Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens Teaser Trailer!!!

This is definitely the best 90 seconds you will spend all day because STAR WARS IS BACK BABY! (Without Jar Jar Binks, Hayden Christensen, Disney songs, or any signature JJ Abrams' lens fares to speak of!)

The Millennium Falcon has never looked so good. Not sure about the cross joint lightsaber, but whatever still cannot wait!

'Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes' Thoughts/Review!

Last night the Informers got together to watch Matt Reeve's Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. Here's my quick thoughts and review. Mild-spoliers ahead!

What We Liked:

• Andy Serkis' performance as Caesar
• Toby Kebbell's Koba
• HUMAN WORK!
• Ceasar's son blue eyes
• MAURICE!
• Jason Clarke's Malcolm leading the human element
• Great message told through sci-fi
• Incredible special effects
• Post Simian Flu San Fran
• Realistic Ape movement
• Compelling story and character motivations
• Apes on Horses!
• Apes speech and sign language
• The original Planet of the Apes-esque score
• Matt Reeves' direction
• Tension created between Humans and Apes
• Parallels between both Ape and Human leaders
• The final showdown
• The end and where it leaves the Apes
• The chilling opening credits

What We Didn't Like

• The underutilization of Gary Oldman's Dreyfus
• Other humans weren't as compelling as Jason Clarke's Malcolm

          Wow! Just wow. We are huge sci-fi fans here at the Informers and it's great to see another amazing entry in the Planet of the Apes franchise. Andy Serkis and Toby Kebbell's performances are both incredible. Anyone who tells you that motion capture is not real acting is full of shit. These two actors make you feel for their characters and every time they speak you are on the edge of your seat. As for directing, Rupert Wyatt did a great job with Rise, but Matt Reeves tops him with this masterpiece. Reeves is able to create tension and story with characters that can only speak so limitedly. When the apes do speak, they volumes and that's a credit to the way Reeves and the writers set up the story. Jason Clarke was also a great addition as the human Malcolm. His arc was a interesting parallel to Caesar's. Overall I give this movie a 9.5 out of 10. Go see it! This is a summer must! After seeing this I cannot wait to see Toby Kebbell as Doctor Doom in The Fantastic Four. As well as see who Andy Serkis will play in Star War Ep. VII.

Star Wars Ep. VII Adds Two More Actresses

Lucasfilms announced yesterday that actresses Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years A Slave) and Gwendoline Christie (Game Of Thrones) have joined the cast of Star Wars Episode VII. Lupita is coming off hot after receiving an Oscar earlier this year. Her rise will only continue if she has a great role in the Star-Wars-verse. On the other hand Gwendoline Christie has gained the public's attention from portrayal of Brienne on Game Of Thrones and she will also be seen in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 2 next year. So overall two very impressive additions to an already impressive cast.

Brienne of Tarth as a Sith Lord is just too awesome to think about.

Star Wars Episode VII Releases Full Cast List!

After months of rumors and speculation, many sources including Comicbookmovie.com have reported JJ Abrams has fully cast his Star Wars film. Here is a list and quote taken from CBM:

Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film. Director J.J. Abrams says, "We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again. We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud."

There we have it, the new cast. Personally I am most excited for Andy Serkis. He must be playing a motion capture alien of some sort. Gonna make Jar Jar look like a bitch. Not like that is hard to do. Star Wars Episode VII is due out in December 2015.
