Captain America: The Winter Soldier Concept Art Reveals New Look at The Winter Soldier

Posted: 02 May 2013 11:00 AM PDT

Captain America: The Winter Soldier was conceived as a 1970s-style conspiracy thriller in tone, explained Marvel's Kevin Feige as he revealed a new piece of concept art featuring the lead villain. As evidenced in this second look at the character, Marvel and Disney aren't keeping their bad guy under wraps like a lot of other big franchises. Sebastian Stan is reprising his role as Bucky from the first film, who was last seen taking a plunge off an icy train. He returns as a brainwashed assassin bioengenered to take out Captain America. Take a look as The Winter Soldier catches Cap's iconic shield with one hand.

Kevin Feige explained more of the storyline to Entertainment Weekly.

"We weren't going back to World War II. Cap cannot travel in time. So while Tony can go home to Malibu and Thor goes up to Asgard and Hulk can sort of ride the rails, Cap was stuck.

So Cap does stay with S.H.I.E.L.D. because he has nowhere else to go. But he's not necessarily comfortable there. As you might imagine, somebody who's spent 70 years in ice, frozen, wakes up and has to fight a bunch of aliens with a bunch of weirdos-he is trying to figure out what his life is."

Kevin Feige explains that the film is a conspiracy thriller that has deep ties to Steve Rogers' past.

"Just as he's given permission to let go of the past and to focus on the modern world... a ghost comes up. I had my first meeting with Robert Redford, and he had read the script and he goes, 'You know I did a movie once called Three Days of Condor, and it really felt ...' And I was like [widens eyes ], 'Uh-huh ...

With the greatest generation in World War II, there's a tendency to reflect on that period and say. 'Things were black and white back then, and now it's hard to know who the bad guys are. We wanted to play on that a little with Cap being uncomfortable with the way S.H.I.E.L.D., and in particular Nick Fury, operates.

Fury certainly rides a line, sort of rides the shadows. He has, I think, lied to every character in every movie, though always for seemingly for the good."

Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes to theaters April 4th, 2014 and stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Robert Redford, Frank Grillo. The film is directed by Anthony Russo, Joe Russo.

Star Wars: Episode VII Will Focus on the Core of the Characters Says J.J. Abrams

Posted: 02 May 2013 09:58 AM PDT

J.J. Abrams reveals Star Wars: Episode VII is a once-in-a-lifetime experience

With Star Trek Into Darkness hitting theaters in just a few weeks, director J.J. Abrams has been making the press rounds, where the talk naturally gravitates towards Star Wars: Episode VII. The filmmaker revealed that he initially said no to directing the sci-fi sequel because he didn't want to be seen strictly as a director who only reboots franchises.

"It was one of the main reasons I initially said no to Star Wars. I thought, 'I can't be that guy.'"

However, it didn't take long for the director to realize this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"There's a story that we are working on that's a small comedy drama, that I assumed would be the next movie I was going to direct. And then Star Wars came along. It was one of those things where Star Wars felt like one of those once in a lifetime opportunities that forced me to stop and reconsider whatever the rulebook was."

While he didn't discuss any specific story details, J.J. Abrams did break down his approach to the franchise.

"It's just about about approaching it from as authentic a place as possible, and not trying to apply what you believe or think, as much as trying to filter everything and get at it from the core of the characters. [It should be] what you deeply want to see, never what you assume the fans might like."

When asked if he was worried that both his Star Trek and Star Wars will have the same look and feel, the filmmaker revealed he was not concerned about that aspect.

"To me they are such wildly disparate universes - the back story, the tone, the mood, certainly the history [and] the characters - that I'm in no way worried."

It isn't known when production will begin on Star Wars: Episode VII, which is being written by Michael Arndt (Oblivion, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire).

Star Wars: Episode VII comes to theaters in 2015 and stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels. The film is directed by J.J. Abrams.

7 TV Gigs Tailor-Made for Lindsay Lohan — Once She Leaves Rehab

Posted: 02 May 2013 10:16 AM PDT

With Lindsay Lohan starting a 90-day stint in rehab on Thursday, we're hoping that once she gets out in August, she can keep herself busy and gainfully employed with a return to TV.

Lohan's last TV appearance on pal Charlie Sheen's Anger Management in April was a modest success. She played a caricature of her public persona -- named Lindsay, of course -- who consults Charlie (Sheen) for anger counseling, complete with shtick references to her notorious personal life, including drugs (donut powder mistaken for cocaine) and court dates. Despite receiving a mixed chorus of jeers, the Anger Management gig got this endorsement from Newsday: "There was an ember of something that seemed totally lost in all the coverage, headlines and nonsense of the last few years: Lohan actually has some talent."

Chris Hemsworth Visits Asgard in Thor: The Dark World Photo

Posted: 02 May 2013 10:25 AM PDT

Chris Hemsworth and Mjolnir stand at the center of a massive battlefield in the latest photo for Thor: The Dark World. Take a look and then read on for more information about this Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones) directed sequel.

Marvel's resident pitchman Kevin Feige told Entertainment Weekly more about this upcoming Asgard adventure, which finds Thor contemplating his role as a leader.

"I would say there's a question of what happens when you're now seemingly ready for something, but don't necessarily want it anymore. That's part of his internal struggle.

Tony Stark wasn't perfect at the end of Iron Man 1, and I don't think Thor is perfect at the end of Thor 1 -- particularly in his relationship with his brother, considering what he went through in Marvel's The Avengers."

Kevin Feige then went onto explain what director Alan Taylor is bringing to this franchise.

"Alan is bringing a grittier, more visceral, more textured patina to the designs of the worlds, and to Asgard in particular. It's less to chase either Game of Thrones or The Lord of the Rings -- because you're not going to catch up. But part of the fun of Thor over the other characters is he doesn't have to stay on Earth. We visit a few of the other realms in this new movie."

Thor: The Dark World comes to theaters November 8th, 2013 and stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Ray Stevenson, Kat Dennings, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Christopher Eccleston. The film is directed by Alan Taylor.
