Jared Leto has revealed what he’d like to see from a potential spin-off film between The Joker and Harley Quinn.

While reception to DC’s Suicide Squad has been mixed at best, most viewers and critics agree two high-points of the whole predicament is Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Jared Leto’s neglected spin on The Joker.

The 44-year-old has previously spoken out over how there’s enough deleted footage for a Joker film, but it seems the actor quite likes… Read the full story

Gareth Edwards takes the wheel for the Star Wars spin off and says the name of the film relates to the whole feel of the project.

‘Rogue One is a military call sign to some extent, but this is the first film that’s gone off-piste and is not part of the saga — or the Anakin story — so it’s the “rogue” one, you know,’ Gareth explained.

Military references… sounds a little… Empiric, don’t you think?

Matt Damon’s latest blockbuster Jason Bourne, which cost £91,000,000 to make, has been showing almost exclusively in 3D over in the communist country.

But it sounds the combo of shaky camera work, employed by director Paul Greengrass, and a digitally-heightened visual display has proven very unpalatable indeed.

It looks like Julie Andrews has given her seal of approval to Emily Blunt playing Mary Poppins – at least, according to Blunt herself.

While Dick Van Dyke has expressed doubts about the ‘difficult’ project, Blunt claims 80-year-old Andrews was positively jubilant to hear who will play her iconic role in Mary Poppins Returns.

Emily told EW: ‘Rob [Marshall, the sequel’s director] said he was in the Hamptons, and he saw [Andrews], and he said, “It’s top secret, but Emily Blunt’s playing Mary Poppins”. And she went, “Oh, wonderful!”.’
