Report: Snyder doesn’t seem worried about Fox’s “Watchmen” battle…

Leave a comment

“Watchmen” director Zack Snyder participated in an online press conference Q&A session, when asked about the film’s lawsuit with Fox vs. Warner Bros, he replied back saying he’s just been working on the movie and it hasn’t hit him yet. He also goes on saying if Fox really wanted to shut down the movie, they would have gone over to the “Watchmen” filming set to stop filming, but they haven’t. They’re just having fun making the movie, not worrying about any lawsuits.

Good for him! Glad he is not bothered by it and not paying attention to that drama. He seems like a good man.

Legendary director Martin Scorsese and Robert Deniro will reunite to make “I Heard You Paint Houses” which is an adaptation from a novel which will be about a mob assassin who many believe was involved in the death of Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa. The film will be made through Paramount Pictures.

Woah! Scorsese and Robby D back together again! This is even better than Pacino and Deniro reteaming in “Righteous Kill”!!!!!

Although the movie hasn’t even be made yet, I just know Scorsese will make “Paint Houses” a great one. Scorsese is one of the best film makers in Hollywood!

I’m glad Scorsese is finally making a fictional film that is not a music documentary!

Report: Jack Black to star in “Bourne” parody…

Leave a comment

Jack Black will reunite with his “Kung Fu Panda” writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger for an untitled live action comedy with Universal pictures. The film is described as a Jason Bourne parody spoofing off the movies starring Matt Damon. The plot will be about Jack’s character finding himself washed up the shores of Cuba, then he couldn’t remeber who he is and how he got there. He comes to the conclusion that he is a superspy, though in reality he is far from one.

Jack Black’s next movie he will star in is “Year One” directed by Harold Ramis.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

This “Bourne” parody sounds like it’s going to be a LOL riot throughout the whole thing.

Report: Will Star Wars “The Force Unleashed” video game become a movie?

Leave a comment

I’m sure everyone knows that new “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” video game is now out in stores everywhere for all video game consoles. The game’s creator and leader, Haden Blackman, made the game because he originally wanted this story to be on the big screen in a movie theater. I believe it was made into a video game instead because there was no deal to make it with George Lucas at the time.

Blackman said it is possible to make this game into a live action movie, and he also says George Lucas has expressed interest making it into a film. The story to “The Force Unleashed” is taking place between Episode III and Episode IV.

More on it here:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2008/09/will-force-unle.html

As much as I’m getting sick of Star Wars, I’ll have to admit that I am interested in playing “The Force Unleashed” video game. I honestly came this close to buying the video game at Best Buy a few times but put it back to get it another time. The game actually looks promising and fun. I think I’ll definitely buy it next time I go to Best Buy.

Reason I didn’t get it yet, is because I have a total of 10 games in my PS3 collection and so far I’ve beaten two of them. I try not to buy a new game since I still need to beat the rest of them.

My ps3 game collection so far:

Grand Theft Auto IV (beaten this game)

Viking: The Battle For Asgard (beaten this game)

FEAR

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

The Bourne Conspiracy

Iron Man

Beijing Olympics 2008

Soul Calibur IV

Metal Gear Solid 4

I’m currently playing “Metal Gear Solid 4” right now. I will get “The Force Unleashed” and will play it sometime down the road after I beat these other ones.

Report: Brett Ratner will bring “God of War” to the big screen…

Leave a comment

Film director Brett Ratner said he will bring “God of War” the hit video game a live action adaptation to the big screen.

The man said so himself here:

http://movieblog.ugo.com/index.php/movieblog/more/brett_ratner_making_god_of_war_film_confirmed/

Now just because he made horrible films in the past, I wouldn’t immediately jump in and assume he’s going to make “God of War” a bad film. He could possibly make it a great film if made right.

If Brett Ratner stays true to the video game, it could be great.

I agree with that blog, lets hope Ratner keeps the film rated R for the graphic violence and nudity. Because if you’re a die hard fan of the “God of War” games like myself, you would know that the games are full of blood and violence, and naked women in them too. Yep, the video games have naked women in the “God of War” games with their breasts shown uncensored and everything, lets hope Ratner doesn’t make it PG-13 friendly although I have a feeling he’s going to.

Report: James Cameron has no blessing for “Terminator Salvation” when McG said he did…

Leave a comment

James Cameron who is the director of the first two Terminator films, “Titanic”, and the new upcoming film “Avatar” spoke out on the new “Terminator Salvation” that McG is directing. McG has repeatedly said in the past that Jimmy Cameron was involved in helping out with the new Terminator flick and said that Jimmy had McG’s blessing.

Turns out that McG lied. Jimmy Cameron revealed that he is no part of the “Terminator Salvation” flick and never gave McG any blessing.

More on it here:

Well, lets hope that McG didn’t lie about Arnold being involved too.

While the trailers of “Terminator Salvation” looks impressive, I have a feeling it will be a stinker.

Report: Zack Snyder signs deal to make three video games with EA…

1 Comment

Zack Snyder who is the director of films such as “300” and the upcoming “Watchmen” (if it gets released and not canned by Fox, that is) has signed a deal to make 3 original video games with Electronic Arts. EA inspired to work with Snyder by the success of “300”, since the film’s audience is mostly young men in their 20’s and 30’s who also buys the most video games, EA thinks that Snyder would make really good video games being that “300” movie is almost video game like.

Remember now, Snyder is signed to do three “original” video games, meaning he won’t be doing sequels of other video games or no video games adapted from movies. Totally original.

Variety Reports:

Looking forward to what Snyder is going to come up with, he’ll come up with really good stuff for the video games.
