First Look: An Astronaut Sharlto Copley in Sci-Fi 'The Europa Project'

Don't get too excited, this isn't Neill Blomkamp's new project retitled, it's another sci-fi movie that Sharlto Copley is in that he just finished shooting. ComingSoon found a first look photo in the latest Entertainment Weekly for The Europa Project and scanned it. Directed by Ecuadorian filmmaker Sebastián Cordero, Copley stars as one of six astronauts who make the arduous journey to Jupiter's frigid, glacial moon Europa in search of extraterrestrial life. How come I don't remember hearing too much about this, because it sounds awesome! Right after making this, he'll go onto Neill Blomkamp's sci-fi Elysium, too. View the scan below!

Spider-Man Viral Kicks Off with Peter Parker's Backpack Clue Pickup

By Alex Billington

Finally, the viral game we've been waiting for this year has kicked off! Earlier in the week, after the premiere of the new trailer for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, we mentioned a new viral website for the Mark of the Spider-Man that launched. Since then, a twitter has launched @markofspiderman and has been spouting GPS locations all day. Where do they lead? Local pick-ups in six cities of a backpack, Peter Parker's backpack to be specific, containing a sketchbook and more school items. Hidden in there was a clue which pointed to a page on the viral site which then unlocked a countdown on the main website. It's time.

Check These Out: Flashy Capitol Motion Posters for 'Hunger Games'

By Alex Billington

Smile Away! Something fun for all the Hungers Games fans out there. Some "viral" marketing has popped up (via ComingSoon) in the form of ads from the Capitol for The Hunger Games movie, featuring three characters. Each one is basically an ad for a colorful product in the Capitol. There's one for Cinna, played by Lenny Kravitz, Katniss' stylist; one for Seneca Crane, played by Wes Bently, the Head Gamemaker; and one for interviewer Caesar Flickerman, played by Stanley Tucci, who looks like he's been distorted so much just to hide it's even him. These are kind of fun and flashy, more from the universe of Hunger Games.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 3D

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

There's pod racing, Sith Lords, lightsaber battles, space battles, and now its been converted to 3D and re-released in theaters again. So how is this newest Star Wars update?

We've got a fun exclusive first look today at a new web series starting up in the next few months (premiering on The Escapist on February 24th) called Space Janitors, that is indeed inspired by Star Wars, about two human custodians working on board a battle station for the evil Empire.

Wait, What?! George Lucas Asserts That Greedo Always Shot First?

By Ethan Anderton

It's been a point of contention amongst fanboys since 1997 when Star Wars (again, I will not call it A New Hope) returned to theaters in Special Edition form complete with new special effects, creatures and remastered sound and picture. However, one of the biggest changes to the film came in the form of an extra split second of footage in the Mos Eisley cantina in which Han Solo is confronted by Greedo. Now in the original film, Solo blasts Greedo without a second thought, but in the Special Edition, galactic history is rewritten to have Greedo taking the first shot. However, George Lucas never saw it that way. More below!

Doug Trumbull Speaks Again on How Mind-Boggling His New Sci-Fi Is

By Alex Billington

The way this guy speaks about his upcoming projects sounds like he's bringing the second coming of cinema in the near future. We've been keeping tabs on visual effects maestro Douglas Trumbull, aka Doug, for a while as he's been back in the fray since doing the FX work on The Tree of Life. Trumbull was at the VES Awards ceremony this week and our friend Todd at the Hollywood Reporter interviewed him, and it's quite a tremendous piece. He speaks in depth about the state of the industry and FX world, and also goes in depth into his upcoming "120FPS 3D" sci-fi movie we've been hearing about. And it sounds mind-blowing already.

There's Already a Promo Poster with Danny Trejo for 'Machete Kills'

By Ethan Anderton

Though the project was just announced this week, Machete Kills has been making the rounds at the Berlin Film Market. That means aside from the attached cast, including Danny Trejo as the titular bad-ass Mexican, there had to be something tangible to help sell the film. Enter a sales promo poster that ComingSoon has discovered with a familiar face and a whole lot of blood. It's pretty self-explanatory what this film is going to be, and if you haven't seen the original, then you wouldn't probably be interested anyway. There's no cast or credits listed yet, so deals are probably still being closed, but check it out below!

Will Smith & Shyamalan Tweet Out Tropical 'After Earth' Set Photos

By Alex Billington

So are they still on Earth or somewhere else? I'm not normally a fan of set photos, but these images come straight from the source(s) themselves - Will Smith and director M. Night Shyamalan (yea I know, give him a chance), plus screenwriter Gary Whitta always tweets plenty about it as well. They're all currently making a movie called After Earth, a new science fiction movie starring Will Smith and his son Jaden, who crash land on a "planet", which I'm sure is just Earth, many years in the future. They're getting ready to start shooting, and the photos (via Collider) include shots of Smith on location in beautiful, tropical Costa Rica.

Billy Connolly Joins 'The Hobbit' Cast as Dwarf Warrior Dain Ironfoot

By Alex Billington

They're not done with The Hobbit yet! Still shooting, still casting, until today! Deadline reports that Peter Jackson has cast Billy Connolly in the role of Dain Ironfoot, a great dwarf warrior and cousin of Thorin Oakenshield. Jackson announces the news: "We could not think of a more fitting actor to play Dain Ironfoot, the stanchest and toughest of Dwarves, than Billy Connolly, the Big Yin himself. With Billy stepping into this role, the cast of The Hobbit is now complete. We can't wait to see him on the Battlefield!" Me either! This is great news to round off their casting, as Connolly is a fan-favorite character actor and fine addition.
