Simon Pegg Takes A Pop At The Star Wars Prequels...Again.

Simon Pegg is at it again. He just can't seem to help himself running down the prequels. In an interview with Total Film

"What will he bring to the franchise? Everything that was missing from the last three.

"That's what he did to Star Trek, really - invigorate it with a little bit of Star Wars magic. He switched it from science fiction to science fantasy.

"And I think if anyone can pull [Star Wars] out of the mire, it's JJ. He'll bring the fun back. Lucas seemed to misread what made the first ones great, and concentrate on things that people didn't really care about, or wilfully ignore the things that people cared about. Whereas JJ will embrace them all."

Its amazing that even though he has always expressed his dislike for the Star Wars prequels and continues to, he managed to get work on The Clone Wars (set in the prequel universe) and expresses his interest in appearing in the new Star Wars movies. Maybe he should concentrate more on his performance as Scotty in the Star Trek movies which even though Into Darkness was practically perfect, the weakest point as with the 2009 movie is Pegg's Scotty.

It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth?

Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA. This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company.
