The Last Jedi is the highly-anticipated eighth chapter in the Skywalker saga. It comes two years after the record-breaking box office of The Force Awakens, and many believe that the new film could top its predecessor.

Star Wars kept up the moment between movies, as the franchise hit a home-run with its first standalone film, Rogue One. Before Episode IX is released in 2019, a movie focused on the adventures of young Han Solo will hit theaters.

Jason David Frank Ejected From Power Rangers Premiere

Image
Last Wednesday at the red carpet premiere of the new Power Rangers movie , Jason David Frank — the actor who portrayed Tommy Oliver/Green Ranger in the original '90s television series — was unceremoniously booted from the event. What happened?! In the film itself, Frank makes a brief cameo alongside Amy Jo Johnson, the original Kimberly Hart/Pink Ranger. They play citizens of Angel Grove who look up in awe at the Megazord. Making sure to capture the impressive sight, they pull out their cellphones to snap photos and record video. So while watching the film at the premiere, Frank "wanted to get a reaction shot of the audience reacting to Amy and me when our cameo appeared." It was a fine idea; however, security didn't realize who he was or what his intentions were. "Right after our cameo appeared, I got escorted out by security because I had a camera in the movie," Frank explained to The Hollywood Reporter. "I didn't see the end of the movie,

Here’s an Amazing Short that Bridges Prometheus and Alien: Covenant

Fox released a prologue short to Alien: Covenant called The Crossing and in it we find out what happened to Dr. Elisabeth Shaw and David after Prometheus . Now that’s what I call a tease, too bad Alien: Covenant isn’t just this, David and Elizabeth Shaw going after the Engineers. What we see here will only be a small part of Alien: Covenant, with most of the action revolving around the crew of the colony ship Covenant. Now say what you will about the rest of Prometheus (I personally liked the movie), but that ending was very promising and it’s actually what I’m most looking forward to seeing in Covenant, the David and Elizabeth parts. What the hell happened with the Engineers (I’m guessing something bad happened to Elizabeth and David did not take it well) and how does that tie into the Covenant story (they might have landed on the same planet)? Those are questions that will hopefully be answered very soon. Ridley Scott directed this newest installment in the Alien franchise w
