Despite a brief stumble with X-Men: Apocalypse, Oscar Isaac remains one of the most compelling, charismatic performers working in Hollywood right now. So it makes sense that Steven Spielberg would want to work with him, and Variety reports the two are teaming up for Spielberg's new film The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara. It's a smaller scale personal drama about "a young Jewish boy in Bologna, Italy in 1858 who, having been secretly baptized, is forcibly taken from his family to be raised as a Christian. His parents’ struggle to free their son becomes part of a larger political battle that pits the Papacy against forces of democracy and Italian unification."

It isn't known which character Isaac will play, but it's not tough to envision him as either the father of the boy or as one of the priests. Isaac just wrapped Star Wars: Episode VIII, and Edgardo Mortura will be the next film for Spielberg after he completes Ready Player One and before he jumps back into Indiana Jones 5.

With Comic-Con right around the corner, the exclusives list just keeps getting longer and longer. This year, Warner Bros. and Samsung are teaming up to bring Suicide Squad into the VR world promoting the movie that will be released on August 5. 

In this virtual reality experience, Comic-Con goers will be able to be on Task Force X alongside their favorite characters from the movie. The main set that has been built up in the experience is the Belle Reve Penitentiary where the characters are all held between missions and where Harley Quinn can virtually tattoo viewers up in her VR tattoo parlor. 

Additionally, there will be exclusive footage from the upcoming film as well as custom Suicide Squad T-shirts. It has been also been hinted at by Samsung that some of the cast members will drop by for the experience. 

After Comic-Con, the experience will be available for Samsung VR. Last year when Legendary brought a VR experience with Google Cardboard it was a huge hit, and now with more advanced technology, this should be even better!

Despite the cold shoulder Marvel is giving its first superhero family, Dr. Doom is actually thriving in the world of comics. After last year’s Secret Wars, Victor Von Doom became God, finally had the scars on his face removed, and now he will don his very own Iron Man suit. Slated to be titled The Infamous Iron Man, Victor Von Doom has been announced as one of the two new Iron Avengers, with the other of course being Riri Williams, a 15-year-old African American girl who built her own Iron Man suit in her dorm room. Alex Maleev, the artist for the upcoming Infamous Iron Man series, has provided us with some early looks as to how Dr. Doom’s new suit will look this fall. 

Dr. Doom is easily my favorite villain and I could not be any more excited for a shift in the status quo. Although we have seen something similar to this with Dan Slott’s Superior Spider-Man run, in which Dr. Octopus took over Peter Parker’s mind/body and became Spider-Man for a year and a half, I think this stands for so much more. Dr. Doom will not be impersonating Tony Stark, but rather becoming his own version of the Iron Man. I would compare this more to Lex Luthor turning over a new leaf in Forever Evil. Either way, I absolutely love the design and it definitely has Doom’s classic feel to it. How do you think the suit looks? Or does the idea of Dr. Doom becoming your new Iron Man totally freak you out?

The decor of a Star Trek fans' home just wouldn’t be complete without this Star Trek: The Next Generation uniform-inspired bedding! This is one of the coolest and geekiest bedding designs that I’ve seen in awhile. It’s available in Twin XL, Queen, or King, and it’s available at ThinkGeek. It’s actually a really slick-looking bedding design.

This Star Trek The Next Generation Bedding Set will let you tumble out of bed in the morning, completely relaxed and ready for that first cup of coffee or tea, Earl Grey, hot. The fitted sheet features a Delta Shield pattern, and the four solid Rank Pips printed on one side of the pillowcases declare you a Captain. The duvet cover, red, naturally, because you’re Command, has a Communicator Badge printed on it. Non-functioning, which is good because bed-dialing someone would be even more embarrassing than butt-dialing them.

The price ranges from $49.99 to $89.99. If you want to purchase one, click here.

