Happy 72nd birthday, Harrison Ford!!!

Leave a comment

Here is an actor who I’ve always respected. I grew up my entire life watching his movies over the years and I’m sure you’ve had too. Everything from “Star Wars” to “Indiana Jones” to “American Grafitti” to “The Conversation” to his cameo in “Apacolypse Now” to “Patriot Games” to “Regarding Henry” to “Witness” to “Frantic” to “The Fugitive” to “The Devil’s Own” to “Random Hearts” to “Firewall” to “42” to “Ender’s Game” to “Expendables 3” and now “Star Wars Episode VII”.

I’m sure he’s in London somewhere celebrating his birthday today with wife Calista even with an injured leg. I’m almost 100% positive he’d rather be filming Star Wars Episode VII right now instead of nursing an injured leg.

I’ve always respected Harrison, he’s one of my favorite actors.

I’m sure JJ, the film crew and the cast will throw some kind of surprise birthday party for Harrison. Maybe he’ll celebrate with Mark and Carrie too. I’m sure they will.

Harrison Ford’s injury halts filming for “Star Wars Episode VII” for two weeks…

2 Comments

JJ Abrams and the cast & crew of “Star Wars: Episode VII” have decided to halt filming for two weeks so they can give Harrison Ford more time to heal. While announcing the film’s break, they just signed two new cast members to join the film. Don’t get too excited though ’cause the two new cast members are completely unknowns.

A lot of people want to blame Harrison’s old age like I mistakenly did. Maybe I was wrong to blame Harrison’s age. I mean, the accident might not be Harrison’s fault but maybe it was the film crew’s fault, they weren’t actually paying attention.

Man, that’s gotta really suck when an actor gets signed for a huge role and then he gets injured when starting to work.

Hopefully, they’ll be more careful next time when Harrison returns.

Is old age finally getting to Harrison??? I’d say yes…

It was kind of predictable that Harrison Ford is gonna get himself hurt somehow in the upcoming Star Wars films being that he is 71 and all. Even if it wasn’t an action stunt, he still got injured anyway! Well, I guess we can definitely confirm that Harrison and Chewie will be flying the Millennium Falcon once more time ’cause that’s what Harrison just got injured on. He got hurt by the opening of the door of the Millennium Falcon. If you’ve seen the original trilogy, you would know how the Falcon’s door opens. It opens from underdeath. I am thinking that Harrison tried to get on the Falcon as the door was coming down and it hit his ankle.

The injury doesn’t sound that serious so he would probably have to take a few days off of filming to heal up.

I think this is a sign of old age. He haven’t been on a Star Wars set in many many years so he probably wasn’t used to the Falcon.

I think there’s nothing to worry about, though. He’ll be back for more filming and I hope he’ll be more careful next time.

Look like Han and Chewy will be flying Millennium Falcon one more time!!!

I hate TMZ like the next person but I thought this would be worth posting. TMZ exclusively reveals which looks like a photo of the construction of the Millennium Falcon for “Star Wars Episode 7” at Pinewood Studios. Look like we are gonna see Han and Chewy back in action again!

I wonder if we’re gonna see the return of Tie Fighters and other Empire war ships. We’re definitely gonna see some epic space battles in “Episode VII” for sure!

“Star Wars Episode VII” officially adds Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie joins…

Leave a comment

JJ Abrams, “Star Wars 7” adds two more to the cast. It is no surprise that “12 Years A Slave” star Lupita Nyong’o was gonna get added because she has been rumored for a long time now and it’s finally official that she’s definitely in! “Game of Thrones” star Gwendoline Christie who is known for her role as Brienne Maid of Tarth have also been added to “Star Wars 7”.

As you can see, the roles of the new cast are being kept secret for now but we’ll learn more later.

I am assuming though, that Lupita is gonna be the main female lead and she will probably steal the show. JJ is well known for creating interesting female characters and he’ll probably do that with Lupita. Is she gonna be a Jedi being mentored by Luke Skywalker? Wouldn’t surprise me if she’ll be the one with the light saber fighting Adam Driver’s villain character.

Expendables 3 at Cannes…

1 Comment

Here is a pretty cool article about the Expendables 3 at Cannes which is a yearly film festival in France. Sly hints at retirement from Hollywood which maybe possible that this is the final Expendables movie that Sly will star in. I love seeing Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson together in these photos. Mel is looking good and it’s great to see him smiling and enjoying himself for a change.

