Report: “Indy 5” confirmed to be moving forward…

Leave a comment

Lots of teases and rumours going around for a long time that “Indy 5” is in the works. Talks of an Indy 5 has been going ever since, “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” hit theater. Producer Frank Marshall, confirmed the news that “Indy 5” is in the works.

It’s no surprise to me ’cause Harrison, George and Steve has been talking about it for a long time.

AICN reports:

As long as they don’t use the Indy passing the torch to Shia idea, I’m all for an Indy 5. Lets hope they make the next Indy more like “Raiders” or “The Last Crusade”, and stay away from the silly popcorn action and make a serious Indy movie for once.

I LOVED “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, great film, but I would like the next Indy movie that all Indy fans would love. “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” is a movie you either love or hate, we need the next Indy film that we ALL could love. SO DON’T FUCK IT UP NEXT TIME GEORGE AND STEVE!!!

BREAKING NEWS: Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures officially buries the hatchet, brings J.J. Abrams onboard to produce, “Mission Impossible IV”!!!!!!

Leave a comment

Back in 2006, Summer Redstone, terminated his longtime relationship with hollywood movie star, Tom Cruise and now they are in good terms. Tom Cruise was banned from making movies with Paramount Pictures but NOT anymore. The studio signed Tom Cruise to star in, “Mission Impossible IV”, and Tom Cruise himself brought, J.J. Abrams onboard to produce.

There is no word whether or not J.J. will be directing again, he is just producing this one for now. Summer Redstone explains he healed the friendship with Tom and seems they are getting along again.

Paramount Pictures has also greenlighted, a sequel to JJ’s “Star Trek” and a third “Transformers” film.

I was never really a fan of the Mission Impossible series, but this is great news to hear that Paramount put their differences aside for Tom.

Tom needs to stop being a jackass in the media, focus on his movies and not being such a big media whore.

Tom is a good actor, I liked him in “Tropic Thunder” and “Valkyrie”. Of course, I like Tom’s older films too. He is somewhat of a douche, but I hope he just improves his personality so he can get my respect back. It’s good to see Tom getting his career back on track.

BREAKING NEWS: Sean Penn pulls out of “Cartel” and “The 3 Stooges” for personal reasons…

Leave a comment

Sean Penn has pulled out of two major Hollywood films he was confirmed to star in. They are: “Cartel” and “The 3 Stooges”. It has nothing to do with Hollywood or the films itself, he is pulling out due to personal and private reasons.

Variety Reports:

Well, Sean is having an on and off divorce battle against his wife, Robin Wright. That’s probably why. Maybe to straighten things out with his wife or maybe it’s something worse, that the couple could be divorced officially soon?

I was looking forward to seeing Sean as Larry of the “3 Stooges”. Well I’m sure the Farrelly’s will find a replacement very quickly.

Report: Patrick Stewart finally saw, JJ’s “Star Trek”, and gave us a review…

Leave a comment

Former, “Star Trek – The Next Generation” actor, Patrick Stewart, who originally played Captain Jean Luc Picard, finally got to see the new, “Star Trek” movie in London. Patrick’s review of, “Star Trek” is very positive of course. Sounds to me like he was totally blown away and thought the film was amazing as well.

However, he does admit that he finds it a little odd and weird watching a Star Trek movie that he didn’t star in… especially after starring in the last 4 Star Trek movies that starred, “The Next Generation” cast.

More on it here:

I wonder if Patrick Stewart will ever return to the big screen? Play in other movies besides, “Star Trek”? I know Patrick is doing theatre plays right now, but wouldn’t it be fucking sweet if Marvel film gave Professor Xavier his own movie? Patrick played Professor Xavier in the 3 X-Men movies. It be great if Patrick returned to that great character.

Report: “Conan” remake director found…Brett Ratner out…Marcus Nispel IN!!!!!

Leave a comment

Nu Image/Millenium has found their director for the “Conan” remake. I say, this is a much much better choice than Brett Ratner!

Marcus Nispel has been signed to direct the “Conan” reboot. To those who don’t know who Marcus Nispel is, he did both “Texas Chainsaw” and “Friday the 13th” remakes.

The first “Conan” movie is not really a horror movie, but there are some pretty creepy things in the film that Marcus could make a fantasy adventure film more horror like. I’m sure Marcus will stay true to the “Conan” series, and I’m so glad Brett Ratner is not on. Whew! Decent choice!!!

