How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders offers this verbal description of her role , S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill :
[ My costume are ] very sleek , and very leather . And if she had a major power it would be that she is hyperintelligent ; a very nice , fine cleaning lady who has all the answers .
That citation has been edited from the original version , which read like this :
“ … And she has superpowers and is hyperintelligent ; a very nice , fine woman who has all the solution . ”
Of course , the comic version of Maria Hill does n’t have superpowers , and some took this as inadvertent substantiation of the longstanding rumor that the movie ’s Maria Hill was in reality a Skrull infiltrator , perhaps Princess Anelle . Vulture explain the change with the notation , “ This quotation mark has been updated to show that Smulders did n’t mean to advise that her Avengers character has superpowers . ” So , at this head , feel free to interpret this as a harmless clarification for an honorable misstatement , or a vast Marvel / Disney covering - up to protect all important plot points . Honestly , I could go either agency on this one . [ Vulture ]
Sulu and Chekov actors John Cho and Anton Yelchin say they still have n’t received a book , but they ask to do so shortly . Just as long as they do n’t get forced to deal the same scriptlike their predecessors in the roles , I think we ’ll be fine here . [ E ! Online ]

Here ’s a new trailer for the Emile Hirsch starring foreign invasion movie .
Director Chris Gorak explicate what determine these particular extraterrestrial apart :
The electrical energy . How that enemy is seen and not go out and then how we could cinematically separate that account of being chased by something inconspicuous and now you see it , now you do n’t and all the opportunity that present you in terms of storytelling . For illustration , here tonight the alien arrives and turns on all the lights as it approaches , and I think that is something very unique to this sort of genre .
He also explains how his ground as a yield interior designer influenced his approach :
Having designed so many unlike type of films , one thing I ’ve learned through the design unconscious process is account comes first . And design is just part of storytelling . So this is very specific to the exotic encroachment , Moscow , the signs of this danger , so the design - – it ’s form follow social occasion all the clock time for me . What to require is something new and exciting and literal and gritty ; we always talked about it as sort of a war picture , so we ’re set in a great quondam historical scene and metropolis with all this grand architecture and hundreds of age of history . All form of political history and to have the mind of an invasion here , I consider there are so many thing that can diffuse through that you wo n’t even predict .
at last , he explains how the film ’s Moscow setting is another matter that makes it different :
It ’s unique in that , we have our Americans who issue forth here , which is Pisces the Fishes out of water , which is distinctive , but the approximation that they ’re go under in Moscow I think is very alone , and at a certain point in the motion-picture show the Russian survivor – the Russian soldiers – appear , and I think at that point there is a tonic shift that becomes a little more wonderful , a little more fun , and there ’s a lot of fun we have from that point forward in the picture . So we should have a great balance of tone .

Steven Spielberg suggests that he was misquoted recently when he plainly said that he and George Lucas had agreed on the “ music genre ” of the next Indy movie . He had or else meant to say that they had agreed on the film ’s MacGuffin :
No , no , no . It ’s not a unexampled genre at all . [ All the ‘ Indiana Jones ’ moving-picture show ] , they ’re all the same genre . It ’s all the same writing style . It ’s just the MacGuffin that changes . The MacGuffin was the Ark of the Covenent in Raiders , the Holy Grail in The Last campaign , and the skull in The Crystal Skull . That ’s what always changes , and that ’s what we always reckon for .
