9 Potential Reasons Why No One Went to See 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Last Weekend
24 February 2015 4:14 PM, PST | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »
Looks like Fifty Shades of Grey might be a one-pump chump.
Though the movie made a record $80-something million during its first weekend, The Hollywood Reporter reports that its box office saw a “massive” 73 percent decline in the U.S. the second weekend. (Though it’s still made over $400 globally, so really, who cares?)
To be honest, we’re surprised: We assumed fans of the book and the plus ones they dragged with them would see it the first weekend, then word would spread that it wasn’t as bad as expected and everyone else would see it the next weekend. Here are nine possible reasons that proved untrue:
Watch: Dakota Johnson argues with her mom about ‘Fifty Shades’ at Oscars
1. Everyone Who Wanted to See It Already Saw It: As evidenced by that massive haul the first weekend. Fifty Shades is the fastest-selling R-rated movie in history, but maybe anyone who had any interest in ever »
'Kingsman' Deleted Scene Features a Young Michael Caine
24 February 2015 1:17 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Kingsman: The Secret Service is well on its way to being one of 2015's early box office hits, already taking in more than $155 million worldwide in just over one week in release. We reported last week that director Matthew Vaughn is already formulating ideas for Kingsman 2, but today we have images from one Kingsman: The Secret Service deleted scene that sadly wasn't included in the theatrical cut. U.K. visual effects house Jellyfish Pictures has posted two intriguing photos from a scene involving Michael Caine's Arthur, that made him look 40 years younger through VFX. Here's an excerpt from the Jellyfish website.
"Jellyfish worked on the VFX for the movie including a complex sequence involving Michael Caine looking 40 years younger."
While no specific details were given about the scene, Kingsman: The Secret Service comic book creator Mark Millar confirmed that the scene was set in 1975, and that it was cut because director Matthew Vaughn thought, »

23 February 2015 1:44 PM, PST | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »
From "The Good TheBad And TheUgly.Ca, Sneak Peek '...the good, the bad and the ugly..." in director Matthew Vaughn's "Kingsman: The Secret Service", starring Colin Firth:
Michael Stevens for 'The Good' :
"Based on the 'graphic' graphic novel series by Mark Millar of "Kick-Ass" fame, director Matthew Vaughn's amusing take on the spy-film genre, takes delight in adapting the story of a gentlemen-run clandestine organization that recruits a 'Marty McFly'-like son (Taron Egerton) of a top field agent killed in the line of duty...
"...into a "My Fair Lady" transformative, ultra-competitive training program...
"...while a global threat emerges from a lisping, tech criminal named 'Valentine' (Samuel L. Jackson).
"Colin Firth as 'Agent Harry Hart' aka ''Galahad', steals most of the film's thunder...

Gary Whitta Talks 'Star Wars' Spinoff Script and Prequels
23 February 2015 10:22 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
As many already know, Gary Whitta was tasked with writing the first draft of the Untitled Gareth Edwards Directed Star Wars Spin-Off, which is set to hit theaters in 2016. He has since been replaced by The Golden Compass director Chris Weitz. Thus far, no official story details have been revealed by Disney or LucasFilm, but the movie is believed to revolve around space pirates, Han Solo, Boba Fett, spies stealing plans to the Death Star, or all four of those things combined. While Gary Whitta is not allowed to talk about what we'll actually be seeing on screen next year, he did talk with /film about his commitment to the project, calling it the hardest thing he's ever worked on:

"Kingsman" Star Rumored For Han Solo
23 February 2015 7:52 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
An interesting new rumor suggests that Taron Egerton, the breakout young and buff star of "Kingsman: The Secret Service," might play a young Han Solo in the upcoming Gareth Edwards-directed "Star Wars" spin-off movie which begins shooting in the UK around Easter.
The report comes from British tabloid The Sun (via io9) which says the production will overlap with the last bits of filming on the James Bond film "Spectre" which also is being filmed at Pinewood Studios and wraps late March/early April.
Gary Whitta wrote the first draft of the film's script with Chris Weitz doing a recent polish. However, there's no story details as yet regarding the movie beyond rumors of it involving Han Solo and Boba Fett and potentially being a 'heist thriller' following a group of space pirates.
Egerton isn't the first rumored for the part as "Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul was linked »

Star Wars Spinoff May Be Looking At Kingsman's Taron Egerton For A Huge Role
22 February 2015 1:55 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Following the prequels, you'd think that the Star Wars franchise might move away from telling more origin stories about original trilogy characters, but if the ever-swirling rumors that have been coming out over the last few months are accurate, that won't be the case: we've been hearing plenty of stories recently suggesting that one of the Star Wars spin-off films in the works is about a young Han Solo. But who would play the younger version of the rogue space smuggler? According to recent reports, it could be Kingsman: The Secret Service star Taron Egerton. Given that this story comes to us from The Sun, one might be wise to hesitate before immediately calling this story fact - but their sources have evidently told them that Taron Egerton is being considered as a possible candidate to play a young Han Solo in an upcoming Star Wars spin-off movie.

Further rumours have surfaced about a potential Star Wars spin-off film featuring the character of Han Solo.

Taron Egerton rumoured for young Han Solo role in Star Wars spin-off movie
21 February 2015 12:51 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
If you’re looking for a juicy Star Wars rumour this weekend, then UK tabloid The Sun has just the tonic for you, as the newspaper is reporting that Kingsman: The Secret Service star Taron Egerton is wanted for the role of a young Han Solo in one of the several Star Wars spin-off movies in development at Disney and Lucasfilm.
According to the report, the young Han Solo movie will go into production after Gareth Edwards’ 2016 movie (which may or may not be about a group of bounty hunters stealing the plans to the Death Star) and will explore “how Harrison Ford’s iconic character got the Millennium Falcon and as well as showing how he fell out with Jabba the Hutt.”
If there’s any truth to this report – and given the source, that’s a pretty huge if – then it would seem that the long-rumoured Han Solo »

Taron Egerton To Play Young Han Solo In Standalone Star Wars Film?
21 February 2015 11:58 AM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
2015 is Taron Egerton’s year. After a huge starring role in Kingsman: The Secret Service, which has created a ton of buzz for the young actor, his star is starting to rise considerably and if recent rumors are to believed, he might be up for what could be the biggest role of his career.
According to UK tabloid The Sun, the actor is being eyed to play young Han Solo in one of the standalone Star Wars films. Now, as we have already learnt, Gareth Edwards will be directing the first standalone entry and that will be hitting theatres in December 2016. In 2017 though, we’ll be getting the second one, which we believe Josh Trank is handling. It’s this film that Egerton would star in, as the plot will, apparently, focus on “how Harrison Ford’s iconic character got the Millennium Falcon as well as show how he fell out with Jabba the Hutt. »

Kingsman: The Secret Service Movie Review
20 February 2015 7:39 AM, PST | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »
Title: Kingsman: The Secret Service Director: Matthew Vaughn Starring: Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Strong, Taron Egerton, Michael Caine. ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ is a spy action comedy film based on the comic book ‘The Secret Service’ created by Dave Gibbon and Mark Millar. The story feels like a James Bond parody, starring members of a historical gentleman’s club who recruit an unrefined, but promising street kid into the agency’s ultra-competitive training program, just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. The screenplay by Jane Goldman and director Matthew Vaughn is stylish, cheeky, subversive and above all utterly amusing. All acts of intense violence are so [ Read More ]
