Victor has details on an extended cut of Prometheus, casting news on the Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire, and more in the Rundown.
MOVIES/TV:
- Were you a bit confused by Prometheus? Well, that problem may be resolved or compacted, depending on what is in the 20 minutes of footage put into the extended cut that’s hitting Blu-Ray this fall. Ridley Scott has revealed that the extended cut (separate from a director’s cut, Scott is actually happy with the theatrical release) will be included in the Blu-Ray release, but did not detail what the added scenes will involve. We will just have to wait and see, the Prometheus Blu-Ray is expected to land this October.
- Mission Impossible III villain Philip Seymour Hoffman has been offered a role in Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire. The role would be of the new Head Gamemaker who is secretly the leader of a rebel group. He hasn’t officially taken the role, but we will keep you posted. Catching Fire is on track for a November 2013 release.
- Looks like Venom and Spider-Man are destined to go at it again. It has been revealed that The Amazing Spider-Man and the upcoming Venom film take place in the same universe, and it is very likely that paths will cross in the inevitable sequels. The Amazing Spider-Man hits July 3, no word yet on a Venom release date.
- To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation, two episodes of the series will be shown back-to-back (or side-by-side, if you will) in theaters on July 23. The episodes have been remastered in HD as part of the show’s upcoming Blu-Ray release, and the event will also include interviews with cast and crew. Head here to check out participating theaters, and pick up the first season of TNG on Blu-Ray on July 24.
