Watch Divergent Online Speaking to Turner Classic Movies, Spielberg recently laid out what happened. He was hanging out on the set of his beloved Close Encounters Of The Third Kind when his old buddy George Lucas stopped by to see the set and hang out for a few days. During the visit, the Star Wars director allegedly became convinced his movie would make way less money at the box office, and out of those conversations, an unusual bet arose. If Close Encounters Of The Third Kind made more money at the box office, Spielberg would give Lucas 2.5 points from his stake in the film. If Star Wars was more successful, Lucas would give the 2.5 points to Spielberg.

Watch Mr Peabody And Sherman Online We might think of Star Wars as the most established brand in the history of the motion picture industry, at least this side of Charlie Chaplin’s Little Tramp, but all that success wasn’t always such a foregone conclusion. On the set of A New Hope, George Lucas was a worried thirty-something convinced he had a massive flop on his hands. So, he took all that self-doubt and worry and used it to nervously make the worst bet of his entire life, one that has lined Steven Spielberg’s pockets for decades.

Watch Muppets Most Wanted Online Give It To… Pablo Trapero! The Argentine filmmaker specializes in making films about middle to lower class people pushed beyond their means, forced into difficult positions. He also specializes in slick suspense sequences that go from relaxed to super intense within seconds, a gift that would benefit a franchise-starter about basically-immortal characters that could (and once did!) get very boring very quickly. Check out the trailer for Carancho below.

Watch 300 Rise of an Empire Online What Is It? Connor MacLeod has fought through the ages to become the last standing immortal. Also, maybe he’s from Zeist? Where Is It? Summit has been developing this property for years, with directors like Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and Justin Lin attached to direct. Last year the studio opted for first-timer Cedric Nicolas-Troyan as a director, but by then leading man Ryan Reynolds had bolted, and the Art Marcum/Matt Holloway script had been gathering cobwebs.

Watch 300 Rise of an Empire Online Whatever the case, there’s a whole sea of 80’s remakes being planned. Why not give them over to lesser-known foreign-language filmmakers with vision? We cherry-picked some of the most anticipated 80’s remakes currently in active development in Hollywood and decided to hand them over to the best and brightest on the global cinema stage. Our first preference is to not remake these movies, but we know they’re all gonna happen eventually. So take some chances, Hollywood. Who knows where you might end up?

Watch Non Stop Online All of Hollywood was abuzz recently over the news that Universal had selected Pablo Larrain to helm their long-planned redo of Scarface. Larrain seems like a great choice, but even though his film No was an Oscar nominee, he’s still a bit on the obscure side for a major studio tent pole. You’d have to be a little hardcore about either Chilean politics or world cinema to think of Larrain. But maybe we underestimate executives who might have pretty diverse Netflix accounts.

Watch Need For Speed Online Once upon a moment, Arthur Depp performed individual figures. He exposed his natural functions to make identifiable positions in movies like What exactly is Eating Gilbert Grapes, Donnie Brasco, Chocolat and Strike. Then there are "The Tim Burton Decades," followed by the various Cutthroat buccaneers of the Carribbean movies (of which a fifth, Deceased Men Tell No Stories, is in the works).

Transcendence looks like a come coming back to the former headings, with Depp preventing the white-faced cosmetics yet choosing to cover up behind ANOTHER device in what looks like a twisty, techno-narrative. He performs Dr. Will Caster, whom the studio room describes as "the major specialist in the field of Synthetic Intellect, attempting to make a sentient machine that brings together the combined intelligence of everything ever known with the wide range of individual feelings." We’re not exactly sure what all of that indicates, but we know that it creates him the focus on of anti-technology extremists who try to take him down… only, in the procedure, they deliver Caster into his own uncommon state of online transcendence.
