More TRANSFORMERS “Damn That’s Cool” Robot Pictures
Those wacky “Transformers” robots are looking pretty badass lately. The latest pictures of them have been posted on Michael Bay’s official blog here. As before, I find the Optimus Prime robot to be utterly cool, and the Megatron one to be utterly, um, crappy. All the Autobots, in fact, look pretty cool, while the Decepticons really look like not a whole lot of creativity went into them. I mean, damn, most of them just looks like a bunch of metal rods and junk. What’s the deal with that? In any case, “Transformers” opens July 4th.
CRANK 2? Only if Amy Smart Comes Back.
11 May 2007
This is actually old news (the filmmakers behind the 2006 Jason Statham movie “Crank” are talking about making a sequel), but I didn’t see “Crank” until a while ago, and I have to say, Yeah, I’d go for a sequel but ONLY if Amy Smart’s character comes back and, possibly, takes over the lead. I mean, after all, Statham’s character was last seen falling out of an airplane WITHOUT a parachute, so it wouldn’t make sense for him to come back for the sequel. Unless he was playing his character’s evil brother or doppelganger or something equally cliche. Below are some reasons why only Amy Smart is necessary for “Crank 2″.
George Lucas Pooh-Poohs SPIDER-MAN 3. No, Really.
11 May 2007
George Lucas, king of Skywalker Ranch and all that falls onto its property, recently called Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 3″ a “a silly movie”, and that “there just isn’t much there. Once you take it all apart, there’s not much story, is there?” Well, George, it’s no “Star Wars: Episode 1″, “2″, or “3″, that’s for sure. I mean, shit, George, give us a break. Venom and the Sandman in CGI form emoted better than your direction of Natalie Portman (I still cringe at her Godawful performance) and Hayden Christensen. I mean, hell, George, if not for the fact that you casted really good actors like Ewan McGregor, Christopher Lee, et al, your “Star Wars” prequels wouldn’t even rise to the level of a middle school play, acting-wise. But maybe I’m just still pissed at that whole Jar Jar Binks debacle. Holy Mother of God what were you thinking there George?
John Woo and Chow Yun Fat: Still BFF?
11 May 2007
They came up together. They became internationally famous together. And they even came to Hollywood (and left) together. So can the three-decade long friendship of Hong Kong director John Woo and Hong Kong actor Chow Yun Fat survived the battle that is “The Battle of Red Cliff”, even after Fat pulled out of the movie at the last minute, leaving his best bud hanging over a (ahem) cliff? According to Woo: Yes. Says Woo at a press conference for “Red Cliff” about Fat: “…he’s still one of the actors I admire the most, and my good friend.” Of course it probably helps that having either Chow Yun Fat or Tony Leung as the star of “Battle of Red Cliff” probably isn’t going to do all that much to the movie’s box office; when was the last time Fat opened a movie? Exactly.
Amy Winehouse is NOT Going to be a Bond Girl
11 May 2007
Heavily tattooed British songstress chick Amy Winehouse is shooting down rumors that she’s going to be in the next Daniel Craig James Bond movie as was rumored a few days ago. Winehouse said this to MTV: “I’m just not an actress… It can’t be true.” Hey, that’s never stopped Jessica Alba or Eva Mendes. But I digress. Although she will probably not be IN the movie (you gotta respect a woman who recognizes her own limitations), Winehouse is open to contributing to the film’s soundtrack. You can check out Winehouse and gawk at her tattoos when she appears at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards hosted by Sarah Silverman on June 3rd.
Ethan Hawke to Star in Aussie Vampire Flick DAYBREAKERS
10 May 2007
I will first admit that I was somewhat let down (nay, I was very disappointed) by the cliche and very poorly written nature of Australian filmmakers Spierig Brothers’ debut film, the zombie/alien/sci-fi/horror film “Undead”. I went into it expecting a great movie and got a film filled to the brim with some of the most annoying characters I’ve ever encountered in my life. So I’m hoping for something better, or at the very least, less annoying characters in the Brothers’ follow-up, the vampire flick “Daybreakers”. To start things off, they’ve landed a fantastic and credible actor in Ethan Hawke, says The Hollywood Reporter. With Hawke onboard, the Brothers should be able to get more good actors, so maybe we’ll be spared the terrible over-acting that was so damaging to “Undead”.
Matt Stone and Trey Parker To Do G-Rated “Giant Monsters Attack Japan!”
