TOM HIDDLESTON KNOWS HOW MUCH YOU WANT LOKI AND DOCTOR STRANGE TO MEET
Despite the fact that Tom Hiddleston refuses to spoil Thor: Ragnarok for us, we’re not giving up hope for a potential team-up between Hiddles and his best friend Benedict Cumberbatch in the Marvel universe. Cumberbatch made his MCU debut in last year’s psychedelic Doctor Strange, while Hiddleston will reprise his role as the mischievous Loki in the forthcoming Thor: Ragnarok. Since we know Doctor Strange will appear in Taika Waititi’s Thor film, might there be a long-overdue meet-cute between these posh best friends and their super counterparts?
J.J. Abrams doesn’t ‘feel any desire’ to make more reboots or remakes
Following his incredibly successful television career, having a hand in the creation of shows like Felicity, Alias and Lost, J.J. Abrams was handed the keys to some of the biggest film franchises in history. It started with a sequel — Mission: Impossible III. Up next, he was asked to reboot Star Trek for the 21st century. Finally, everything culminated in Disney asking Abrams to help reboot Star Wars with a new cast of heroes. Needless to say, it’s been an incredible run for the guy who wrote Regarding Henry, but when asked about whether or not he’d be willing to reboot or remake another classic franchise, he sounded like he was done.

Why George Lucas’s new museum has a crucial mission that goes way beyond Star Wars
IT IS welcome news that George Lucas and his team have finally settled upon a museum home for the Star Wars creator’s collection, after a years-long saga among three cities. Because the $1 billion Lucas Museum for Narrative Art has a vital mission to achieve. In an American culture that clings to its bubbles and walls and fences, Lucas knows firsthand that to an artist, these lines can be illusory. Such genre-crossing virtuoso legends as Ray Charles and Willie Nelson have laughed at the classifying markers that marketers and merchandisers, curators and cultural gatekeepers erect as a means to include and exclude. What is “high art” and what is “low art” when many of the same creative tools are put to thoughtful and profound use?
