote
*Jess♥ Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 damage to reputations. those actors become typecast. people start to get tired of seeing them? I don't know. I think if you present the same thing over and over again, you may have a cult following but on a grander scale, it is disadvantageous. I'm happy they get to work together with people they love. that's really sweet. but it's almost become like a little club. it like a clique. I saw johnny depp on pirates of the carribbean, he wasn't too bad. I saw bonham carter on fight club, she wasn't too bad, but they have become typecast now and I refuse to pay for any film they are in. If I feel that way, other people do too. oops. don't want to rag on them too much. let them do what they wanna. Quote
Guest Jupiter Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Does Star Wars really need another Episode? I mean, the series is okay, its not my favorite. I enjoyed Episodes 1-3 more than I enjoyed the old ones. But what more is there to tell from the old characters? Quote
*Jess♥ Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Star Wars always needs more episodes. more cartoons, more books, more games etc.Disney own Star Wars, Disney want money. hey, I want to see more Star Wars. I love the concept. 2 Quote
LordSpleach Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 There has always been talk of Episode 7, 8, and 9 well before the prequel trilogy. Quote
