James Cameron's 3D blockbuster smash may have taken audiences to an alien world, but it begins at home, in a futuristic Earth. Actually, Avatar begins in a dream sequence, with the movie’s hero Jake Sully explaining that his sleep has become filled with visions of flying ever since he was wounded in combat, opening his eyes every morning to find he's still confined to a wheelchair. His adventure on the planet Pandora piloting an artificially-grown human/Na-vi hybrid allows him to do more than fly, successfully defending the planet from his own side’s forces. The final shots of the movie mirror the beginning directly, showing Jake once again opening his eyes – this time, to a new body, a new people, and a new purpose. To take things further, the end credits are run over the exact same shots of flying as Jake's first dr
Although most of the film is set on a remote tropical island, Cast Away begins in the heart of Texas, introducing an unknown woman sending a FedEx package. The choice makes sense when the camera follows a FedEx package from there all the way to Russia, where the film’s hero Chuck Noland is introduced. When Chuck finally makes it back to civilization, little of his old life remains, and he decides to start over from scratch – but first, he has to return a package that washed ashore on his desert island along with him. That brings him to the exact same intersection the movie opened on, where Chuck finally encounters the woman who he says saved his life. After considering which direction to head, Chuck turns to the woman’s disappearing truck with a smile, and the film’s final shot gives another look down the deserted road it opened on – plus Ch
In recent days, Latino-Review has been dropping some big rumors about Episode VII ; first came word that Emperor Palpatine will be returning - if only as the Sith equivalent of a "force ghost" - and now the website claims to have knowledge that Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi could also be coming back as a ghostly gu
The folk tale of Sleeping Beauty has been retold many times over the centuries, but one recurring part of the story is that the princess pricks her finger on the spindle of her spinning wheel and falls into a deep sleep. Of course, the spinning wheel played a big part in Disney's 1959 animated adaptation of the tale, calling for Aurora to prick her finger and fall under Maleficent's spell. However, although Prince Phillip bestowed true love's kiss on Aurora and broke the spell, the spinning wheel survived. It can be seen in Rapunzel's tower in the beginning of Tangled , acting as a reference to the other Disney princess's tale of being trapped by a wi
Anakin's turn to the Dark Side may have been a long time coming, but he didn't waste time becoming evil, slaying the Jedi younglings on his first mission as Darth Vader. But one young Jedi ends up standing out, taking on a handful of clone troopers in front of Bail Organa before falling to blaster fire. George Lucas wasn't happy just giving himself and his daughter a cameo - the young boy is his son, Jett. The character's name is Zett Jukassa, and he's no random hero, either: he actually first appeared in Episode 2 when Obi-wan was searching for the planet the killer clones were grown
It's worth noting that this isn't the first time rumors about an Obi-Wan spinoff have popped up online. Rumors that the character would appear as a Force Ghost in Force Awakens (then known as Episode VII ) began to circulate back in Summer 2013, along with a report that asserted McGregor was pushing for Obi-Wan to get his own standalone feature. Then, in 2014, a separate (but related) story emerged, claiming that Lucasfilm has been actively developing an Obi-Wan movie for McGregor to headl
An Obi-Wan Kenobi film could take on various forms - such as, an adventure where Obi-Wan leads a team of warriors on an important mission (see the old rumor about Zack Snyder making a Seven Samurai-inspired Jedi movie ). That is, it might offer something new and fresh for both hardcore Star Wars buffs and more casual moviegoers al
Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm's Star Wars universe is already underway on the small screen with the animated series Star Wars Rebels and this week, certain filmgoers will get their first look at J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens when the teaser premieres in theaters . Now, a rumor has surfaced, regarding what's being planned for the first Star Wars spinoff mo
Though Obi-Wan's ghost already played a role in the original trilogy (embodied by the late, Https://Movietriviafocus.Com/ great Sir Alec Guinness), as L-R correctly points out, Hayden Christensen was CGI-surgically implemented into George Lucas' redux of Return of the Jedi in replacement of original Human-Vader actor, Sebastian Shaw. In that sense, McGregor's slot in franchise is pretty secure, should the filmmakers choose to go in that direction. After all, for a younger generation of fans, McGregor IS Obi-
