    Before Tom Hardy became a movie star and Christopher Nolan obscured his face behind a black, pain-relieving mask in The Dark Knight Rises, he appeared in Star Trek: Nemesis. Of course, you know that, o Sci Fi fan! Nemesis made a paltry US$67 million worldwide after its release in December 2002 and it took seven years and JJ Abrams to resurrect and reboot the franchise. But now footage of Tom Hardys’ screen test opposite Patrick Stewart has surfaced. As you may remember, Tom Hardy plays Shinzon,...

    The Hobbit Will Now Be A Trilogy

    Peter Jackson is taking a not so unexpected journey, confirming that The Hobbit is too big for just two movies and will now become a trilogy. Jackson took to Facebook to explain his decision. "It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made. Recently Fran, Phil and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie - and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the...

    Man of Steel: Two Dads, Two Trailers

    Two trailers for Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot, Man of Steel, have been released. Both feature the same images but have different voiceovers. One with the dulcet tones of Russell Crowe who plays Superman’s real dad, Jor El, and the other voiced by his adoptive Dad, Jonathan Kent, played by Kevin Costner. The trailers are sombre in tone and have a conflicted hero/origins vibe (hey Christopher Nolan helped develop the story and is a producer, so of course there's going to be a bit of...
