'Road' Poster, Maguire on 'Spider-Man 4,' Shatner in 'Star Trek' and 'Thor' Casting

Oh, and another new Pixar short

First off, a new short arrives on the heels of the short for Up I posted earlier. This time it's the fifth in a series of Cars shorts directed by John Lasseter called "Unidentified Flying Mater."

Moving on, TrekMovie has the as scripted scene from Star Trek had William Shatner as Captain Kirk been included. Read that here.

Next, Natalie Portman tells MTV Kat Dennings has secured a role in Thor but no word on what her role will be. Idris Elba also recently joined the cast as Heimdall, guardian of the Bifrost Bridge.

Tobey Maguire was quoted by HitFix saying Spider-Man 4 will begin filming in February or March of 2010 and said audiences will be seeing a new side to Peter Parker in the third sequel of the comic book flick.

Finally, Rolling Stone gets top-billing on the latest poster for The Road.

Even though the review on top of 'the road' poster is far too large, I really do like that poster!

It's as if they understand how little this movie will appeal to audiences, so they try to make it look like the movie is "Rolling Stones" starring Viggo Mortensen. It'll probably sell better.

The Road does have issues appealing to wide audiences, or much of audience. If they were a little smarter, they would've inserted a teenage character or something (and kept the rest exactly the same) just to snag fans of Day After Tomorrow who are itching for another disaster movie with teen issues thrown in an apocalyptic future.
Ok that's a stretch.
This could really be a sleeper hit; I think it'll be successful, even if thas to wait for DVD sales.

That alternate ending (even reading) was quite powerful. and it helps explain why spock requested the first mate position a little better.

I love this short , especially the Tractor Tipping Sequence and Mater’s German Doctor Custom and accent just cracked me up.
My favorite short so far was Mater and the Ghost Light – I do hope that the next one Heavy Metal Mater would be better and ……LONGER

Kirk turning up in Star Trek, can someone say Shoehorn?
Though I must admit, I love me some Shatner…
