From everything that I’ve seen in the [“TMNT”] script and the
development and everything they’ve asked my input on specifically, it’s
gonna be an awesome, familiar, solid “Turtles” movie. It’ll have
everything that fans are gonna want and then some.
STAR WARS

JURASSIC PARK
Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) missed on on directing STAR WARS VII, but to make up for it he’s directing JURASSIC PARK 4. Of course, he will Shoot in 3D (via Collider)
FIREFLY
This week saw the most successful Kickstarter campaign ever when the Veronica Mars Project movie reached it’s goal of $2,000,000 in 10 minutes. To answer the inevitable question No, Joss Whedon is not going to Kickstart a Firefly movie… for now (via io9)
SPIDER-MAN

I'd fund another Firefly movie!
Mashup poster is funny.
Now if it were March Madness Star Trek, I'd join the fun.
I think "Serenity" wrapped up the main plot points of "Firefly" well enough. And it wouldn't be the same without Wash. Maybe they can do a Firefly prequel at some point.
that phone case is a must have… the spider-beard man… creepy, i mean C R E E P Y….
Interesting that you choose the Wonder Woman review to include. I'd been looking forward to writing that one for months…
Love the Star Wars/Little Miss Sunshine mashup!
It's a good post Tony!
The creepiest thing is I keep wondering what he used to hold it together. Ewwww…
It was a worthy sequel Pat and answered a lot of questions. Knowing Whedon though, I'm sure there are plenty more. A prequel could work, but without the original actors, the fans would riot.
Maybe next year Alex!
