Thought: Speaking of Eastwood’s Gran Torino…the return of Dirty Harry? OMG!!!!

Leave a comment

 

In the Variety article I posted about Clint Eastwood’s movie “Gran Torino” that he will direct and star the lead in, notice how the article said the plot and story is under wraps, which means they are keeping everything a secret. Which means it could be a huge surprise.

Does this mean that Eastwood is bringing back his iconic character Dirty Harry to the big screen for one last time?

A Gran Torino is a car made back in the 70’s, similar to the ones that Dirty Harry drove in those movies…

Check out the cars here:

Aint It Cool just brought up the story:

OH MY FUCKING GOD! Please CLINT make it be true!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit!!!!

Look like Clint has been following the footsteps of “Rocky”, “Rambo”, and “Indy” coming back for one last time. 🙂

Clint back into action movies for one last time? If Harrison Ford and Sly Stallone can do it, why can’t Dirty Harry!

Report: John Singleton’s “The A-Team” remake gets a release date…

6 Comments

20th Century Fox has just confirmed a release date for “The A-Team” remake which will be helmed by John Singleton, the movie will be released June 12th in 2009. John Singleton is really dying to have Woody Harrelson play the role of Murdock. And I agree, Woody Harrelson is a perfect choice for Murdock since the two men look almost exactly alike.

Singleton says the script is completed and finalized. The A-Team script is written by the same guys who wrote the movie “3:10 To Yuma”. The film will NOT be a comedy/action like “Starsky and Hutch”. Singleton wants “The A-Team Movie” to be a strictly action flick like how the 80’s action movies were.

No one has been casted in the “A-Team” remake yet, it’s just that Singleton’s first choice for Murdock is Woody Harrelson. As once reported on MTV Movies Blog, Woody Harrelson already talked with John Singleton about it but has not signed with him yet.

It was rumoured that Ice Cube may play the role of B.A. Baracus taking over Mr. T. Ice Cube ain’t a bad choice either.

I’m still wondering who will be good for “Faceman” Peck and Hannibal. Finding an actor for “Faceman” won’t be too hard but it might be tough to find someone for Hannibal.  For Hannibal, they gotta find an actor to match the white hair and that unique smile with that cigar.

For “Faceman” Peck I’d say give that role to Steve Carrell.

Steve Martin for Hannibal maybe?

NEW: See the trailer for “Superhero Movie” here…

Leave a comment

Finally, the trailer for “Superhero Movie” starring Leslie Nielsen, Pamela Anderson, and Brent Spiner (Data from “Star Trek: TNG”) has made it’s way to the internet. It actually looks kinda cool and entertaining. I’ll still see it, just not in theater. I’ll definitely wait for DVD rental on this one.

Yes, Brent Spiner is in the trailer. He’s the guy with the very white hair, glasses, the one showing the dragonfly, that’s Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. 🙂

Report: The Velvet Revolver claims they’ll tour with Led Zep…

Leave a comment

First The Cult, now the Velvet Revolver is bringing up rumours of touring with Led Zeppelin.

http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/58620978

*sigh*

The rumours of Led Zeppelin touring just won’t end, eh? Even if Led Zeppelin keeps denying a tour, that doesn’t help destroy the rumours either.

Get the hell over it people! In the words of Jason Bonham, he said “Begging for a tour” is greedy. And I agree with him.

I’m not upset of Led Zeppelin not touring. I’m happy enough they finally got to gig together for one last time. Who cares if Led Zeppelin don’t tour! Be happy that they came back to us for one last round.

And for the record, the Velvet Revolver is a shitty band. They suck. Led Zeppelin were never known to share concerts with other bands. They only shared with other bands at the O2 gig ’cause it was a tribute for Ahmet Ertegun.

I wish these delusional bands like the Velvet Revolver would stop fantasizing about touring with Led Zeppelin, keep dreaming boys, it will never happen.

Thought: George Lucas, ENOUGH OF STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!!

Leave a comment

I am sick of it. Sick of Star Wars. Sick of it, sick of it, sick of it!!!!!! Come on George!!!! 6 movies is enough! Now we’re getting a CGI animated movie and a live action TV series based on nothing but the “Clone Wars” coming our way. It’s all pathetic in my opinion.

I like Star Wars don’t get me wrong, but I sometimes feel the Star Wars franchise is highly overrated. I enjoyed the six Star Wars movies, the 3 originals and the 3 prequels, I liked them all.

I want to see George do something original. I think George is just doing more Star Wars ’cause he enjoys the attention of money being made off of it. “American Graffiti” and “THX 1138” were both great films. If he keeps doing more Star Wars, I believe he can’t do original work anymore ’cause if he did something that is not Star Wars, it’ll bomb, that’s exactly what happened to “Howard the Duck”.

If George Lucas one day announces he’s doing three more live action Star Wars films in the future based on a different plot, I’m done with Star Wars, completely. This guy is gonna be doing Star Wars stuff until the day he dies.

NEW: First look of Benicio Del Toro as “The Wolfman”…

2 Comments

Entertainment Weekly magazine has the first official photo of Benicio Del Toro as the new “Wolf Man” remake from the original. The original Wolf Man is pictured above.

See the new version of the Wolfman here, along with a short interview of makeup artist Rick Baker:

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20185191,00.html

I don’t like the new Wolf Man look. If I see the trailer, I might change my mind, but so far this film isn’t look good.

Benicio stars alongside with Anthony Hopkins. As long as Anthony Hopkins is in the film, I’ll see it for that one reason ’cause he’s one of my favorite actors. So far, this film is sounding like a “wait for DVD release”.

Look like the show trying to find ways to raise ratings for the 200th episode. The world loves Robin Williams. I’ll probably watch this episode. I enjoy watching “Law and Order: SVU”. It’s one of the very few shows I watch all the time.

Report: Eastwood to drive “Gran Torino”…

Leave a comment

Think Clint Eastwood had quit acting in leading roles of film yet? Think again!!! Eastwood is about ready to make his return to star in the lead and direct both at the same time. The last film Eastwood directed and played at the same time was the drama film “Million Dollar Baby” starring Hillary Swank, but Eastwood was just a co-star in the film, not the lead. Eastwood’s next film is titled “Gran Torino”, which he will star the lead throughout the entire film and direct.

Eastwood just completed filming “The Changeling” starring Angelina Jolie, Eastwood is not in that film at all, he just directed it.

Variety reports:

Glad Eastwood is returning back to leading roles finally. He is a god at both directing and “acting”. I guess he only cast himself in his own movies only when he’s needed for the right character in the script.

Report: Sam Raimi to direct Jack Ryan?

Leave a comment

Paramount Pictures is in negotiations with “Spiderman” and “Evil Dead” director Sam Raimi to helm the next Jack Ryan series. Sam Raimi is currently filming the movie “Drag Me To Hell” a new horror film. Paramount wants the new Jack Ryan movie to be released in the summer of 2010.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117982612.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

Raimi should go for the Jack Ryan film. I never liked the Spiderman movies and I wish Raimi would get away from them.

Report: Anton Yelchin for Terminator 4…

Leave a comment

Anton Yelchin is a young actor from the country of Russia, he is in negotiations to co-star  in “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins” to play the young Kyle Reese. The adult Kyle Reese was played by Michael Biehn in the first Terminator film.  Anton’s next project you will also see him as the young Chekov in JJ Abram’s “Star Trek XI”.

The Hollywood Reporter Reports:

Look like Terminator 4 is coming out to be a pretty good cast so far. I’m sure McG will make a great Terminator film. Just because Arnold won’t be in it and just because McG will direct it, doesn’t mean the film will suck.
