I always liked this idea for a Man of Steel poster but never submitted it because it felt more like a teaser… pic.twitter.com/544SXsxhZI

Cool Man of Steel concept Olly Moss did but never printed.

Arrow producers tease that in the upcoming episodes, Arsenel is going to become increasingly important.

James Gunn put up this great Guardians of the Galaxy/Batman fan art.

Voices from Krypton has a three part series about a Gotham TV show that never got made. Fascinating stuff.

Clever little short film called Iron Can, via Laughing Squid.

Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 36 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness.

I have to say, this is a particularly good edition of Star Wars Bits. Dare I say, it’s a must read. Let’s get right to it. Below, read about the following:

• Watch how Ben Burtt created the sound for the Millennium Falcon hyperdrive failure.
• Star Wars Rebels Season 2 will debut at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim.
• Sunday afternoon, Disney XD will air a video revealing new secrets of The Force Awakens trailer.
• A Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser poster could be coming next week.
• And while you wait, see some really awesome new Force Awakens fan art.
• Disney’s ride Star Tours: The Adventures Continue could get A Force Awakens upgrade.
• An interesting piece of speculation about Luke Skywalker’s purpose in The Force Awakens.
• Do the Force Awakens Topps card number match with the old Topps Star Wars cards?
• What do the Star Wars: The Force Awakens names actually mean?

Eyes on Cinema uncovered this super cool older video of Star Wars sound designer Ben Burtt talking about designing the sound for when the Millennium Falcon’s hyperdrive doesn’t work. Eight sounds were mixed to create it. So cool.

StarWars.com revealed that the second season of Star Wars Rebels will debut at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in April. Along with it, the full cast and crew will be on hand for multiple events and panels. Head to this link for more information.

If you haven’t seen Star Wars Rebels yet, a quick reminder that there are three marathons coming up this weekend.

• Saturday, 12/13 (11:20am-4:00pm ET/PT) on Disney Channel
• Saturday, 12/13 (4:00pm-8:30pm ET/PT) on Disney XD
• Sunday, 12/14 (12:00pm-4:30pm ET/PT) on Disney XD

Now, that last one is particularly significant in that they say “After Sunday’s Rebels marathon, go “INSIDE THE FORCE AWAKENS” with Disney XD for official trailer secrets you may have missed. Disney XD’s Jacob Bertrand (“Kirby Buckets”) will reveal a few fun tidbits of the latest STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS trailer.”

Can they really surprise us with something from the trailer we don’t know? I guess we’ll find out Sunday.

Speaking of surprise, JediNews reports Disney might reveal the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser poster next week . The timing would make sense with The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies bringing people into theaters but this is unconfirmed. Star Wars teaser posters in the past have been things of beauty. If it does come out, you’ll see it here immediately.

Some truly awesome new Force Awakens fan art has hit the net over the last few days, as has been the case every day since the trailer came out. Here are a few of our favorite new ones thanks to Paul Shipper and the Poster Posse. Head to that link for more.

That’s according to Ridley Scott, at least. During a conversation about the intersection of making films based on some of the oldest stories (such as Scott’s new Exodus) and science fiction, the subject of Blade Runner 2 came up. Scott has recently said the Blade Runner 2 script was going well, and that he was very happy with the results. And now he says that Harrison Ford is also incredibly happy with the draft — Scott none-too-humbly reports that Ford called the draft Scott and Hampton Fancher have been working on “the best thing I’ve ever read.”

While speaking to MTV, Scott talked about the Blade Runner 2 script and Harrison Ford. He said “it’s written and ready to go” and explained,

I sent him [the script] and he said ‘wow, this is the best thing I’ve ever read.’ It’s very relevant to what happened [in] the first one. I’m not just doing a sequel with lots of action and see how far we can go with the special effects, because you can’t really. [With] Blade Runner we kind of landed on a somehow very credible future. And it’s very difficult to change that because it’s been so influential with everything else.

We’d rather get that straight from Harrison Ford, frankly, but we’ll have to settle for this for now.

He also talks a bit about Prometheus 2, saying that, yeah, it’ll be Shaw and David’s story.

Oh, you have to. You can’t have a person go off into the galaxy and have a person who’s still got his head off. Once that head goes back on he’s really dangerous, but he’s also very seductive. So maybe he’ll persuade her to put the head back [on].

While Scott was originally set to direct Blade Runner 2, in recent weeks he has possibly fallen away from that particular role. Now, it appears that someone who is as-yet unnamed will direct the film in 2015 while Scott makes The Martian and gets to work on Prometheus 2.

(In the MTV interview, Scott says that “the right answer for now” is that he’s debating about whether or not to direct.)

Here’s the video, from MTV:

The King Kong prequel Skull Island just got a new title and release date. Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and starring Tom Hiddleston, the film is now called Kong: Skull Island. Additionally, it has moved from November 4, 2016 to March 10, 2017. It’ll be released in 3D and IMAX 3D.

Below, read the brand new plot description for Kong: Skull Island.

Here’s the new plot description of Kong: Skull Island:

In the spirit of its worldwide blockbuster Godzilla, Legendary Pictures presents a bold new take on the mythos of another iconic beast with KONG: SKULL ISLAND, which stars Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers and Thor series).  Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer) and written by John Gatins (Flight) and Max Borenstein (Godzilla), KONG: SKULL ISLAND will fully immerse audiences in the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes as a team of explorers ventures deep inside the treacherous, primordial island.  Legendary’s story honors the foundations of existing King Kong lore, but places it in an entirely new, distinct timeline.  Thomas Tull (Godzilla, The Dark Knight, Pacific Rim) and Jon Jashni (Godzilla, upcoming Warcraft) will produce and Alex Garcia (Godzilla) will executive produce.  The film will be released in 3D and IMAX 3D by Universal Pictures.

Not a lot of information there that we didn’t already know but, it’s very encouraging that things are moving forward like this. If you follow the director on social media, you’ve probably seen that he’s been all over the world looking at some absolutely beautiful locations. Lush, evocative natural landscapes. One can only assume, these are the initial location scouts for what we’ll all see, in 3D and IMAX 3D, on March 10, 2017.

As of right now, there is already a movie opening that weekend, the Untitled Kevin Lima Bollywood Musical, which is an animated project being released by Fox. So, no big competition on that front. This date is a few weeks ahead of another Legendary project, Pacific Rim 2. Gonna be a busy few weeks for those guys.

What do you think of the new title, Kong: Skull Island?
