What We Know So Far About the Star Wars: Starfighter Movie
A new Star Wars movie is coming, and with it a trip to a galaxy far, far away set in a new time period. Star Wars: Starfighter is scheduled for a May 2027 release, starring Ryan Gosling (yes, Ken from the Barbie movie) as a brand-new character. We don't know much about his role or the film yet, though director Shawn Levy revealed a bit last month during the Star Wars Celebration fan event in Japan. "The movie is a new adventure. It's new characters," Levy said. "It takes place in a new period of time after the battle of Exegol, after Episode 9." Episode 9 refers to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which came out in 2019, and the planet Exegol was the site of a battle during the war between the First Order and the Resistance. No one was surprised to see plans for a new Star Wars movie, given how the franchise has drastically expanded since Disney bought the franchise's parent company, Lucasfilm, in 2012. Fans are ready for a standalone Star Wars film The new film has excited superfans like Jimmy "Mac" McInerney, host and producer of the Rebel Force Radio: Star Wars Podcast. "Superfans like me will be there for anything Star Wars, but I really hope Levy and Gosling will pack the appropriate punch to excite the masses," McInerney told CNET. "I'm also very optimistic that this will be a standalone story with a solid beginning, middle and end." The movie will be set about five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and it won't follow any of the main plot lines from past films. So it's not a prequel or a sequel, it's a new adventure. Mclnerney thinks the standalone nature of Star Wars: Starfighter might be a good thing. "Sometimes Star Wars gets crushed under the weight of its existing lore, so it's nice to know this will be a self-contained adventure," he said. "This could provide fandom with a nice palate cleanser following the divisive sequel trilogy and propel the franchise into the future." For now, you can find all the Star Wars content your heart desires on the streaming service Disney Plus.

17 Films That Had Us With Our Heads In Our Hands Saying "This Is So Stupid"
Recently, u/WonderfulParticular1 asked r/moviecritic for movies that made them think "Jesus. This is so damn stupid." Here are some of the top responses: Paramount Pictures 1. Madame Web Sony Pictures Releasing "The villain dialogue alone was awful." – fethers42 "I had the unfortunate pleasure of watching this movie, not once, not twice, but thrice. And let me tell you, it does get worse with extra viewings." – SnooBeans5652 2. Holmes and Watson Sony Pictures Releasing "Such a waste of time, money, effort, and talent." – DrHemmington "I hate that I can't remember where I read this review, but someone said the movie was like one of those stories where someone is granted wishes that all have a twist, so the person wishes for their deceased loved one to be alive again, only to have them come back as an undead monster. Essentially, we buried Step Brothers at the pet cemetery hoping to get another Will Ferrell /John C. Riley buddy comedy, but got Holmes and Watson instead." – Rjsmith5 3. Rebel Moon Netflix "Man it's such a mess of a movie, shit just appears on screen for two minutes and are never talked about before or after that moment." – Half-White_Moustache 4. Jurassic World Universal Pictures "The end when the T-Rex and Raptor nod to each other in mutual respect for their teamwork when taking down the supervillain. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I honestly was expecting the Raptor to give a thumbs up followed by a freeze frame ending. It was that stupid." – Kubrickwon 5. Meg 2: The Trench Warner Bros. Pictures "When Statham swims at the very bottom of the ocean instead of being smashed into boiling paste." – Deckard2022 6. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures "Somehow Palpatine returned..." – riot_ir "To give an idea of how much we hate this movie in our household, a few years ago our 13 year old German shepherd became gravely ill in a matter of days. It was that clear 'end of life' type of thing. We made the call to Lap of Love, which provides home euthanasia, and they were coming the next day. My wife and I couldn't sleep at all knowing what tomorrow would bring. To pass the time, we put on some movies. But we didn't want to watch movies that we liked in fears of associating the death of our dog. Instead, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull were our movies of choice. Being in the category of 'movies you will watch knowing your going to put your dog down the next day' is a special kind of awful." – AkursedX 7. The Dark Tower Sony Pictures Releasing "I LOVE Idris Elba, but I absolutely refuse to watch that abomination of a movie. Just the previews alone were enough to make my eye twitch." – QualityParticular739 "Fuckin' A. That movie should have been as dope as the source material; instead it was worse than a turd in the swimming pool." – dvadersfist 8. 50 Shades of Grey Universal Pictures "It was one of the least sexy movies I can remember watching. About as hot as a Minions movie." – asdf072 9. Spectre Sony Pictures Releasing 10. The Happening 20th Century Studios "I remember we were about ten minutes in with my friend and her boyfriend (he had seen it before), and I made a joke about the twist. He told me I was correct and I was like, 'That is so fucking stupid!' We stopped it and watched Sideways instead." – fierce_history 11. Independence Day: Resurgence 20th Century Studios "Oh god I forgot about this movie! I think my brain tried to pretend it never happened. I was so excited for nothing!" – rubber_padded_spoon "That movie is so bad that it makes me mad at the hate Ghostbusters (2016) got the same year. I'd watch Ghostbusters five times before rewatching that trash pile. And I'm not saying Ghostbusters was any good... Independence Day 2 just sucked that much." – Disgod 12. The Dead Don't Die Universal Pictures "Should have been a slam dunk. Comedy parody of a zombie movie starring Adam Driver and Bill Murray? Fantastic supporting cast with Tilda Swinton, Danny Glover, Steve Buscemi, Chloe Sevigny? Sounds like something I'd want injected directly into my veins. I legit watched the whole thing thinking surely, SURELY at some point, something interesting or entertaining must happen. Just one glimmer, one scene that indicates a human being actually made this thing with the intention to engage an audience. Imagine my surprise." 13. Gladiator II Paramount Pictures "There were sharks." – Flatonr "It didn't need a sequel, but I was hopeful it was going to be decent. The writing was lazy and the sharks were so unnecessary. They could've done a lot with it, but it was just a big budget cash grab instead." – SeeYouOn16 14. 2012 Sony Pictures Releasing "That's when stupid peaked." – petziii "That movie really just seemed to be an excuse for John Cusack to ramp over various things in different vehicles. Limos, RVs, planes, boats." – jbmc00 15. Thor: Love and Thunder Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures "I was on the edge of leaving like 10 times throughout the movie." – Intelligent_Cow_9334 "Bale doesn't get to play the bad guy often, and when he does... it's incredible. I loved him in this movie so much, but I can't force myself to slog through the rest of it for his scenes to do a second viewing." – _Teksho_ 16. Jack & Jill Sony Pictures Releasing 17. Buried Warner Bros. Pictures "The whole way through I would have a fit whenever Ryan Reynolds used his lighter (burning precious oxygen) to see the screen of his phone. His backlit phone, which, after being in pitch darkness, would have blinded any standards human being. I just completely lost my mind every time, I don't remember any details of the movie and I didn't finish it."

