It looks like Disney is preparing to release the first full trailer for their upcoming film Alice Through the Looking Glass, which is a sequel to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The studio has released two promo teasers offering a bit of footage from the film that you can watch below.

“In Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass, an all-new spectacular adventure featuring the unforgettable characters from Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories, Alice returns to the whimsical world of Underland and travels back in time to save the Mad Hatter.” 

In the story, the Mad Hatter is “growing dark,” and the character is literally losing his color. You can read more details on the story here that we got from the presentation for the film at D23. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first film, but if you were, then you’ll probably like what this sequel has to offer.

Several actors from the first movie are reprising their roles in the James Bobin-directed sequel including Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen, and Timothy Spall. Some of the new cast members are Sasha Baron Cohen in the role of Time, described as “a peculiar creature who is part human, part clock,” and Rhys Ifans as Zanik Hightopp, the Mad Hatter’s father. 

Alice Through the Looking Glass will land in theaters May 27th, 2016.

Disney animated movies are always fun for the whole family. They include stuff that both kids and adults can enjoy. The adult humor is usually pretty harmless and goes over the kids' heads, but there are some things that Disney animators slipped in some of their movies that are pretty surprising. 

Screen Rant released a new video list that points out ten inappropriate scenes from classic Disney films. Some of the films included on the list are Bambi, Hercules, Cars, Aladdin, Frozen, and The Emperor's New Groove. There are a few things on the list that I never noticed before. You can check them out in the video below.

Parents and adults may get as much fun out of Disney and Pixar movies, but it's assumed that the actual stories and humor won't be anything too mature for younger audiences. But sometimes, the people actually making the movie just can't help themselves - sliding in crude jokes or adult gags that can't be unseen, and are almost guaranteed to have older viewers laughing... and wondering how they ever could have missed them the first time around. In some ases you won’t even believe how these scenes are actually part of the movies. Here is Screen Rant's look at Dirty Disney: 10 Inappropriate Scenes in Disney Films.

I really loved the last episode of The Walking Dead. The episode basically gave us a little background on what Morgan had been up to before he rejoined Rick and the group in Alexandria. It explains how he came to be the way he is. One of the main reason why I liked it so much was because it actually had an uplifting positive message, which is something we don’t see in this series very often. It was a really refreshing episode, and it will be interesting to see how Morgan’s decisions will affect the rest of the group. 

The upcoming episode is called “Now,” and today we have a promo trailer and sneak peak for you to watch. The next episode comes with a brief synopsis that reads:

Following a number of setbacks, the mood in Alexandria grows grim for the sheltered citizens.

I couldn’t help but laugh at this little plot summary because of what happened in Alexandria a couple episodes back. Of course the mood is grim! It’s sure not going to be full of sunshine and rainbows! 

Arthur Metcalf created this adrenalin-fueled animated short film called "Filthy But Fine." It came along with the tagline, “A tough night in a tough city,” and the story follows a young guy as he embarks on a crazy adventure in which he has to make an important delivery in under four minutes. Along the way, he is met with all kinds of obstacles keeping him from making this delivery on time, some of which are easily recognizable geek-culture references like Tron and Batman. This short is wildly fun, and I hope you enjoy it!

One of the things I'm looking forward to seeing the most in X-Men: Apocalypse is how Quicksilver is utilized in the story this time around. I enjoyed his one scene in Days of Future Past, but I would have liked to have seen more of him in that movie. 

While talking with Details, actor Evan Peters was asked about his role in the new movie and he offered up some interesting information:

“The story is that my character is searching for his father and wants to find him. It starts there and then he jumps on the X-Men train and gets sucked up in this whole Apocalypse madness: He tries to stop him from destroying the world.”

It sounds like he'll actually have a decent-sized role in the story this time around, which is nice. We also know he's going to have at least one big scene that might top the prison break scene from Days of Future Past.

As fans of the comic series also know, Quicksilver’s father is none other than Magneto. That relationship has yet to be officially confirmed on film, but it would obviously make sense if they did go that route.

