My thoughts and stuff…
COWBOYS & ALIENS has all the workings to be one of the coolest films we have seen in quite awhile. The title alone proves that the film has it all, and Daniel Craig’s involvement only sweetens the deal even further.
Now we have the first poster for the film, which shows that they are taking this film exactly in the direction most of us want it to go. Hit the break to see the full poster. Continue reading “COWBOYS & ALIENS gets a poster”
If you would have told me that John Cusack could pull off Edgar Allen Poe, I never in a million of years would have believed you. It’s hard to imagine him in a role of the sort, and it just doesn’t seem like a great fit. But, according to this photo, I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Last week we got a little bit of information about the sequel to SILENT HILL, including that it would be directed and written by Michael J. Bassett (SOLOMON KANE). Now that the word is out, the floodgates have opened up about the project. This time we have word from Bassett himself, giving us some insight into the film.

Okay, I’ve admitted it many times before – I am not a fan of Channing Tatum. That being said, there are certain roles that do fit him really well, they just aren’t the route he usually takes. Now he is in negotiations to take up a lead role in the 21 JUMP STREET film adaptation, which sounds like a really good choice for him.
Currently, we are unsure of the role what Tatum would be playing, but we are led to believe that he would be taking up the role of Schmidt. Schmidt is one of the undercover guys who goes to the high school due to how young he looks. Continue reading “Channing Tatum in negotiations for 21 JUMP STREET lead”
Finally it seems that Patrick Fugit might have a chance to have the career he deserves; he should have had this after he proved his talent in 2000’s ALMOST FAMOUS. Fugit has been cast alongside Elle Fanning in Cameron Crowe’s much anticipated next film, WE BOUGHT A ZOO. This will be Crowe’s first film since 2005’s oft forgotten classic, ELIZABETHTOWN. The cast for the film is quickly shaping up into something very special, as Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson are taking up the lead roles. The reunion of Fugit along with all his other co-stars is certainly something of marvel. Continue reading “Cameron Crowe's WE BOUGHT A ZOO gets Patrick Fugit and Elle Fanning”
Whenever you try to think of an authority on 3D technology, it isn’t much of a jump to end up on James Cameron. Despite your feelings about AVATAR, it was a groundbreaking film with revolutionary 3D. The next logical step will certainly have to be 3D without the glasses, something Cameron believes will be obtained, but not till we wait a little bit. Years even.
Cameron feels that 3D without glasses is still about eight to ten years away from happening, a time frame that seems somewhat justifiable. Look how long it took us to achieve the kind of 3D we have now accomplished. It took decades. The kind of 3D we’ve come to expect is nothing like the 3D that we remember from the eighties. Continue reading “3D without glasses a futuristic possibility?”
It seems like it’s been a while since we’ve had a Bond movie, a lot longer than a Bond fanatic like myself can really handle. Unfortunately, with MGM’s financial woes as of late, 007’s future has seemed not so bright. With the news that MGM has worked out THE HOBBIT, it seems they are doing everything they can to get franchise number 2 back on track.
Now it seems they have, MGM has BOND 23 slated for a 2012 release. Continue reading “MGM wants Bond back by 2012”
An American take on AKIRA has been in the works for a very long time now, and in several different incarnations, none of which have yet panned out. It seems that the most recent movement on the project might just be the one that does come to fruition. This is even further propelled by the news that we are getting our first bit of (what seem to be) legitimate casting rumors on the project.
Reportedly, Zac Efron is in talks to take up the lead role in the film, which will be directed by The Hughes Brothers (MENACE II SOCIETY, BOOK OF ELI). The casting of Efron seems to show that the project is trying to be a blockbuster, and have some marquee cache for the American moviegoing public, who may not be very familiar with the source material, but are fans of Efron. Continue reading “Zac Efron set to lead American AKIRA remake?”
SILENT HILL was a very valiant effort in the never-ending fight to make a genuinely good video game movie. In fact, even though I didn’t really care for the movie much at all it might be one of the better video game films to be made. Now, four years after the first film, we are finally seeing some momentum on a sequel.
Michael J. Bassett, director of SOLOMON KANE, will be be directing the sequel, which will be known as SILENT HILL: REVELATIONS. As to be expected, the new film is set to be in 3D. Continue reading “SILENT HILL 2 is happening with Michael J. Basset set to direct”
The news of another new TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE film came out a while back, when Twisted Pictures (the sickos behind the SAW franchise) picked up the rights to the series. It wasn’t too long before Twisted Pictures started setting up their most advanced trap yet, a 3D TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE film. This extremely advanced engineering marvel of death is still chugging along, but now with new writers.
Adam Marcus and Debra Sullivan are working on their version of the script, which is said to take place 35 years after the original film. In fact, they are wanting it to pick up immediately after the end of the original film, then flash forward into present day. The film isn’t supposed to have anything to do with the remakes of a couple years ago, thankfully. Continue reading “New TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE gets new writers”
