For a long time Star Wars fans have been clamoring for Disney/Lucasfilm to re-release the original, unaltered cut of the first Star Wars trilogy, and Comicbook.com  has now confirmed with two independent reliable sources that just such a plan is under way. According to our sources, Disney has plans to release the original cut of the Star Wars trilogy on Blu-ray. Our sources indicate that the project has been under way for quite some time, but it’s been challenging because of some damage to the original negatives they are utilizing. The goal is to release A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of Jedi in their complete, unaltered, original form without the redone special edition SFX. Our sources did not have an exact date as to when the original cut of the Star Wars Trilogy would be released on Blu-ray, due to the challenges Disney has encountered in pulling everything together. However, our sources indicated the goal is to have it ready and released before Star Wars Episode V

Clearly emboldened by the success of Maleficent and without waiting to see how its latest adaptations of Cinderella or The Jungle Book perform, Disney has been digging through its animated archives again and has come up with Dumbo . Transformers: Age Of Extinction writer Ehren Kruger has been hired to turn the elephant tale into a live action adventure. Presumably, this updated take on the 1941 classic will blend CG with real-world settings to re-tell the tale of the elephant born with comically huge ears. Initially mocked for his giant lobes, Dumbo has the last laugh – and learns some important life lessons to boot – when his best pal, Timothy Q. Mouse, helps him learn how to fly. It’s early days for the new project, which so far only boasts Kruger on writing duty with Tron: Legacy producer Justin Springer set to produce. Dumbo represents the latest ‘toon title the Mouse House is pushing into the remake machinery; Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella is due out next March while The Ju

Here's why we like Marvel's plan to keep you in theaters until 2028.  By: Matt Cummings Marvel Studios has redefined the way we watch movies - what other film series consistently keeps the audience in their seats to wade through the credits?  Their pull has forced a paradigm shift in the way movies and entertainment are marketed and distributed.  Other studios, feeling much like a schoolkid who gets dunked on by the larger stronger baller, are trying to follow suit, but their efforts have been spotty and are short-sighted.  DC's demand to merge Batman vs Superman into a glorified Justice League film demonstrate just how desperate they are to tap in to Marvel's mojo without really knowing how to achieve it. In its first week, WS made over $96 million worldwide. Take the release of  Captain America: The Winter Soldier , a film we personally love, not because we're superfans, but because it's good...really, really good.   Built up slowly and through

Muppets Most Wanted Review By: Matt Cummings The sequel Muppets Most Wanted is typical Muppets zaniness, and that's awesome for us. Among the most pleasant surprises of 2011 was the return of Jim Henson's Muppets in The Muppets . An emotional reunion filled with all the classic Muppet ingredients - memorable songs and zany comedy - it made a huge splash among old and new fans alike. Whether that winning formula could be repeated in a sequel has been the subject of debate among those who lovingly grew up with Sesame Street and later The Muppet Show , but who also worried that Disney might not give it the free reign it deserved. Luckily, Muppets Most Wanted recaptures that magic in many ways, but forgivingly misses in a few others. As the curtain literally draws on the last Muppets movie, the team realizes that their newly-rediscovered stardom is not as great as they thought. Feeling a bit desperate for direction, they hire the sneaky agent Dominic Badguy
