Director, J.J. Abrams explains why Star Trek skipped Comic Con.
IGN Movies caught up with director J.J. Abrams at this past weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con where the Star Trek filmmaker explained to us why there was a distinct lack of Trek evident at this year’s show.
Abrams explains that Paramount decided not to promote the movie, along with Transformers 2 and G.I. Joe, at this year’s Comic-Con as part of a larger marketing strategy.
Watch the embedded video interview with Abrams below to hear it from the man himself:
Brendan Fraser loves playing the role of the “happy-go-lucky explorer Rick O’Connell.”
Brendan Fraser needed no coaxing when he was offered a third Mummy assignment and the chance to return to the role of happy-go-lucky explorer Rick O’Connell yet again.
“I was waiting for the call,” he says happily. “It’s a great part for an actor — to have the chance to run around and do all that stuff. It’s great to be dragged around on harnesses and flung through the air. You look like you actually are a tough guy when the truth is . . .”
Fraser doesn’t finish the sentence. Is he telling us that he’s really a pussycat? In any event, director Rob Cohen thinks that Fraser is essential to the franchise and that The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor wouldn’t have happened without the 39-year-old Canadian’s involvement.
“He’s indispensable,” Cohen stresses. “I would never have been a part of anything that didn’t involve Brendan. He created the role. He’s the heart and soul of the role. I cannot imagine a Mummy movie without Brendan.”
The two previous films — The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001) — grossed more than $800 million worldwide. In more recent years, he has also established his credentials in more serious fare — with movies like The Quiet American, Crash and Gods and Monsters, and on stage in London in a critically lauded performance as Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. But this summer has seen the return of Fraser, the amiable action hero, first in Journey to the Center of the Earth and now in the latest Mummy epic which opens Aug. 1.
He’s delighted to be told that the press screening of Tomb of the Dragon Emperor triggered a lot of laughter from the audience. After all, he’d hate anyone to take the fantasy about an ancient Chinese tyrant returning to life to be taken too seriously.
“Look! It’s an entertainment! We need to be clear about that, first and foremost, right in front. The tongue has been planted firmly in the cheek since the very beginning.”

George Lucas says that he will consider making Indy 5, if he can come with an idea that the actors will like.
In spite of the critical mauling Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull received, George Lucas has been discussing the possibility of a fifth film in the franchise, stating, “If I can come up with another idea that they like, we’ll do another.”
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Lucas said that putting together the recently released sequel was a challenge. “Indiana Jones only becomes complicated when you have another two people saying ‘I want it this way’ and ‘I want it that way’, whereas when I first did Jones, I just said ‘We’ll do it this way’ – and that was much easier.
“But now”, he went on, “I have to accommodate everybody, because they are all big, successful guys too, so it’s a little hard on a practical level.”
Lucas also elaborated on the creative differences he and Spielberg have recently been experiencing. “We still have the issues about the direction we’d like to take.” he explained.
“I’m in the future, Steven’s in the past. He’s trying to drag it back to the way they were, I’m trying to push it to a whole different place. So still we have a sort of tension. This recent one came out of that. It’s kind of a hybrid of our own two ideas, so we’ll see where we are able to take the next one.”
With Crystal Skull taking more than $750m worldwide, a fifth film seems more than likely, so what direction would you like to see the franchise take?

Synopsis Based on an incredible true story, The Express follows the inspirational life of college football hero Ernie Davis (Rob Brown), the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy. Following his draft by the NFL, tragedy struck the star athlete and he was never able to take the professional field. But his tale would forever change the face of professional sports.
Raised in poverty in Pennsylvania coal-mining country, Davis overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to become an unstoppable running back for the Syracuse Orangemen. Under the guidance of coach Ben Schwartzwalder (Dennis Quaid)—a hard-nosed surrogate father with an obsession for winning a national championship–Davis would develop from an impressive high-school athlete into a legend.
While everyone agreed Ernie Davis was a miracle player, few thought this quiet young man would become an icon for the burgeoning civil rights movement dividing America in the early 1960s. Refusing to play by the unspoken racist rules of the day, Davis broke through one barrier after another to alter the way fans looked at men of his color.
Though leukemia struck the player a terrible blow in the prime of his life, his spirit soared when most would crumble. Forcing his bull-headed coach to re-examine a life lived in color-based privilege, Davis would join the ranks of black pioneers who inspired a movement that smashed barriers on and off the playing field.
