Recently, an advanced screening event for Kamen Rider W RETURNS was held in Japan. And after the said event, many people who claimed to have seen the Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel v-cinema, posted various spoilers regarding the movie.
Spoilers Alert! Read at your own risk!
According to one poster, Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel is better compared to Kamen Rider Chou Den-O Trilogy: Episode Red in terms of executing the love story aspect of their respective films. The film has a lot of action scenes and it is not inferior to the movies that were released in cinemas in any kind of way, and it is really good.
In Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel, Terui never calls Akiko, Akiko which cause her to complain since Terui calls every character in their first name except hers. It is also revealed that the identity of the Commander Dopant is being played by Minoru Tanaka (Ultraman Mebius). As for Kamen Rider W, he barely showed up in the film.
Here is the sequence on how Terui ended up being Kamen Rider Accel Booster. Akiko is falling down, and Terui has badly injured his leg. He won't get there in time and so, Aoi grabs the Commander Dopant and takes the Gaia Memory Enhancing Adapter, and throws it to Terui. Terui transforms and flies over to Akiko. As for Jinno, he is still alive and has some action scenes that were great. There was a scene about the man and wife which felt awkward to one poster.
In the said event, Kirihiko's actor voiced Futo-kun in the talkshow and it was funny. In the talk show, they talked about Kamen Rider Eternal's V-Cinema theme song called, cod-E ～The Code of E～ (cod-E ～Eの暗号～) by SOPHIA. During the talk show, Koichi Sakamoto showed up and said that he wants to continue on doing Kamen Rider W. Kamen Rider Joker V-Cinema anyone?
Also, the first ten minutes of Kamen Rider Eternal's V-Cinema was played in the event. In one scene, Kyosui, best known as the Luna Dopant back in Kamen Rider W FOREVER sees the dead Reika aka Heat Dopant dead and says, "She looks good." Giving us a possibility that he is once straight.

A current rumor surfaces saying that Kamen Rider 40th Anniversary movie, OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS and Super Sentai 35th Anniversary movie, Gokaiger - Goseiger - Super Sentai: 199 Hero Great Battle seems to be interconnected to each other. How? Read on:
Someone on 2ch said that Let's Go Kamen Rider is somewhat related to this movie and one of the movie's monsters escapes to the Super Sentai world. That would explain why Naoya Makoto, who original plays Tsuyoshi Kaijo aka AkaRanger, is listed in Let's Go Kamen Rider. It is also reported that the Goseigers will reprise their roles in the movie.
Additionally, here's another info regarding Gokaiger - Goseiger - Super Sentai: 199 Hero Great Battle from Hyper Hobby magazine:
"The 5 Goseigers, with their powers, appears before the Gokaigers. Black Cross revives from hell in order to take revenge on the Super Sentai teams. 199 Heroes will appear in this Legend War. However, 182 Sentai Heroes + the 5 Gokaigers does not equate to 199. Who could the remaining heroes be!?"Meanwhile, there have been reports that the first actual trailer for OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS is seen during the Kamen Rider W RETURNS event and the theme song, Let's Go RiderKick 2011 by Kamen Rider GIRLS was played.
The trailer also shows Hiroshi Miyauchi yelling "V3" and a shouting Hiroshi Fujioka. There's also a scene showing Shotaro and Philip transforming into Kamen Rider W. Kamen Rider OOO TaMaShii combo is shown and is preparing the TaMaShii Bomber. The Shocker Greeed seems to appear.

The Kamen Rider 40th Anniversary movie, Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS, still haven't premiered, and just recently, we got some information and rumors regarding the 2011-2012 Kamen Rider series. But as of now, it still don't have any rumored name.
The rumors came from the 2ch poster Yobuko, who have been giving us solid Kamen Rider OOO rumors in the past few weeks. Please do take rumors with a grain of salt.
- This Kamen Rider seems to be loosely based on "heroes or great men" around the world, like Hattori Hanzo, Billy The Kid, King Arthur, Bruce Lee and Tarzan. The design is somewhat similar to Topgunder (a villain from Chouriki Metalder).
- These names are tentative, but the base form is "Kung-Fu". His other forms are described as "Gunman", "Knight", "Shinobi" and "Wild".
- Each form has 3 different states. The states are different from each other and the appearance and weapons change. For example: Pistol -> Dual Wield -> Rifle or Nunchuk -> Tonfa -> Lance.
- He has partners that are monsters, Dragon is a dragon. Arthur is a rock, Kid is a fox and Hanzo is a lizard. Tarzan is still a silhouette.
- The transformation item is called "Monster Egg". They are transparent eggs where you can see the monster inside. These monsters can be created synthetically. And according to rumors, there will probably be over 100 eggs!
- The enemies are called "Mazoku", basically demonic beings, inhabitants of hell etc.
- A Mazoku will show up in Kamen Rider OOO's summer movie. OOO will be using TakaJaTar (Taka, Kujaku, Cheetah) then the Mazoku shows up. When they are already fighting, the new Kamen Rider enters.

