A few weeks ago, rumors began to circulate that Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus would have over a half hour of deleted scenes, a majority of which would be from the controversial ending. 20th Century Fox never confirmed this and since, it seems increasingly likely that’s not the case. The latest rumor is that the disc will have just over 20 minutes of extra and extended scenes with no word on how much of it will be from the ending. However, you can factor out at least half of it.
That’s because 10 minutes of deleted scenes from the film have made their way online: six scenes in total. They certainly give some of the characters more motivation and personality but there’s no real answers here. Just fat that was pretty expertly trimmed. After the jump, check out the interesting, but also kind of boring footage, as well as a bunch of gruesome behind the scenes images and concept sketches. Read More »

After Pacific Rim revealed itself to the world at Comic-Con, director Guillermo del Toro promised total radio silence until the first trailer hit this Winter. I guess he forgot about the power of Empire Magazine, which has just published four new photos from the set of the July 12, 2013 sci-fi action film. Starring Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Charlie Day and Ron Perlman, Pacific Rim is set in the future where giant monsters called Kaiju have invaded Earth. In response, humans control equally giant robots called Jaegers to fight them. And then the games begin.

Several images have now come online that show a completely different version of one of the film’s major set pieces. In the theatrical version of the film, the scene was played with practical effects. However, the entire scene was also completed with a CGI villain in case the practical version didn’t work.
After the jump. we’ll describe the scene, which is from the second act of the film so it’s only a minor spoiler, and show photos from each version of the film. Read More »
Disney fans, and /Film readers, are likely aware that major Hollywood stars have been dressing up like Disney characters. It’s not as bad as it sounds. In the past few years we’ve seen Olivia Wilde as the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella, Jessica Biel as Pocahontas and many others dressing up to help promote the Disney brand.
The trend now continues. Legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz has done her 2012 Disney Dream portraits and they feature Russell Brand as Captain Hook from Peter Pan, and Jack Black, Will Ferrell and Jason Segel as Phineas, Ezra and Gus, the Hitchhiking Ghosts from The Haunted Mansion. It’s the first time the series has featured characters who originated in a theme park and not in a movie. Check them out below. Read More »

The latest is a new image from Guillermo del Toro‘s “giant monsters versus giant robots” movie Pacific Rim.

Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) and Rinko Kikuchi (The Brothers Bloom) have some serious battle armor But those who saw the first image of Idris Elba already knew to expect something like this.

Guillermo del Toro‘s Pacific Rim has been in the works for a couple of years now, and entered production several months ago. But at this point the film’s moved into post and we still don’t have much of an idea as to what it looks like. Happily, that’s slowly changing. Earlier this spring, we got to see some footage of the sci-fi epic’s Toronto-as-Toyko set, and now have our first look at one of the stars, Idris Elba, in costume. Check out the photo below.
