J.J. Abrams On His Love Of STAR WARS; "It Was Like Another Echelon Of Mind Expansion"

Posted: 31 Mar 2013 11:07 AM PDT

In the latest issue of Empire Magazine, J.J. Abrams reveals that he is a HUGE fan of Downton Abbey. Far more interesting to us however is his love of Star Wars. After reinventing the Star Trek franchise with the 2009 reboot, the highly anticipated sequel to that movie - Star Trek Into Darkness - will hit this year, while the prolific filmmaker will then tackle Episode VII for LucasFilm and Disney soon after. Below he talks in detail about why exactly he loves the franchise, although we probably shouldn't expect to see any special editions of his upcoming Star Wars movies, as Abrams reveals that he decided to share the original theatrical cuts when introducing the movie to his children. "[Star Wars] did comedy, it did drama, it did romance, it did action-adventure, it did spectacle and scope and scale. When I saw that movie it was like another echelon of mind

    BOX OFFICE: G.I. JOE: RETALIATION Continues To Dominate; Currently At $132M Globally

    Posted: 31 Mar 2013 10:19 AM PDT

    We weren't big fans of G.I. Joe: Retaliation here (although we have a few more reviews to come; you can read mine here) but audiences have been flocking to it. Paramount reckon the sequel to G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra opened with a global gross of $132 million, which is +35% ahead of the worldwide opening of its predecessor. The movie currently holds the best international opening of 2013, surpassing Oz The Great And Powerful by 15% despite only opening in 75% of the world and has left other new openers The Croods, Tyler Perry's Temptations and The Host in the dust. Have you seen it yet? If not, do you intend to or have the reviews put you off? Sound off in the usual place.

    Top 5 Stories For The Week Ending 03/29/2013 Georges St-Pierre Playing 'Batroc the Leaper' In CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Batroc the Leaper has been a longtime foe for Captain America in the pages of Marvel Comics. He's an expert martial artist that has a fighting style that places an emphasis on well...leaping. C-listers like Crossbones (Frank Grillo) and Batroc must be working for someone else right? Robert Redford is playing a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. so that theoretically rules him out as the film's main baddie. With shooting expected to begin in a few weeks, we should be hearing news on this front in the coming days.

    Beetlejuice seems to be genereally more feared and have more 'powers' than the other ghosts. The other dead can do some trivial tricks, where Beetlejuice can create doors the sandworm desert, animate inanimate objects, teleport people, and be generally troublesome.
