George Lucas Says Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford Are in the ‘Final Stages of Negotiation’
21 hours ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
It feels like a day doesn't go by without some quote, rumor, or speculation that Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Harrison Ford will return for the next set of Star Wars movies. Earlier this week, Fisher said "yes," only to have her publicist say it was just a joke. But now the latest word comes from arguably the most reliable source: George Lucas. In Bloomberg Businessweek, in a long piece about Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm, the man himself let this slip: “We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison — or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation." He quickly realized his misstep: “Maybe I’m not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them.” Then, trying to cover up: “I won’t say whether the negotiations were successful or not.” Nice try, George.

"So I called them to say, ‘Look, this is what’s going on.’ Maybe I’m not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them." He added coyly, “I won’t say whether the negotiations were successful or not.”It's not often we turn to our esteemed colleagues »

Last Night on Late Night: Craig Ferguson Cursed Out NBC for its Treatment of Community
2 hours ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Last night, The Late Late Show provided a lovely free-for-all platform for Craig Ferguson to say all sorts of things Community-related — from impersonating that green-screened drunkard Joel McHale to cursing out NBC for "abusing" the show (Alison Brie had put him up to this) to talking of Community the movie. And poor Gillian Jacobs, who had filled in for a sick Alison Brie, sat close by, an innocent bystander to both the trash talk and a trombone lesson. Plus: Just minutes before Jimmy Kimmel's interview with Dominic Monaghan, J.J. Abrams had emailed the host about a certain you-know-who's accident with a brand-new Tesla car in his own driveway — watch Monaghan piece it together. Also, Stephen Colbert selected his guest in the dramatic style of The Bachelor, pitting Nyu president and baseball lover, John Sexton, against one expressive author of Awakening the Bird House Within. And finally, James Franco »

I’m So Excited! (Los amantes pasajeros): Film Review
4 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
London -- Giving a whole new meaning to the word "cockpit," Pedro Almodovar’s I’m So Excited! (Los amantes pasajeros) is a raunchy and rowdy throwback to the director’s kinkier efforts from the late 80’s/early 90’s (Law of Desire, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!) -- although it also makes for a rather bumpy flight, literally hovering in circles before descending to lots of outre gags and candy-colored copulation. Opening in most territories without making the usual stopover in Cannes, the film will play best with local crowds and dedicated fans of the veteran Spanish auteur, as well as with Lbgt

Exclusive: Warwick Davis on horseback riding in 'Willow' and how Val Kilmer helped him
4 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
I remember when "Willow" was first announced. I was working at a movie theater, and in those pre-Internet days, there were posters that would arrive and be the first indication that a movie even existed. Sure, I read "Starlog" and "Fangoria" and whatever issues of "Variety" I could get my hands on, and I did my best to be as tuned in as possible to what was happening in movies, but it was a lot harder to come by early information. As a result, when we opened the poster tubes on day and pulled out a gorgeous but mysterious teaser poster »

After Earth Trailer: The Avatar Games
5 hours ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Though this is technically the second After Earth trailer, the first one only showed us a little and didn't tell us much of anything. Jaden Smith, who reportedly takes the film's lead while his papa does more of a supporting gig, only got two words in edgewise. Now we learn M. Night Shyamalan's latest and certainly sci-fi-iest is definitely going to be a father/son bromance. We get The Mission, a couple more lines from Jaden, and the definite confirmation that After-Earthians developed unusual accents. After this Jaden's going to have a great platform to gun for a role in the next Hunger Games or Avatar. »
