Java the Hutt?

Albuquerque’s Satellite Coffee shop stands in for “Java the Hutt ” for the film Fanboys. The article claims it’s a fictional location, but I’m pretty sure I recall hearing about a real coffee place at Skywalker Ranch with the name. Could one of you folks who’s been to the Ranch confirm or deny?

Whatever the case, you can buy a bag of “Java the Hutt” coffee from the Motley Brew Coffee Company. (They also have a “Bean Me Up, Scotty!” blend.)

‘Braveheart’ style? Oh dear…

Kristen Bell talks about Veronica Mars with AOL. Mentions Fanboys:

It’s kind of like ‘Swingers’ for nerds because it’s about these four awesome guys who are ‘Star Wars’-obsessed and they drive cross-country to break into [George] Lucas’ ranch to steal the final episode. It’s so funny. There’s a scene where there’s a full-on war between Trekkies and the ‘Star Wars’ kids, ‘Braveheart’ style. I’ll be shooting on the weekends for six weeks. It’s going to be a big workload, but I wasn’t willing to turn the part down because it was such a great script.

Movie News: Fanboys, Dark Crystal

Fanboys finds a cast – maybe. Folks reportedly in talks are Kristen Bell of Veronica Mars, Jay Baruchel of Undeclared and Just Legal, Chris Marquette of Joan of Arcadia and Sam Huntington, Jimmy Olsen in Superman Returns. Just add in a Kevin Smith or Whedon alumni and it’ll be the geekiest cast ever.

Dark Crystal sequal moves forward, with Genndy Tartakovsky (Clone Wars) in the director’s seat.

Still no Bond girl – or villian. Rachel McAdams (The Notebook, Wedding Crashers) is the latest name bouncing through rumorville.

First pictures from Spider-Man 3; all Kirsten Dunst, all the time. Also, looks like there may be more familiar comic folks showing up in the film. Are we sure Brett Ratner isn’t involved?

Trailer for Scary Movie 4. You know someone wants to see it.
