Movie Addicts. Celeb Dishers. Gamers. We're All Here.

James Bond, Captain Kirk, Tony Stark…I’ve already covered most of the talked-about 2008 releases, but there’s a lot of news and hype I’m excited to share. So I’ll condense it here, for your reading pleasure:

Bond 22

As you’ve no doubt heard, we have a title: Quantum of Solace. It’s taken straight from an Ian Fleming short story, and it even has the two Os necessary to create an awesome logo. It’s a bit odd-sounding, sure, but as a Fleming fan I’m very pleased with the choice. I do wonder if they’ll include any explanation of the title and its meaning. In the short story, it refers to the feeling of comfort one derives from trusting that another person will always behave in a human way towards you. This could certainly be made to tie into the story, but they might avoid the topic entirely.

Iron Man

Every week, it seems they release a new image from Iron Man that looks almost exactly the same as the last one. While it keeps the fans quelled, it doesn’t tell us much - but we do know that, in The Incredible Hulk, Robert Downey Jr. will appear as Iron Man. Interesting crossover indeed.

Star Trek

The new trailer is quite mysterious; playing in front of Cloverfield, it has captivated and baffled fans of the series. It appears to show the construction of Enterprise, and not much else. However, we have learned that there will be 1,000 digital effects shots in the film, and that we can expect a full trailer sometime this summer.

We’ll all be keeping eyes out for new hype. In the meantime, if the first news item was of interest to you, play some James Bond movie trivia.