The actor went on to praise the film, and when asked if Apocalypse would be the greatest X-Men movie of all time, he said:

“Absolutely. It’s the biggest X-Men film. It’s about the apocalypse, so the scope of the film is huge."

I have no doubt that this next chapter in the X-Men saga is going to be epic, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this trilogy is going to close out. 

Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.”

 X-Men: Apocalypse is set for release on May 27th, 2016.

For Halloween, Christina Borchardt made this incredible-looking Rocket Raccoon costume for her son, Chase. As you can see, Christina sure does have some mad skills when it comes to making costumes. She made it entirely on her own from scratch, but says that she didn't get a chance to “distress” the lower leather portions. Regardless of not completely finishing the costume, it turned out pretty amazing, and her son obviously loved it! This is easily the best Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon costume I've seen so far.

Of course, after showing this to my 8-year-old daughter, she wants to be Rocket next Halloween, so I guess I better get to work.

I hate the idea of teasers for trailers, but this is the first footage I've seen of Duncan Jones' Warcraft since I didn't see the film's Comic-Con presentation, so I figured I'd make an exception and post this for those of you who are like me and have only seen photos and posters from the film so far.

Personally, I'm not familiar with the lore of Warcraft, but just on a visual level, this movie looks like it's going to be absolutely huge. With the exception of the shot of the characters gathered on the stairs, the visual effects look pretty fantastic, especially for a movie that relies so much on CG. Early trailers often feature VFX that aren't nearly as good as what we see in the final film because directors regularly work with their VFX teams up until the last possible minute to make everything look as good as possible, so if this film follows that trend and ends up looking even better than this footage, fans of large scale fantasy movies are going to be in for a real treat.

Make sure to head back here on Friday for the full teaser trailer, and mark your calendars for June 10th, 2016: that's when this movie will finally hit theaters.

Dear CBS President Glenn Geller,

I'm so consumed by dismay and hatred I can't even form a decent intro to this. Any joy I had about a new Star Trek series in development was crushed by the swift announcement made by CBS. While many overlooked the detail in headlines (us included), I couldn't even get hyped as I saw it and instantly got pissed.

The first episode will air on CBS...but the rest will air exclusively on the CBS streaming site.

I think a quote from Spock is appropriate here...

“May I say that I have not thoroughly enjoyed serving with humans? I find their illogic and foolish emotions a constant irritant.”

Indeed, CBS has lost their Vulcan minds in thinking Star Trek will pull an audience to its stupidly selfish and outdated paid app. Sure, they aren't the first to offer an app, but unlike the various other networks who offer their app as a companion for free, CBS will be charging you for their back catalog — a back catalog that has been extensively sold to Netflix over the years, as well as their current programming...all of which is available on demand AND ON THEIR FREE NETWORK THAT EVERY AMERICAN HOME OWNS. Oh yeah, and I can't even watch football on it, but they want me to pay $5.99 monthly if I want new Star Trek.

F*** that.

CBS, get your head in the game. Let me remind you that Star Trek as a franchise has held a key role in your network's holdings and success. Star Trek: The Next Generation ran several years at a consistent viewership of 20 million viewers from 1987-1994 on CBS. It was so popular its new episode was shown not once, but twice weekly in prime-time slots. I concede the other series' may not have been the juggernauts that it was, but even at their worst, DS9 and Voyager were pulling in Arrow ratings on much smaller networks.

PLUS, YOU PREPPED A RELAUNCH WITH SOON TO BE THREE MOTION PICTURES.

It absolutely stuns me. You have the perfect lead-in shows with either The Big Bang Theory or Supergirl, you're at the height of geek sci-fi craze on television, and you want to make us pay for an app so you can play Netflix.

I don't get it. Why do you want to be Netflix? You're already one of the biggest television networks in the United States, and you have something Netflix will never have! A giant free signal with an audience already conditioned to watch commercials!

I'm telling you all this because even Star Trek will not buckle me into buying your app, and I don't think a majority of America will either. You're going to flush a lot of time, awesomeness, and money straight down the drain all in the name of greed and it really, really hurts.

Please...please rethink this, CBS. Bring Star Trek back to major television so that we don't have yet another cancelled geek series that could've been great. I leave you with yet again another quote from Spock:

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of a few.

