When will we see a trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens? As we reported a few weeks back, before the end of the year is incredibly likely. The rumor mill is buzzing about people who’ve seen footage from the film now that J.J. Abrams has completed filming and it sounds like the director wants to give fans something soon. Maybe a teeny, tiny tease to discuss over the holidays. Now, one site has what it believes is a description of the trailer. What happens in that footage? Read the Star Wars The Force Awakens trailer description below.

UPDATE: Watch a fan made version of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer.

UPDATE 2: A second description has also hit the internet. Read it below.

The first description comes from Badass Digest. Remember, this is a rumor, but it does sound remarkably like what we’ve heard we should expect soon:

It’ll be short. And when I say short, I mean one minute long. It’s going to have The Force Theme played on woodwinds, softly, over flashing images of the main leads, each fading to black. There’s no dialogue, just reveals of the characters. And then the music swells up into a full orchestral piece – perhaps what John Williams recorded this weekend? – and we hear a female voice, likely Daisy Ridley’s, saying “Wake up.”

Oh boy, I get chills just thinking about it. But yes, this makes a lot of sense and ties into some of the rumors we’ve been hearing. We heard the trailer is incredibly short. We heard it just gives you brief glimpses at a bunch of the new characters. And, of course, we heard about John Williams recording some new music for this important piece of marketing.

This video, if it’s true and when we get it, is exactly what Star Wars fans have craved. The smaller, briefest tease of what’s to come. Something official to watch over and over, analyze and discuss. And the fact they might release it over a year before the film’s release date, shows confidence.

What do you think of this Star Wars The Force Awakens trailer description?

UPDATE: This is from a few weeks ago but it kind of fits in line with this description. The Epsilon on YouTube made this fan-made teaser trailer for The Force Awakens. It’s good intentioned but, considering there aren’t any official images, it does feel a little rough (dead eye Daisy Ridley will haunt me for a while). Nevertheless, it’s a solid effort and something to fill the time until the actual video is released.

Note: There might be one small spoiler in here based on a previous rumor.

UPDATE 2: Making Star Wars has now run their own rumored Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer description. It’s similar to the Badass Digest one in a few aspects, but different in a lot of others. Whether or not this is the same trailer or another one is unclear. It may also be a description of some kind of internal reel shown to Disney employees. Either way, it’s an interesting selection of ideas. Here are some of the shots described by the site. Head there to read more.

MINOR SPOILERS FOLLOW

• Fade in from black, shots of the dunes, Boyega pops in to the shot from below. He’s wearing white Stormtrooper armor but he doesn’t have a helmet on.
• In the teaser we only see Boyega and Ridley really.
• Ridley boards a speeder.
• She has a helmet on like Endor Leia, a design with pop-down goggles.
• A shot of Ridley’s speeder approaching the station (the TMZ set we saw).
• We see the new Stormtroopers on a transport. The flight is turbulent.
• New X-wings.
• TIE Fighters.
• The new Soccer Ball Droid

As we wiped tears from our eyes at the end of Toy Story 3, we thought that was the end. The last time we’d see Buzz, Woody and the rest of the gang. However, the adventures continued in a few fantastic short films, at a ton of cool theme park rides and now, we know we’ll eventually see Toy Story 4 as well. We’ll always have a friend in Pixar’s first creation.

Beyond Toy Story 4, Disney has some thing else really special planned for the the franchise. They’re doing a full Toy Story hotel and you can see a concept image below.

The Toy Story hotel will be part of the grounds at Disneyland Shanghai, which is schedule to begin opening in 2016. Here’s a glimpse at what it may look like.

Disney’s Toy Story Hotel at Shanghai Disneyland

The image comes from the official Disney blog, which has the vague description as follows:

The Resort’s Toy Story Hotel will transport guests to a world inspired by the toys from the Disney•Pixar series of Toy Story animated films.

What would be in a Toy Story hotel? We have a few ideas. You’d have to imagine all the rooms will be themed to various toys from the franchise. Maybe you’ll feel like you’re in toy box. Maybe there will be a Sunnyside Daycare wing, Al’s Toy Barn to shop in, Woody’s Roundup, Buzz’s Star Command or even things themed to some of the short films, like Partysaurus Rex or Hawaiian Vacation. The possibilites are endless and you can imagine Disney Imagineers are having a blast designing it.

