“I felt there were a lot more Star Wars stories left to tell,” said George Lucas, executive producer of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. “I was eager to start telling some of them through animation and, at the same time, push the art of animation forward.”

Based on the previous Clone Wars series shown at the Cartoon Network, the new version will be using state of the art computer-generated animation. Produced at Lucasfilm Animation at Marin County, Ca and the new studio in Singapore thirty episodes have been made with more to come as the series progresses.

International release dates will be announced soon.Hopefully George Lucas will continue and restart the whole Star Wars franchise again. Please.Take a look at the sneak peek and behind the scenes at the Official web site:

Vanity Fair - George Lucas Q & A Star Trek Change DateParamount has announced a new release date to May 8, 2009 (What a Bummer!!!) There are no delays due to the writers strike. None.

The reason for the delay is… Films with release dates for next summer are delayed due to the writers strike. Most of them for a month or more.

“Star Trek is moving to summer because its has so much box-office potential,” Paramount spokesman Michael Vollman told the trade paper. “It does not need any script tweaks. They’re two-thirds of the way through shooting, and we would have delivered a great movie at Christmas.”

So, Paramount is cashing in on the vacuum by strategically placing what they hope to be “the super blockbuster movie to watch” in May. Production is going on schedule but we all have to wait for Summer.

Watch out for torrent leaks.

Transformers 2 is scheduled for a June 2009 release
Rotten Tomatoes reports that Michael Bay has finished writing Transformers 2.

“I’ve been writing Transformers 2,” said Bay. “We’ve got our characters all designed. I always write all my scripts, my movies anyway so at least I’ve got something to give the writers. It’s like a template. We have a really good outline so I worked on that.”

Expect more… A lot more robots…

The teaser trailer for Star Trek was short, mysterious and left everyone hanging. (Hmmmm? too premature…?) There’s some questions about the teaser people were puzzled, what it meant and what was that all about. (Happens to the best of us…)

Producer Roberto Orci had a tet-a-tet with hey! Trekmovie.com! to expand on the filmmakers intentions for the enigmatic teaser. (Quite a tease)

“Firstly, there is the notion that there is precedent in the novels, etc that components of the ship can be built on Earth and assembled here or there. And the second thing is that the Enterprise is not some flimsy yacht that has to be delicately treated and assembled. The idea that things have to be assembled in space has normally been associated with things that donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t have to be in any kind of pressure situation and don’t ever have to ever enter a gravity well. That is not the case with the Enterprise. The Enterprise actually has to sustain warp, which we know is not actually moving but more a warping of space around it. And we know that its decks essentially simulate Earth gravity and so its not the kind of gravity created by centrifugal force, it is not artificially created by spinning it. It is created by an artificial field and so it is very natural, instead of having to create a fake field in which you are going to have to calibrate everything, to just do it in the exact gravity well in which you are going to be simulating.”

ahummm… a very stimulating explanation Enterprise is not a flimsy yacht to sustain warp its not actually moving but “warping” it doesn’t need artificial gravity to be built it can take Earth’s gravity just fine.
