What Matters In Hollywood Today

William Shatner isnt going to let a little thing like James T. Kirks death stop him from reprising the iconic role. Captain Kirk was killed off almost 30 years ago when he and Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) teamed at the end of Star Trek Generations (1994). Despite not suiting up as the character in nearly three decades, Shatner thinks returning to Star Trek is an intriguing idea.

The Witcher star Freya Allen has called for fans of the series to get behind Liam Hemsworth instead of being attack-y as he prepares to take over the role of Geralt from Henry Cavill. The news of Cavills departure from the franchise and Hemsworths appointment to the lead role was met with a wall of outrage from Cavills many fans.

Studiocanal and ditions Albert Ren have recently inked an exclusive deal to produce the sixth live-action film featuring the iconic characters Asterix and Obelix.

Ahmed Best wants closure for his clumsy Gungan character, Jar Jar Binks, who initially appeared in the first installment of George Lucas prequel trilogy, Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. In a new interview published on May the Fourth Be with You, Best voiced his opinion over Star Wars Day weekend in regard to the fate of one of that galaxy far, far aways most highly scrutinized characters.

I Saw the TV Glow has just begun its slow theatrical rollout, with a much wider release coming May 17. There's been a lot of hype about the hazy, anhedonic, post-vaporwave, anti-capitalist aesthetic of filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun after their first feature film, We're All Going to the World's Fair. Their next film is yet another original quasi-horror tone poem that elaborates Schoenbrun's distinctive vision amid the cinematic landscape (so ber-hip but anti-awesome).

May the Fourth Be with You, aka Star Wars Day, turns into a weekend-long celebration for fans of that galaxy far, far away. While Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunts The Fall Guy does land the top spot at the box office to kick off the summer movie season, the big surprise is the 25th anniversary screenings of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace (1999).
