What will Steven Spielberg direct next? Sources are swirling in Tinseltown that maybe, just maybe, he’ll be returning to a particular popular archaeology professor. Last year it was reported that Spielberg was definitely planning a 5th installment in the Indiana Jones franchise, and Kathleen Kennedy confirmed (in 2015) that both Steven and Harrison Ford were interested in coming back for […]

I just got done with my Blade Runner: 2049 screening, and this will be one of two reviews (at least) I will write.  Without pretense, I am completely astounded and blown away.  In a statement from director Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Arrival) read before the film started, we were asked not to reveal key plot points and I will honor […]

One of the most celebrated years of film releases in the history of cinema, 1982 has probably the best spread of science fiction and genre releases ever.  We had Mad Max: The Road Warrior, Conan: The Barbarian, Poltergeist, Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, E.T., The Thing, Megaforce, Tron, The Secret of NIHM, The Beast Master, Pink Floyd: The Wall, The Last Unicorn, The Dark Crystal, and the […]

Arguably one of the most anticipated films of 2017 is director Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049, a sequel to the genre defining Ridley Scott 1982 film. The announcement of a sequel came right around the release of Prometheus, and the project had been kicking around the ether for several years until it was jumpstarted by writers Hampton Francher (who also wrote the ’82 […]

Thanks to the sharp eyes of our friends over at A Perfect Organism podcast, they noticed a recent interview that TheTRENDTalk did with Edward James Olmos where host Bel Hernandez confronts Olmos about his having insisted to her (and to everyone who’s asked him) for months that he either wasn’t going to be in the upcoming […]

Blade Runner remains the pinnacle of achievement in science fiction cinematic storytelling. Ridley Scott’s 1982 futuristic film noir continues to be inspirational, and a constant touchstone for the genre. Oscar nominated director Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, upcoming Dune reboot) is in the hot seat for the film. Here is the first trailer Warner Brothers released: A […]

Blade Runner remains a pinnacle of Science Fiction film with it’s melding of storytelling and visual achievements (which STILL hold up to today’s standards). A film adaptation of Phillip K. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Ship”, Ridley Scott presented audiences with a slick noir piece that just happened to be about humanoid robots, Replicants, and […]

Arguably one of the most stunning films ever made is getting a sequel.  We’ve known that for awhile now, rumors circulating about the Blade Runner 2nd film have been reaching fever pitches since right after Prometheus hit theaters. Today we have our first bit of concrete news about the return to Replicants and not-so-far-away futuristic Los Angeles.  12 […]

There is something truly magical about Ridley Scott’s 1982 masterpiece Blade Runner.  Many of the epic science fiction films of today are held to the standard Scott set when the first view of a futuristic Los Angeles graced the screen. It still holds up, too.  If you haven’t purchased the amazing blu-ray set, you should.  But, […]

The interwebs lit up about a week ago with news that Harrison Ford suffered an injury on the Star Wars VII set when one of the hydrolically powered doors attached to the Millenium Falcon malfunctioned.  Reports varied from “life threatening, critical condition, airlifted” to “he’s fine, nothing happened, it’s just a sprain/flesh wound”. Things even went so […]
