Report: Robert Zemeckis hints at being interested in bringing Roger Rabbit back to the big screen!!! P-p-plllleeeasssee???

Leave a comment

MTV News caught up with legendary film director, Robert Zemeckis, a man who did such movies like, the three “Back to the Future” films, “Cast Away”, “What Lies Beneath”, and of course, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” his most popular film.

There has been talks of a Roger Rabbit sequel ever since the first one came out but it never happened. Robert gives us a hint that he’s interested in working with Roger Rabbit again with all this new CGI technology, and imagine what you could do with all that while mixing animation with live action?

I really hope a sequel is being made ’cause I loved the first movie, I own it on DVD in my movie collection. I remember seeing, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” first came out at the drive-in theater when I was a young kid. Christopher Lloyd was fuckin’ awesome as Judge Doom! One of the coolest movie villains ever!

I don’t want Bob Hoskins back as Eddie since Bob is almost 70 years old now and he was pretty old himself when he played in the first movie. I would love it if Zemeckis wrote Judge Doom to come back from the dead and have Christopher Lloyd back, most definitely! I would prefer a younger star to lead in the sequel as long as they don’t get Shia Labeouf.

A Bob Hoskins cameo in the sequel would be alright for me though. The storyline for the second one could be that Judge Doom comes back to revenge Roger and Jessica. This time, Judge Doom is more evil and dangerous than ever. It’s just a plot idea that’s all.

I think Zemeckis will do the sequel, he wouldn’t give more details ’cause he didn’t want to break out the big news, he’s just giving out small hints. It’s great to finally hear news about a sequel though!

Cool Video: Bioshock clip…

Leave a comment

So Universal put the “Bioshock” live action on hold due to budget costs. Never heard of the “Bioshock” video game and want to see what the game is like?

What the game is about, I had a post on this before but I’ll explain again, Bioshock is about this guy that must save the underwater city of Rapture where the city is taken over by all kinds of monsters and zombies. There is this huge creature that is almost like a huge robot called a Big Daddy, where he has these possessed little girls, and you must kill the Big Daddy’s in order to save the little girls to turn them back to normal.

Here, I’ll post a  clip of the game. I’m still not done with the game yet, I’m still halfway through. Probably one of the toughest games ever! These are non spoiler clips though, just gameplay. Very cool game, and one of the best first person shooters I’ve ever played!

From this point on, users must be registered to comment. The random different user anonymous names is starting to annoy me and it isn’t happening anymore. You don’t come here to be a childish person. You come here to contribute and debate with discussions like a mature person, that’s what I hope to see in this blog. Some of you idiots out there think it’s funny to use screen name after another, but IP’s are logged with each screen name,  so I can tell that you’re all the same person anyways.

Staying on topic and contributing to an actual discussion like if you’re talking to me in person is what I hope to see on here too. Sorry it has to be this way, but if you’re here to be a jackass, you have no business discussing here, comments being stupid won’t be posted publicly.

Anonymity is for losers. I don’t go anonymous ’cause I have the balls to not hide my identity when I want to speak my honest mind on something. Anybody that goes anonymous is dead to me. I want real people being upfront about things. Thank you.

Leave a comment

“The Expendables”, blog posted exclusive behind the scenes footage. It shows Sly hard at work directing the cast while he’s acting and you can see how he does it. They also showed the explosion scene with Eric Roberts and Stone Cold flying in the air with a plane flying over head.

This movie is looking amazing. This movie is looking like to be quite an intense action  movie ride!

Check out the footage below. It’s fuckin’ badass!

Report: Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street” sequel is greenlighted, Shia LaBeouf and Michael Douglas to star…

Leave a comment

Oliver Stone’s hit 80’s movie, “Wall Street” is confirmed to be making a sequel. Shia LaBeouf is set to star, Michael Douglas is in negotations to return.

The first film focused on a young stockbroker trying to get to the top at “Wall Street”, while of course, “Wall Street 2” will focus on the bad economic times that the real “Wall Street” in NYC is having now.

The first movie also starred Charlie Sheen but I wonder if Oliver Stone tried asking Charlie to return, but he refused which is what made Shia to take his place?

I’m glad a sequel is being made, I loved the first movie!

Yep, Angelina Jolie is in Albany, N.Y. filming “Salt”, and I have the pics to prove it!!!

Leave a comment

Damn it, another website already got the exclusive pics before I did. 😦 Oh well. Yes, the real Angie Jolie is in Albany filming the scenes in “Salt”. It’s a spy movie and she’s undercover, that’s why she’s wearing weird clothes. She’s wearing a long coat and a winter’s hat in the hot days of Spring?

You can see pics of Angie working with a stunt woman here. Yep, Angie is in town, I think that’s really her. It’s hard to tell because of the makeup she’s wearing and the coat, and hat but I can tell it’s really her. Yep, the real Angelina in Albany, N.Y.!!!!

