Favreau, Reno and Vaughn in Couples Retreat
I think we could all use some light, warm comedy news today. How about some words on the upcoming movie “Couples Retreat“? It’s a movie centered around four couples who settle into a tropical-island resort for a vacation. While one of the couples is there to work on the marriage, the others fail to realize [...]
Army of Two is up for an adaptation
It’s been a while since we heard something new in the “game-to-movie-adaptation category.” But all good things must come to an end and today I’m here to bring you the latest on the current buzz… Yes, yet another video game will be gracefully and carefully (hopefully…) adapted to the silver screen. Variety reports that Universal [...]
Two more Dexter – comin’ right up!
I really enjoyed the show “Six Feet Under“, at least the first three seasons. The one actor that really stood out was Michael C. Hall. When I first heard about the show “Dexter,” and the fact that Michael was starring as Dexter Morgan, it was obvious this was going to be huge. And now… I [...]
Kutcher to star in Five Killers
Today I think I might be the bearer of bad news. Let me explain. I don’t think Ashton Kutcher is a bad actor. I think he has a remarkable sense of comic timing. That said, there’s some very challenging facts about the character he’s going to play in “Five Killers.”
Sorry, I’m rambling already and I [...]
Howard out, Cheadle in. Howard says what?!
Last week The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Don Cheadle is stepping in to replace Terrence Howard in “Iron Man 2.” In the movie, Howard played Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark’s best friend and future armor-clad hero War Machine. One scene featured Howard looking at a silver suit of armor and saying “Next time,” a line that [...]
Raimi talks Spider-Man sequel
Maybe it’s because I’ve always prefered a volumnious book over a comic, hence I’ve never really connected with superheroes like Batman and Spider-Man. I’m still a bit surprised that the audience embrace (worship…) movies about superheroes. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy some of them but that’s more based on the story and the actors/actresses [...]
Warcraft movie delayed
About fourteen months ago I posted about the upcoming movie adaptation that had been anounced at BlizzCon. The movie is to be live action film, with a yet to be determined level of computer generated environments and effects.
Back then the team annonunced that they were working toward a 2009 release, but now it seems as [...]
No fifth Lethal Weapon
This is turning out to be a real remake/sequel week. And I’m not gonna stop now. Why not dig really deep in the ever growing pile of sequels? Today I’m going to give you the latest (bad) news on the long talked about fifth “Lethal Weapon” movie. Personally I think they should have stopped somewhere [...]
Ridley Scott to direct The Forever War
Whenever I see the name Ridley Scott, I just know it’s news. Let’s face it – the guy IS quality. having a movie blog and not posting about what Mr Scott is planning would be… prosecutable? Today Variety reports that Fox 2000 has acquired rights to Joe Haldeman’s 1974 novel “The Forever War,” and Scott [...]
V remake in development
To be honest, I was kind kind of hoping I wouldn’t have to explain what “V” was all about. No idea? You know, the aliens who invaded earth? The lizards disguised as humans? They ate our hamsters! Very disturbing images to many of my generation… The 1980’s miniseries was huge, worldwide. Sure today, with thousand of [...]
