Report: “Watchmen” trial date pushed back to Jan. 20th…

Leave a comment

A Los Angeles federal judge moved the Twentieth Century Fox vs. Warner Bros. “Watchmen” trial back to Jan. 20th. The reason is, Judge Gary Allen Fees announced, he had to handle a criminal matter on Jan. 6 which was the original trial date for “Watchmen”.

For those who had forgotten what this war is about, Twentieth Century Fox claims they own the rights to the “Watchmen” graphic novel written by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons so Fox can make it into a movie themselves. Too late, Warner Bros. already made the movie and Warner Bros. claim they own the copyrights, not Fox. Fox filed a federal suit aagainst Warner Bros., demanding that Warner Bros. not make the film and not release it at all. Meaning that Fox wants to destroy Warner Bros. “Watchmen” project forever.

Zack Snyder, the director of “Watchmen” has never backed down, they are still moving forward on releasing the film even if they have a lawsuit on their hands. “Watchmen” has already released another trailer and more posters, and the release date for the film is still March 6th, 2009. Warner Bros. continues to fight for their copyrights of the film.

I’m still feeling that Warner Bros. will win this battle all the way, so they can release “Watchmen”. Warner Bros. will be victorious. Hang in there, Warner Bros., keep fighting. FOX are a bunch of greedy assholes anyway.

I bought the “Watchmen” graphic novel by Alan Moore, a while back but haven’t read it yet because I’m still reading the “Twilight” series. I will start reading the “Watchmen” graphic novel soon though before the movie comes out. I want this film to be released. It would be sad if Twentieth Century Fox wins and if FOX took “Watchmen” away from us, I will never watch a film by Fox again if they win the battle. Warner Bros. has my support.

BREAKING NEWS: Adam Walsh…the unsolved murder of little boy case is solved and closed…

2 Comments

Authorities in South Florida say they’ve finally solved the mystery of the murder of Adam Walsh, who is the son of John Walsh, the former host of the popular reality show “America’s Most Wanted” that used to air on TV back in the day.

The police say that serial killer, Ottis Toole, is the man responsible for murdering Adam Walsh. Ottis Toole, died in prison more than a decade ago. John Walsh himself believe Ottis killed Adam for many years but today they discovered evidence to prove that Ottis is really the killer. Sources online would not say how they discovered that Ottis is the killer though.

Back in 2007, serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer was suspected of killing Adam Walsh, but later John Walsh showed on his TV show “America’s Most Wanted”, that it wasn’t Dahmer, John still pointed the blame on Ottis.

My final Oscar award nomination for “Best Picture” prediction here…

17 Comments

I did this before in the past, but this is my final prediction of what will get nominated for the Oscars in Feb. of 2009 for “Best Picture”. Usually there are 5 films nominated every year for the “Best Picture” award and this is my pick.

I have only seen a few of these movies, but the ones I haven’t seen yet, I know will get nominated due to the hype…

Here’s my final predictions below:

“The Dark Knight”

“Wall-E”

“Frost/Nixon”

“Changeling”

“Milk”

Everybody knows why “The Dark Knight” will definitely get in. “Wall-E” will definitely get it no matter what happens. “Frost/Nixon” will definitely get in because of Ron Howard. “Changeling” will get it no matter what happens ’cause it rings Clint Eastwood everytime he’s at the Oscars every year with a new film. “Milk” starring Sean Penn will get it because they know that the film about a real life gay politician will create controversy in the media if it got nominated.

Out of this list, I only saw “The Dark Knight” and “Changeling” but the other three films looks really great. Mark my words, these five films will get the nomination. I don’t think films like “The Wrestler”, “Valkyrie” or “Benjamin Button” will get nominated at all.

I would be very surprised if “Valkyrie” got nominated for Best Picture all of a sudden, since it’s a WW II Nazi flick about Hitler, and it would be a shock if “Valkyrie” got the nomination and if it even wins. I would even be surprised if Tom Cruise wins for Best Male In a Leading Role nomination for “Valkyrie” as well. While “Valkyrie” does look really good, I don’t think it’s Oscar worthy.

Eastwood’s other film “Gran Torino” looks amazing as well, but I think “Changeling” will get the nomination instead of “Gran Torino”.