There’s no word on when the Toy Story hotel will open, or if it’ll be open when Disneyland Shanghai opens. But at this rate, since they’re getting this awesome hotel, who knows what’s next? A Star Wars hotel? Marvel land? Disneyland Shanghai seems like a must visit for any Disney fan.

What would be your dream experience at the Toy Story hotel?

A ton of new Jurassic World news just dropped thanks to a viral site. The site is technically for a company called Masrani Global, which, in the film, is the construction company which helped to build and create Jurassic World. The site has a ton of images, some of which feature actors Irrfan Khan and B.D. Wong, as well as some history of the island and park which opened (according to the site) in June 2005.

Below, see the new Jurassic World images from the viral site and read more about the film.

The Jurassic World viral site is www.masraniglobal.com. That’s where you want to go to explore about the film. Here’s a short write up from one of the pages about actually building Jurassic World.

Soon after the acquisition of InGen in 1998, Simon Masrani looked to work at a plan that seemed impossible given the circumstances of the years preceeding – the control and re-invention of a new theme park on Isla Nublar. Experts from the Masrani company were collected together, along with Dr. Henry Wu from the InGen company, to plan for the greatest theme park and attractions ever constructed in humankind’s history.

Simon Masrani used subsidaries Axis Boulder Engineering and Timack Construction to work on the preparation and planning prior to construction on the island. Construction workers were protected from native wildlife by InGen security over the course of the three years from 2002 until completion in 2004. With over $1.2 billion alone spent in concrete and building materials, this project was never underestimated.

The most incredible thing about the project for me was the fact that we were able to construct so far off the mainland, while maintaining all deadlines”, explains Jurassic World Project Manager Mr. Eli Jacobs. “The logistics and the planning were just incredible. Security teams, perimeter fencing, scientists, quarantine zones … it was quite the atmosphere.”

Simon Masrani was taking no chance.

Simon adds, “The sense of security proved vital in the establishment of Jurassic World. The media were having a frenzy at the time, conservation groups around the globe were looking and waiting for any incident to tarnish our reputation to try and take Isla Nublar away from us. We had to set a feeling of safety, for when the time came for opening in 2005, we had to ensure people were willing to come.

And come they did … Jurassic World officially opened in June 2005 to an incredible 98,120 visitors in its first month of operation.

Really interesting stuff. And that’s just the half of it. Here are some images from the site:

Most Pixar movies are emotional experiences, in that they inspire what the kids used to call “all the feels.” But their next film Inside Out is an emotional experience in a more literal sense, as it delves into the mind of an 11-year-old named Riley.

Living within are five primary emotions that drive her: Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), Fear (Bill Hader), and Anger (Lewis Black). Get to know all of them as Pixar begins to release new Inside Out character posters. (We’ll update this post as more posters arrive.) 

First, here’s the latest Inside Out poster showing them all.

And here’s the first Inside Out character poster, for Sadness.

Sadness also gets a cute little animated intro (via Mashable).

For longtime Pixar fans concerned by the studio’s increasing reliance on sequels, Inside Out sounds very reassuring. It’s got an intriguingly original premise and a top-notch, pitch-perfect voice cast. Plus, director Pete Docter hasn’t made a bad movie yet. If you see the inside of my mind while I looked at this Inside Out poster, you’d find Joy dancing wildly, while Fear mumbles quietly about the possibility of disappointment.

Inside Out opens June 19, 2015. Rewatch the Inside Out teaser trailer below.

From the tepuis of South America to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In 2015, he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all – inside the mind of an 11-year-old named Riley.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith).

The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.

There’s nothing like a nostalgia movie set during the decade you grew up in to make you feel old. The Nineties were my time. My teenage years. The films, music and culture of that decade have helped define who I am, which probably explains a lot about me. When it’s happening though, you never think you’ll see a time when the period you’re in will be looked back at with fond nostalgia. Until it happens, that is, and you realize how times have changed.

As time moves on, every era becomes a period film and the latest is the Nineties. Director Jon M. Chu, director of several Step Up movies, G.I. Joe Retaliation and the upcoming Jem and the Holograms as well as Now You See Me 2, has just sold a pitch to Focus Features for a Nineties-era dance film called Can’t Touch This. Read more about the Can’t Touch This movie below.

