The Fast & Furious director has been chosen to replace Roberto Orci. The story of Star Trek 3 's production problems have unfortunately overtaken the actual shooting and planned release of the film, leaving Trekkers to worry about the future for this divisive reboot franchise. One big question was answered on Monday, as Paramount announced that Justin Lin was signed to direct, taking over the center chair for the departed Roberto Orci (whose stays on to produce). The question of whether Lin was the right choice certainly is a valuable one. Known for directing four of the successful Fast & Furious films, Lin brings a fast-car style of excitement that Star Trek has never had. He's a proven commodity on big budget productions, essentially breathing in new life to a franchise that had honestly gotten stale - you can only show so many hot women, fast cars, and actors who can't act before audiences ask for more. Perhaps it's time for Star Trek to return to it

This week's opening of Studio Movie Grill adds a new player to the board, but suffers from opening night jitters. Review by Matt Cummings It doesn't happen too often when I get invited to merge my two favorite things to do in public - eating and watching movies - above anything other than soda and popcorn. This week's opening of Studio Movie Grill in Rocklin, CA gave me just such a chance, ushering in a new way to enjoy your favorite movie, even if the service suffered from opening day jitters. The Facility When you drive up to theater, you're welcomed by two lit rectangular fountains, leading to the main doors. There's no standard glass service desk: you actually go into an open airy lobby where attendants with flat-screen monitors assist you in buying your ticket. There's also kiosks on each side for those who use online services to purchase tickets. Once you past the frosted glass here, it's a different ballgame: you're treated to a fu

Warner Bros. unleashed this NEW trailer for Ron Howard’s IN THE HEART OF THE SEA starring Oscar winner Ron Howard (“A Beautiful Mind”) directs the action adventure “In the Heart of the Sea,” starring Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker and Cillian Murphy , based on Nathaniel Philbrick’s best-selling book about the dramatic true journey of the Essex. In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. “In the Heart of the Sea” reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their ca

The second trailer for FOCUS starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie .

Three years later, the former flame—now an accomplished femme fatale—shows up in Buenos Aires in the middle of the high stakes racecar circuit. In the midst of Nicky’s latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop…and the consummate con man off his game. “Focus” is written and directed by Glenn Ficarra & John Requa (“Crazy, Stupid, Love.”). Denise Di Novi (“Crazy, Stupid, Love.”) is the producer, with Charlie Gogolak and Stan Wlodkowski serving as executive producers. The cast is headed by Oscar nominee Will Smith (“The Pursuit of Happyness,” “Ali,”), Margot Robbie (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), Rodrigo Santoro (the “300” films) and Gerald McR
