[WATCH] Harrison Ford Will See That 'Wookiee Sack of S#@!' Chewbacca "In Hell!"

[WATCH] Harrison Ford Will See That 'Wookiee Sack of S#@!' Chewbacca "In Hell!"

Harrison Ford may look grumpy as hell, but the man has a fine-tuned sense of humor. Once again, the 42 actor has some fun with his Star Wars wingWookiee Chewbacca on  Jimmy Kimmel Live.  I was hoping that this time Ford would be furious at Chewy for roping him into celebrating Life Day on the much-maligned Star Wars Holiday Specialbut Kimmel's writers stuck to the running joke that the Wookiee had an affair with Ford's wife.  more »

First Look: 'Ender's Game' Hungering For A Hit?

First Look: 'Ender's Game' Hungering For A Hit?

I'm not saying all dystopian kid-warrior movies set in the future are going to be shamelessly crib from their successful predecessors (especially those adapted from exceptionally popular, award-winning, decades-old tomes), but something feels and looks really familiar in the first official photo from 2013's Ender's Game, based on Orson Scott Card's Hugo Award-winning sci-fi novel.

Harrison Ford Might Return As Han Solo − And Die Happy

Harrison Ford Might Return As Han Solo − And Die Happy

Yes, Mara Jade, it's possible for Harrison Ford to be "open to the idea" of reprising his role as Han Solo in Disney's Star Wars Episode VII and still hate the character, as Movieline noted back in 2010. The key here is that the actor may finally get the opportunity to kill off the character that has bedeviled him throughout his auspicious career, which is something he wanted back in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.  more »

Indiana Jones: All 4 Adventures Headed to Blu-ray, Raiders of the Lost Ark Fully Restored

Indiana Jones: All 4 Adventures Headed to Blu-ray, Raiders of the Lost Ark Fully Restored

Indiana Jones junkies and future admirers will have a field day come September. The series of films are all coming out on Blue-ray full restored. It's hard to believe that it was back in 1981 when Steven Spielberg and executive producer George Lucas first brought Indiana Jones to the screen with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Now that film has been fully restored along with the archeologist's (played of course by Harrison Ford) other adventures.

Harrison Ford Not Actually in Talks For Movie Ridley Scott Will Never Make

Harrison Ford Not Actually in Talks For Movie Ridley Scott Will Never Make

The filmmaker clarifies: "We’re still in discussions about whether it should be a prequel or sequel. It’s an interesting conversation. I’m meeting with writers and I’ve also gone back to [Blade Runner co-writer] Hampton Fancher and he still speaks the speak. He’s right there. I spoke with him this week. But we don’t even have a script yet. [...] I’m not sure that that’s going to be a story point, so I don’t know. But if it were, nothing would please me more. Honestly." [EW]

Blade Runner 2 or Indiana Jones 5: Which Rumored Harrison Ford Project Do You Want Less?

Blade Runner 2 or Indiana Jones 5: Which Rumored Harrison Ford Project Do You Want Less?

Grains of salt at the ready! Twitchfilm is reporting that Harrison Ford is in "early talks" to join Ridley Scott's proposed Blade Runner follow-up -- you know, the one that will probably settle into the same limbo as every other rumored Ridley Scott film and which was previously described by its producer as a reboot, not a sequel. Nevertheless, let's assume for a second that this is a movie that is actually in some phase of development with the nearly 70-year-old actor considering his involvement. And then let's take all the gossip around a rumored fifth Indiana Jones film starring Ford at face value. I know it's difficult, but play along: Which movie would you want less? "Neither" is not an option!

WATCH: Mitch Buchannon is on Patrol in the Boobalicious Teaser Trailer for Piranha 3DD

Piranha 3DD may have been pushed to 2012, but the new teaser trailer suggests that the quality and spirit of the franchise hasn't been diluted. How could it have been, with returning fish survivor Ving Rhames dropping lines like, "Bring me my legs!" before gunning down the waters, Cherry Darling-style? Or with Baywatch's own lifeguard-slash-private eye extraordinaire, Mitch Buchannon, policing the bouncing bloodied bosoms fleeing from their piscine predators? All this and more -- "Double the terror, double the Ds" -- in today's Buzz Break!

Jon Favreau at Comic-Con Premiere: Cowboys & Aliens is Like Unwrapping a Christmas Gift

The Comic-Con crowd has always been good to Jon Favreau -- recall the splash he made here in 2007 with Iron Man, a geek director finding his people -- and charmingly (or cunningly, but mostly charmingly) Favreau knows it. So even without a panel to present at Comic-Con this year, he brought his latest film, the sci-fi Western Cowboys & Aliens, to San Diego in a big way: By hosting an enormous premiere filled with cast, crew, hundreds of fans, and a rousing, touching speech that seemed to genuinely come from the heart.

After the jump, watch Favreau and star Harrison Ford talk costuming, Star Wars ad-libs, Ford's Han Solo audition, and more in the first interviews of the series.

Will Alien-Free Marketing, Lack of 3D, and Tonal Ambiguity Make Cowboys & Aliens a Tough Sell?

When it comes to conventions, Jon Favreau is nothing if not a man of the nerd people. Mindful of how much he owes to the Comic-Con faithful for jump-starting early word of mouth on the Iron Man franchise, he came to San Francisco this weekend with a treat: Nine minutes of footage from Cowboys & Aliens cut exclusively for the WonderCon audience, including a special reveal of the film's big, bad aliens -- aliens that Favreau otherwise intends to keep under wraps.

Harrison Ford's Long History of Hating Star Wars

Harrison Ford's Long History of Hating Star Wars

While the world was watching Conan O'Brien's debut on TBS, David Letterman was having a pretty epic conversation with Harrison Ford, and yes, that galaxy far, far away came up. Every time there's even a remote possibility that I might have to interview Ford (it's never happened), I'm immediately immersed in an internal tug of war over the thought of bringing up my favorite movie of all time, The Empire Strikes Back, in his presence. After watching Ford on Letterman last night, however, there's no way in hell I would ever broach that subject.
