There are multiple theories circulating the web about all the connections between Disney and Pixar films, and certain easter eggs lend more credence to these theories than others. For instance, one shot from Toy Story 3 confirms that the series’ main human character, Andy, exists in the same world as Carl and Ellie Fredricksen from Up . If you look closely at the bulletin board in Andy’s room, there’s a postcard from the couple that includes the address of their beloved yellow house, before it’s transported to South America, of cou
Backstory: In the final moments of Cloverfield , Rob and Beth seek refuge from the creature under Central Park’s Greyshot Arch. Moments later, an air raid strike buries the couple (and the camera) in rubble from the bridge – presumably killing the Cloverfield monster. However, following the film credits, director Matt Reeves included a brief, 5-second, piece of garbled audio that hints at a different outcome. When reversed, the audio recording (which sounds like a military mission report) clearly states: “It’s Still Alive” – indicating that the creature was not killed in the airstrike (while also setting the stage for a possible, though yet to be released, Cloverfield
Every fan of Quentin Tarantino knows that the director likes to connect his films into one universe , with characters living in the same world, or some films existing as movies for those characters to see in a theater. But what about a movie that reveals it’s just a movie in its own story? That’s what some fans claim about Jackie Brown . When a character walks out of a movie theater to the sound of its credits score, the music is what’s expected of Tarantino. But viewers will eventually realize that it’s the same music that plays over the movie’s own end credits. A shared universe wasn’t enough: the director had to hint that Jackie Brown was already playing in theaters while the cast was still living through

One of the big problems surrounding Star Trek Into Darkness was it seemed more concerned about paying tribute to The Wrath of Khan than actually trying to find its own identity as a movie. Instead of focusing on telling a good story, J.J. Abrams put so much fan service in Star Trek Into Darkness that it was so difficult to focus or get into the sci-fi film. The end result just upset fans because it wasn’t as good as the first reboot and its moderate box office take reflects poo
As fans dissected every frame of the latest preview, there was one sticking point that some found odd. There’s a moment where Rey (Daisy Ridley) asks Han Solo (Harrison Ford) about stories she’s heard detailing what happened years ago (i.e. the events of the classic trilogy). Han answers with “It’s true. All of it. The dark side, the Jedi. They’re re
“There’s a directorial flourish and then there’s self-parody — and Abrams promises he’s easing up on his signature stylistic tic of shining lights directly into anamorphic lenses to create flares. He could explain it away in the Star Trek films (“the future is so bright!”) but admits he has no excuse for Super 8. He recalled how one shot in Star Trek Into Darkness was so overrun by lens flare his wife shouted that she couldn’t see Alice Eve. He made an effort to tone it down for The Force Awakens, and when he spotted his lighting crew bringing large spotlights onto the set he would joke “these aren’t the flares you’re looking f
You don’t have to be a princess just to star in a Disney adventure, only willing to don a disguise to protect your family – and belt out a few musical numbers too. Mulan learned that for herself when she pretended to be a man to join China’s forces against the invading Huns in Disney’s retelling of the classic story. Its message must have struck a chord with the cast of Lilo and Stitch, since a poster of Mulan hangs on Lilo’s sister Nani’s wall, and the family even passes a restaurant called “Mulan Wok” when first adopting the trouble-making al
As shocking as this may be to read: not everyone who will see The Force Awakens is overtly familiar with the Star Wars mythos. Whether they’re adults who never caught on, or children whose first real exposure to the franchise will be Episode VII , they’ll need someone in the movie to act as their guide and ask the questions they’re wondering about. Abrams would be unwise to just assume that everyone watching knows the story up to this point. This is very similar to how Luke was portrayed in the original film, as he – like everyone watching – had no idea what The Force was or how expansive the galactic war really was. He was that fish out of water character that was a conduit for the audience and allowed them to understand what was happening throughout the f
