Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke and Steve Starkey have joined forces with Walt Disney Studios to capitalize on the latest 3D/Stop Action craze. They have partnered to form an all-new film company that will specialize solely on the performance capture films. The newly-formed, as-yet unnamed company will be devoted to producing 3D films. With an amassed combined motion capture experience that amounts to years they are hoping their new product will rival anything they have done on their own in the past. This group, individually, are responsible for such eye-captivating films “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “The Polar Express” and “Monster House,” just to name a few. Together, and with the latest innovation in 3D technology brought about by Image Movers, Disney, James Cameron, WETA and LucasFilms LTD, the movie going audience should be in for a real piece of eye-candy over the next several years.

Titles and release dates for the next series of Narnia films has been revealed by Bob Belz, a producer at Walden Media. The current film, “Prince Caspian” which had been delayed will be in theaters sometime in 2008. The next film in the series will be called “Caspian: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” and will see the light of day in 2009. The final film in the franchise is “The Silver Chair.” Look for it at your local cinema by 2010. Belz is promising that “Prince Caspian” will remain true to Lewis’ book. “….let me put it this way,” said Belz. “All of the elements from the book are present. It’s not as easy of a book to adapt as ‘The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe’ was simply because it has a little bit of a different structure.” Belz went on to explain that director Andrew Adamson did make some changes for dramatic effect, “but everything that is in the book will be in the film.”

Will he or won’t he? That still is the major question on the minds a lot of Star Trek fans. And, they are getting a little tired of all the rumor and hearsay. Trek fans are a different breed and don’t care much for ongoing agonizing rumors. Like their fictional counterparts within the Star Trek universe, they prefer dealing in facts not rumors. So, the question remains, is J.J. Abrams, the current producer for the new Star Trek XI film in or out as the film’s director? Real fans want facts, not innuendo. So, for the sake of all real fans of the 40 year old franchise, Slice of SciFi will no longer report on the latest fad or rumor surrounding it and will only give out factual information that can be verified by a reliable source, which means, J.J. himself, close business partners and associates or trusted friends of his such as Greg Grunberg or the writing staff and official Paramount spokespersons. So, with that in mind, here is what Greg had to say about whether or not Abrams is still onboard in a greater capacity than just the project’s producer: “One week he (Abrams) tells me he’s not sure,” stated Grunberg. “One week, he told me, ‘No. I’m definitely just producing.’ And then just last week he was like, ‘Man, I’m really excited to do it (direct).’ I said ‘Are you doing it?’ He said, ‘I don’t know.’ I mean, honestly, it’s like he’s still really up in the air. But he’s really happy with the script. I know that. Really, really happy. I can’t wait to read it.” So, based on what Greg just said here is what we know as fact — J.J. may or may not direct, depending on his mood and schedule, and he absolutely loves the script that has been handed to him from his “Lost” writing partners Alex Christian and Roberto Orci. Oh, yeah and Greg can hardly wait to read it. Those are the facts to date.
