"I am more excited than I can tell you." — J.J. Abrams
Can't get enough of Star Trek Into Darkness's trailer and Super Bowl spot? Neither can we, which is why we're glad Paramount Pictures has released a new featurette about the upcoming sequel, which reveals new footage from the movie along with interviews with Captain Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and director J.J. Abrams.

Like Charlie's Angels, but dangerous!
Even though the The Expendables 2 was a bit redundant and perhaps too self-aware at times, it was still an entertaining action movie with all-star cast appeal. A sequel is already in development, with Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage, Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood all being courted to join the cast. Noticeably absent from that list are the names of any female action movie stars. We say, if the gimmick of the franchise is surprising new cast additions, why not push it further than bringing in Indy by bringing in Ripley or The Bride.
Or, better yet, how about a stand-alone movie with an all-female cast of female action heroes from yesterday and today? Just think of the possibilities!
Imagine a revenge movie written and directed by Quentin Tarantino about an all-female super-spy team run by Sigourney Weaver, with members that include: Uma Thurman as the knife expert; Gina Carano as the pugilist/demolitions expert; Jada Pinkett Smith as the animal/gun expert; Kate Beckinsale as the poison expert/seductress; Chloë Moretz as the trainee (Fox Force Five!). But, enough about our fantasy she-woman action movie. We want to know what you think: Which female action movie stars of yesterday and today do you think could make the line-up in an all-female Expendables-style movie?

The first set photos from Paramount's highly anticipated sequel Star Trek 2 were leaked online, and, while fans had to pleased to see Spock (Zachary Quinto) and Uhura (Zoe Saldana) battling with Benedict Cumberbatch's unknown (possibly villainous) character, there was at least one person who was not pleased: director J.J. Abrams.
"J.J. was very upset," Saldana told MTV at the Independent Spirit Awards over the weekend. "I have to say that. It's not going to stop people from intruding, but they are, and it's such a bummer because it only hurts them by stealing away the surprise, you know."

Time is running out on the marketing campaign for the upcoming action thriller, Colombiana, which opens this Friday. The movie stars Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Star Trek) as Cataleya Restrepo, a professional killer who, after witnessing the murder of her parents at the age of nine, performs her vigilante contracts in hopes that they will lead her to the mobster responsible for her parents' deaths.
On the heel's of last month's first preview clip, today we get four new ones, all of which show Saldana in bad-ass killer mode.

The first preview clip from director Olivier Megaton's (Transporter 3) new action thriller, Colombiana, has just been released online. Written (with Robert Mark Kamen) and produced by Luc Besson, the creative mind who brought us some of cinema's most memorable female anti-heroes in movies like La Femme Nikita and The Professional, Colombiana stars Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Star Trek) as Cataleya Restrepo, a professional killer who spends her free time committing vigilante murders in the hopes that they will lead her to her ultimate target: the mobster who murdered her parents in front of her when she was a child.

The upcoming thriller Colombiana isn't the first time writer/director/producer Luc Besson has taken a female character from unfortunate circumstances and tried to turn them into an assassin. But instead of being a junkie criminal (La Femme Nikita) or a 12-year-old apprentice, Zoe Saldana plays Cataleya, a woman who has become a hitman after witnessing her parents' murder in Bogota, Colombia, when she was nine. While she works for her uncle by day, she continues to search for the mobster responsible for her parents' deaths.
An action-packed teaser trailer debuted earlier this month, which showed Saldana performing her job even if she wasn't wearing very much. A recently released poster again focuses on Saldana, and slightly alters the trailer tagline from "vengeance is beautiful" to "revenge is beautiful."
Another small change is the movie's release date. Set for an early September opening, Colombiana has been moved up a week to August 26, which puts the movie against "found footage" sci-fi thriller Apollo 18, horror movie Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, and the comedy Our Idiot Brother.
Directed by Olivier Megaton (Transporter 3) and produced by co-written by Besson (along with Taken screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen), Colombiana co-stars Michael Vartan and Cliff Curtis.

In early April, Star Trek co-screenwriter Roberto Orci revealed that he and his fellow co-screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof were "in the middle of writing" the script for the Star Trek 2 (working title).
Star Trek director J.J. Abrams, who has been busy preparing this summer's Super 8, recently confirmed to Fox News that the script for Star Trek 2 was still in development.
We are working hard on that script and we're, you know, finger’s crossed, we are going to be able to make an announcement on that soon.
While the script has had a long road towards its completion (Orci originally revealed that the sequel script could be finished in "eight months" back in October of 2009), Orci told Trek Web what exactly is taking so long.
