‘The Hobbit’: Here’s what you need to know about high frame rate
You might not know, but “The Hobbit” is a special movie because of the way it was filmed. And that uniqueness will impact how you see it in theaters. Problem is, not many people are aware of what high frame rate is (I’ll explain it in a second) and how it will likely bug the heck out of you as you watch.
Harrison Ford ‘open’ to the idea of being in another ‘Star Wars’ movie
Han Solo is as important to the “Star Wars” saga as bread is to the sandwich. I often argue one of the reasons the prequel trilogy didn’t fare so well with fans is because it lacked a Solo-type character. Han Solo is just the absolute best scoundrel in the history of film. So, if Disney plans to make more movies involving the original trilogy’s Big 3, then they have to get Harrison Ford on board. According to an exclusive with Entertainment Weekly, Ford would be interested if the right stars align.

Comic book movie update: Jamie Foxx might play Electro in ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2′
There’s a post-credits scene in “The Amazing Spider-Man” that goes like this:
It got Spidey fans talking, everyone chiming in about who they think the mystery man could be. Some claimed it was Normon Osborn, aka the Green Goblin. Others thought maybe Mysterio, since the character possibly used illusion or magic to appear and disappear. But some thought it could be Electro, one of the most awesome Spider-Man villains ever, because of the way lightning accompanied the mystery man’s entrance and exit.
Now, the idea of it being Electro just got a little injection of “maybe!” since Variety is reporting Jamie Foxx is in talks to portray the character in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.”

Star Wars: ‘Episode VII’ to be original story
When news broke yesterday that Disney was buying Lucasfilm and would continue with a sequel trilogy (episodes 7 through 9), I wondered: What in the heck will the movies be about? There are hundreds of novels and comic book stories to pull from, or even outright adapt, but turns out that’s not what’s going to happen. E! is reporting “Episode VII” will be an original story.