Deadline broke the news of the Can’t Touch This movie, which was quickly confirmed by Chu on Twitter.

2 Legit 2 Quit. #90s #ChuStudios http://t.co/Vm4iSzOKKx

— Jon M. Chu (@jonmchu) November 17, 2014

Annie Mebane and Steve Basilon, who wrote on Happy Endings and Community, will pen the script. Both currently work on a similar project, ABC’s The Goldbergs. Chu is definitely producing, but there’s no guarantee he’ll direct.

The story doesn’t reveal any plot details, just that it’s “a high school dance comedy set in the golden era of the 1990s.” So expect lots of the running man, the worm, big baggy pants, neon colors, and a healthy dose of music that may or may not include M.C. Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Ace of Base, Sir Mix A Lot, C + C Music Factory and so many others.

All kidding aside, if anyone can handle a movie like this it’s Chu. He’s got a stranglehold on the teen dance genre of film plus, with Jem and G.I. Joe, he’s also getting into Nineties nostalgia. I just hope this film is funny, but more serious than it is campy. Dazed and Confused or American Graffiti instead of Take Me Home Tonight or Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion, to name a few good and bad decade nostalgia movies. (I’d settle for something like The Wedding Singer, a decent balance of both. Also The Wackness is a pretty great Nineties movie, so it’s been done before.)

Are you gonna sweat for Can’t Touch This?

Charlie Brown and Snoopy turn 65 years young next year, and they’ve got some very big plans to mark the occasion. They’ll be starring in The Peanuts Movie, a new 3D, CG-animated adventure featuring the classic characters created by Charles M. Schulz. Check out the new Peanuts Movie images after the jump.

In the accompanying article, USA Today confirms Charlie Brown and company “won’t twerk, wear a baseball cap backwards or try to ‘break the Internet’ a la Kim Kardashian.” And while it’s not like I want to see Charlie Brown channel Miley or Kim, that just sounds like the most hilariously old-man list of fears ever. A backwards baseball cap? Oh, the horror!

But The Peanuts Movie isn’t really going for old-fashioned, either. Instead, the filmmakers are aiming to capture the timeless quality of Schulz’s original comic strips. And the new Peanuts Movie images give us hope they’ve succeeded. These aren’t the hand-drawn, 2D animations of years past, which would look hopelessly outdated to kids today, but nor do they have that slick, plasticky sheen we’ve seen in a lot of other CG-animated 3D movies.

The plot of The Peanuts Movie remains a mystery for now. USA Today reports it’ll follow Charlie Brown as he goes “on a quest to get something he’s sure he needs, even though he discovers he’s pretty OK just as he is.” Director Steve Martino explained the appeal of the character’s enduring optimism. “I wake up every day and it’s like, ‘Today’s the day we’re going to win that game! I’m going to kick that football!’ As you have more life experience, those things have more meaning.”

The Peanuts Movie will also involve a World War I dogfight against the Red Baron for Snoopy, and appearances from many familiar characters like Little Red Haired Girl, Fifi, Olaf, Woodstock, Linus, and Peppermint Patty. ”You love being back in that world,” said producer Paul Feig about the process of making The Peanuts Movie. ”And you immediately want to grab every kid you know and go, ‘Oh, my God, you’ve got to watch this!’ ”

The Peanuts Movie opens November 6, 2015.

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman is one of the most technically dazzling and thematically ambitious films of the year. With an all-star cast and some spectacular digital effects to make the film seem like it was done in one long continuous shot, Birdman is stuffed to the gills with ideas and importance. This movie doesn’t just want to make you feel something, it wants to say something about humanity and stardom and the inner lives of celebrities and the “cultural genocide” that superhero films have wrought upon us.

But what was up with that ending? Let’s explore. Massive spoilers for Birdman follow.

First, here’s a description of the ending from Wikipedia, which matches my understanding of how things happened:

On opening night, the performances are better than ever. Riggan uses a real gun for the final scene, shooting himself in the head in front of the audience, and earns a standing ovation from all but Tabitha, who walks out during the applause. He is down in the hospital, alive, because he had only managed to shoot off his nose during the play. Jake is ecstatic about a very unexpected rave review from Tabitha, lauding Riggan’s development of a new acting style she dubs “Super-Realism,” and the fact that his best friend is still alive. While alone in his hospital room, after a poignant father-daughter moment with Sam, Riggan spots birds flying outside his hospital room and climbs out onto the ledge. When Sam returns, Riggan is gone. Sam hurries to the window, looks down at the street, expecting to see a body, then with a puzzled expression slowly looks skyward, and then smiles brightly.

