Kevin Smith Visits Star Wars Set
Kevin Smith recently visited the set of Star Wars nine.
As always, he had nothing but good things to say about it on a show called GMA Day.
As often happens, he got very emotional, and cried after watching a performance many are guessing was Mark Hamill.
"I wept on set because I saw somebody give a career-best performance. Somebody I’ve seen in these movies before. I rolled a tear, it was so darn powerful."

Guillermo del Toro Pinocchio Not For Kids
I can't be the only one who had zero interest in yet another adaptation of the story of Pinocchio.
Then I heard that Guillermo del Toro was the one behind it all, and suddenly I was down right excited.
I am aware that this stop motion version of Pinocchio being done for Netflix is not news.
I also understand that Del Toro being the writer, producer and director of this musical is not news either.
But the part I do find interesting though is that Del Toro is making it clear that this will not be a family friendly version of the age old tale.
“It’s not a Pinocchio for all the family. Of course. Pinocchio during the rise of Mussolini, do the math. A puppet during the rise of fascism.”
Del Toro continues with “He’s a creature that is created through unnatural means from a father that he then distances [himself] from, and has to learn about failure and pain and loneliness.”
Bumblebee director not directing Guardians Of The Galaxy 3
Bumblebee director Travis Knight is not directing Guardians Of The Galaxy 3.
In a recent interview he was blunt in his denial.
"I'm a huge fan of what Marvel did, it's no surprise for anyone to know that as a child I was a huge fan of comics. But no, it's just a rumor!"
So will Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 ever be made?
I still say that Kevin Smith is the only one on the planet that could take the job without massive backlash, but he seems loyal to DC so far.
Warwick Davis Not Returning To Leprechaun
Warwick Davis has been a fan favorite across many nerdy film franchises.
He is the most well known Ewok from Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi, Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter movies, and of course the star of the Leprechaun films.
Yeah, he was also Marvin in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Nikabrik in the The Chronicles of Narnia, and so many others, but this isn't just me reading his entire IMDB page.
This is about the one franchise he isn't interested in returning to; Leprechaun.
He will not be in Leprechaun Returns when it hits theaters December 11th.
That role will go to someone named Linden Porco instead.
In a recent interview Davis explained his reason why.
"You know what we did six Leprechaun films and around Halloween people always watch them and love them. Horror is an interesting medium, I think it's different when you have kids, you look at horror in a slightly different way. Since I finished the Leprechaun films I had kids and I see the world through their eyes and to be in a horror movie right now is probably not quite right, I will wait until my son turns 18 and then I'll do some horror again."
