May 30th, 2012 Dane Sager

In an interview with The Telegraph, Simon Pegg has squashed rumors that Sherlock star and Tumblr favorite Benedict Cumberbatch would be playing Khan in the upcoming Star Trek sequel.

“It’s not Khan. That’s a myth. Everyone’s saying it is, but it’s not. I think people just want to have a scoop.”

Keep in mind, this is coming from the same actor who also stated he wasn’t going to be in Mission: Impossible III.

MOVIE REVIEW: Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

December 16th, 2011 James Shotwell

Film: Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
Starring: Tom Cruise
Directed by: Brad Bird

Some say the third time is a charm, but Director Brad Bird has made a hell of a case for it actually being the fourth attempt that gets it right. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol” or as most will refer to it, “Mission Impossible 4,” takes an already energetic franchise (literally) to new heights, packing enough slick visuals and big bangs to overshadow a weak script and all notions of rationality just in time for the holidays.

Pegg followed this tweet moments later with a post that nearly nails the coffin shut on the idea of HF2 altogether, commenting “Also, I don’t want to make Hot …

Simon Pegg teases “Paul” sequel

June 20th, 2011 James Shotwell

Few news stories can make me squeal with fanboy joy. This is one of them.

In a recent interview with Collider, actor Simon Pegg commented on the possibility of a sequel to this year’s comedy hit, Paul, which starred Pegg and his longtime co-star Nick Frost.

“Nick and I have this idea that we had out on the way to Area 51 that was really funny. It would cost an absolute fucking fortune,” said Pegg in the interview.

The film grossed just under $100mil (pennies in today’s box office), but made a considerable fortune for the studio because …
