To what extent Spock will make an appearance remains unknown. The trailer, set to Lenny Kravitz’s Fly Away, did show a brief glimpse of Michael Burnham in Spock’s quarters observing the area.

“Spock is linked to these signals, and he needs help,” Michael says in the trailer.

“I love Jesse, I love that guy so much, I miss him!” Paul said of his Jesse Pinkman, cooking partner and former student to Bryan Cranston’s Walter White during a 10th anniversary panel for “Breaking Bad” at Thursday’s Comic-con.

It was ten years ago that audiences were introduced to the two characters which went on to become one of the biggest pop culture icons in TV history.

And on Thursday, that chemistry between the two and the whole cast is as fresh and palpable as if time has not passed since. And there’s added bonus of course of Aaron Paul bringing his adorable baby to the panel.

Fans were understandably ecstatic to see the cast in panel to mark the neo-western crime television series’ 10th anniversay, which included Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Giancarlo Esposito, Bob Odenkirk, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte and show creator Vince Gilligan.

Set and filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico andran from January 20, 2008 through September 29, 2013 on AMC, the series was a huge hit and widely regarded as one of the bet ever.

And even after the show has ended, the show’s spirit is kept alive by “Better Call Saul”, a prequel which explodes that same world. In fact, just before this panel was the cast and creators of ‘Saul’ which discussed Season 4 and answer fan questions, and which also received a very warm reception.

“You will not see Walt or Jesse in Season 4,” Gilligan said, referring to fan speculation about the characters appearing in Better Call Saul, which is set to premiere August 6 on AMC. “I would suspect we would be sorely remiss if these characters didn’t appear on this show before it ended.”

“There’s definitely a chance Bob Odenkirk is going to be on ‘Better Call Saul,’” Cranston joked.

By Creative Media Times

IFC Films

Starring Abbey Lee, Carla Gugino, Ciaran Hinds, Matthew Beard, Dylan Baker, IFC Films is set to open this summer on August 10 in New York and Los Angeles.

Variety’s Joe Leydon describes writer-director Sebastian Gutierrez’s effort “a clever “Bluebeard” update in this idiosyncratic gothic sci-fi melodrama” after its play last March at SXSW.

The film is described as a “a modern-day riff on the French folktale of Bluebeard (in which a violent nobleman in the habit of murdering his wives is confronted by a new wife trying to avoid the fate of her predecessors) ELIZABETH HARVEST is a science fiction thriller told from a young woman’s point of view, acting as both fairytale gone wrong and parable about female empowerment.”

Here’s the synopsis for “Elizabeth Harvest”:

Newlywed Elizabeth (Abbey Lee) arrives with her brilliant scientist husband Henry (Ciaran Hinds) to his magnificent estate, where he wows her with lavish dinners and a dazzling tour of the property. The house staff, Claire (Carla Gugino) and Oliver (Matthew Beard), treats her deferentially but she can’t shake the feeling something is off. Henry explains that everything in his world now belongs to her, all is for her to play in — all except for a locked-off room he forbids her from entering. When he goes away for business Elizabeth decides to investigate and finds she may not be who she thinks she is at all.

Universal Pictures

A new trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s much-anticipated “Glass” is about to debut this weekend during San Diego Comic-Con, and today Universal released a teaser to that trailer, something that’s become pretty common to major upcoming studio films.

The teaser features the voice of James McAvoy’s The Beast, the character in last year’s blockbuster “Split” who has multiple personalities over a shattering glass.

The superhero horror-thriller is supposed to be the third installment in Shyamalan’s series following “Unbreakable” (2000) and “Split.” The film brings together the cast of Unbreakable such as Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Spencer Treat Clark, and Charlayne Woodard with that of Split including McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy. Sarah Paulson is also joining the film.

“Glass” is set for released on January 18, 2019. While we await for the full trailer, here is the film’s partial synopsis:

Night Shyamalan brings together the narratives of two of his standout originals—2000’s Unbreakable, from Touchstone, and 2016’s Split, from Universal—in one explosive, all-new comic-book thriller: Glass.

From Unbreakable, Bruce Willis returns as David Dunn as does Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, known also by his pseudonym Mr. Glass. Joining from Split are James McAvoy, reprising his role as Kevin Wendell Crumb and the multiple identities who reside within, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, the only captive to survive an encounter with The Beast.

Following the conclusion of Split, Glass finds Dunn pursuing Crumb’s superhuman figure of The Beast in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men.

A once lost screenplay written by filmmaker Stanley Kubrick has been found after more than 60 years, The Guardian is reporting.

According to report, the screenplay titled “Burning Secret,” was written by the legendary filmmaker with American novelist and screenwriter Calder Willingham, who had also has screenplay credits with another Kubrick classic “Paths of Glory.”

“I couldn’t believe it. It’s so exciting. It was believed to have been lost,” says Nathan Abrams, a film professor and Kubrick scholar who found the screenplay. “Kubrick aficionados know he wanted to do it, [but] no one ever thought it was completed. We now have a copy and this proves that he had done a full screenplay.”

Based on Stefan Zweig’s 1913 novel, “Burning Secret” follows a lecherous man who befriends a young boy in order to secure his married mother at a spa resort.

The influential and controversial filmmaker is responsible for a broad range of classics including “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968), “A Clockwork Orange” (1971), Barry Lyndon (1975), “The Shining” (1980) and Full Metal Jacket (1987).

Kubrick died in 1999 at the age of 70, shortly after completing his last film “Eyes Wide Shut,” the controversial erotic drama starring then husband and wife Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
