Star Wars Episode 7 cast begins to assemble
We’ve begun our long in-depth search through the waves of both legitimate and falsified information coming in surrounding Star Wars Episode VII, the first in a series of three films born of Disney’s recent acquisition of Lucasfilm. What we’re seeing here extremely early on in the game is very few solid details and an overflow of rumors the likes of which we’ve only come to see from the release of an iPhone – imagine that. At the outset, we’ve got this: Michael Arndt is attached as writer and George Lucas will indeed be involved.

Star Wars Episode 7 scheduled for 2015: yes, really!
George Lucas has taken the opportunity here in his lifetime to make a deal with Disney this week to sell his company Lucasfilm and all rights to the Star Wars empire, this ushering in news that nearly as large: a new Star Wars movie will appear in 2015! The Lucasfilm company is being transferred to Disney for an agreement in cash and stocks for $4.05 billion USD, a number strikingly similar to the total amount of cash the Star Wars franchise has earned in box office cash to date: $4.4 billion. Don’t get those two numbers mixed up – meanwhile, get pumped up for Star Wars Episode 7 in less than three years!
Iron Man 3 Trailer video up in teaser of teaser
You're a lucky person if you're looking for a teaser of a teaser for Iron Man 3, because Marvel has just blasted us all directly in the face with 17 seconds of video you'll never forget. This teaser trailer is a teaser of a teaser - strange as that may be - with visions of a new inverted Iron Man suit, the back of Ben Kingsley's head, and lots of inception "BWOM" feelings with electronic buzzing blasts in the audio department. Needless to say, this trailer doesn't exactly tell us a whole lot.

LOOPER movie Review
Any review of the movie LOOPER that tells you essentially any elements of the plot is going to be written by a jerk who doesn’t want you to get the full movie experience – take that to the bank. What we’re going to talk about here and now is how you need to see the movie and what sort of mood you need to be in. LOOPER is a time travel movie when you go into it, and a bit of a baffling mystery wrapped inside an enigma when you walk out of it – but you wont be walking right out of it, you’ll be sitting in the chair thinking about what you just watched, just like you’re supposed to while the credits are rolling.
LOOPER time travel gets real in SlashGear’s chat with Dr Edward Farhi
It’s almost time for the big drop of the new science fiction action time travel blockbuster LOOPER to hit theaters, so SlashGear took the opportunity to speak with none other than Dr. Edward Farhi of real-life time travel study fame. What we learn from Farhi, aka Director at the Center for Theoretical Physics at MIT, is that time travel into the future is indeed very possible – theoretically – but that backwards movement – like LOOPER suggests – just isn’t in the cards.
Aliens: Colonial Marines will have female characters according to Gearbox
Back in July, reports indicated that the video game based on the classic Aliens franchise surfaced claiming that the game would have no female characters. Considering that the main character in the movies was Sigourney Weaver, very much a woman, that seemed very odd to me. Reports are now surfacing that there will be female characters in the video game.

Curiosity becomes First roving machine on Mars
This afternoon the folks responsible for the NASA mission at their Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California announced that they’d begun to move forward on wheels. The Curiosity rover landed less than a month ago on the planet, it being another of NASA’s successful landings in what’s expected to be a long line of Mars explorations. The rover was announced today to have rolled forward about 15 feet before rotating its wheels 120 degrees and advancing another 8 feet in a new direction.
Looper international trailer spills the beans on time travel
It’s time to make time a weapon with the 30-year action plot behind the upcoming action and science fiction film Looper in two international trailers that all but give away everything. Just as it was, essentially, with Total Recall, we’ve got everything we need to know the beginning, middle, and ending of the movie. What’s missing, and what makes it all worthwhile, is the action as it happens, and the science that explains the whole of the story.
