An interesting behind-the-scenes featurette for Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger has recently emerged online featuring interviews with the cast and crew discussing the history of Captain America’s shield in the comics and how they made it work for the feature film. Even though it is presented by Norton (because it’s an anti-virus software for your PC that “shields” you from viruses!), and has random annoying product placement dispersed throughout, it still is a well-done featurette nonetheless and definitely worth a look. You can watch it after the jump!

Christopher Lee, Guinness book world record holder for acting in more films than any other actor in history (266 to be exact), turns 89 today. Modern film fans know him for playing Saruman in The Lord of the Rings trilogy as well as Count Dooku in the Star Wars prequels, but his film career goes back all the way to the late 1940s. Most will say that his most famous role of all time is that of Count Dracula, whom he first played in Horror of Dracula in 1958 as well as the many Dracula films that followed from Hammer Film Productions.

In honor of his birthday, the Official Christopher Lee website posted a three-part Forbes interview with Lee discussing his web site, new media and how it has affected the entertainment industry. Just listening to the man talk is incredibly intriguing, and even comforting. Hit the jump to watch the entire Forbes interview as well as a vintage movie trailer for Horror of Dracula!

Transformers director Michael Bay has gone on record in the past as saying that 3-D is a gimmick and wouldn’t work for his fast-paced, intense style of film-making. But, as you all know, his latest film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, was in fact shot in 3-D. So what exactly did Paramount Pictures do to convince Bay to use the technology for the film? Apparently, they went to Avatar director and 3-D guru James Cameron for assistance.

On May 18th, The Hollywood Reporter and Paramount hosted an event moderated by THR‘s Jay A. Fernandez where both James Cameron and Michael Bay sat down for the first time to discuss 3-D and its use in the new Transformers film. As of yesterday, a full 16-minutes of the interview has made its way online for all to see, and you can check it out after the jump!

Star Wars has been all over the news lately ever since Star Tours: The Adventures Continue debuted in Orlando, Florida this past weekend. Recently, Kevin Pereira from G4’s Attack of the Show interviewed Disney Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald and film director George Lucas about what we can expect from the newly-updated ride (it hasn’t been updated since its debut in 1987) and, from what it sounds like, this is the Star Wars experience fans do not want to miss out on!

On the more interesting side of things, not only did they discuss the new ride, but Lucas also went into detail about why his 3D releases of the Star Wars films (starting next February with The Phantom Menace) will be much better than other recent releases of post-converted 3D movies, and also discussed the hang-up with the Star Wars live-action TV series and just how far along they actually are with it (the answer may surprise you!). Hit the jump to watch the interview!
