"Pacific Rim," "Thor: The Dark World" and "Luther" star Idris Elba is the latest name rumored to be in talks to join the cast of Universal's "Jurassic World".

Josh Brolin is in negotiations and Bryce Dallas Howard is already set to star in this Colin Trevorrow-directed fourth entry in the "Jurassic Park" franchise.

A source for Jurassic World Movie mentioned Elba's name, whilst at the same time a casting notice seeking actors and crew in Louisiana (see here) includes Elba's name along with the already talked about cast members like Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins in a cast list.

The casting notice includes a press release in which Elba's name is mentioned again. Yet one catch is the filming is to take place around the same time Elba is committed to Cary Fukunaga's "Beasts of No Nation". It's a wait and see regarding how this pans out.

For Elba fans,...

Visionary director Guillermo del Toro has finally made it to the front lines of the Hollywood studio system with Pacific Rim, his largest-looking and definitely most expensive film to date. Pacific Rim is perhaps the perfect summer blockbuster, engaging the audiences with a film that’s all about massive scale and scope, yet never forgetting about what counts the most — the characters. It is one of the largest and most destructive popcorn flicks that I’ve ever seen, yet it remains grounded thanks to layered characters and an actual story that’s full of emotion and heart.

In the near future, our world is invaded by giant sea creatures called Kaijus. These creatures are massive, knocking over buildings with the sweep of a leg. The human race is struggling with the battle, but have quickly initiated something called the Jaeger program, which consists of large human-piloted robots that’ll stand toe-to-toe with the Kaijus.

I find Guillermo del Toro an incredibly imaginative visualist and energetic storyteller but his movies tend to be overly stuffed with too many elements to crowd the story (Hellboy II) or too many visual and nowhere near enough story (Pacific Rim). I found the latter film incredibly showy, loud, and disappointingly predictable and dull. The worldbuilding is nearly nonexistent, the characters half-baked, and the Kaiju underwhelming.

Back in my Weekly World News days, Addie Blaustein would create a Kaiju and I’d be challenged to write a piece about whatever she conjured up so I know a little something about the Japanese genre and its history. The creatures del Toro and his effects team offer up are large, loud, and messy. But they lack differentiation. Oddly, the Toho monsters had character and a different approach to their attacks. The Kaiju, levels 1-5 here, emerge from the water, attack a city and roar a lot.

Warner Bros. announced that we’ll see a Pacific Rim Blu-ray / DVD release in October. Here’s a look at the official cover art and a list of bonus features:

“Monsters and robots go head to head when the action-packed spectacle “Pacific Rim” from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures arrives onto Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD on October 15 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Directed by Oscar® nominee (Best Writing, Original Screenplay, “Pan’s Labyrinth,” 2006) Guillermo del Toro, “Pacific Rim” follows a team of unlikely fighters who unite for a final attempt to save humanity from terrifying monsters that emerged from the sea.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, “Pacific Rim” is directed by Guillermo del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth”) from a screenplay by Travis Beacham and del Toro. The film stars Charlie Hunnam (TV’s “Sons of Anarchy), Idris Elba (“Thor”), Rinko Kikuchi...

Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim was one of the favorite smashes of the summer, and it will no doubt be one of those movies that would really make your home theater set-up shine. Here we have all the details for the DVD and Blu-ray release of all the Kaiju smashing goodness. I can’t wait to get my copy!

It’s giant dinosaur-like creatures versus giant Transformer-like robots in Pacific Rim.

Guillermo del Toro directs the big science-fiction movie, building on his two bigger-budget films Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army. Pacific Rim is his biggest movie yet, in visual effects as well as characters.

The movie stars Charlie Hunnam (TV’s Sons of Anarchy) as Raleigh Becket, one of the best pilots of massive robots known as Jaegers. The robots were developed to combat an influx of giant creatures that have been rising from the sea and pummeling humans on land. After his brother and fellow pilot is killed, Raleigh turns away from the Jaeger program.

However, as attacks from the Kaiju monsters get worse, Raleigh is recruited once again by the Jaeger pilot leaders (Idris Elba, Prometheus) and...