I can't be the only person who wants this, so I started a petition you can sign here. Let's try to make a change, guys!

The fan-film masterminds over at Rainfall Films have made a lot of really top notch shorts. This group that made the definitive April Fools Day Legend of Zelda trailer years ago is now back with another Nintendo inspired project... View Full Post on GameTyrant

A ton of new details have surfaced for director Tim Miller's highly-anticipated Deadpool movie. The following information comes from Collider, who got the info from their visit to the set of the film, so everything you read here is solid intel and contains SPOILERS.  

The following information contains details on how the film ties to X-Men, some of the Easter Eggs that you'll see, sequel ideas, Colossus' role in the franchise, and more. There are 60 total facts that have been released, but I only included a few of the more interesting ones below. I also included a couple new photos from the film as well.

• Deadpool references X-Men Origins: Wolverine by breaking the fourth wall and making fun of it. The movie disregards what happened in that film.

• Cable was close to being in the film but they chose to wait until Deadpool was on his feet. It sounds like if they get to make a sequel, Cable will be part of it.

• On set they were already planning a post-credits scene that they consider “very cool.”

• Stan Lee will have a cameo in the film.

• Miller said that Colossus is the gateway drug into the rest of the X-Men universe and he plays the straight man to Deadpool.

• The film will not shy away from very graphic scenes and situations but doesn’t dwell on blood and guts. Reynolds said there are some “pretty racy, pretty hyper-violent things that happen in this movie and it’s been a lot of fun to shoot.”

• Morena Baccarin (Vanessa) will not have any powers in the film. If they get to make a sequel, that’s when you’ll see them.

• The final Deadpool script is about 70% of the script that was leaked, “The same basic movie is there.”

• Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool costume had a muscle layer underneath that had to be removed because Reynolds was “too ripped” and his own muscle plus the costume muscle made him look “too big.” So all the muscle we see in the film is “100% USDA Ryan Reynolds.”

• As a nod to Liefeld, Deadpool has his pouches.

• Deadpool is Pansexual according to Tim Miller.

• Deadpool does take place in the X-Men movie universe and as such fits into its larger timeline, and it is possible he might show up in the other movies. This affected how they wrote the script and what they were able to reference, such as the Blackbird and Professor X.

• It was easier to put lesser known mutants in the movie, like Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Angel Dust, because it requires less approval and overhead for the larger X-Men Universe. Colossus required lots of approval and had to fit in the larger canon of the X-Men movieverse.

• 80s and 90s music is going to be a huge part of the movie.

• The film will have plenty of Easter eggs that might reference a number of other Fox mutants. While I’m not sure, we might see silhouettes of other characters.

• The movie will feature a number of unusual songs. When Guardians of the Galaxy came out and featured that cool soundtrack, Reynolds said, “I did have a bit of a panic attack.” On set both Reynolds and Miller made it clear that the Deadpool script had its music cues in it years before Guardians was written.

• They have snuck in some references to other mutants out in the world throughout the film.

• Morena Baccarin was not familiar with Deadpool or comics in general before landing the role of Vanessa Carlisle. “She gets down and dirty and she’s not a victim, she’s not a damsel in distress.” Her character really gets into the action in this film; she’s scrappy.

• Colossus will be 7 ft. 6 inches in the film and to the actor on set is 6 ft. 8 and wore 8 inch heels to look the part on set.

• The first act of the film shows Deadpool using guns. The third act shows him wielding katanas.

• Angel Dust isn’t in that many comic books so Gina Carano and the writers had to create her character from scratch. But she had a lot of fun with creating the character’s look, which includes yellow contact lenses.

• She is the henchwoman to Ajax in the movie and has a fight scene with Colossus. When doing her fight scene in a junkyard she was more worried about spiders than anything regarding the actual stunts.

• Garrison Kane and Wire were almost in the movie.

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

The movie stars Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa Carlysle), T.J. Miller (Weasel), with Ed Skrein (Ajax) and Brianna Hildebrand (Ellie Phimister).

Deadpool is scheduled to open in theaters on February 12th, 2016.