Check out the article here:

I hate that we have to wait all the way to August to see Expendables 3. I love these films!!! Yes, I loved the first two and looking forward to the third!

Star Wars 7 just started filming at Pinewood Studios in London…

As you can see filming for Star Wars 7 have finally begun!!! Also, notice how they are very careful at not revealing too much info with these photos. I’m almost positive that JJ does not allow the cast and crew to take photos and videos so mobile phones and other devices are not allowed in the studios so I don’t think you’re gonna see too much leaked photos of filming.

Only the official Star Wars page will reveal a little bit at a time. They’re still secretive on the “subtitle” too. I’m sure the subtitle is written on that clapboard in the first photo but as you can see, they wouldn’t show the whole thing.

I pray they do a good job with the film.

Harrison Ford finally offered for “Blade Runner 2″…

2 Comments

Alcon Entertainment claims that Harrison Ford have been offered to reprise his role as Rick Deckard for “Blade Runner 2” and it seems official, I take it? For a long while, Harrison himself has expressed a lot of interest in coming back to the role if Ridley needed him. I’d take this news with a grain of salt for now so don’t get excited yet. I won’t believe it until Harrison says so himself.

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Blade-Runner-2-Officially-Looking-Bring-Back-Harrison-Ford-43036.html

Looks like Harrison wants to play all of his well-known roles for one more time before he gets too old. He’s game for playing Han Solo again. He said he’s game to playing Rick Deckard again. He’s also trying to get Indiana Jones going again.

One role I’d love to see him come back to is Jack Ryan ’cause I thought Harrison played the best Jack Ryan. I thought, “Patriot Games” and “Clear and Present Danger” were great flicks.

I thought “Blade Runner” was great so hopefully Harrison returns. I’d like to see him and Ridley reunite.

“Star Wars Episode VII” cast revealed!!! Harrison, Mark and Carrie finally confirmed!!!

1 Comment

JJ just released this photo today surprisingly. Here is the new cast doing a table reading in London.

As you can see there is a mix of veterans and newbies in the cast.

The veterans seated are: Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Anthony Daniels (C3Po), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), and Kenny Baker (RSD2).

The newbies are: Oscar Isaac (“Inside Llewyn Davis”), Adam Driver (“Girls”), John Boyega (“Attack the Block”), Daisy Ridley, (“Blue Season”) and Domhnall Gleeson (“About Time”)

Look like Jesse Plemons and Lupita Nyong’o didn’t make the cut.

Since they just revealed the cast officially today… I’m assuming May the 4th this Sunday, they will reveal the “title” and the “plot”???

Carrie Fisher maybe looking different these days since she is older and gained some weight over the years but I’m sure they will find ways to get her to look like Princess Leia again. I remember Princess Leia was freakin’ hot in the original trilogy. With makeup, costumes, and hair stylists… they’ll make Princess Leia beautiful again. Carrie Fisher still is beautiful, though. Carrie is seated on the right, sitting next to Peter the Chewbacca actor. You can see Mark talking to an old guy with white hair. Harrison sitting next to JJ, of course.

Please don’t mess it up, JJ!!! Please!

Harrison Ford to have major role in “Star Wars Episode VII???

Leave a comment

As Sunday May the 4th approaches, even more rumors hit the internet about the involvement of Star Wars veterans… Harrison, Mark, and Carrie. They are hyping that Harrison Ford as Han Solo will have a major role in “Star Wars Episode VII” but nobody’s saying anything yet. It’s looking like that Han Solo will be throughout the next movie while Luke and Princess Leia will have smaller roles? It’s no surprise that Han Solo will probably have the most screen time in “Episode VII” ’cause it’ll probably help hype the Han Solo spinoff film that Disney/Lucasfilm is planning. Look like we will see plenty of Han Solo in the next movie. Han Solo is probably not just gonna be a mentor to new Jedi’s. He’s probably gonna help fight off the Empire.

Even if Harrison is aging, he’s 71 right now… I’m sure we’ll see him in plenty of action scenes. I’m sure Han will still have his blaster laser gun he has always used and we’ll see him running around with that. I’m sure we’ll see him back in the Millenium Falcon.

The question I’m wondering is, will Han Solo still don the black vest and white shirt? Probably. We’ll get the same Han Solo we always had.

Can’t wait to see the original trio back on the big screen. I’m sure we’ll still get Princess Leia and Han arguing together for comic material. It’ll feel like the original Star Wars all over again.
