Report: Liam Neeson hints at a “Taken” sequel…

Leave a comment

Actor, Liam Neeson, is the first to drop the big news that there are plans for a “Taken” sequel. “Taken” is a James Bond/Jason Bourne like action flick which is about a father out to rescue his kidnapped daughter from gangs himself. The film was written by Luc Besson and directed by Pierre Morel. Liam says to MTV that he is in talks with Luc Besson to discuss ideas and the plot for a possible sequel.

While I did love the movie, “Taken”, it was a very entertaining film, I hope the next one will be longer. The first “Taken” was too short. I wanted more. Liam Neeson makes a badass action hero. I kind of had a feeling there is going to be a sequel to this film ever since the first one came out.

Who will get kidnapped in the second movie? I hope they don’t do a kidnapped girl again ’cause that would be boring. I think it would be an interesting plot if Bryan Mills (Liam’s character) gets kidnapped himself and he has to find out a way to escape from the badguys. It would be the same gangs from the first one out to seek revenge on him. Start right off from the last one. Anyhow, can’t wait to see what the real plot will be! I hope it’ll be something different!

Report: Les Grossman will get his own movie to the big screen…

Leave a comment

As long as you’re Tom Cruise, you can get whatever you want. Les Grossman is a character from Ben Stiller’s, “Tropic Thunder”. The character was played by Tom Cruise. Even if the character was in the movie for just a small role, the character became a hit. Later on, Tom expressed interest in wanting to play the character more with the permission of Ben Stiller, since Ben is the one that created the character. Well, look like Ben Stiller is cool with Tom playing Les Grossman more, ’cause Paramount made it official that a Les Grossman movie is coming to the big screen.

Very cool. I loved Tropic Thunder and I thought Les Grossman was a cool character. This could be a funny movie if made right.

Although I have a feeling that the Les Grossman movie might possibly be about him dancing on stage or in a nightclub. Tom sure knows how to dance.

Report: Indiana Jones “Bermuda Triangle” storyline is not true, says Frank Marshall…

Leave a comment

Earlier this week, rumours hit hard on the next “Indiana Jones” plot that it was going to be about the Bermuda Triangle. Turns out it’s just a bullshit rumour. Frank Marshall the producer, took to his twitter page to squash the rumours.

More on it here:

Thank god it’s not true. I didn’t like the Bermuda Triangle plot anyways.

I would prefer the next Indy movie to focus on something serious. I’d still stand by it that if George and Steve wants the next Indy movie to be successful, they need to make the next one more like “Raiders”. If they make it a popcorn flick again, they will get another backlash by haters. Make the next Indy movie like “Raiders” where fans can be happy.

Report: New “Muppet” movie to hit theaters next year in 2011 on Christmas Day…

Leave a comment

Disney studios has greenlighted the new “Muppet” movie to hit theaters Dec. 25th of 2011. Even if the plot/synopsis has not yet been revealed, lets just hope it’s NOT another Christmas Muppets movie. We already had two of those. One of them was the Muppets remake of “A Christmas Carol” and the other was “Letters from Santa” the TV movie. Do we really need a third Muppets Christmas? Let’s hope it ain’t another Christmas film. I’m a huge fan of the Muppets by the way, always have been.

Report: John Carpenter to do his take on Dracula, Hilary Swank will star!!!

Leave a comment

Horror legend, John Carpenter is planning to direct his own remake of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” with “Fangland” which is a novel written by John Marks. Carpenter to do another vampire movie again? Just to remind you, this isn’t the first time Carpenter did a vampire film. The first vampire film he did was “Vampires” back in 1998 that starred James Woods in the leading role. In “Fangland”, it’ll be about Dracula taken place in our current time. Hilary is set to play Evangeline Harker, who plays a TV producer similar to a news magazine like, 60 Minutes.

It’ll be great to see Carpenter back on the big screen! The last film he did was “Ghost of Mars” back in 2001. Big Carpenter fan here! Hopefully this vampire flick will be better than that piece of shit, “Daybreakers”.

Report: Sandra Bullock starts signing on to projects, despite drama with Jesse James…actress to reunite with Ryan Reynolds in, “Most Wanted”…

Leave a comment

After a brief hiatus from film since, “The Blind Side”, Sandra Bullock is finally ready to go to work. After her heated divorce with Jesse James, the actress signs onto action-comedy, “Most Wanted” which she will reunite with Ryan Reynolds. Sandra and Ryan last starred in, “The Proposal” together.

I still haven’t seen the “Blind Side” yet. I’ll wait for the film to be shown on HBO ’cause honestly, I’m not a fan of Sandra’s acting. I do feel bad for her drama with that douche, Jesse James though. I’ll give her that.

Thought: Woody Harrelson should play the Riddler in Batman 3 if the Riddler is picked…

Leave a comment

If The Riddler is picked as the main villain for “Batman 3”, I think Woody Harrelson would be the perfect choice of actor to play the character. Woody looks almost exactly like Frank Gorshin from the TV series. Woody’s got the same look as the Riddler character, he’s got a great enough speaking voice for the character. I’m pretty sure Woody can laugh like the Riddler perfectly. Woody’s the perfect fit for the Riddler role, in my opinion.

As for who should play other Batman villains, another actor I can think of that could play the Penguin is Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He was actually rumoured to play the character years back but he denied it. Phillip is short and fat like the Penguin. Either him or Jack Black would be great for the Penguin.

As for the Catwoman, I know they won’t get Halle Berry, but lets hope Nolan doesn’t have her in mind. Honestly, Angelina Jolie might be great for Catwoman. Maybe Kate Winslet or Hillary Swank.

They need an actor who can play the villain with great acting chops, much like Heath Ledger’s Joker. I’m pretty sure Nolan won’t fail on the casting for the villain for Batman 3. He’s great at what he does.

Report: Christopher Nolan confirms no Joker in Batman 3, plus other Batman/Superman news…

Leave a comment

Christopher Nolan finally speaks on his projects with “Batman” and “Superman” to Empire magazine. Chris says the Joker will not be the next villain ’cause he feels it’s wrong for Heath Ledger to be replaced. While he didn’t reaveal any villains for “Batman 3” yet, he did say, however, that the Penguin and Mr. Freeze could possibly be the next two villains for the next flick. Chris also says he didn’t officially sign on to direct “Batman 3” yet, because his only focus is working on the new movie, “Inception” that stars Leonardo Dicaprio. Chris is only mentoring, “Batman 3” and “Superman”.

As for Superman, Nolan didn’t speak much about it, but he says, the next Superman movie will not be a DC styled superhero like film. Nolan confirms David Goyer is writing the new Superman script, and Nolan says he will not direct the Superman movie. Nolan says he will try to help Warner Brothers find a different director with the right fit. Again, Nolan refuses to say who the villains will be for the next “Superman” movie.

I’m sure, Nolan and the writers already have villains planned out for both films, they don’t want to reveal them publicly until the time is right. Just like they did with Heath Ledger’s Joker for “The Dark Knight”.

If you think about it, using Penguin for the next Batman movie would be a good idea ’cause I didn’t like the Danny Devito Penguin in “Batman: Returns”. The Penguin role needs to be done right. How are they going to find a  short and fat actor for the Penguin? Not many actors like that these days. Danny Devito would be too old to play the Penguin so I don’t see him reprising the role. If anything, one actor I can think of on who can play the Penguin is no one other than Jack Black, he is pretty short guy and overweight so he might be the right guy. I’m sure Jack Black can do the Penguin voice very well.

As for the villain for “Superman”, my pick is still Brainiac. Although I must say Terence Stamp returning as an aging General Zod would be badass though…