10 May 2007
Not content to rot the minds of impressionable children and gullible adults such as myself, Matt Stone and Trey Parker will now be attacking Japan in “Giant Monsters Attack Japan!” (Gee, I wonder what the movie will be about?) Via the L.A. Times, apparently “Giant Monsters Attack Japan!” (I frakkin love that title!) will be the boys’ first G-rated anything, and will be based on the script by J.F. Lawton, who is apparently obsessed with Japan. (Check out his 1996 movie “The Hunted” with Christopher Lambert, about ninjas and Samurais dueling in modern times. It’s great stuff.)
Tim Roth is The Abomination in THE INCREDIBLE HULK
10 May 2007
Variety reports that Tim Roth has joined the cast of Louis Leterrier’s “The Incredible Hulk” alongside star Ed Norton (Bruce Banner) and Liv Tyler (Betty Ross). Blonsky is a KGB agent who deliberately exposes himself to the gamma rays that caused Bruce Banner to morph into the Hulk. Blonsky has upped the dosage, making him larger and stronger than the Hulk, but unable to change back to human form. He blames Banner for his problem, and makes his best efforts to destroy the Hulk. Stupid Russkie.
Three More TERMINATOR Sequels are Coming
10 May 2007
Not tired of the “Terminator” movies yet? Yeah, me, either. Mario Kassar and Andy Vajna, the men behind the franchise, have taken the first steps to keeping the franchise alive — they’ve sold it. Now the new owners, The Halcyon Company, have fast-tracked the sequels, with “Terminator 4″ scheduled for Summer 2009. If you’ve seen “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”, you know that the movie left off with a 20-something John Connor in a nuclear bomb bunker as Skynet launched the nukes. I hope they continue from that point on, and doesn’t do something stupid like jump forward or backwards in time. I’m tired of prologues and epilogues; I just want to see this franchise CONTINUE.
Robert Rodriguez to Direct a Live-Action JETSONS Movie?
9 May 2007
This is certainly odd, and unexpected news. Apparently Robert Rodriguez, he of the violent crime movies and shoot’em ups, is in talks to direct a live-action big screen version of the “Jetsons” cartoon. Then again, thinking about Rodriguez’s filmography, maybe this isn’t such an odd idea, after all. He has done kid movies before, including his own creation, the “Spy Kids” films, so yeah, this wouldn’t be such a hard thing for Rodriguez to do. He could just go wacky wacky with it the way he did the “Spy Kids” movies. I don’t know about the talking dog, though. Anyways, Rodriguez’s last movie, “Grindhouse”, got massacred at the box office. Hopefully this one will do better.
RESIDENT EVIL EXTINCTION Gets a Poster
9 May 2007
Via Joblo.com, the first poster for “Resident Evil: Extinction”, the only videogame-to-movie adaptation that was successful enough to spawn two sequels (not a small feat by any means if you know the history of videogame-to-movie adaptations) has hit the web. The battle against zombies and the Umbrella Corporation re-commences for Alice (Milla Jovovich) in the deserts of Nevada (formerly Las Vegas). Or I assume the movie will still have zombies in it, because frankly, that whole Umbrella Corporation plot is getting kinda dull, and I’m not sure if I want to see another movie based around it. But zombies I can dig. Have I mention that I love me some zombies?
Michael Moore’s SICKO Gets a June 29 Release Date
9 May 2007
The rotund king of mischief Michael Moore’s latest documentary “Sicko” has been scheduled for a June 29th release by the Weinstein’s Miramax mini-studio, says Variety. “Sicko” won’t be set loose on the American populace until its Cannes debut; if you’ll recall, Cannes fell madly in love and delivered one heck of a roll in the hay for Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11″. The Miramax boys are hoping for a similar reception to “Sicko”, which takes a (of course) critical look at the American healthcare system. Basically, it sucks, and um, well, it sucks real bad.
More Images from Andrew Goth’s GALLOWWALKER
9 May 2007
More images from Andrew Goth’s Zombie/Spaghetti Western/Action movie “Gallowwalker” via Twitchfilm. I would like to say that seeing these images give me confidence that this will be a really good movie, or at least not a terrible one. But, um, I can’t say that. I mean, the pictures just don’t look that good. What is with the bleeding kids and freaky link looking creatures? I still haven’t seen a real good view of Wesley Snipes as the gunman, and I’m curious to see how he compares to those sketch drawings I saw of Chow Yun Fat in the same role. Still, hope springs eternal. Check out some “Gallowwalker” images below.