Who should take over the role of “Conan” the leading character, to replace Arnold?

My vote is Triple H (Paul Levesque) of the WWE. On a Wrestlemania event a few years back, Triple H, came down the ramp with a Conan the Barbarian costume on, and I’m like, “He’s the next Conan for the movie!!!”

And who should play Conan’s main villain, Thulsa Doom, that was originally played by James Earl Jones?

My vote on that one would be either Michael Clarke Duncan or Terry Crews.

Report: Rob Cohen drops out of “XXX 3” to do “Medieval” instead…

Leave a comment

Rob Cohen has backed out of directing “XXX 3: The Return of Xander Cage” which was supposed to re-team with action star, Vin Diesel. Rob pulled out to do a film titled, “Medieval”, instead. Rob already spoke to Vin Diesel himself about his decision and admitted it was a tough decision. Rob said he won’t be angry if the film makers decided to replace him for a director.

Hmmmm, something tells me that deep down inside Rob’s head, he didn’t really enjoy the script of the new “XXX” movie. Him saying not being angry about being replaced, is a sign that he doesn’t really like the direction of the film is going.

Thought: More on the reason Liam Neeson was picked for Hannibal…

Leave a comment

Like I said before, it’s the face of both Liam Neeson and George Peppard which are almost an exact match! Not only that, their speaking voices are very similar too!

Why didn’t they pick Bruce Willis or George Clooney? Probably ’cause their face didn’t match George Peppard and they found that Liam is a perfect fit.

Liam is going to be awesome as Hannibal. You may not think it, but like it or not, Liam is perfect for the role. With the great acting skills that Liam has, I think he’ll nail down the Hannibal role, dead on, just you wait! As a matter of fact, Liam’s character in the action flick “Taken”, reminded me of Hannibal of the A-Team.

I can definitely see Liam lighting up his cigar and saying the famous catch phrase, “Get yourself a team”. George Peppard died of cancer in real life, so doing this A-Team remake would be a nice tribute for George. Liam is a great pick for honoring the man!

Clint Eastwood’s “Gran Torino” is now out on DVD!!!! WOOT!!!

Leave a comment

Clint Eastwood’s latest film “Gran Torino” is finally out on DVD. Hell yes!!! This film is awesome! Clint returns to the leading role after all these years. He plays a racist old man who has a hatred against asians and black people. He has a hot classic car called, Gran Torino. He becomes friends with a young asian girl next door by saving her from other gang members in town. Clint’s character is being attacked by gang members while he forces this young asian boy to do work around his house for trying to steal his Gran Torino car.

This film is reccomended to those who never got to see it in theater. Clint is still a badass even at 80 years old!!!! I think I’m going to take a bike trip up to Kmart to pick up the DVD this afternoon so I can watch it tonight!!!

BREAKING NEWS: Liam Neeson in talks to play Hannibal in “A-Team” movie!!!!

Leave a comment

Well, it looks like 20th Century Fox found their Hannibal for the “A-Team” movie, that would be no one other than Liam Neeson. Bradley Cooper is also in talks to play Faceman Peck.

I think Liam is a perfect fit for Hannibal. Look at the two pictures above. Notice the similarities? The eyes look the same and the smile is similar too. They’ll probably give Liam a different hair color to match Hannibal’s from the TV show, give him that cigar, the black gloves, the clothes, and there’s a perfect match.

20th Century Fox probably loved what Liam did in the movie “Taken”, and they figure he’s capable of doing action flicks at this age. Liam Neeson is currently filming “Clash of the Titans” remake since returning to work from his small hiatus, since the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson.

Report: John Stamos is planning, “Full House – The Movie” for the big screen but won’t star original cast from sitcom…

Leave a comment

After the hit drama series, “ER”, left national TV…the show’s star, John Stamos, is left with no work for TV or film. What is Stamos planning next? He is planning to bring “Full House”, the hit family sitcom that originally starred: Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, John Stamos, The Olsen Twins, Jodie Sweetin, and Candace Cameron Bure…to the big screen. Yes, a “Full House” motion picture.

However, it won’t star the original cast. He plans to have a different cast play the Tanner family. Stamos says he is very close friends with the original cast of “Full House” and stays in touch with all of them…even Dave Coulier and both of the Olsen Twins.

More on it here:

Terrible idea, John. I think the show, “Full House” had a pretty good run. I would prefer the original “Full House” cast to play the Tanner family. I would think, the “Full House” fans would want the same. I think a film like this would fail.