A new movie poster for the upcoming Kamen Rider 40th Anniversary movie, OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS had surfaced the internet. The poster had a new layout which includes all the Riders and some surprising revelations!The main attraction of the new Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS poster is Kamen Rider OOO TaMaShii Combo, New Den-O with MomotaKen, and Kamen Rider #1 and #2 rider kicking. The Shocker Core Medal is also seen.
On the right side you'll see four non-Kamen Rider characters. They are Android Kikaider, Kikaider 01, Inazuman and Kaiketsu Zubat. All are classic and prominent works of the late Shotaro Ishinomori.On the other hand, the cast lists states that Renn Kiriyama and Masaki Suda will reprise their roles as Shotaro Hidari and Philip of Kamen Rider W. Aside from that, Goro Naya, the voice of the original Shocker Great Leader returns to reprise his role. Isao Sasaki will be in this movie as well, but currently his role is unknown. Hidekatsu Shibata is back to voice his famous role, General Shadow, from Kamen Rider Stronger. Shozo Iizuka will be back to voice Darom and Seizou Katou will voice General Jark.
According to our source, the new poster states that there will be a total 50 Kamen Riders that will show up in Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS. Also, there are several pictures of the Showa Riders fighting in the execution square, but none of Heisei Riders, aside from Kamen Rider OOO and NEW Den-O. This meant that only the Showa Kamen Riders will show up to rescue them.
On a side-note, OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS is not only in celebration of Kamen Rider's 40th Anniversary but also TOEI's 60th Anniversary. This might be the reason why Android Kikaider, Kikaider 01, Inazuman and Kaiketsu Zubat will be part of this movie.

SH FiguArts Kamen Rider Birth stands 14cm tall and comes with the BirthBuster, that's transformable into three forms. So far, it's not confirmed if he will come with any of his CLAWs attachments, even just the Drill Arm or Breast Cannon. If not, then it's kinda expected to become an exclusive.

We have reported a rumor a few weeks ago regarding Kamen Rider OOO's movie exclusive combo in the upcoming OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS film this April. It will be called Kamen Rider OOO TaMaShii Combo.
On your right is the full image scan of Kamen Rider OOO TaMaShii Combo. The combo will debut in the upcoming Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS film and will be utilizing the Taka (Hawk), Imagin and Shocker Core Medals.The insignia on the chest of Kamen Rider OOO shows a combination of the Hawk, Momotaros for Imagin (which looks weird, imho) and Shocker logos. So far we still don't know what's the ability of this combo or how the hell Eiji acquires the Imagin and Shocker Core Medals.
Could it be that the Shocker Core Medal represents Kamen Rider #1 and #2 since they became a part of Shocker and want to defect the organization? Only time will tell.
Update: Here's a new image featuring a full body shot of Kamen Rider OOO TaMaShii Combo. The leg part is clearly a recolored version of the Condor legs from the OOO TaJaDoru combo. On the side of it is the image of Kamen Rider New Den-O's new weapon, the Momotaken.
Update 2: The above image of Kamen Rider OOO TaMaShii Combo depicts the form's finisher. The attack is kinda similar to Street Fighter's Ryu's Hadouken or Dragonball Z's Son Goku's Kamehameha. So far, no name is revealed at this point.

Update 2/23: Image of finisher added.
A few weeks ago, we got a few rumors that Kamen Rider OOO's 28th episode will be the Kamen Rider franchise's 1000th episode. It is said that the episode would be a special one and somewhat related to the upcoming OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's go KAMEN RIDERS.
Spoilers Alert! Read at your own risk!
Since all of Kamen Rider OOO episodes are overarching to two episodes, the special will start on Episode 27. Kougami calls out Eiji and Ankh to celebrate the 1000th episode of the Kamen Rider franchise. Together they have to create a Kamen Rider Commemorative Movie, a Rider VS Shocker film. Date will act as the director of the movie.
In the mean time, here are additional Kamen Rider OOO episode summaries:
Episode 24: After Eiji fell in love with Yumi, he’s incapable of defeating the Yummy. However, Date tells Yumi that what she has become isn’t true beauty and she was beautiful without all that make up. Yumi eventually controls her greed of beauty.
Episode 25: Okamura, a boxer, whose nickname is “the Uncrowned King." Before his title match, the bones in his fist fractures. He’s forced to retire. He still wants to continue boxing and this feeling eventually grows into greed. Thus, the Parrot Yummy is created.