Enjoy the pics. I’ll be on the lookout for more! 🙂

Report: Robert Downey Jr. hints that Stallone’s “Poe” maybe next…

Leave a comment

For many years now, Sylvester Stallone has been talking about writing/directing an Edgar Allen Poe biopic film simply titled, “Poe”. Stallone is not going to star in it, he’s just writing/directing. Could Stallone’s “Poe” be next after, “The Expendables”? That’s what Robert Downey Jr.’s saying.

Robert doesn’t say whether or not he’s playing Edgar Allen Poe, but all he’s said was he read the script, so sounds like Sly finalized the script for “Poe”.

See the article here:

http://www.metro.us/us/article/2009/04/24/07/0713-82/index.xml

I hope, “Poe” will be Sly’s next movie after, “The Expendables”. If Sly does “Poe” next, it has potential to be Oscar worthy. I can see Robert playing Edgar Allen Poe and it could be great acting if he’s casted. It be nice to see Sly back in the Oscars, and “Poe” could be a perfect opportunity for an Oscar nod for Best Director/Best Picture if Sly makes the film right which I’m sure he will.

Thought: I think Creed will learn their lessons from the past with their music…

Leave a comment

So you wonder what Alter Bridge frontman, Myles Kennedy thinks about the Creed reunion? I’m sure Alter Bridge is still going on, but I don’t think Myles Kennedy is upset at all about the other guys reuniting Creed. I would think Myles is happy about it. There were talks about the Creed reunion ever since Myles Kennedy auditioned for Led Zeppelin and it actually happened for reals this time.

As for what Creed’s music is going to sound like for their 4th studio album with new songs? I think the band will learn from their past mistakes in their careers. They will go back to a rock oriented band instead of a mainstream pop band.

I think Creed’s “My Own Prison” was their best album because that album pretty much focused on the metal genre, close enough. The other two Creed albums were pop albums. I think Creed will go back to the hard rock stuff so that we can all love them again and silence all the nay sayers.

I’m sure the Creed haters online are complaining and bitching that they are coming back, that they think the Creed tour and album will both fail but I disagree. I think the 4th album will improve them as a band, and I think the band will try real hard to get everyone to like them again, even the metal heads that hate them.

Mark Tremonti has improved as a guitarist, and I think his guitar playing for the new Creed album will be much different than the first three. If we can get Creed to go back to writing great guitar riffs and Scott Stapp singing the dark and deep lyrics like their first record, “My Own Prison”, I think the band will just get even better.

I’m actually surprised and shocked to hear the news of the Creed reunion. I hope they get back to writing heavy songs again instead of writing top 40 pop songs. There’s a lot of Creed haters yes, but you can’t deny that their first record, “My Own Prison” is a really amazing album. It sounds like they are getting ready to write heavy songs again since they are looking to get Brendan O’ Brien, Bob Rock, and several other producers they are looking to get.

Creed is easy targeted in the music industry just like Metallica ’cause of how Creed did a heavy rock album like “My Own Prison” and then they went to mainstream pop in their next two. Plus, the band is hated ’cause of Scott Stapp’s huge ego, he’s a drunk and has a temper tantrum, Stapp gets into fights and drinks too much. I think Stapp is staying out trouble and has smarten up to get back in a band again.

I think the band got new material up their sleeve that will take the world by storm. You may hate Creed now but you’ll be surprised of what they can come up with in their next album. Could they do a metal album or a pop album? I hope they do a metal one. This is a band that deserves the respect.

Report: Konami bans, “Six Days in Fallujah” first person shooter video game from getting released…

Leave a comment

The video game publisher, Konami, has announced they had dropped the first person shooter game, “Six Days In Fallujah” from getting released. Konami will NOT release the game due to it’s controversial content with the game being about War In Iraq. It’s a first person shooter survival horror game. While the game does not have zombies or vampires or any monsters, it is described as the Marines visiting scary places with scary things happening inside of them.

The game was scheduled for release in 2010, but Konami has pulled the game’s release.

See more on it here:

More info on “Six Days in Fallujah” here”…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Days_in_Fallujah

Don’t worry folks, another video game publishing company will pick up the deal and release it, I’m sure. The game’s already creating a buzz now and it has the possibility of being the largest selling game in video game history.

While I understand why the game is creating controversy and anger, I’ll be honest, that the game actually looks pretty interesting and fun to me.

This just goes to show that the media doesn’t know anything about video games. The only reason Konami pulled it ’cause of the public outrage and they were afraid that no one would buy it.

There are plenty of video games over the years that were based on all wars. Hell, where do you think “Wolfenstein 3D’ came from? It’s a WWII inspired game since it’s about Nazis.

If this “Fallujah” game gets released, I gauruntee it will be a world record breaking smash. The kids will be all over this game. I think it’s an interesting idea for a first person shooter.