A darkly funny meditation on romance and relationships, The Lobster uses a high concept in order to explore some of the universal truths of love in 2015. It's one of the year's weirdest movies, and while it walks the line of surreality and absurdism, there's an undercurrent of sadness and heartbreak to it that grounds the story even during its most outlandish moments. The Lobster is a rich exploration of modern love, and its eccentric personality makes it feel like the work of a creative force who sees the world like no one else.

That high concept I mentioned? It goes like this: The movie takes place in a world in which cities consist only of couples, and all single people are taken to an isolated hotel and given 45 days to fall in love and find a suitable mate. If they fail, they are turned into an animal of their choice. (Yes, you read that correctly.) There's also a group of Loners who live in the woods near the hotel who refuse to play along, defiantly remaining single and punishing their own members who even hint at flirting or falling in love. The hotel guests hunt these people with tranquilizer guns every day, and a day is added to their stay for each unconscious Loner they bring back.

While the characters takes this all very seriously, director Yorgos Lanthimos is very aware of the inherent ridiculousness of it; he and co-writer Efthymis Filippou pepper in humorous moments throughout to let us know that they're in on the joke. (Example: the woods are full of random animals walking by in the background, meant to be characters who "didn't make it.") But while the movie is often funny, it just as often feels like a smart (if admittedly strange) satire of the pressure put on single people to be in a relationship. In our world, we're constantly bombarded with imagery that dictates the ideal scenario is to be married with children, and if you don't follow those guidelines within a certain amount of time, you're somehow considered an outcast by society at large. The Lobster takes it a step further and gives them an ultimatum, adding its own shortened ticking clock element to keep things moving quickly.

At the hotel's singles mixers and awkward dances, new couples are announced and praised, though they often just decide to get together based solely on sharing the same inadequacies (a limp, a perpetual nosebleed, etc). One duo, paraded around in front of the group, is described as "just having met two weeks ago but they are very much in love," which, in context, seems like a pointed critique of reality TV shows like The Bachelor that create forced circumstances designed to result in "true love."

The story takes a turn when the recently-divorced David (Colin Farrell) meets a Loner played by Rachel Weisz (who also narrates the movie), but to tell you any more about what happens would be to give away the film's bizarre surprises. The Lobster's weirdness may be off-putting to some, and it seems inevitable that a few will mistake the cast's deadpan delivery for bad acting, but everything in this strange little story is in service of Lanthimos' unique vision, resulting in a sad, funny, heartbreaking, laugh out loud movie unlike anything you've ever seen.

There's rarely a day that goes by when I don't quote (or at least think about) Key & Peele, the brilliant Comedy Central sketch series led by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. The show ended earlier this year, but fans have been encouraged by the fact that Key has popped up in tons of new movies and shows lately and Peele is hard at work on his new horror movie Get Out. The duo promised that they'd work together again soon (they're already making a movie called Keanu), and now Variety reports that they're currently developing a new stop-motion movie with Henry Selick, the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline.

The movie is based on an original idea by Selick, and he'll co-write with Peele. The film's title is Wendell and Wild.

“‘Wendell and Wild’ is a comedy about two scheming demon brothers who must face their arch-nemesis, the demon-dusting nun Sister Helly, and her two acolytes, the goth teens Kat and Raoul,” says Selick.

Sounds like another dark, kind of strange project from Selick, and considering Peele's love of horror movies, it's easy to see why he'd be excited about this project from that description. The comedy duo will presumably lend their voices to the two brothers, but that's all the information we have on the project at the moment. We'll keep you updated when we hear more, but in the meantime, what do you think about this collaboration?

We are only weeks away from seeing Krysten Ritter kick ass as Jessica Jones. Marvel has been ramping up the marketing for the series, and you can see some of the most recent promo trailers that have been released so far here.

Mad Max: Fury Road is one of the best films that has been released this year. Almost everyone enjoyed the hell out of it because it delivered everything that fans wanted out of a Mad Max movie, especially the adrenaline rush! 