We’ve got a trailer for an interesting new film coming out called Billionaire Ransom which features a bunch of spoiled rich young adults whose parents have them snatched out of their privileged lives and taken to an island where they will learn to change their bad behavior. That island is then taken over by a group of mercenaries who take them hostage and are holding them for ransom. The kids are then forced into a situation where they have to fight back and survive. I guess who you root for in this movie all depends on your opinion of rich people. Here’s the synopsis:

The story follows a group of over-privileged, out-of-control young adults who have been sent by their frustrated, billionaire parents to a tough-love wilderness school on a remote island off the coast of Scotland. Kyle (Sumpter) and Amy (Tonkin) find themselves in this group as a last opportunity for them to take responsibility for their own lives and abandon their reckless ways, or risk being disinherited. Suddenly, a group of mercenaries led by Billy Speck (Westwick) invade the island and hold the privileged lot hostage for the largest ransom in history: one billion dollars. When Kyle learns they are all to be killed even if the ransom is paid, their wilderness survival training is the only hope of outwitting the mercenaries and staying alive.

The film was directed by filmmaker Jim Gillespie (Venom, I Know What You Did Last Summer), from a screenplay by Alexander Ignon. It opens in theaters and on VOD August 19th.

I could see Daredevil and Rafael being best buds. Hell, an adventure with just the two of those characters would be awesome enough.

I have a video here from Screen Rant that lists ten PG-13 movies that were originally rated R and there was only one on the list I knew about and that was Raiders of the Lost Ark. Some of the other films listed include The Wolverine, Titanic, Spider-Man, Galaxy Quest, and The Avengers. I was kind of shocked to learn that some of these actually got slapped with an R-rating at first.

To most movie fans, the rating assigned before it hits theaters is known months ahead of time, usually from the first script. The truth is a lot more surprising, since a shockingly small amount of sex, violence, or foul language can completely change a movie in the eyes of those rating. Here are 10 Famous Movies Originally Rated R.

The Cyclotron is a new bicycle technology being developed that is inspired by the movie Tron. This is the first hubless smart bicycle. It’s being called the next step in bicycle evolution and the future of cycling. It’s been in development for three years from Cyclotron Cycles and they currently have a Kickstarter to help fund the project further. 

Not only does the bike have hubless wheels but it also has airless tires, a carbon fiber frame, integrated LED illumination, a wealth of sensors, an optional electronic gearbox, an app, and more. You can see a full functioning prototype of the bike in the video below.

It’s being designed to look cool and also include “unmatched functionality” to help make your life easier. From having fun, to shopping, to taking your kids to the park, this bike is being made to help. I’m totally sold on it!

In case you haven't been watching the live stream panel for Star Wars Rebels at Star Wars Celebration, it was announced by showrunner Dave Filoni that fan-favorite character Grand Admiral Thrawn will be joining the third season! 

Thrawn was introduced in the expanded universe in the novel Heir to the Empire, which was written by Timothy Zahn and published back in the 90s. That was the first of a trilogy of novels known as the "Thrawn trilogy". This will be the first time we see the character brought to life outside of those books and it's cool that his character will actually become canon. 

Heir to the Empire offered fans our first story of what happened in the Star Wars universe after the Empire was taken out during the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi. The story isn't part of the current canon, but Thrawn is the character that took on the command of the remaining forces of the Empire to battle the New Republic.

In regards to bringing in the character Filoni says, "It was important to do it right," and then went on to reveal that they had cast Lars Mikkelsen to provide the voice of the character. 

In Star Wars Rebels, Thrawn is brought in to help the Empire take down a Rebel group that is giving them problems. This is an intense and badass character. In the trailer they showed Thrawn says:

"I will pull the Rebels apart piece by piece. They'll be the architects of their own destruction." 

I love that they actually pulled this character out of the expanded universe and I'm excited to see how they utilize him as in the series as an actual canon character.

The trailer for Star Wars Rebels Season 3 has been released online! It premiered at Star Wars Celebration during the panel for the series where it was announced that Grand Admiral Thrawn would be introduced in the series. You will get to see your first footage of him in this trailer and as you'll see, he's going to be a painful thorn in the Rebel's side. 

The trailer contains over three minutes of exciting awesomeness and this next season looks like it's going to be even better than Season 2! I can't wait to see how the events teased in the trailer playout over the course of the series. 

It was also revealed during the presentation that a new character would be joining the series named Bendu, who is an ancient and powerful character that will be voiced by classic Doctor Who actor Tom Baker.  Star Wars Rebels Season 3 will air on Disney XD this Fall. Enjoy the trailer!

During the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story presentation at Star Wars Celebration yesterday, Lucasfilm offered fans their first look at Mads Mikkelsen as Galen Erso in the film. You can see that image of him above. 