When I first watched the film, I spent the last few minutes scrambling to process all that had come before. Riggan was always a lousy guy, but shortly before he walked out onto stage for opening night, he seemed to have come to peace with who he was. When he took a real gun with him into the play’s final scene, it all locked into place: this man’s madness was going to be his undoing. In his never-ending quest for relevance and meaning, Riggan was going to kill himself. He was going to land himself the ultimate theater review, a review that would live on for generations, but also one that he didn’t have to read because he wouldn’t be around anymore. He was going to show Tabitha how far he was willing to go for his art, and prove to her that he was capable of more than just “cartoons and pornography.” Only…

That’s not how the movie actually ends. In an epilogue that is enigmatic and affecting, we learn that Riggan survived because he fired the gun incorrectly and only ended up destroying his nose. The play is a smash success and everyone in the country is talking about Riggan again. Riggan has received everything he ever wanted, and he is still around to finally see it.

So did Riggan mean to kill himself, and only end up accidentally shooting off his nose instead? All signs point to yes. Consider, for instance: the way Riggan seems to want to show up Tabitha; the way Riggan angles the gun on stage; Riggan’s general demeanor of emotional exhaustion; the allusion to “accidentally” not killing oneself that Jake and Lesley make earlier in the film. All of these indicate that Riggan’s survival was not intentional. Later, in the hospital room, we see Riggan climb on the ledge, and we are meant to extrapolate that he’s going to try flying once more. This is a man who feels like he’s done what he’s set out to do and has now been completely disconnected from reality.

About that flying: throughout the film, we’ve seen Riggan exercise supernatural powers on his environment. I’ve seen various interpretations of this, but I think Riggan’s powers are a physical manifestation of his own self-inflated sense of importance, or an imagined way of his inner-Birdman persona empowering him. Either way, whenever Riggan does something that physically changes his environment (e.g. trashing his room using telekinesis, flying back to the theatre from an apartment rooftop), there’s a theoretically plausible explanation for it in the real world, or the film actually explains how it happened. (E.g. he took a taxi back to the theatre and didn’t pay for it – no flying involved.)

So why does Riggan’s daughter smile as she looks out the window in the very last shot of the film? Again, every time in the film Riggan does something “supernatural,” there’s always some natural explanation for it, but this time, when he flies away, his daughter looks up, not down. (“Down” being where Riggan would presumably be, if he did in fact jump without actual the ability to fly.) Thus, I posit that the very last shot of the film is Innaritu’s way of joining the metaphorical/imagined with the real. Riggan still can’t fly, nor does he actually jump out a window in that last scene. The movie is just conveying that for the first time, Sam is seeing her father the way he sees himself.

I have heard an alternate theory from playwright Brandon Taitt, and that is that Riggan, in a bout of self-delusion, does actually jump out the window. When his daughter looks down, she sees his dead body and experiences a psychotic break, resulting in her look upwards at the end. I do think this explanation is a bit of a stretch – while the script does seed in that Sam is a bit mentally unstable, the look she has at the end is more rapturous and joyful than it is one of madness.

[Or maybe, as Russ Fischer mentioned to me, he does jump and die, but Emma Stone looking out after him is Riggan’s imagination of what happens after his death. After all, we’ve been in Riggan’s head for much of the movie. Perhaps the film is showing us what Riggan wants his daughter to see out of his final actions? That, having accomplished what he set out to do, he’s finally free?]

All that being said, I think my explanation of the film’s ending, if accurate, makes the film a bit self-defeating. I had thought the whole point of the film was that even though Riggan’s cause was noble, his level of obsession was unhealthy. This man let his whole life pass him by in the pursuit of fame and wealth. And even in trying to put on the play, he’s destroying relationships left and right (not to mention his face). When he shares that tender moment in the green room with his ex-wife Sylvia, it’s a glimpse into an existence he surrendered and probably wishes he could get back.

