Paramount Sets A Tentative Release Date For Star Trek 2 By Devindra Hardawar/Jan. 8, 2010 10:12 pm EST ComingSoon is reporting that J.J. Abrams’ still untitled Star Trek sequel is now tentatively set for a June 29, 2012 release. The news comes directly from Paramount, and will likely disappoint those hoping for a quick turnaround 2011 date. As the Friday right before July 4th weekend, it’s a very strong date, and possibly a sign that the studio has a lot more faith in the sequel then they did in the first film (which was released on May 8, 2009)....

But with almost $800m in global ticket sales between the first two films, yes, it is happening. Again. And the guys who wrote Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for producer Jerry Bruckheimer are going to be the idea men....

I mean, they’re gonna remake everything,” said Dante. “They won’t be coming to me....

Stop-Loss Movie Poster By Hunter Stephenson/Jan. 21, 2008 11:24 pm EST MTV’s Movie Blog has posted the official one sheet for their satellite film branch’s Iraq War drama Stop-Loss. Starring Ryan Phillipe, Timothy Olyphant and Abbie Cornish, the film is also notable for lead roles played by Brick’s Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Channing Tatum. One wonders if the movie will end up being remembered more for starring two guys from G.I. Joe (Gordon-Levitt is confirmed, Tatum is rumored) rather than for making an important statement about the struggles of modern day U....
