Might happen separately with the Star Wars Story films and the Saga films with dual release, I'll probably invest in either a special case or trilogy box set once all is said and done. But I highly doubt they're going to cross the saga films over with the Star Wars Story films for box sets.

Oh SNAP Optimistically predicted a Jungle Book domestic opening of $105 million and a worldwide of $300 million. The actual figures? $103 million and $290 million respectively!

The novelisation is considered canon, as long as the content does not take away or go against that of the film. It mentions Poe's survival after the crash, Snoke talking a bit more about his origins, and about how Leia sent Kylo away without Han knowing (possibly when he was back on Kashyyyk with Chewie). I mean, he would have been pretty young then too, considering he was born within a year of the Battle of Endor. And haha, I've got to admit though, the box is very underwhelming! I don't understand a lot of people's problems with TFA myself though, from Rey beating Kylo to...nope, that's the main one.

The Force Awakens 3D IMAX was beautiful. Still don't get why major chains in the UK only seem to show IMAX 3D, though.

Thanks, apparently got my Google+ and forums mixed up!

Well, I'm not sure if Leia blames Luke for Kylo exactly. She's the one who sent him away, at the behest of Han, and that caused the rift amongst the family to grow. Also, the case is nothing special. And that certain person who appears at the end? They're on the back! (?!)

Almost forgot how much I LOVE this film!

Aguero as my FPL captain was a solid choice, then. But dammit, why against my own team Sergio?! WHY?!

Can I firstly just say...@Goafer, that's AWESOME! Oh, and I think I've just rediscovered my long lost confidence (intellectually and morally, perhaps in other senses too) and have reignited my passion to commitment for everything and anything. Almost 9 months after joining college, failing a bunch of tests and mocks. 1 month from the start of my AS exams. My fire is lit. 24 hours of past papers a week being my fuel, and my cooling down period being revision upon revision upon revision. Damn, I can do this! i think? I've had a terrible past 12 months, perhaps even 18. Actually, now I think about it, perhaps much longer. But that's something for the bad stuff thread, which I'll write up after I've done the bulk of my exams. Oh it's so good to be back in this mindset, where I'm full of glee and energy just because:) my mind is happy, my body is happy, I'M SO READY I AM THE NIGHT I'M BATMAN

The report doesn't make a mention of it being a remake. Unless you mean in the inspirational sense, such as with comics for comic book movies? Otherwise, I think there's been a bit of a misunderstanding.

So, everyone over on the forums on Serebii seem to want a rehash of already existing stories from either the movies, anime or games. Way to think big, guys...

But that goes against everything Pokémon is!

Well, never mind. Avatar 2 has apparently been dated for Christmas 2018... So where on earth does the Han Solo film move to? No way are they keeping it in the old typical Star Wars May spot, right?

Yeah, the first sequel being scheduled for 2014/15/16/17 and then moved due to Star Wars to 2018. Awfully cocky to announce four sequels (grown from two to three, and now to four in the last year or so), especially considering the current landscape of the film industry. Fox are probably thinking they'll make $2 billion+ on each. Hate to let them down, but the moviescape is so very different to how it was before. For the record, currently slated big Hollywood films for 2018 are: - January 12th - Blade Runner 2 - February 16th - Black Panther - March 2nd - A new Predator movie - March 16th - The Flash - March 30th - Ready Player One - May 4th - Avengers Infinity War - Part 1 - May 18th - Lego Movie sequel - May 25th - Han Solo: A Star Wars Story (likely subject to change) - June 8th - Godzilla 2 and Bumblebee Transformer standalone movie - June 15th - Toy Story 4 - June 22nd - Jurassic World sequel - June 29th - How to Train Your Dragon 3 - July 6th - Ant-Man and The Wasp - July 27th - Aquaman - October 5th - Untitled DCEU film (most likely The Batman) - October 19th - (Andy Serkis') Jungle Book - November 16th - Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2 *films in bold are proven properties (a superhero film, space opera epic, sequel, etc) **all subject to change and addition (especially Han Solo at this point) All I've got to say is...good luck navigating that asteroid field for the first sequel, Cameron and Fox.

single confirmed: Jason Segel is appearing in this film oh and woo HIMYM!

We're getting four sequels to James Cameron's Avatar. yay 2 is due 2018, 3 in 2020, 4 in 2022 and 5 in 2023. Each story will be individual but be part of an overarching plot.

