Report: Robert Rodriguez’s “Predators” director found, it is Nimrod Antal…and Brock doesn’t want Stallone in the leading role in this…

Leave a comment

Well, it looks like Robert Rodriguez himself won’t be directing the, “Predators” reboot. Turns out Robert got a different guy by the name of Nimrod Antal. Nimrod’s most well known film is titled, “Vacancy” that starred Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson.

If you look in the AICN talkback, they are talking about who will star the lead in, “Predators”.

See it here:

Most of the talkbackers in that link are begging for Sly Stallone to star the lead in, “Predators”. Sorry to say, but even though I’m such a huge fanatic of Sly, I don’t want Sly in “Predators”. It doesn’t fit him. “Predator” belongs to Arny.

Robert Rodriguez has been saying he’s been trying to get Arny in the lead as Dutch again, so maybe they are saving this film for when Arny is all done with politics. I think Dutch needs to return. I fucking loved the first, “Predator” film, it was an amazing flick and I would love for Dutch to return.

If Arny says no and turns it down, here are my picks of the leading role: Matt Damon, Dwayne Johnson, Antonio Banderas, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, and Michelle Rodriguez if they pick a female lead.

Report: The Governator surviving emergency plane landing that could have been a plane crash…

It’s a good thing that Arnold is ok, and not injured or even worse, glad he wasn’t killed that would have been a plane crash. So they must of have a really good pilot if he was paying attention.

I’m sure this won’t stop his filming of, “The Expendables” with Sly.

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!!!

Variety Reports:

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: Is Josh Brolin the Church character for “The Expendables”???

Leave a comment

That’s what Sheryl Main’s “Expendables” twitter page is hinting us. They wrote that Josh Brolin just finished “Jonah Hex” movie, Sheryl Main is on the cell phone with Josh, and he’s on the same flight she’s in…though the page fails to tell us why they are keeping in touch with him.

Yep, looks like Church will be Josh Brolin. The former Goonies star, the guy that starred in the Coen Bros. “No Country For Old Men” and played George W. Bush in Stone’s, “W.”.

Sly, Arny, and Josh playing in the same scene together? Hmmmm, I like it! 🙂

Film Review: Terminator Salvation

1 Comment

Starring: Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Helena Bonham Carter, Moon Bloodgood

Directed by: McG

Yep, so I finally went and saw “Terminator Salvation” on this great day of Memorial Day this afternoon. Here is my review…

Plot/synopsis: This is a prequel set in the future, the story set before the earlier Terminator films if this makes sense. In, “Terminator Salvation” it is set in the year 2018. A full grown John Connor is on a mission in a resistance group, to stop the terminator machines against Skynet from creating the blast, known as “Judgement Day” (a nuclear blast the machines use to eliminate humans off of planet Earth). Connor teams up with another terminator machine named Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) to battle against these machines, while a young Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) joins to help ’em.

It wasn’t all that bad as I thought it would be. It was a pretty fun and exciting movie, just like a typical Terminator movie. The action was fun and exciting. It was good sci fi, it reminded me of “Mad Max: The Road Warrior”.

I thought Sam Worthington made a badass Terminator machine, he was great. Anton Yelchin was a great choice for a young Kyle Reese ’cause Anton looks like a young Michael Biehn.

The Arnold appearance was really cool, although I wish they gave him just a little more screen time. Even though it was a CGI Arnold, I’m glad they gave him some action like Terminator fans would want.

McG did a good job staying true to the earlier Terminator flicks. It ain’t the best Terminator movie but I did like it. I thought it was a pretty good one. The most I was impressed with the movie is the sounds effects, this movie is going to sound awesome on a 5.1 Surround Sound system.

I’m glad to hear Linda Hamilton’s voice overs in the flick too. McG did a good job making a Terminator movie but there could be more improvements. Hopefully Arny will agree to return as the leading role for T5 when his governor run is over.

Score for “Terminator Salvation”: *** (3 stars as in “good”)

Report: “Terminator Salvation” didn’t do well in the box office and it’s no surprise!!!

Leave a comment

“Terminator Salvation” only made $43.0 million this Memorial Day weekend, while Ben Stiller’s sequel to “Night at the Museum” makes even more.

More on it here:

http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.reuters.com/quotmuseumquot-comedy-beats-quotterminatorquot-box-office-reuters

It’s no surprise to me. I guess the only reason that Terminator didn’t do well in the box office is that simply….no Arnold Schwarzenegger in the leading role.

If Arnold starred the leading role in this film throughout, then it would be a gaurunteed box office record breaking smash, no matter how bad the storyline is.

This is just proof that Terminator can not be successful without Arny. When Arny gets done being governor, lets hope he does the smart thing, get back into shape with his fat body, agree to star in “Terminator 5” so he can save the franchise.

I am agreeing with everyone else, that I can’t see a Terminator movie without Arny. I’ll still see “Terminator Salvation” this week sure, hopefully either tonight or tomorrow.

Report: Robert Rodriguez is writing and directing, “Predators”…also Arnold returning as Dutch might be a possibility…

Leave a comment

AICN spoke with Robert Rodriguez himself in an exclusive interview. Rodriguez just denied the rumours that he isn’t writing and directing, confirmed that he is. He says he plans to make the new “Predators” similar to the first one.

Is Rodriguez saving this movie until Arny is through with being governor? Could Arny come back as Dutch in the next one? If so, that would be fucking cool! Rodriguez says he’ll see what happens to get Arny back, so never say never! 🙂

I also think it would be cool if Danny Glover will return too. Wouldn’t it be badass to see Dutch and Lt. Mike Harrigan to team up? Hell yeah, I loved both “Predator” films.

Report: Schwarzenegger talks “Terminator Salvation” cameo, hints at returning to acting after he’s through with being governor…

Leave a comment

The Governator speaks on his “Terminator Salvation” cameo, he says he’ll only be in the movie very briefly, and also says that Arnold himself, will actually not be in it, his cameo will be computerized aka CGI.

The good news is, that Schwarzenegger hints at returning to acting in Hollywood full time after he’s finished with his governor of Californy-ah run. He also hinted that he is interested in returning as the leading role for Terminator 5.

Confirmed: Arnold has a cameo in “Terminator Salvation”…

Leave a comment

Actor Terry Crews who is currently in Brazil filming, “The Expendables” with Stallone, confirmed the news that Arnold Schwarzenegger has a cameo in the new, “Terminator Salvation”. For the longest time, McG and the other cast and crew of the film has been pretty secretive about it. It looks like McG gave Terry Crews the permission to break out the news. There were talks on whether or not, Arnold will appear in “Terminator Salvation” in CGI or live in person, Terry says, he doesn’t know how Arnold will be in it.

He also revealed the news that Terry will be filming in the same scene with Arnold for Stallone’s new movie, “The Expendables”, filming right now. Terry and Arnold already worked together in the sci fi action adventure, “The 6th Day”.

Cool Video: New “Terminator: Salvation” trailer with a lot more footage…

4 Comments

Very cool, “Terminator: Salvation” trailer here. Looks amazing, I’m dying to see this flick now. You see, just because McG did the first two “Charlie’s Angels” movies, does not mean he will ruin Terminator. 🙂 I think McG is a fine film maker. I actually enjoy the two “Charlie’s Angels” flicks too.

Enjoy the new T-4 trailer here:

Definitely looking forward to this one.