There has been talk of more Mad Max sequels since before Fury Road was released, and it's good to hear that director George Miller is still developing them. There's still no word on if Charlize Theron will officially reprise her role as Furiosa as previously rumored. The sequel was original supposed to be called Mad Max: The Wasteland, but it looks like that might not actually be the case. In an interview with Deadline, the director says:

"The more I speculate about what’s happening, the more I try to avoid spoilers this far out, and also I find myself talking around in circles. So the best thing I can say is that we’re definitely in discussion about making more of these, but the timing of it, I’m really not sure. Probably won’t be called Wasteland. I can say that. It was just the working title we gave it."

Miller goes on to confirm that we will not see Mel Gibson appear in any of these films, even in a small cameo role. Tom Hardy has already signed on for three more movies, and now that the audience buys Hardy as the new Max, they are going to stick with him. He explains:

"Not in these movies, for a very simple reason. If Mel, who is Max in a lot of people’s memories, appeared in the next movie, it would pull audiences out of the movie for a bit, and we worked so hard to keep people immersed in the movie as much as possible. It would be like, I don’t know, seeing Roger Moore appearing in a Daniel Craig James Bond movie. It would be fun, but it would also pull you out of the experience of the movie."

It makes sense not to bring Gibson back, but it still would have been fun to see him return to the role in the last film. I liked Hardy in the movie, but I liked Theron more, so hopefully they are able to get her back on board to kick some ass.

The filmmaker goes on to talk about superhero movies and why he thinks they are so popular right now:

"I’m really, really interested in them a lot, but the truth is, and I shouldn’t be admitting this: I haven’t seen many of the recent crop for the very simple reason I’ve had my head down immersed in the process of doing Fury Road. However, stories are conducive to their time or somehow fit their time, and I think the fact that we’re seeing these films all around the world now, that kind of is an interplay between these superhero movies and what some people call the global monomyth, and the zeitgeist. And I think there’s interplay there, and I think you need to dig down deep and really understand why we need them."

He goes on to explain that these films offer us "a sense of empowerment, a sense of a struggle. I think we, as individuals in many ways, don’t feel we can impact the world in some way as much as we’d like to, and that’s just a stab at it."

As you know, Warner Bros. offered Miller the opportunity to direct Man of Steel 2 or another one of their superhero movies, but it didn't sound like he would be taking the gig, which seems like a shame. Maybe he just wants to get his next Mad Max sequel off the ground and into production! 

The final trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has already inspired a ton of parodies and remixes, but it looks like Max Nicholson is the first (or at least the best) to set footage from the much-maligned prequels to the awesome score of the new trailer. I went into this thinking it couldn't possibly make me actually want to sit down and watch the prequels again...and thanks to Anakin's incessant whining, that remained the case. But it goes to show how, with the right music and the right trailer, you can make almost anything look really freakin' cool.

To all those who desperately miss Jon Stewart since his retirement from The Daily Show, here's some great news. Deadline reports that Stewart has signed a four year deal with HBO that will see him develop new short-form digital content for HBO Go, HBO Now, and "other platforms" with a "first-look option for other film and TV ventures."

In his first project for HBO under the new deal, Stewart will work with the cloud graphics company OTOY Inc., in developing new technology that will allow him to produce timely, current-events-focused short-form digital content, which will be refreshed on HBO NOW multiple times throughout the day. Additional projects will be announced later. 

I'm an HBO subscriber, but I don't think I've ever used HBO NOW — I wonder how many other subscribers say the same thing. But if Stewart is producing content that's refreshed multiple times daily, that site could easily become a real destination for millions of people. Stewart's pull is strong, and his influence on and relationship with an entire generation could be exactly what HBO needs to bump up their digital presence, let alone whatever cool movies or TV shows come from this deal down the line.

“Jon Stewart led a revolution that changed the face of TV comedy on the ‘Daily Show,’” said Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming. “He graced our network nearly 20 years ago, so we’re thrilled to welcome back his immense talents in this next chapter of his career.”

“I’m so excited to be working with Richard [Plepler], Michael and the entire HBO family,” says Stewart. “Appearing on television 22 minutes a night clearly broke me. I’m pretty sure I can produce a few minutes of content every now and again.”

