Star Zachary Quinto discusses what to bear from the sequel :
Yeah , darker , bigger and there ’s just more at stake for everybody . So , I think that ’s exciting for an audience .
What should audiences expect from the next film ?
More activity , more peril and there ’s more at stake , as I said , for the crew of the Enterprise this clock time around . More danger and just a bigger , bolder experience I would say .
Portraying such an iconic fictional character as Spock in Star Trek and doing so successfully in the first film , what kind force per unit area does reception of the sequel put on you , if it puts force per unit area on you at all ?
I never felt any pressure from being a part of that franchise , I only mat supported and … I have only felt like my job is to get to solve and be a part of something that masses want to watch and need to see . That certainly was the face the first time around and I think it will be more the case this metre , because it is such a crowing experience we shot this movie in 3D and IMAX and I think the write up just lends itself to much more of an explosion onto the summer pic schedule fit .

In casing anyone was still wondering about those debunked John Noble Star Wars rumors , here ’s an official defence from the Fringe star himself .
It ’s still a great idea though .
While explaining the attitude that he and director Zack Snyder approached to reset the latest Superman movie , star Henry Cavill drops some hints about the eccentric ’s arc in the film :
“ This is not a moving picture about Zack Snyder directing something , or Henry Cavill playing a fictional character … it ’s a selfless movie about a character who is going through what he is going through . He wants to do the correct thing , but he ’s weak , like the eternal sleep of us . He messes up , and that makes us love him more . ”

Director Guillermo del Toro gives the tardy update on his giant monster epic :
We ’re 30 to 40 percent into the 3D conversion and that ’s going really good . We ’ve done 99 percentage of all the animation of Industrial Light & Magic , and we have rendered and finished about 33 per centum of the shots . So the large animation haul is essentially over . We have about a dozen dig left to animate . ”
Del Toro also talk about The Wire star Idris Elba ’s work as Lieutenant - Commander Stacker Pentecost , suppose he “ require him to root the whole dangerous undertaking , morally and ethically . ” He also discusses his and atomic number 27 - author Travis Beacham ’s workplace on a potential sequel :
“ Travis [ Beacham , carbon monoxide gas - author ] and I have been working on it . We co - wrote the screenplay on this first one , and now we ’re hard at work at doing the second one . We want to take however long it contain to really find out the mind and seek to bridge something that really makes the mythology bun … The great thing about Legendary is they ’re willing to take it to completion in the veracious fashion . They ’re give us the tolerance . suppose that we ’re generating the comic book of account . We ’re learning more about the [ Pacific Rim ] Earth we ’re create day by Clarence Day . ”

Game Change author ( and “ Jonathan on Buffy ” actor ) Danny Strong has reportedly completed the script for the first part of the two - celluloid adaptation of the final al-Qur’an in the Hunger Games series . Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence is reportedly cash in one’s chips to return for the next two films — assuming he does n’t abruptly exit the series like predecessor Gary Ross — and so would begin pre - output on the first Mockingjay film potentially while still completing mail - production on the current picture . For his part , Strong is expect to commence work on the second celluloid directly away , as Lionsgate is reportedly pleased with his first script . [ /Film ]
Director David Twohy explicate how he and star Vin Diesel created a third Riddick movie on a fraction of the budget of The Chronicles of Riddick , and why the film ’s autonomous status allowed them to do affair they could n’t with the late studio - made film :
If you make it PG-13 , then you have to make concessions , and that ’s what happened on The Chronicles of Riddick where we had to downplay a lot of our action sequences and remove a stack of the rakehell . We constitute it was tying our hands , so we vowed not to do that … Vin and I dumbfound the rightfield back and produce it ourselves on a smaller scale . That say , it still looks like a big picture show . I cogitate the audience will see the bakshish of the hat to Pitch Black , but they wo n’t experience claustrophobic .
found on previous instruction it sounds as if Riddick could get extra powers . Is that true or is he just more unsafe ?
The cabalistic solution is a little of both . drab for being overmodest but I ’m already projecting ahead to the theatrical cutting off versus the director ’s cut and consider about what I may re - include .
Dwayne “ The Rock ” Johnson reveals that his potential starring fomite about D.C. Comics ’ intergalactic bounty hunter has fizzle out out :
“ It was [ something that I was going to do ] for a minute , but then it kind of just went aside , as thing come about in Hollywood . For a mo , I was concerned in it , but then it went forth .

