Star Wars: Rogue One arrives a year later on December 16th, 2016, followed by Star Wars: Episode VIII (official subtitle TBA) on May 26th, 2017. The second Star Wars Anthology film (Boba Fett movie?) doesn't have an official release date

Gore Verbinski's remake of this Japanese horror film takes the idea that watching movies affects us, and stretches it to a terrifying extreme. The meta concept is reinforced when single frames from the haunted videotape flash up during other scenes in the movie. Again, not all copies of the film feature the same frames. But fans can all catch a flash of The Ring at the very start of the movie, where it meshes with the crescent moon in the DreamWorks logo. These hidden frames are worth re-watching the movie all on their own - just don't answer the phone when you’re finis

Subliminal messaging isn't always about advertising. Some filmmakers use it to try and create a certain emotional effect in their audience, without them consciously knowing why they felt that way. The first thirty minutes of Gaspar Noé’s film Irreversible contains an extremely low frequency background noise that is virtually inaudible to humans, but capable of causing uneasiness and nausea. Noé deliberately inserted the noise into his soundtrack to make people feel sensations of disgust while watching his movie. But trust us - it's far from the only disturbing part of the mo

Again, keep in mind that none of this means an Obi-Wan spinoff is, for sure, going to become a real thing. Nonetheless, until further notice, it's definitely an idea that shouldn't be dismissed as being too implausible - and it's an idea that's worthy of further discussion,

From the moment Avatar hit theaters, it was clear that James Cameron had filled the movie with tons of political messages. From deforestation, over-aggressive military, to the destruction of Native peoples and the discovery of the New World - you name it. It didn't take long for people to notice that there was one country in particular that the director was singling out. When the movie's villain, Col. Quaritch, is explaining the risks of the planet to his new recruits, it's hard to miss the stripes of the American flag shining behind him - once you see it, it's not even that sub

The first of two entries from Alfred Hitchcock on this list, Psycho is full of smaller details that make it worth watching the movie over and over again - including a brief cameo from Hitchcock himself. During one of the final shots of the movie, as Norman Bates is sat in the police station after being arrested, Hitchcock subtly superimposed the image of Mrs Bates' mummified skull onto actor Anthony Perkins' face. To make things even creepier, not all of the theatrical prints of the movie included this detail, so audiences in the 1960s could spot the skull in one screening and then find it gone in another - leaving them to wonder if they'd ever really seen it at al

Marvel's Avengers universe is based on fantastic figures, science, and otherworldly adventures, but they're apparently even hard to believe for the everyday characters inside the films themselves. When Ant-Man villain Darren Cross references the old stories of a miniature superhero working in secret, he claims they're nothing but "propaganda, Tales to Astonish." He's not wrong, game key price compare|https://gamedealhq.com/ either. Ant-Man's unbelievable powers actually debuted in the comic "Tales to Astonish," making this one of the most meta moments Marvel has ever featured, and a major statement about the hero's entire story for the viewers who manage to catch

We at least know when production is set to begin on Star Trek 3 . On Location Vacations reports that the film's start date is April 15th, 2015, and that things will kick off at Vancouver Film Studios. Previously there have been claims that part of the shoot will take place in Seoul, South Korea, and that may still be true for some of the on-location work. When it comes to studio space, however, it looks like Vancouver won the raf

Director John Hughes had a knack for churning out classic movies in the 1980s, and with Ferris Bueller's Day Off , decided to remind audiences of that very fact (in as subtle a way as possible). The license plate of Cameron's father's Ferrari reading NRVOUS - "nervous" - fits his character, but it's the rest of the cars that deliver the nods to the director's previous work. The plate on Ferris' mother's car - VCTN - refers to Vacation , his dad's plate - MMOM - refers to Mr. Mom , and the principal's plate was clearly made just for Ferris Bueller's Day Off - 4F

There have been countless examples of people finding sexual imagery hidden in the frames of Disney movies, and not every one of them is convincing. But one film that definitely has a sexy subliminal secret is 1977’s The Rescuers . The animated adventure about two mice on a quest to find a kidnapped girl has a not-so-innocent image inserted during a sequence where Bianca and Bernard are flying on the back of Orville the albatross. A topless woman was superimposed onto two of the windows flying past during the movie's post-production. This discovery of the image in 1999 led to Disney issuing a recall of 3.4 million home release copies of The Rescuers - but thanks to the internet, it's still easy to find the c