Lionsgate is trying to capitalize on The Hunger Games success by licensing its movies out to theme parks around the world, and now it seems 20th Century Fox wants to get in on the action as well. Deadline reports that the studio has announced a new theme park and resort called 20th Century Fox World that will open in Dubai in 2018.

Attractions will be based on Fox properties including Ice Age, Rio, Planet Of The Apes, Aliens, Predator, Night At The Museum, Titanic, The Simpsons, and Sons Of Anarchy.

The studio already has a planned park set up to debut in 2017 in Malaysia, but this one "will have the first Fox-branded resort" as an added draw.

You can practically see the number-crunchers in Fox's accounting department with dollar signs in their eyes as they predict the hordes of people who are going to go through the turnstiles at a park like this. Theme parks are big moneymakers, so it's only natural that a studio with recognizable intellectual property would create a destination for fans to come and fork over some cash. Hollywood is a competitive place, and maybe some Fox execs just got sick of seeing Disney and Universal making tons of money from their long-running parks and figured, "If they can do that, why can't we?"

If you're planning a trip to Dubai on vacation, you may want to wait an extra few years so you can stop by and check this place out when it opens. In the meantime, hit the comments section with your ideas for what the rides and attractions based on these movies might be like.

I don't like a lot of Jack Black movies, but the Kung Fu Panda franchise has always delivered funny and exciting entertainment. The first two films were great, and it looks like the third chapter in the story will be just as entertaining. 

In Kung Fu Panda 3, Po reunites with his estranged father (Bryan Cranston) and they embark on a journey to panda village. It's there that they are met with a new evil threat, a villain who is voiced by J.K. Simmons. Po is forced into a situation where he needs to teach the residents of the village Kung Fu so they can fight back and protect themselves.

If you're a fan of the franchise, I'm sure you'll like what you see in this latest trailer. Here's the official synopsis:

When Po’s long-lost panda father suddenly reappears, the reunited duo travels to a secret panda paradise to meet scores of hilarious new panda characters. But when the supernatural villain Kai begins to sweep across China defeating all the kung fu masters, Po must do the impossible—learn to train a village full of his fun-loving, clumsy brethren to become the ultimate band of Kung Fu Pandas!

Kung Fu Panda 3 was directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who also brought us Kung Fu Panda 2. Jack Black returns as the voice of Po in the film along with Gary Oldman, Dustin Hoffman, David Cross, Angelina Jolie, Michelle Yeoh, Mads Mikkelsen, Danny McBride, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan, Kate Hudson, James Hong, J.K. Simmons as the new villain, and Bryan Cranston as Po's father.

Kung Fu Panda 3 is set to be released in theaters on January 29th, 2016.

Your Star Wars Slave Leia action figures and collectibles might go up in value soon as there's a rumor going around that Lucasfilm and Disney will do away with Slave Leia merchandise. 

The rumor comes from Making Star Wars, who has offered a ton of information regarding Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a lot of which has been spot-on accurate. They received the following comments by Star Wars comic artist J Scott Campbell, which seemingly confirms what they've heard:

Wow! If true, this is some pretty big news. I guess it was only a matter of time before this happened, though. There's been some controversy surrounding that skimpy outfit for years. I guess it has come to a boiling point, and Disney and Lucasfilm are ready to put it behind them. 

It really doesn't bug me that they might be looking to bury Slave Leia merchandise. It just means the stuff we currently own will become more valuable, and of course, it will always live on in Return of the Jedi. In the meantime, I'm sure it also means we'll start seeing more Princess Leia merch featuring the character in different outfits other than her slave attire. 

There's no official word on this yet, but I'm sure we'll learn the truth behind the rumor soon enough.

In a recent interview with Interview Magazine, Daisy Ridley and Carrie Fisher talked about fighting against the outfit:

FISHER: Well, you should fight for your outfit. Don't be a slave like I was.

RIDLEY: All right, I'll fight.

FISHER: You keep fighting against that slave outfit.

RIDLEY: I will.

I never really expected Disney would allow for Ridley to be put in her own slave outfit, but I guess that advice is just in case.

What do you think about all this?
