Report: Monica Belluci joins “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”…will join Nicolas Cage in Disney/Bruckheimer flick…

Leave a comment

Although the movie, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” is currently filming which already had two car accidents with stunt men, Monica Belluci has joined the cast of the Disney/Bruckheimer movie that stars Nicolas Cage in the leading role. She plays Balthazar Blake, the long lost love of Nic Cage’s character in the film. The film has been shooting in New York City in the Manhatten area as of late.

Those who are not familiar with her, she is a French film actress from Italy. Most of her films she has starred in are mostly French movies, but now that she’s getting more well known, she’s just starting to star in American films. For you Matrix fans, you probably seen her in the “Matrix: Reloaded” and “The Matrix: Revolutions” which she is well known for in the USA. She was also Magdalene in Mel Gibson’s, “The Passion”.In France, her most popular movie there is a French horror film titled, “Brotherhood of the Wolf”.

With a hot and sexy actress like her, she’ll probably cause more car accidents on set. It’ll be hard to drive and pay attention to her at the same time, right?

Report: Twisted Sister’s “Stay Hungry” getting re-issued for 25th Anniversary…

Leave a comment

I’d say it’s about time this happened! Twisted Sister is getting a re-issue for their smash hit album “Stay Hungry” to celebrate the album’s 25th Anniversary. It will be a 2 disc set, the 1st disc being a reissue with a much improved sound quality and the 2nd disc will include unreleased material during that era.

The re-issue will hit stores June 30th.

More on it here:

This was a pretty important album to me, as I believe this was the first album that got me into music to begin with. I remember playing the vinyl record quite a lot when I was a little kid. I’m definitely going to have to pick up the re-issue. I’m excited for this!

Report: Johnny Depp in negotiations to play Frank Sinatra?

Leave a comment

I guess you can say that Johnny Depp maybe the first choice to play Frank Sinatra in Martin Scorsese’s “Sinatra” biopic. Depp is reportedly in negotiations to play the “I Love New York” singer. Could be just a rumour though.

More on it here:

I hope it is true that Johnny Depp will play Sinatra. This could finally give Johnny Depp an Oscar win for “Best Actor in a leading role”. Depp is a decent choice, actually.

Celebrity news

Thought: I am confused on this whole Carrie Prejean vs. Perez Hilton feud…???

Leave a comment

I’ve read the news that Shanna Moakler resigned as codirector for the state pageant, because I guess she’s on Perez Hilton’s side on this one. Moakler is agreeing that Prejean is a liar and a little brat.

Sarah Palin and more celebrities came out for Prejean’s support.

I’m just confused on this whole thing. I don’t know who’s side I am on. I guess I’m not on either side…still, they’re both acting really dumb and childish, really.

I agree with freedom of speech and people’s honest opinions on whatever they want ’cause this is America. Perez needs to think about that, he needs to realize that people’s opinions doesn’t revolve around him, but I have this feeling that he’s never going to stop his drama against her until she agrees with him. His obsession with Carrie Prejean is beggining to be a little frightening actually.

Cool Video: Homeless woman saves celebrity from the paps!!!

Leave a comment

This video is so cool, I just had to post this. Yep, even the homeless people hate the paparazzi just as much as we all do, this is proof of it!

Idol star, Katherine McPhee, was just strolling the streets of Los Angeles, being followed by an army of photogs of course. More than one person in the photog army is just trying to ask her a bunch of questions and she’s looking a bit nervous.

A black homeless woman came out and defended Katherine, the woman giving the paps all kinds of threats.

My favorite line in this video, “I’ll take your head off, too, you son of a bitch”. LOL! You wonder if Katherine gave this homeless woman some cash and some food as a reward for saving her from the paps?

Report: Stallone’s “Cliffhanger” greenlighted to be remade for the big screen…

1 Comment

It is mostly known for Hollywood, that they remake all the old classics. Now they are going to start remaking the newer films in the 90’s.

StudioCanal has greenlighted to remake the popular and hit Stallone movie, “Cliffhanger”. The film starred Sylvester Stallone, John Lithgow, Michael Rooker and Janine Turner. The film was directed by Renny Harlin.

This is not just a remake, it will be a reboot into a series of films although the original “Cliffhanger” never made any sequels. There were rumours of Stallone doing a sequel to “Cliffhanger”, I believe this is the rumour they were talking about. Turns out a remake is happening instead of a sequel.

Variety Reports:

Geez, I wonder what Sly thinks about this one? Does he like the idea of a remake or does he hate it? I’m sure we’ll hear from him about his thoughts on this soon. Will Sly reprise his role as Gabe Walker? I doubt it, they’re probably gonna go for a younger actor. Maybe a Stallone cameo would be good too.

See the original “Cliffhanger” in it’s entirety here:

“Cliffhanger” is one of my favorite action movies of all times. I hope they do a good job with it.

Top 5 Unmade Music Biopic films that need to get made…

Leave a comment

This post is about bands/artists that I think that deserve their own biopic film…

top 5 here…

1. Led Zeppelin

(I think a Led Zeppelin biopic film would be interesting if made with the right story, picked by the right actors and good film making. It’ll be interesting to see how a Led Zep movie would show how the band got together, I think a Led Zep biopic would work…)

2. Jimi Hendrix

(There was already one made for TV, there are rumours of a Jimi Hendrix biopic in the works for the big screen with Quentin Tarantino slated to direct and Lenny Kravitz set to play Hendrix, haven’t heard any news since then so it could be just a rumour…)

3. Bob Marley

(There is one in the works now, Martin Scorsese used to be attached to direct but pulled out due to scheduling conflicts, I remember. A Marley biopic would be great, bring it on!)

4. Ozzy

(An Ozzy biopic would be awesome, but if Hollywood is going to do one on Ozzy Osbourne, I think it would be appropriate if they focus on his darker life. Not his happy family lifestyle. An Ozzy biopic must focus on the music of Black Sabbath and his solo career. It must focus on his hard times in the past with drugs, alcohol, etc. It would be a powerful biopic if made right. Just leave Ozzy’s family out of it.)

5. Dimebag Darrell of Pantera/Damageplan

(A Dimebag biopic with another actor playing him would be an interesting story. It could be about from his childhood all the way up to his death at the Damageplan concert where he was murdered on stage. I think Hollywood should make a Dimebag biopic film. It would be pretty controversial if they made one and I think it would be a box office success.)
