BREAKING NEWS: Roman Polanski is fighting to get molestation charges dropped!!!!

Leave a comment

Film director Roman Polanski who had made such films as “The Pianist”, “Oliver Twist”, “Frantic”, “Rosemary’s Baby”, “The Ninth Gate”, and plenty of more is on the fight to get molestation charges dropped in the United States. Today, Polanski’s attorney’s submitted the film made for HBO titled “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired” to the Los Angeles Superior Court part of a complaint citing “extraordinary new evidence” that surfaced with the documentary.

Polanski, the complaint charges, “was and continues to be the victim of repeated, unlawful and unethical misconduct on the part of the L.A. District Attorney’s Office and L.A. Superior Court.”

A hearing has been set for Jan 21st.

Polanski who is a French citizen fled to France before being sentenced for molesting a 13 year old girl named Samantha Geimer which happened way back in 1977. He isn’t allowed to return to the United States, if he enters our country, he will be arrested. He is still considered a fugitive at large to this day. Samantha Geimer appeared in the “Wanted and Desired” documentary and she is the one that requested Polanski’s charges to be dropped in the film.  

Polanski wants the charges dropped in the U.S. so he can move back here to make movies in Hollywood.

Lets hope they do the smart thing by NOT dropping his charges and he stays in France until he dies. Who knows what teenage girl he’ll be after next.

Report: Rob Zombie to direct “Halloween” sequel? It’s a possibility…

Leave a comment

Two different directors were confirmed to direct the “Halloween” remake sequel, but both of them parted ways with Dimension Films, which leaves the door open for anybody to direct “Halloween 2”. Trancas International is reporting the possibility that Rob Zombie may direct the sequel. “Halloween 2” begins filming this coming March but a press release will be made public in a few days on whether or not Rob Zombie is on board.

I hope it’s true that Rob Zombie is coming back. He did an excellent job with the first one and he won’t dissapoint the sequel either. I hope Zombie is still on board!!

I’ve been hearing that Rob is going back to his solo music career soon, so I don’t know, but we’ll wait and see what happens.

I can’t see the sequel being made without him.

Report: “Beverly Hills Cop 4” plot revealed!!! And it actually sounds decent!!!

Leave a comment

“Beverly Hills Cop 4” continues to move forward with Brett Ratner directing, script written by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas. Film will be PG-13 and is slated for a 2010 release.

Synopsis below:

Story is set 15 years since Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy’s leading character) left Beverly Hills as a cop. He returned for a very good reason, his longtime partner Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) is brutally murdered in the streets. Rosewood was thrown off a building trying to make it look like a suicide. Foley has a new partner named Goodwin who is a fat rookie who has a crush on a lady cop. Axel vows to find out who killed his good friend Billy Rosewood, not trying to let other things get in his way.

While it does kind of suck that they are killing off Rosewood, it looks like Judge Reinhold WILL be in the movie after all but he will only get a small role due to getting killed off in the beggining. The story actually sounds decent. I’m liking it.

Hopefully Ratner did a good job with the film.

Report: Aronofsky originally wanted Sly Stallone and Nic Cage for “The Wrestler”…

Leave a comment

Film director Darren Aronofsky revealed that Mickey Rourke wasn’t the first choice to play Randy “The Ram” Robinson in the film “The Wrestler”. First choice in line was Nicolas Cage, but Nic Cage turned the movie down due to creative differences, sounded like Nic Cage didn’t like the script and moved on. Second choice was Sylvester Stallone. Aronofsky explains how he was trying to get Sly back in the ring again but Sly has been too busy working on “Rocky Balboa” at the time. Then Mickey Rourke accepted the role.

From the article below:

http://www.azcentral.com/ent/movies/articles/2008/11/28/20081128wrestler-rourke.html

Rourke, for several reasons, wasn’t the first choice for the role – and, for those same reasons, he wasn’t the easiest person to stay first choice. Aronofsky now says that the story that Nicolas Cage was the original choice and bowed out in deference to Rourke “is a bit overblown,” but he concedes that Sylvester Stallone was on his short list early on. “I was thinking it’d be interesting to see him go back to the ring in some way because he’s so good in the ring. Then he did ‘Rocky Balboa,’ the latest ‘Rocky,’ and it kinda ruled it out for me because it was about an older guy going back to the ring. There were enough connections there that I didn’t want to go near it.”

I’m dying to see “The Wrestler” but I don’t know if the Wilton Mall will ever get it though. The film is not a nationwide release, only in selected theaters so I’ll just wait for DVD on this one. The movie does look amazing though.

I don’t know if Sly would go for a wrestler type of movie anyways, he’s more of a boxing movie star.

Edit to add: I just remembered that Sly Stallone wrote, directed and starred in “Paradise Alley” one of Stallone’s older movies and that movie is wrestling related. So Sly is definitely a fan of wrestling too so never know, he could have done “The Wrestler”.

Summit Entertainment announced a sequel is greenlighted, a script has been written already, and the cast from the first movie is still on board for a sequel, so they aren’t wasting any time and getting right to work.

They will film the “New Moon” movie in Italy because most of the book was taken place there.

Glad they are getting right to work on the sequel. We’ll probably get an early 2011 release for “New Moon”. The second story gets better and more interesting than the first.

Report: Steve Guttenberg says a new “Police Academy” and “Three Men and a Baby” sequel is coming to the big screen!!!!

Leave a comment

A former iconic 80’s comedy star, Steve Guttenberg, is looking to make a comeback to the big screen but in a huge way. For those who has forgotten who he is, he is mostly well known for his roles in the “Police Academy Films”, the “Three Men and a Baby” comedy, and the first “Short Circuit” film which are all huge films that made the man a huge star. Guttenberg is still acting in movies over the years, however, he hasn’t been doing films that aren’t so well known and doing smaller roles.

Steve Guttenberg reveals the breaking news that he is working on a new “Police Academy” sequel and another sequel to “Three Men and a Baby” reuniting Tom Selleck and Ted Danson. In the “Police Academy” sequel, he plans on reuniting the entire original cast, including Kim Cattral and Sharon Stone who played in the first one.

He also admits that him turning down “Short Circuit 2” was a mistake and wishes he was in it. Is that a hint that he is also planning a “Short Circuit 3” as well? Who knows.

I don’t care about the “Three Men and a Baby” sequel ’cause I never liked the first one but I’m all for a new “Police Academy” movie. I fuckin’ love the “Police Academy” films.

Does this mean that we’ll get G.W. Bailey returning as the grumpy old Capt. Thadues Harris, Bubba Smith back as Hightower? Michael Winslow back as Larvelle Jones? David Graf back as the heavily armed Tackleberry? Will Bobcat Goldthwait return too? Hell yeah!

Bring it on Steve. I would love another Police Academy with the original cast.

So far, there’s 7 “Police Academy” flicks, but the last few were straight to video releases, I believe, and didn’t have the original cast. I think a new one with the original cast would be a box office hit, indeed. Hope “Police Academy 8” happens!!!

I hope they make “Police Academy 8” a LOL laugh riot throughout the entire thing, I’m sure they would do a great job!!! 🙂

Cool Video: WHAT??? Did Sly just say he’s reuniting with Dolph Lundgren for “Expendables”?

Leave a comment

Oh my, did I hear this correctly? Did Sly just say he’s looking to sign Dolph Lundgren for “Expendables”? Remember, Sly starred with Dolph in Rocky IV when Dolph played Ivan Drago. It be kick ass to see Sly and Dolph in a movie again!!! Hope Sly gets him.

Sly the man himself said so at the Transporter 3 premiere.