After the revelation of Kamen Rider OOO's movie exclusive form, the TaMaShii Combo, here are more new information regarding the upcoming OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS film. This new information revolves around the new type of Greeed the Shocker created.
OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS starts with Kamen Rider OOO fighting the Mole Imagins. When OOO is fighting them, he starts wondering "why aren't they bleeding Medals?" The Mole Imagins then disappears through a 10 year old boy.
Suddenly, the Denliner appears and Kotaro exits. Kotaro takes out his Rider Ticket and goes back to the past in November 11, 1971. But why would a 10 year old boy have memories from 40 years ago?
Eiji and Ankh sneaks aboard the Denliner. They are advised by the Denliner Crew not to leave the train when they get to the past, but Ankh decides to sneak out in order to find all the Core Medals before the other Greeeds woke up, however this causes some serious trouble.
Back in 1971, Shocker found a Medal and used its powers and took over Japan. This resulted to the appearance of the Shocker Greeed (voiced by Hideo Ishikawa). In the original timeline, this monster didn't exist. It is a Greeed created by Shocker by using the O Medal that Ankh accidentally dropped off. It's mainly based of eagles, but there's a snake sticking out of his right shoulder.
After the fight in the past, Eiji and Ankh returns and arrives at their own timeline only to see that Cous Cousier is now a restaurant called "Snack Amigo." By 2011, Shocker is already controlling over the whole world.
In order to repair time, Kotaro and Eiji travel back to 1971 once more. When they arrive in 1971, they meet Nokko, a member of the Rider Squad. They then discovers that Kamen Rider #1 and #2 lost the battle against Shocker and received a brainwashing surgery. They eventually became top soldiers for Shocker, and dubbed as the "Strongest and Most Evil Cyborg Monsters."
OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go KAMEN RIDERS premiers on April 1.

After the confirmation of Kamen Rider OOO TaMaShii combo, here come a new batch of Kamen Rider OOO rumors. This time, it revolves around the truths behind Ankh and Akira Date, and some revelations on Kogami's lead scientist, Dr. Maki.
Spoiler Alert! Read at your own risk!
In the previous Kamen Rider OOO episodes, it is revealed that Date became Kamen Rider Birth for 100 million yen, while Gotou wants to become Birth because of justice. Gotou lost his chance because of his own pride. However, the two of them eventually met and got along well.
Even though Date thinks that Gotou is inexperienced when he's talking about justice, Date still likes him and asked Maki to create another Birth Buster. Date wants to give the Birth Buster to Gotou, so Gotou can become Date's support.
In Kamen Rider OOO Episode 24, the truth behind Akira Date is finally revealed. Up until now, all we know about him is that Kougami was the one who chose him for Kamen Rider Birth. Meanwhile, Dr. Maki might be a strange man, but he's still a genius that made the Candroids and the Birth suit. During March he'll slowly start to change. The keyword is Chiyoko.
It is rumored a couple of weeks ago that Dr. Maki somehow met Chiyoko one day. Dr. Maki thinks that she resembles his dead sister and suddenly falls in love with her.
Bird type Yummies will suddenly appeared. Greeeds has always been able create Yummies with the same attributes as themselves. However, Date and Gotou thinks that Ankh wasn't the one who created that Yummy. Ankh only revived as an arm which was strange even for the other Greeeds. What is the secret behind this revival? Could there be a "real" Ankh hiding somewhere?

Last December 1, Japan witnessed the top grossing live action adaptation of Space Battleship YAMATO starring Takuya Kimura and Kuroki Meisa. And just recently, Skydance Productions is in talks to acquire the live-action film rights to STAR BLAZERS.
Skydance Productions is the company who produced American films such as True Grit and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and will be behind the Jack Ryan reboot and the planned sequel to Top Gun. According to Deadline, the company's head David Ellison and Josh Klein would produce the live action Star Blazers movie if the deal is completed. And Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, Valkyrie, The Wolverine) would write the screenplay.
Star Blazers is an American animated television series adaptation of the Space Battleship YAMATO anime series. The series take place in 2199, with planet Earth facing extinction within one year due to radioactive pollution caused by Gamilons. A message arrives from the Queen of planet Iscandar, providing Earth with plans to build a superluminal engine and the promise that she will give them a machine — the Cosmo DNA — that can neutralize the deadly radioactivity, if Earthlings can reach Iscandar.
Deadline says that, like the original anime, this film would be “space opera, involving alien invasions, the near extinction of the human race, and a last dash journey through space to save the planet.”