But with Riggan internationally famous yet again, Riggan seemingly happy, and his whole family back on his side, isn’t the movie saying that sometimes that obsession is worth it? My colleague Matt Singer points out that the ending might not be as happy as all that. Riggan still isn’t respected or appreciated as an artist, and while he has more Twitter followers, he’s not exactly a huge fan of microblogging. He’s still a freak show.

And perhaps that’s really what the ending is trying to say: no matter what we try, no matter what drastic measures we take, we will always remain prisoners to ourselves.

Discuss: What did you think of the film’s ending? Which interpretation makes the film the most rich and meaningful for you? Assume SPOILERS in the comments below.

This includes some of Jonny Greenwood’s cues, which you’ll have to wait for, but in the meantime you can build a playlist of the rest of the songs.

NBC’s Sound of Music Live! was a bit of a disaster as an actual musical production. Lead Carrie Underwood couldn’t act to save her life, and as a result the whole thing kind of fell flat. But Sound of Music Live! was an unambiguous success in terms of ratings, with 18.62 million viewers tuning in.

So NBC is trying the live musical thing again this winter with Peter Pan Live!, starring Allison Williams as the boy who never grew up and Christopher Walken as his embittered pirate nemesis. Watch the Peter Pan Live trailer after the jump.

NBC unveiled the new Peter Pan Live trailer on YouTube.

While we’ve seen pics of Williams and Walken in costume before, the new Peter Pan Live! promo offers a better taste of what they’ll look like in action. Walken looks much more like himself than he did on the poster, and he definitely brings his own spin to the character. As exec producer Neil Meron commented in a behind-the-scenes video, “The Christopher Walken way of playing Hook is the Christopher Walken way of playing Hook.”

As for Williams, she looks like she’s having a grand old time in what she’s called “the absolute dream job.” And that’s not just idle chatter. When she won the gig, her father Brian Williams got to make the announcement on his program, NBC Nightly News. “Family members confirm she’s been rehearsing for this role since the age of three, and they look forward to seeing her fly,” he said.

Brian Williams’ report is worth seeing if only for the adorable photo of a 3-year-old Allison in full Pan regalia. It starts around 0:25 below:

Peter Pan Live! airs Thursday, December 4 at 8/7c. Also starring are Minnie Driver as the adult Wendy Darling, Christian Borle as Mr. Smee and Mr. Darling, Kelli O’Hara as Mrs. Darling, Taylor Louderman as the young Wendy, and Alanna Saunders as Tiger Lily.

The Master Builders of The Lego Movie were an eclectic bunch. There were Batman and all of his fellow Justice Leaguers, Gandalf and Dubbledore (sorry, Dumbledore), Shaq, Abraham Lincoln, Michelangelo (the painter) and Michelangelo (the turtle). One that didn’t make it in, however, was R2-D2.

Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller revealed they originally planned for the lovable droid to be a main character in the The Lego Movie, in keeping with the gleeful mash-up spirit of the film. But in the final product, he’s nowhere to be seen. Find out why the R2-D2 Lego Movie appearance never happened after the jump.

Miller told Yahoo! Movies UK that R2-D2 was supposed to be one of the core group helping Emmet. “He was a Batman-level character,” said Miller. Lord added, “We figured we could get R2-D2 because his voice wasn’t a human being.” The duo wrote the script without giving much thought to which studios owned which rights, but once the film got moving that turned out to be a big issue.

“A kid doesn’t have lawyers that won’t allow the toys to play together,” Miller pointed out. “Part of the appeal for us was that Roger Rabbit thing that you can get these characters together that you couldn’t get in any other type of movie. Watching my own son play, he does put Batman on the Millennium Falcon and there’s no-one saying they take place in completely different times and galaxies.”

In retrospect, it’s not all surprising that Disney would be reluctant to let Warner Bros. play with its characters, or that Warner Bros. would be unwilling to promote a Disney property. Just one of the many ways the real world is a sad disappointment compared to the anything-goes universe of a child’s imagination, I guess.

Still, Lord and Miller were ultimately able to work in a smaller Star Wars cameo. There’s a scene in which Batman briefly joins Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and C-3PO on the Millennium Falcon. Actually, on second thought, maybe it’s better R2-D2 had to sit out The Lego Movie. Things didn’t go so well for the Star Wars characters who did show up.