Sony Wants 3 More Sequels for Spider-Man
8 May 2007
This falls under the category of, “Well, DUH!” Of course Sony wants to do three more “Spider-Man” sequels after the $300-plus box office take that “Spider-Man 3″ has already webbed up in just a few weeks of release, which includes just 3 days in the States. By the end of this week, “Spider-Man 3″ will have easily recouped its mammoth $200-plus production budget, and will be in the black. Or should we say, in the green. But the real question is: Will Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi be back for those three more movies? I somehow doubt it. Raimi seems to have done all that he wants with the franchise, and Maguire looks so bored with the role in the last movie. You’ll notice that I didn’t wonder if Kirsten Dunst will be back. Ahem.
The DAY OF THE DEAD Remake Is Not So Good
8 May 2007
The verdict is in: Hollywood needs to stop remaking classic horror films. Oh wait, nevermind. That horse got out of the barn a looooong time ago, and it’s not gonna come back in as long as Hollywood can make a dime or two off it without having to really work hard at it. Such is the zombie movie “Day of the Dead”, a supposedly remake of George Romero’s 1980s movie of the same name, that will surely be sold similar to Zach Snyder’s 2004 remake of Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead”. But according to a reviewer at AICN, this “Day of the Dead” sucks monkey balls. HARD.
Some Official IRON MAN Pictures
8 May 2007
The groovy guys over at Superhero Hype has gotten their grubby little hands (or maybe they’re immaculately cleaned hands — hey, I don’t know these guys, you know) on two brand new, and high-res pictures of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark from the “Iron Man” movie, and that Iron Man armor design again. They both look pretty good, especially Downey Jr., who really seems to be coming across as a great Tony Stark. I have to say, I was kind of concerned with the casting, but Downey really seems to have come through in the role. Now if only someone will tell me who Iron Man will be fighting in the movie…
Julie Benz is Rambo’s Love Interest in JOHN RAMBO aka RAMBO 4
7 May 2007
Variety reports that Julie Benz, formerly of “Angel” (she played the hot but deadly vampire Darla), has landed the female lead (aka the love interest) in the latest Rambo movie, to be called, simply, “John Rambo”. I don’t know if that’s the official name, and if they’ve officially dumped the original “Rambo IV: Pearl of the Cobra” title. I actually would prefer the “Pearl of the Cobra” title, as it sounds better than, you know, “John Rambo”, which is kinda really. But I digress. The fourth Rambo movie has Sylvester Stallone coming out of retirement (again) to battle Burmese pirates that have kidnapped Christian missionaries. Stupid missionaries.
So How Bad is Lucy Liu’s RISE: BLOOD HUNTER?
7 May 2007
well, this is certainly disappointing, but the first review of Lucy Liu’s “Rise: Blood Hunter” is not a very good one. In fact, it’s pretty abysmal. IGN recently saw the film at the Tribeca Film Festival and calls it, “a blood-red affair thrown together in a dash, a little number that will ultimately get the same kind of treatment from audiences as it did from those who made it: something you might cue up in the DVD player on a whim and forget just as easily.” And that’s the good part! Basically, they give it 2 stars out of 5, which is not a recommendation if you know your math. You can read the rest of the review here. It ain’t pretty, but unfortunately, after all the delays and the copycat poster, I sorta knew it would suck. Bad.
Because You Demanded it: “Wall Street 2 – Money Never Sleeps”
7 May 2007
Via MovieHole, here’s news that the Powers That Be have decided the world needs to see Wall Street raider Gordon Gecko again, and they’ve greenlit a sequel to Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street”, to be called “Money Never Sleeps”. The culprit is producer Edward Pressman, who was so keen to squeeze money out of the body of Brandon Lee that he made 3 crappy sequels to “The Crow”, but instead of doing something different, he made the same identical movie 3 extra times. Seriously, Edward, grow some balls and buy an original script, man. Anyways, Michael Douglas is back as Gecko, who will be released from prison, but Charlie Sheen won’t be back as Bud Fox, thank Goodness. I don’t need to see that half-tard in the movies anymore; let’s keep him confined to TV sitcom hell where he belongs.
SPIDER-MAN 3 Pulls in $148 million over the Weekend
7 May 2007
The rich gets richer, and having seen “Spider-Man 3″ just recently, I can say it deserves it. Sure, the story wasn’t up to snuff (too much crap involving Peter Parker and Mary Jane — seriously, those two need to settle this love junk once and for all), but the special effects and action was definitely top notch stuff. And apparently everyone thought so, too, because “Spider-Man 3″ pulled in a box office shattering $148 million in its first three days. Combine this domestic take with its $227 million overseas take, and the web slinger is rolling in the dough already, easily justifying its estimated $258 million dollar budget. Word is the cast and crew won’t be back for a fourth, but don’t tell the studio that!
