‘Star Wars VII’ Rumor: Ewan McGregor Returning as Obi-Wan, Wants Spin-Off Film

In recent days, Latino-Review has been dropping some big rumors about Episode VII ; first came word that Emperor Palpatine will be returning – if only as the Sith equivalent of a “force ghost” – and now the website claims to have knowledge that Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi could also be coming back as a ghostly gu

As a footnote to their report, L-R added that McGregor is apparently pushing for his own standalone film (Disney has since announced its intent to produce standalone Star Wars movies in between “episodes” ). Not only do we think that would be a project with potential – we’ve already pitched a pretty good story idea for an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie . So, needless to say, we’re not opposed to that happening, eit

Tony Stark found out the hard way that even friends can’t be trusted, when his business partner Obadiah Stane revealed he was funding terrorists (and building his own suit of armor). But Iron Man should have known he was up to no good long before. When Tony finds Stane playing some piano in his Malibu mansion, it’s not a random bit of music, but a sample of Antonio Salieri’s “Piano Concerto in C.” Music buffs, or those who saw the movie Amadeus will get the hint, since Salieri was long rumored to have sabotaged and killed Mozart. The composers’ rivalry wasn’t anywhere close to Stark and Stane’s, but the hint was there all al

Trading a human or animal star for a robotic one, Wall-E was a major turning point for Pixar as a whole, relying less on dialogue than ever before. Set in a future where mankind has turned Earth into one massive landfill and headed into space, Wall-E is just one maintenance robot left behind. He’s put his time to good use, too, collecting dozens of trinkets and souvenirs to store in his home. When Wall-E first enters his house in the movie, one Toy Story character can be seen hidden behind a pair of bowling pins. How Rex managed to survive the man-made end of the world isn’t clear, but if he survived, then it stands to reason Woody and the gang were still alive off-screen as w

Did you know that Cloverfield contains a King Kong cameo? Matt Reeves’ found footage monster movie is well known for its shaky, stuttering handheld camcorder, and in between cuts and flickers the director inserted single frames from classic monster movies like King Kong , The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Them! Whether they were put there to disturb the audience without them realising it, or just as an homage to the kind of movies that inspired Cloverfield , these flashes are a fun subliminal secret that can only be seen if you slow the scenes d

Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are all locked in as Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Leia Solo, respectively – but recent rumors have suggested that other characters from the franchise’s past could be coming back as well. But the question remains: is revisiting the past a welcome bit of nostalgia, or is it the same kind of misstep that the prequel films m

Look, in my own opinion, I’ve never been a big fan of prequels/sequels that go out of their way to shoehorn every single familiar or fan-favorite character into the new narrative. Prequel appearances by characters like C-3PO and R2D2 (oh-so-conveniently present in the saga of Anakin Skywalker as they were in the saga of Luke Skywalker) still irks me almost as much as Jar-Jar Binks. On the other hand: an appearance by Ghost Palpatine is intriguing, since we’ve never seen Sith ghosts onscreen before – and if we’re going that route, an appearance by trust-old Obi-Wan’s spirit doesn’t seem like all that bad of a cameo to

Backstory: During the Times Square hunting sequence in I Am Legend , Robert Neville (Will Smith) passes a billboard advertising a Superman and Batman team-up film set to open on May 15, 2010. Given the 2007 I Am Legend release, had the tongue-in-cheek easter egg come true, the film would have likely featured Brandon Routh (whose Superman Returns released in 2006) and Christian Bale (who debuted as Batman in 2005). Of course, Warner Bros. has since announced an actual Batman V Superman crossover in their Man of Steel sequel, which will star Henry Cavill and game beginner guide|https://movietriviafocus.Com/ Ben Affleck in the iconic roles. So, maybe I Am Legend really did include a hidden message from Warner Bros. after all – i.e. they’ve wanted to cash-in with a World’s Finest team-up for more than half a dec

The artists at Walt Disney Animation may have traded their pencils and notepads for computers and keyboards over the years, but not everything has changed. Decades of Disney heroes are too beloved to be forgotten, which means plenty of Easter Eggs, secret cameos, and inside jokes to watch out for. Here is our list of 10 Hidden Secrets in Disney Movi

Gore Verbinski’s remake of this Japanese horror film takes the idea that watching movies affects us, and stretches it to a terrifying extreme. The meta concept is reinforced when single frames from the haunted videotape flash up during other scenes in the movie. Again, not all copies of the film feature the same frames. But fans can all catch a flash of The Ring at the very start of the movie, where it meshes with the crescent moon in the DreamWorks logo. These hidden frames are worth re-watching the movie all on their own – just don’t answer the phone when you’re finis
