Remember when we said that the new Star Wars movie would be shooting under the name of AVCO, after the cinema that JJ Abrams first saw the very first Star Wars movie? They're currently shooting in Gloucestershire, England Which is where one enterprising chap caught this on camera. Big @starwars clue I've found out the code name[...]

From this group, the casting team decided who would be given the part. One same day callback and boom, you're in Star Wars? Not even meeting JJ Abrams first? Sounds a little too easy Unless, of course, it's a very small bit part (and there's likely to be dozens of those) So I guess on that[...]

Even though Jason Flemyng has not always proven to be the most reliable of sources when it comes to Star Wars Episode VII, a picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words. Flemyng has taken to Instagram to share this rather blatant photo, with the caption "Pint of Stella and "Star Wars" script! That's me[...]

You can now submit an online tape in order to be considered for a major role in perhaps the biggest film franchise ever. God bless technology.

JJ Abrams is doing the rounds promoting his new book, and he sits down here with Neil Gaiman for BBC Newsnight It's a pretty nice interview, almost 15 minutes long, and they get into a lot of stuff like the importance of libraries, the dichotomy of his very special effects driven films and doing a[...]

The SETI Institute announced today that the two smallest moons of Pluto will be named Styx and Kerberos. Shatner isn't happy.

Not sure if the videos from Patrick Willems and the gang from Bleeding Cool's "Afterwards They Will Explode" have ever deserved that title quite so much

You wait all year for a news piece about a returning sci-fi franchise to start filming in early 2014 and then two come along at once.

But he won't – his review is entirely spoiler free. Away from Mortimer, Trekmovie.com seemed to have found an answer to the biggest question surrounding the third film: Will JJ Abrams be coming back? They tweeted: Just talked to @damonlindelofand he doesn't see ho Jj Abrams can direct next #startrek w/o "cloning technology" #startrekworldpremiere — TrekMovie.com (@TrekMovie) May[...]

Director JJ Abrams seems to have had an egg timer on set, and he brought it out every time some acting happened As soon as the sands ran out, it was the cue for something to go bang. Things go bang a lot in this film It's as far from the slow, contemplative metaphysics of the[...]

I happened to be watching my twitter timeline at the moment of the time change. Amusing. Has there ever been a comic or film about how much we hate it?

Michael Moran has seen the first half-hour of JJ Abrams's Star Trek sequel. He was too excited to make much sense, but this is what we got out of him...

Bleeding Cool Magazine article by Rick Verbanas In 2009, Star Trek was reborn for an all-new generation of fans, thanks to an amazing reboot by J.J.

Star Wars director news finally solidifies: The Wrap have ascertained that JJ Abrams will direct a Star Wars film, presumably Episode 7 Ben Affleck was also in the running, they report This is being echoed by The Hollywood Reporter's Borys Kit, so that's all the confirmation I need, personally. M0st-Read Comic Stories Today – Invincible, Avengers MASSIVE SPOILER[...]

At some points it was almost as if new Trek villain Benedict Cumberbatch was there in the cinema. What am I talking about? He was there, slightly smaller than you might expect but still possessed of the most geometrically perfect nose in showbusiness, along with co-star Alice Eve, both affably batting away any questions that threatened to reveal[...]

The film will be developed through Paramount's microbudget genre arm, InSurge Pictures, and be budgeted for between $5-$10[...]

Send your angry emails to Paramount and Bad Robot. JJ Abrams brought some footage straight from the editing desk of Star Trek: Into Darkness to an interview with Conan O'Brien. How do you like your Spock? Rare, medium or well done? JJ Abrams can be such a tease I hope he stops all this flirting and we get[...]

JJ Abrams and Eric Kripke's show garnered a 3.4 in the 18-49 demographic We'll see how it goes, but I think it has a solid chance of continuing to keep a hold of The Voice lead-in more than previous shows in that time slot, like Smash. For those getting twitchy about How I Met Your Mother returning[...]

Trailer for Fringe's final season, complete with a scary vision of the future.

Abigail Raney offers a capsule review of the new show from Eric Kripke, JJ Abrams and pilot director Jon Favreau As far as I can gather from the trailer, it's set in a world where electricity no longer works – unless you have a certain magical amulet. Set 15 years after all the world's technology suddenly[...]

If you've been keeping up to date with the Star Trek movie tie-in comics you may already know that production of the comics is overseen by Roberto Orci,

Star Trek star Zoe Saldana has revealed that she's super-excited about JJ Abrams' forthcoming sequel to Star Trek, which will begin shooting in mid-January She's also said that she's super-excited about Zachary Quinto coming out of the closet, as are the many thousands of slash fan fiction writers in the world I am too, even[...]

I don't know about you but, for me, just the thought of a collaboration between JJ Abrams – director of surely the best reboot of them all, Star Trek – and producer Stephen Spielberg is enough to put me at the head of a line to see the resulting movie – but the wait in[...]

The events of the JJ Abrams Star Trek movie basically reset the Star Trek continuity from scratch, to free up the film series to tell some very different stories with Kirk, Spock, Bones, Chekov, Sulu, Uhuru, Scotty et al. And now this new Star Trek universe will be explored by a new ongoing IDW Star Trek[...]
