Joe Cornish (Adam & Joe Show) Could Direct Star Trek 3

With the departure of reboot captain J.J Abrams, the modern Star Trek franchise needs a new man at the helm and rumours abound that the man they want is "Attack the Block" director Joe Cornish.



It's been a funny old journey for Cornish, who started on Channel 4 in the 90's with "The Adam and Joe Show" with comedian and buddy Adam Buxton, transitioning with him to XFM and then 6 Music followed by his directorial debut in 2011. He's been writing Marvel's "Ant Man" with Edgar Wright for several years and now he's been placed firmly at the top of Paramount's list to take over from Abrams on the next Trek.

No Cumberbatch for Star Wars VII


Since J.J Abrams took over from batshit accidental genius George Lucas on the Star Wars franchise, the rumours about who he'd cast as who have been numerous and loud. At one point a very good case was made for a female actor to play Han Solo, and Jennifer Lawrence's name got thrown into the pot. Turns out that's not true obviously, because there are only three women in the entire Star Wars Universe, and it also turns out that Benedict Cumberbatch having been cast in the movie isn't true either.
