A Day of Moviegoing at Regal Edwards...

So I watched Tron: Ares today!

Almost 15 years after Tron: Legacy's theatrical release, the new Tron sequel starring Jared Leto made the ending to that 2010 film make sense. Click here for more details.

Lookin' Ahead to THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU!

Earlier today, Lucasfilm released the teaser poster and teaser trailer for next year's Star Wars film, The Mandalorian and Grogu...with Pedro Pascal reprising his role as Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin. Grogu, the young Force user who was rescued from the Jedi Temple during the Order 66 massacre in Revenge of the Sith, is off to partake in a new adventure with the Mandalorian that sees them working with Colonel Ward, a New Republic officer played by Sigourney Weaver...and running into the likes of Rotta the Hutt, the son of Jabba who'll be voiced by Jeremy Allen White (of the FX TV series The Bear).

The Mandalorian and Grogu will be released in theaters nationwide on May 22, 2026. Its teaser trailer should supposedly be shown in front of next month's Tron: Ares, but definitely in front of December's Avatar: Fire and Ash. This is the way!

A Day of Moviegoing at AMC Theatres...

Gettin' ready to watch Apollo 13 (which celebrated the 30th anniversary of its theatrical release on June 30th of this year) in IMAX today...

The last time I saw Apollo 13 at the movie theater—which was an AMC, to be exact—was on July 2, 1995 (according to my personal journal)!

A Day of Moviegoing at AMC Theatres...

Just watched Tim Burton's first Batman film (which celebrated the 35th anniversary of its theatrical release last year) in Dolby earlier today!

I saw Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on the big screen almost three months ago; the only other blockbuster that I watched in the summer of 1989 (I was 9 years old at the time) which needs to be re-released next is Ghostbusters II. I doubt that's gonna happen, though.

Filming Has Begun on STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER!

So an hour ago, Lucasfilm announced that principal photography has begun in the United Kingdom on Star Wars: Starfighter! Joining Ryan Gosling, Mia Goth and Matt Smith on Shawn Levy's standalone Star Wars flick is Flynn Gray, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings and Amy Adams.

Starfighter—which will be the second brand-new Star Wars movie (behind next May's The Mandalorian and Grogu) to be released on the big screen since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker—will come out in theaters nationwide on May 28, 2027. (The story for Starfighter takes place five years after the events in The Rise of Skywalker.) As for The Mandalorian and Grogu, it remains to be seen if we'll see a teaser trailer for it before the end of this year...possibly in front of December's Avatar: Fire and Ash (since that's Disney's final blockbuster for 2025).

Also, the original Star Wars film, A New Hope, will be re-released in theaters nationwide on April 30, 2027, for its 50th anniversary! The last time I saw A New Hope on the big screen was in January 1997, for its Special Edition. I was a junior in high school at that time.

Pretty cool that a pair of Star Wars films will be shown at theaters in the span of one month less than two years from now. Carry on!