"Star Wars" Series in the Works
Yara Sameh A mysterious new 'Star Wars' series is in early development from 'Lost' co-showrunner Carlton Cuse and his son, Nick Cuse. There are practically no other details available about the show, such as which characters it will include, when it will take place in the 'Star Wars' timeline, or which actors will be cast. Cuse is not the first 'Lost' alum to travel to a galaxy far, far away. J.J. Abrams, a co-creator of the sci-fi classic, directed 2015's 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' and 2019's 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.' And Damon Lindelof, Cuse's co-showrunner on 'Lost,' was hired to co-write a film with Justin Britt-Gibson centered on Daisy Ridley's character, Rey. However, Lindelof said in 2023 that he was 'asked to leave' the 'Star Wars' universe, and he and Britt-Gibson were replaced as writers by 'Peaky Blinders' creator Steven Knight. Knight eventually departed the project, which is still in development with writer George Nolfi and director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Also in development is a new 'Star Wars' trilogy from writer Simon Kinberg and a film with Taika Waititi attached to direct. At the 'Star Wars' event in Tokyo last week, Lucasfilm confirmed the upcoming 'Star Wars: Starfighter' movie, directed by 'Deadpool & Wolverine' helmer Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling. After 'Lost,' Carlton Cuse went on to develop 'Bates Motel' as he simultaneously served as showrunner on the FX drama 'The Strain.' More recently, he worked on 'Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan,' 'Locke & Key,' and 'Pulse,' Netflix's first medical procedural drama series. The younger Cuse is a writer and producer whose credits include 'The Leftovers,' 'Watchmen,' and 'Station Eleven.' This marks the dad and son's first project together. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..

‘Star Wars' Show in the Works From ‘Lost' Head Carlton Cuse and Son Nick Cuse
A new 'Star Wars' streaming series is in the works from Carlton Cuse, the showrunner and executive producer of 'Lost,' according to media reports. His son Nick Cuse will also be behind the upcoming series. Little is known about what the series will be about, who its central characters will be or where it will take place in the timeline of the beloved sci-fi franchise. Other 'Lost' principals have been involved in the 'Star Wars' galaxy – 'Lost' co-creator J.J. Abrams directed 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' and 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.' Damon Lindelof, who co-created 'Lost' with Abrams and who served as showrunner alongside Cuse, was writing a Rey-centered spinoff film but was replaced by another creative team. Carlton Cuse is a prolific creator and producer, whose post-'Lost' credits include 'Bates Motel,' 'Jack Ryan,' 'Locke & Key' and Netflix's recent medical drama 'Pulse.' His son, Nick, has written episodes of 'Watchmen' and 'The Leftovers,' both for Lindelof. He also co-wrote the screenplay for controversial thriller 'The Hunt,' also with Lindelof. This week the second (and final) season of 'Andor' starts airing on Disney+, which serves as a prologue to 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,' itself a prequel to the original 1977 'Star Wars.' There is a second season of 'Ahsoka' coming soon, but beyond that word on live-action 'Star Wars' series from Lucasfilm and Disney+ are as quiet as the abandoned rebel base on Crait. The post 'Star Wars' Show in the Works From 'Lost' Head Carlton Cuse and Son Nick Cuse appeared first on TheWrap.
