As is the way of things with new Star Wars movies, the rumors have flown thick and fast about Rogue One , which is headed our way this December. Now, cutting through the unofficial chatter comes Entertainment Weekly, using its latest cover to report that Darth Vader will indeed be making an appearance in the new movie. That locks down a long-touted rumour that the world's wheeziest villain will indeed be part of the Imperial effort to keep the plans for the first Death Star out of rebel hands (nice going, dude) and that he'll be acting, per usual, as the Emperor's enforcer. Which will be a subject of concern and fear for Ben Mendelsohn's Director Krennic. Who's in the Vader suit? It's not stated, but you can bet James Earl Jones has been tapped to record that memorable rumbling voice. Gareth Edwards has been shooting (and, as has been extensively reported, re-shooting) the film, which includes some impressive-looking new (or old, given the movie's pre-E

Star Wars stand-alone movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will undergo several weeks’ worth of additional shooting, sources have confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. Much of the cast and director Gareth Edwards will regroup in mid-June for another round of shooting. The move is happening after execs screened the film and felt it was tonally off with what a “classic” Star Wars movie should feel like. The pic has not yet been tested before audiences, but one source describes the cut as having the feel of a war movie. The goal of the reshoots will be to lighten the mood, bring some levity into the story and restore a sense of fun to the adventure. Rogue One focuses on the fabled mission hinted at in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, that of a group of rebels stealing the plans to the Death Star. The plans later end up in the hands of Princess Leia, who transfers them to R2-D2. “This is the closest thing to a prequel ever,” a source tells THR. “This takes place just before

He'd previously gone as far as to say that he isn't playing a villain. Now Mads Mikkelsen has evaded the spoiler police once again and revealed a little bit more about his role in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story . If you consider such things to be spoilers, read no further, young Padawan. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Trailer- So Felicity Jones is playing a rebellious soldier called Jyn Erso, and it turns out that Mikkelsen's character has what you might call a blood tie to Jones'. "I read the script and it was very beautiful," Mikkelsen told Sky News, "and Felicity is playing this lovely, strong woman and I play her father." We still don't know his character's name, but we're going to hazard that "Erso" is in there somewhere. Mr Alan Erso, perhaps. Head of the PTA at Yavin High. Extrapolating properly, we might surmise that Erso Sr. and his daughter are somewhat estranged, since we know from the trailer that Jyn brough

Outside of great action sequences, the weak sequel fails to keep our attention. Review by Matt Cummings To say that 2000's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is still a beloved film might be an understatement. The winner of four Oscars and nominated for six more, the film was a worldwide sensation, proving that Kung-Fu wasn't skin deep and that character dramas could exist quite well alongside insanely good action. But that was nearly two decades ago: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny barely warrants our attention, reminding us that sometimes follow-ups are hampered by the original, and other times betrayed by their own motives. Set 20 years after the death of Li Mu Bai, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny , sees our heroine Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) living a life of solitude. While travelling to the funeral of an old friend, her convoy is attacked by the powerful Hades Dai (Jason Scott Lee). With the help of an unknown ally (Donnie Y