Idris Elba goes from maverick cop Luther to commander in Guillermo del Toro's new film Pacific Rim. The actor is now a household name in the UK and Us thanks to his multiple roles in hits such as Ultraviolet and The Wire.

Elba's characters have a hit-first, ask-questions-later policy, but it's his wicked qualities that have kept fans hooked. Here, Digital Spy gives you ten things you might not have known about the Thor actor.

1. Idrissa Akuna Elba was born on September 6, 1972 in Hackney, London. His father Winston is from Sierra Leone and his mother Eve is from Ghana - they married in West Africa before moving to London.

2. After helping his uncle out at his wedding DJ business, Elba set up his own DJ company with his friends. This was the start of his love of music as he won a place at the National Youth Music Theatre...

The full Saturday, July 20th schedule for Comic-Con has been officially announced and includes panels for Bates Motel, Godzilla, True Blood, and much more. Continue reading for a list of Saturday’s horror events:

A&E Bates Motel: “The Bates Motel is open for business in San Diego! Executive producers Carlton Cuse (Lost) and Kerry Ehrin (Friday Night Lights) will release new footage from the highly acclaimed A&E drama series Bates Motel exclusively for Comic Con attendees. The executive producers will be joined by the cast, including Academy Award nominee Vera Farmiga (Norma Bates), Freddie Highmore (Norman Bates), Max Thieriot (Dylan), Olivia Cooke (Emma), and Nestor Carbonell (Sheriff Alex Romero) to discuss the show’s unique backstory and creation. Fans will get an opportunity to hear more about season 2, debuting in 2014 on A&E, and will have a chance to ask the cast and creators questions during a Q&A.

Comic-Con is releasing its daily schedules over this long holiday weekend and the schedule for Saturday, July 20 has just come out. The day features panels on TV favorites like How I Met Your Mother (at the Con for the first time!), True Blood, and The Vampire Diaries as well as upcoming shows like Dracula and The Originals, and much more. Many of the major film panels are Saturday, including a look at the upcoming Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the Marvel panel, which will feature the Thor and Captain America sequels, and WB and Legendary’s panel featuring Godzilla, and Gravity.

There's always one day during the Sdcc when you just shake your head, laugh, and say, "This schedule is ridiculous." Saturday, July 20th, is shaping up to be that day this year.

Horror fans will have a lot of choices to make as the "Bates Motel" panel battles the one-two punch of Godzilla and Seventh Son. Later in the day you'll be faced with choosing to learn more about "True Blood," Telltale's The Walking Dead video game, or "Being Human." Right now 20th Century Fox's presentation that runs at the same time remains "To Be Announced," but once details are revealed, we'll provide an update.

Other panels vying for your attention throughout the day are "The Originals," "Grimm," I, Frankenstein teamed with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (that combination should make for some interesting audience reactions), a look at gameplay from Dead Rising 3 on the Xbox One, more games, comics,...

The first trailer for Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's animated DC comics film Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is now available for you to watch. The story is based on Geoff Johns' graphic novel Flashpoint, and the story centers on the Flash who wakes up devoid of his super powers. It looks like it could be a decent movie. I'm sure we'll get a chance to check it out at Comic-Con this year.

When time travel allows a past wrong to be righted for Flash and his family, the event’s temporal ripples prove disastrous, creating a fractured, alternate reality where the Justice League never formed, and even Superman is nowhere to be found. Amidst a new world being ravaged by a fierce war between Wonder Woman’s Amazons and Aquaman’s Atlanteans, Flash must team with a grittier, more violent Batman and government agent Cyborg to restore the continuity of Flash’s original timeline.

If True Blood Season Five could be easily summed up – and really, it can’t – the theme was about the consequences of one’s actions. Unlike the previous season, this one seemed determined to tidy things up and thin out the herd a bit. During the course of the season, Alan Ball let it be known this would be his final outing as showrunner and clearly, he was determined to be the one to say farewell to a few friends and foes. The season therefore zipped along at a wild, frenetic pace that saw more fangs, blood, and naked bodies than before.

Since Charlaine Harris’ novels began being adapted for HBO, the supporting cast has grown and interestingly, they’re the ones who appear to be the most interesting, getting the deepest development. The triangle of protagonist/antagonist/lover of Sookie, Bill, and Eric sees them getting the least depth...