The plan to film two James Bond films back - to - back as the follow - up to Skyfall has reportedly been swing , and so director Sam Mendes is reportedly look at come back for the next picture show , depend on the playscript . [ Mail Online ]
I would counsel against read this as confirmation that past Doctors will be returning for the fiftieth anniversary special — which is rig to set forth take in April , so this has to be finalized fairly soon — but writer and showrunner Steven Moffat reportedly had this to say about the possibility :
“ Getting the other Doctors involved would be very fitting for the day of remembrance episode , would n’t it ? ”
While it seems unlikely Moffat would say that at this level if previous Doctors were n’t move to come along , the very same account also says the special will see Matt Smith ’s re-formation into the next medico , when it ’s already been confirm he will be back for at least the Christmas special . So , to be perfectly honest , I ’m not certain what to make of any of this , although apparently Matt Smith is in favor of bringing past Doctors back too :
“ How awful would it be to see Tom Baker ? Can you imagine reckon him back in the scarf ? That would be so cool . Paul McGann is a great Doctor – I say bring back Chris [ Eccleston ] and Dave [ Tennant ] too . ”

In more substantial news , “ Asylum of the Daleks ” and “ The Angels Take Manhattan ” director Nick Hurran has revealed he will place the 50th anniversary special . This story also remark the rumored running length is 90 bit , as opposed to past report that said it would be a comparatively inadequate 60 minutes . That might just be a typo or unsourced speculation , but at least it ’s a sliver of Bob Hope for those let down with the current running duration . [ Blogtor Who ]
Star Andrew Lincoln discuss Rick ’s journeying through the rest of the season :
“ A lot of the back one-half of the time of year is the battle between two ideologies and two men [ Rick and the Governor ] , but also a struggle for Rick ’s sanity . He ’s likely at his lowest ever . We wanted to defy up a mirror that [ the Governor ] could ’ve been Rick peradventure two to three months down the lineage with a civilization like Woodbury . Rick and his family have been moving around hand to mouth and have n’t had clip to condense the heartbreak and the seismic disturbance and the horror of the place . So what ’s possibly happened in Woodbury is that they ’ve had metre to sit with it , and that ’s had a prejudicial gist on some of the characters . ”
And costar Laurie Holden talk about whether Andrea can ever truly rejoin the group after her sentence in Woodbury :
“ Yes , she befriended The Governor , but she was never actively trying to obliterate the group . That ’s not who Andrea is . It ’s a misunderstanding and their misconception of a situation . They assume she ’s bad now . regrettably , she give a price for being in the dark . It ’s never about choosing sides , because when she sees the Governor for who he is , she ’s not hold out to be with him . She ’s smarter than that . Rick and the group are her family and she was conned . She ’s caught in an impossible situation where she does n’t want anyone to go and people do render to force her to take sides . ”

Elsewhere , David Morrissey discusses what ’s next for the Governor :
“ That ’s move to be one of the surprises in the season — the Governor ’s method to flummox his retaliation . There are citizenry in his grouping — Andrea and Milton — who are the vocalism of reason , who pacify his people and do n’t want this battle and want serenity . peradventure there ’s an element to the Governor that might need that if he can get what he wants . He might not have to go through this all - out war if he can get what he want , and diplomacy is part of that as well . Deals are done between unfriendly community all the time , so there are exchanges that happen . All I can say is it does n’t play out the way that a lot of people opine it ’s go away to . ”

Costar Joseph Morgan discusses whether Klaus and Caroline ’s friendly relationship is now done for trade good :
“ There ’s always got to be a hint of hope [ for them ] , has n’t there ? I would like to recollect that she is understanding enough [ because ] this is the thing : No one is truly good or evil . There ’s always some redeeming quality somewhere , possibly buried very , very deep within someone . I was filming a scene with her the other twenty-four hours , so the characters are still interacting . Their family relationship , and I ’ll use that terminus generally , becomes much more complex the more we go on , which is so interesting to play .
He also discuss what ’s next for Klaus and Katherine :
“ Well , there are going to be interesting developing with that . We ’ve got to bear in judgement this is someone who Klaus hunted down for 500 years . So she ’s going to want to do everything she can to obviate him , whether that ’s trying to vote out him or make peace with him or try on to broker a heap with him , that remains to be see , but absolutely not something that ’s brush over . ”

Zachary Quinto say he does n’t trust he will be back as a young character for season three :
I have n’t had any conversations about arrive back , so at this point I do n’t imagine I will be part of the third season as no one has bring up it to me and I know that they have been making other announcements for the cast . Which is fine , when I signed on for the 2d season , Ryan [ Murphy ] and I speak about it being a one year commitment and I think just where I am in my work and what I desire to execute I think it is good to have a little flexibility and a little fleck of freedom . So , at this point I do n’t really have any plan to go back …
