Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Rumours of an attack on Ahch-To by Kylo Ren and his Knights of Ren have been swirling around Last Jedi for over a year and a half now, and new footage shown to press at a recent event celebrating Ireland’s role as a filming location in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi has seemingly confirmed a few more details, with a user at Star Wars News Net claiming that the footage included shots of Luke and Rey in a prolonged engagement with the Knights, from “dusk into night time light.”

The user claims the Millennium Falcon takes some heavy damage during an escape attempt in the sequence, prompting Luke and Rey to flee into the cavernous root system of a tree, only to discover that they might not be alone. It’d match up with previous rumours and set reports of giant, blackened tree on Ahch-To, but for now, take it all with a pinch of salt. [Comicbook.com]


Coco

Deadline reports Agents of SHIELD‘s Natalia Cordova-Buckley will voice Frida Kahlo in Pixar’s latest.

✨????✨Magia es tener la oportunidad de darle voz a aquella mujer que me enseñó el poder y la fuerza detrás de mi propia voz. ••• Natalia Cordova-Buckley joins the voice cast of Disney Pixar’s “Coco” @pixarcoco as legendary Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Originally from Mexico, for Cordova-Buckley this is a dream come true as Frida Kahlo has been an iconic idol to her. ••• ✨“I’ve been chasing the spirit of Frida Kahlo my entire life, so to be able to give voice to the woman that taught me the freedom and strength of my own, is not just an honor but profoundly magical!”. ✨ ••• The ensemble voice cast also includes Benjamin Bratt, Gael Garcia Bernal, Edward James Olmos and newcomer Anthony Gonzalez. ••• “Frida Kahlo is a captivating icon in Mexico’s history,” said director Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich . “Her art, strength and resilience inspired us in so many ways. Natalia’s role in “Coco” pays homage to Ms. Kahlo, her work and the people of Mexico who love her.” •Directed by Unkrich (“Toy Story 3”), co-directed by Adrian Molina (story artist “Monsters University”) and produced by Darla K. Anderson (“Toy Story 3”), Disney•Pixar’s “Coco” opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 22, 2017. Thank you @carlahool for being an ambassador of my dream.

Terminator 6

Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke to Business Insider about the upcoming, continuity-defying sixth Terminator film:

I think [James] Cameron and Tim [Miller] came up with a concept where they can continue on with the T-800 but make a whole new movie. What they are doing now with this one is basically to just take a few very basic characters, like Linda Hamilton’s character and my character, and dismiss everything else. Just move away from all these rules of the timeline and other characters.


Thor: Ragnarok

The Revengers… reassemble? In the latest featurette.