This is the comic book event that either propelled DC Comics towards the New 52 paradigm or sent the company spinning off the rails, alienating the very core audience they sought to retain. Now it is being adapted into animated form from Warner Home Entertainment in July. Some speculate this direct-to-video movie will transition the animated heroes towards New 52 incarnations but that has not been confirmed.

It may only be in the early stages of development, and Disney may currently be referring to it as The Beast. But we’re calling it right now: any new take on the classic fairy tale (brought to the screen in Oscar-winning animated form in 1991) must surely be called Re-Beauty And The Beast. Because reboot…. Re-beauty? Oh, please yerselves.The Mouse House certainly is, raiding its back catalogue once more for another title it can turn into a live-action story in the hopes of making a mint a la Alice In Wonderland and, if its early figures are any guide, Oz The Great And Powerful, as well as other upcoming fairytales like Maleficent.Joe Ahearne, a veteran of writing or directing This Life, Doctor Who, Apparitions and, one of this writer’s favourite vampire tweaks, Ultraviolet, has been tasked with finding a new way into the Beauty story with,...

Danny Boyle’s visually inclined film “Trance” is a crime drama starring Rosario Dawson and James McAvoy, as well as a menacing Vincent Cassel. This is apparently Boyle’s first film where a woman is his main lead, and he calls it an “emotionally charged” noir film. Plus, it’ll probably look really, really cool with a great soundtrack. Get your first official looks at the film below, including a behind-the-scenes shot with the Boylester himself doing what he does. The film is a remake of a 2001 British movie of the same name by writer/director Joe Ahearne. That one co-starred Susannah Harker of “Ultraviolet” fame. A fine art auctioneer mixed up with a gang joins forces with a hypnotherapist to recover a lost painting. As boundaries between desire, reality and hypnotic suggestion begin to blur the stakes rise faster than anyone could have anticipated. “Trance” stars James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson,...

All the fun, sparkle, sweat and back-stabbing of Broadway are explored in NBC’s musical TV show Smash.

The series stars Katharine McPhee (The House Bunny) as the innocent ingenue Karen Cartwright, whose talent makes her a competitor for the lead role in a new Broadway musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. She’s up against the more experience Ivy Lynn (Megan Hilty, Bitter Feast), who doesn’t mind sleeping with the director (Jack Davenport, Pirates of the Caribbean movies) to secure what she wants.

Debra Messing (TV’s Will & Grace) also stars as the renowned lyricist Julia Houston and Angelica Huston (The Big Year) as Eileen Rand, a woman out to prove that she can produce a successful show on her own.

The first season also features real-life Broadway legend Bernadette Peters (TV’s Ugly Betty) as Ivy’s spotlight-grabbing mother,...

Dir.

A character as bizarre and dark as the Ghost Rider is really only a match for one director, or should I say one pair of directors. Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, known mostly for their work on Crank and its equally awesome sequel, head up the dark re-imaging/sequel of Ghost Rider titled Spirit of Vengeance. This time around Nic Cage goes fully bananas and Idris Elba tags along for the ride. It’s horribly awesome and brilliantly dumb, which makes about as much sense as the actual film itself.

Johnny Blaze (Nic Cage) is on the run from himself. He’s learning to keep the rider locked up inside, which means no flaming skull for him and no death for others. He’s relocated in a part of the world that consists of a lot of rocks and very little authority. Hoping to rid himself of this wretched curse...

The Ghost Rider is back. Nicolas Cage (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) donned his blazing skull (okay, not really, that’s visual effects) for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.

In the 2011 fantasy movie, Cage’s Johnny Blaze is hiding out in a remote part of Eastern Europe, until a secret sect of a church recruits him to save a young boy from the devil. At first reluctant to use the power of the Ghost Rider again, Johnny finally agrees in the hopes of also ridding himself of the curse.

Ciaran Hinds (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), Idris Elba (Takers) and Anthony Head (TV’s Merlin) also star in the action film, which was directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the team behind Gamer.

Based on the Marvel Comic, this second Ghost Rider wasn’t nearly as...
