Following the screening of Star Trek III over the weekend I had a short (and very frank) chat with Ralph Winter, who worked on five of the Star Trek films and he gave his assessment as to why Star Trek IV was so successful and why Star Trek V was a failure.  

 
 
Winter: on success [...]

Word has been spreading today that 17-year-old actor Josh Hutcherson has been offered the role of Spider-Man in the Sony Pictures reboot scheduled for summer 2012. The Blue Sky Disney blog reported the news first, although it’s important to note that there has been no official confirmation yet that Hutcherson has won the role.

Sorry boys, but Zoe Saldana is now officially off the market. The 32 year-old actress who plays Star Trek’s new Uhura is now engaged to be married to her long-time boyfriend Keith Britton.

 
Congrats Zoe

Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski has just taken over the Wonder Woman comic book, along with artists Don Kramer and Michael Babinski, and they’ve given DC Comics’ most famous female superhero a new look—but is that a good thing or a bad thing?

British actor Andy Serkis will play ape leader Caesar in the upcoming 20th Century Fox reboot/prequel Rise of the Apes, according to a post on the 20th Century Fox Twitter page. Serkis, of course, is best known for playing Smeagol/Gollum in the Lord of the Rings trilogy (a part he will supposedly return to in The Hobbit, if that ever gets made) and also played the title role in Peter Jackson’s 2005 remake of King Kong. Jeez, the guy plays an ape once and he’s already getting typecast.

Johnny Depp as a lizard with an identity crisis? That we can get behind. But Johnny Depp as a Time Lord … that we’re not so sure of.

And yet that’s what we might be seeing on the big screen a few years from now if the info uncovered by tor.com is correct.

An article at pubarticles presented the project as fact and reportedly passed on the following news:

Why bother reviewing The Twilight Saga: Eclipse? Those who wish to see it certainly will do so over and over again, and neither I nor their parents nor a phalanx of tanks and flamethrowers can stop them. And those people who do not wish to see the film? Nothing I could say would make them give it a shot.

Had Eclipse been good, I suppose I could have said something like “David Slade, who wowed us half a decade ago with Hard Candy, has again mined the ids of 14-year-old girls and offered us a dark vision of death and sex,” but indeed, Slade knows that he isn’t making a movie here. Eclipse defies criticism because it isn’t really a film—it’s just a shared dream for fans of the novel series.

Or as one of the fans behind me at tonight’s screening said as we waited to retrieve our impounded cell phones (studio’s orders!), “I liked this one. Jasper had a bunch of lines this time.”