Galen is the father of Felicity Jones' Jyn Erso. The actor didn't reveal too much more about his character, but there have been rumors in the past he will have direct ties to the Empire, and may even have had a hand in building the Death Star. It was previously explained:

Mads Mikkelsen (Galen appears to be his name in the film) is kind of the key to the film in a way. He is a scientist that took over the Geonosian Death Star project. He solved several of the flaws the Empire could not and is sort of a revered person in the Empire for his contributions. However, Mikkelsen’s character is a Robert Oppenheimer-type character. Oppenheimer helped design the atomic bomb only to say, “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” The guilt “Galen” feels for his contributions to the Empire become too much and he defects, attempting to make things right. In order to do this, he enlists the help of his only daughter….

I guess we'll find out if these rumors are true or not when the movie is released on December 16th, 2016.

Here’s a fun and informative flowchart that breaks down each of the noble houses' characteristics in Game of Thrones. Each house is defined by their unique characteristics and by using this flowchart, you can find out which house best suits you. The chart comes from Lucidchart who says:

Each Noble House in Game of Thrones can be defined by a handful of characteristics. We believe most people fall into one of these groups...and if you don’t, off to the Night’s Watch you go! 

Are you ruthless like the Boltons or honorable like the Starks? Maybe you’re a bit of both, which makes you a Lannister. Are you the person in your family who insists on lighting all the fireworks on the 4th of July? You Targaryen! 

Follow the flowchart to see where you fit. If there’s one thing that unites all of us, it’s this: Hodor. Hodor? Hodor.

It was announced during Star Wars Celebration that Industrial Light & Magic’s ILMxLAB is working on a new VR experience for Star Wars fans that will focus on Darth Vader. To help bring the project to life they hired screenwriter David Goyer to help them develop it. Goyer is best known for working on films such as Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.

This will be a story-based experience that will revolve around the legendary Sith Lord. When talking about the project Goyer explained:

“When we looked at all the characters, places, and worlds in the Star Wars universe available to us, we asked ourselves, ‘What haven’t we seen before? Who are we curious about?’ Darth Vader is the perfect ambassador to usher us into the Star Wars VR universe.”

That's an interesting statement because I feel like we've seen a lot about Darth Vader already. There are no details on what the story will entail but I imagine it will explore some different aspects of Darth Vader's life that we don't know. It will be fun to see how they do that with VR technology.

They also announced that the Star Wars VR experience Trials on Tatooine will be made available to fans for free next week on Monday, July 18th, and here's the trailer for that showing you what it involves. 

It's not really a game because you aren't controlling a character, you’re just more of an observer who can look can look around and explore the VR experience. Looks pretty cool!

Marvel concept artist and character designer Andy Park has released a few new alternate character designs for Black Panther from Captain America: Civil War. I thought the final costume design they ended up with was perfect and these concept design aren’t too far away from that style, but the designs are still very clearly different, especially with the masks. But there are also some differences with the body suit as well. These designs have a sleek cool look to them, but in the end, I’m a fan of the final design. It will be interesting to see what changes they make to the costume when the Black Panther solo film rolls around.

Sega’s 1991 video game Rent-a-Hero is getting a big screen adaptation and Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink is set to direct the film, which he will also co-write with Jeff Morris. This came completely out of nowhere! This game hasn’t even crossed my mind since it was released. 

Rent-a- Hero was a role-playing action video game series released by Sega that put a large emphasis on humor, which is why Pink is the guy who was brought in to direct it. It actually sounds like the movie could be a lot of fun.

According to THR, the story will follow “a slacker genius as he joins a tech startup that is billed as an ‘Uber for heroes,’ only to find out that company insiders are planning on weaponizing the technology, leaving the protagonist and his Rent-a-Hero comrades to stop them.”

In a statement, Pink said:

“As Sega fans, we are excited to dive into the near future with these Rent a Heroes, and explore what it means to be an everyday hero in a comedic, high-energy, action adventure.

This is the first of many films that Sega is hoping to develop into films. It was previously reveled that they were looking to adapt other games like Golden Axe, Shinobi, Altered Beast, Virtua World, and more.

It’s interesting that they are starting out with Rent-a-Hero. Hopefully it does well for them so they can adapt some of the other classic games into movies.
