Earlier this year, J.J. Abrams ’ treatment for Superman Flyby leaked online, providing a peak beneath the blue tights at what the Star Trek director had planned for the last son of Krypton. The movie would have been an origin story involving a civil war on Krypton, the exile of Kal-El and a new villain, Ty-Zor, but sadly it never saw the light of day. According to Abrams, though, it wouldn't have been a million miles from what Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel is shaping up to be. “The thing that I tried to emphasise in the story was that if the Kents found this boy, Kal-El, who had the power that he did, he would have most likely killed them both in short order,” Abrams told Empire. “And the idea that these parents would see – if they were lucky to survive long enough – that they had to immediately begin teaching this kid to limit himself and to not be so fast, not be so strong, not be so powerful. “The result of that, psychologically, would be fear of oneself, self-doubt and b

Who is going to play Christian Grey ? It looks like Stephen Amell knows a bit more about that than we do. With a film version of E.L. James' sexy best seller " 50 Shades Of Grey " in development at Universal, fan have been spending a lot of time speculating who will star in the steamy drama. And while Emma Watson has been getting just plain ornery about reports she'll be playing Anastasia Steele , another actor has just dropped some pretty serious hints that he's in the running to play the mysterious Christian Grey . Stephen Amell , best known for playing the title role in the TV series " Arrow ," has been getting some buzz as a potential Mr. Grey, and he addressed the rumors in a video he posted on his Facebook page . "I get questions about Christian Grey all the time," Amell said in the video. "That project is a long way off. I know this ... because I had a meeting about it. LONG way off. I mean, not THAT long. But not close.

Hero is a word we hear often in sports, but heroism is not always about achievements on the field of play. " 42 " tells the story of two men—the great Jackie Robinson and trailblazing Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey—whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. From Academy Award® winner Brian Helgeland ("L.A. Confidential") comes the real-life drama " 42 ," starring Chadwick Boseman ("The Express") as Jackie Robinson and Oscar® nominee Harrison Ford ("Witness") as Branch Rickey . In 1947, Branch Rickey put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking Major League Baseball's infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and other players. Facing blatant racism from every side, even his own team, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous

Stoker Review By: MattInRC The murder/thriller  Stoke r  is one part weird, another part straight up Cray-Cray. But it's good. Of the strangest films of all time, one must place the zany The Dark Backward or even the mother of weirdness Begotten at the top. Yet a movie doesn't need to feature a hand growing out of your back, or depict the beginning of the world devoid of any comprehensible speaking lines to compete with these top performers. It's in this off light of comparison that the Nicole Kidman film Stoker settles in, offering itself as a strong candidate; sensually violent, completely unapologetic in its depictions, and cleverly directed, Stoker will infuriate some with its plodding but amaze many more with its disturbing storytelling and terrific acting. India Stoker ( Mia Wasikowska , Alice in Wonderland) has just buried her father Richard ( Dermot Mulroney , J. Edgar) after he perished in a violent car accident. Atop a nearby hill in the ceme

Admission Review By: MattInRC The Princeton get-into-college movie Admission doesn't make the grade. And soon after it starts, we don't care.   Warning: major plot spoilers ahead. Admission seeks to be a dramedy about the new world order: torment its cast with real-life difficulties and leave their futures uncertain, all while comedic interludes are supposed to encourage laughter from an audience who thought they paid for something else. Yes, Admission attempts this lofty but completely unrealistic goal, leaving us to question why we bothered to witness the result. Princeton admissions officer Portia Nathan ( Tina Fey , 30 Rock) lives a well-ordered but boring existence. In addition to pouring through applications for admission, her routines also include speaking engagements throughout Northeast high schools encouraging students to apply to what was the most applied-to school in the country. Even though her life is unfulfilled she's up for a promotion to dean

Mention the name JJ Abrams and there’s one question that immediately barges all others aside: what’s the plan for Episode VII ? While he was able to approach Star Trek with a detached objectivity, how will he, as a huge Star Wars fan approach Star Wars' bold new era? Empire put that question to the man himself when we recently sat down with him at his Bad Robot offices in LA. “I don’t know because we’re just getting started. So it’s a great question that I hope I’ll have a good answer to when I know what the answer is. There are infinitely more questions than answers right now, but to me, they’re not that dissimilar. Though I came at these both from very different places, where they both meet is a place of ‘Ooh, that’s really exciting.’ And even though I was never a Star Trek fan, I felt like there was a version of it that would make me excited, that I would think ‘that’s cool, that feels right, I actually would want to see that. “How we were going to get there, what the choi

The futuristic Chicago of " Divergent " has just found another resident. After months of being a "maybe," Academy Award-winner Kate Winslet has joined the Erudite faction in Neil Burger's upcoming adaptation of the YA hit as Jeanine Matthews. The original reports of Winslet's involvement in " Divergent " came back in January when Variety claimed the actress was nearing a deal, but neglected to specify which role she would take on. Two popular theories soon followed, one suggesting that Winslet play the mother of Tris, the film's heroine (played by heroine played by Shailene Woodley ), and the other suggesting Jeanine, the more morally ambiguous role. " Divergent ," based on the book by Veronica Roth, tells the story of Beatrice "Tris" Prio, who lives in Chicago sometime in the future, after the social structures as we know them have collapsed. Society is now split up into five separate factions, each valuing one attribu