That would be a terrible mistake for whoever gets it to make. A Pokémon shared universe of films would be like sitting on a gold mine. It would be like making every character in Star Wars connected throughout the saga and Star Wars Story films... I didn't read remake anywhere, though. Just 'live action Pokémon film'. live action Pokkén anyone?

Been waiting for this announcement since Affleck was announced as Batman. This film better be is going to be great!

I think if they went the anime route, it'd be extremely difficult. By all means, have a similarly designed group, but I really wouldn't want something like this to be a repeat of what we've already got with him in the anime... sigh Looking around at live action anime/manga concept art, and this one from the delayed Akira film is what I'd love for this film to look like. I mean, other than the helicopter shootings missiles at the characters in a densely populated city change that guy for Mewtwo and I'm totally on board

I agree, it seems like a stretch at this point in time, but, The Jungle Book live action film exhibits the technology which no doubt they'd try to use in such a project, and Sony and WB are after whatever they can get - Sony's movie division has been spiralling for years (hence the Spider-Man deal with Marvel Studios), and WB recently stated that they're paying less attention to home grown films and more attention to potential blockbusters. We should be able to gauge the possibility (and profitability) of such a project better by the end of the year, I think, after the release of the Warcraft and Assassin's Creed films. We haven't had a good video game live action film for a while now... if ever Would love to see you as a member of the staff at one of the Labs or a cameo giving a lecture on Pokémon! ...I really, really hope they go with new original characters.

Aha, hopefully not yet Pikachu, Link, Kirby, Mario...the real dream team of our childhood fantasies! (somewhat achieved in Smash Bros., but alas) This could go so very wrong, and it could also go so very right. If the right money is invested, CGI Pokémon could look astounding! But then it's a question of where/when/what/who/why/how, and that's where I'm really struggling at the moment. I mean, where? We have six (now potentially seven) main series regions alone at the moment, do we start back in Kanto? Would it be about the generic plot of the main series games (8 gyms, Elite Four, evil team) just C+P'd onto a new format? I certainly hope not... As for when, which universe does this take place in, if any? The main series canon? Anime canon? A new shared universe canon (and thinking about it, that would definitely have potential)? What? New plot, or a game retelling? And who? Is this going to be a live action version of the games, or a totally unique story, with new characters? In my opinion, the latter, as a mixed ethnic group, would be great for fans to see, but who do you get to act as them? Do you try to get Oscar talent or relative unknowns? I mean, we all know what happens when an actor can't react to CGI acting... And who do you get to direct it? It's pretty easy for Star Wars and Marvel or DC, as these properties are old enough to be helmed by a fan. Do you go with fan vision or a great director with little clue as to what's going on? So many questions... @Serebii, what are your thoughts on this possibility?

So, as many of you may or may not have heard by now, the rights to a live action Pokémon film are being fought over by none other than Legendary Entertainment, Warner Bros. Interactive and Sony. Now, we don't have any idea as to how this would go, but my original assumption is that it would be a CGI heavy film; and, for those doubting the credibility of such a film, you need look no further than Disney's The Jungle Book, which releases today, that CGI is at a point where it can handle everything but a human. Everything in that film other than Neel Sethi's Mowgli is CGI, and the whole thing was shot on a sound stage in Los Angeles, California. This is big news for both the gaming and movie world, and there's a heck of a lot to talk about here, which I'll do my best, along with others, to keep you updated on. You can view the original report, as reported by none other than The Hollywood Reporter, a very dependable source for all things movie news, here As I've said, a lot to talk about. What do you think? Should they do it? Should they not? What region/Pokémon do they use, if an existing one? Would it be part of the main series canon, anime canon, manga canon, or a completely new movie canon, possible growing into a shared movie universe in Marvel Cinematic Universe fashion? Would it be a success? And will it lead to more Nintendo property films? I have some extremely strong opinions about it myself!

YouTube. Damn, what a mess.

Most excited for Nintendo's presentation this year. Really, really hope that it lives up to the hype. Console reveal and confirmation for some awesome first party games? Yes please. After that, PlayStation. Haven't read much into the PS4.5/PS4K stuff, giving them the tools to wow me.

Oh snap. I checked about 15 minutes in and it was 2-0, dear oh dear, poor Dortmund! first post on here, yes, I'm a Chelsea supporter, and no, I'm not from London. I've supported them since I was 3, waking up to the highlights on a Sunday morning. And I was 3 before Abramovich purchased the club (I was 3 in 2001, for the record). And yes we've had a poor, poor season. But we'll be back.