We’ll just wait until the official Oscar nominations come out to the press, to see if I got my predictions right.

Report: Harrison Ford set to star in JJ Abrams comedy titled, “Morning Glory”…

Leave a comment

Not too long ago, MTV News reported that Harrison Ford hinted, he will work on a comedy with JJ Abrams. Here are the details. The film is simply titled, “Morning Glory”, the film will be directed by Roger Michell. The film is produced by JJ Abrams film company, Bad Robot.

Aline Brosh McKenna wrote the script, she is also the writer for the movie, “The Devil Wears Prada”. This film will be made through Paramount Pictures, the same studio where Ford last worked on “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”.

Actress Rachel McAdams is set to star alongside Ford in “Morning Glory”.

Rachel plays an aspiring news reporter who tries to save a failing morning show by getting control of it’s feuding anchors. Ford is set to play one of those anchors she is feuding with.

Will there be jokes making fun of Indiana Jones or Han Solo for laughs in this film? I hope not. Leave Harrison’s other characters out of this film.

Seems like everytime Harrison tries to do a comedy, it fails in the box office. This one can be a hit if done right and hope they do make it a funny one.

Report: Cheech and Chong still smokin’ for a new movie but it will be animated…

Leave a comment

Since Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong buried the hatchet, reunited and now touring comedy shows all over the world, they had announced they will team up with Big Vision Entertainment to make an animated film about these two stoned comedians. Of course, Cheech and Tommy will do the voice overs.

The name of the movie will be “Cheech and Chong’s Smokin’ Animated Movie”, it will simply be about using scenes from their past live action films, making them animated versions, it will be a library of their past 6 films.

This looks to be a direct-to-DVD release, not a big screen release.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

Confirmed: Rob Zombie WILL direct “Halloween” sequel simply titled “H2″…

Leave a comment

Yes, Rob Zombie has inked a deal with Dimension films that he is returning to direct the “Halloween” sequel. The next “Halloween” film will simply be titled “H2”, yes that’s it. With the letter “H” and “2” both together, making it “H2”, the next movie title. Rob Zombie will write and direct, “H2” ,just like he did with the first movie. Filming will begin in March and they hope to get an October release date of 2009.

The new film will leave off right where the first movie ended except the sequel “H2” will NOT be a remake of  1981’s “Halloween 2” which also starred Jamie Lee Curtis. In “Halloween 2” it was mostly taken place in a hospital, Rob Zombie’s version of the sequel will be a totally different story. This article doesn’t give anymore details on the plot though.

No word if Tyler Mane will return as the fictional serial killer, Michael Myers, he probably will.

You can also see a teaser poster that Dimension already made for the film here at Variety:

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117997402.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

This is fantastic news!!! I’m so happy that Rob Zombie is on board for the sequel!!! YES!!!

Congrats to Rob. He had quite a career ride in the film business. He worked very hard to get into the movie business and now he is a big name film director thanks to “Halloween”.

Remember, Rob Zombie fought hard to get “House of 1,000 Corpses” a big screen release but no studio wanted to buy it off him because of it’s graphic content, but Lionsgate finally bought the movie off Rob and released it nationwide, the film became a hit. Then he released “The Devils Rejects” which also became a hit.

I’m looking forward to the sequel. I also hope Malcolm Macdowell will return as Dr. Loomis and I’m sure he will.

Confirmed: “New Moon” to be released Nov. 20th, 2009…

Leave a comment

Summit Entertaintment already confirmed a release date to “New Moon” which will be directed by Chris Weitz, Melissa Rosenberg wrote the script. The film is confirmed for a release date of Nov. 20th. Due to no new “Harry Potter” film being released around Thanksgiving in 2009, this gave “New Moon” the opportunity to get another November date again as they did with the first movie, “Twilight”, was released November 21st earlier this year.

Hopefully the Nov. 20th, 2009 date is set in stone, because it’s possible there could be push backs if Chris Weitz doesn’t finish the movie in time. I hope Chris does a good job with it, I hope he stays true to the novel ’cause I feel that “New Moon” is better than the first. If you read the book, “New Moon”, it stays away from the romance, so there will be more thrills and chills in the next one. “New Moon” will be more violent too. Will it get a PG-13 rating because of it? Who knows.
