Report: Mission Impossible 4 to hit theaters Dec. 16th 2011…

Leave a comment

Even though I’m not much of a Mission Impossible fan, the 4th one is actually very exciting. I for one am looking forward to seeing the trailer for MI:4. We’ll probably see a teaser later this summer. I think a teaser for “MI:4” would be a perfect attachment to the “Expendables” movie when that film comes out in August. Hopefully, “MI:4” will be violent and action packed. I’m sure it will be. You may not see Tom Cruise as an action star, but believe it or not, he is an action star. He’s been in plenty of action movies from the past. 🙂

BREAKING NEWS: Tom Cruise officially signs on to MI: 4!!!!!

Leave a comment

Tom Cruise has officially signed on to the next installment of the Mission Impossible series. If the trailer is good enough to make me want to go out and see it, maybe. I like Tom Cruise as an actor, I wasn’t a big fan of the MI series.

Report: JJ Abrams changes his mind about working on Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” series into films, he won’t be doing them…

Leave a comment

A long while back, JJ Abrams said he was talking about wanting to make the “Dark Tower” novel series into films by Stephen King. It seems that JJ changed his mind and said he won’t be doing them. The reasons?

JJ admits he was overwhelmed by the six years of working on “Lost”, he refuses to do another 7 years working on the “Dark Tower” series. Keep in mind there are a total of 7 “Dark Tower” series. I have them all and read them all.

JJ says, he will be willing to see, “The Dark Tower” movies made by someone else, but it won’t be him, since he is a Stephen King fanatic.

From MTV News:

That really sucks. I was hoping JJ would stick with them. Oh well. I’m sure there are other good directors that would take over. Directors that I think would make great Dark Tower flicks: Ridley Scott, Peter Jackson, and Sam Raimi.

Please, just stay away from Brett Ratner and Michael Bay.

If these Dark Tower series can’t be made into movies at all, why not make them into video games instead? If you read the books, you can easily see that these would make great video games for the Ps3/Xbox.

Will Brent Spiner ever play Data again in the new Star Trek movies?

Leave a comment

Former Star Trek star, Brent Spiner who played Data the android in, “Star Trek: the Next Generation” seems pretty annoyed at the question if he is ever going to play Data again. Brent took to his twitter page hoping this will help people stop asking him this question. I’m sure he gets asked this all the time if he will ever reprise his iconic role.

Here’s what he said from his official twitter page:

“I think we should all get over me playing Data again. Not logical. Too old. Don’t want to see Micky Rooney as Andy Hardy, Grandad. New Data!”

http://twitter.com/BrentSpiner

So there you have it, Star Trek fans. He will never go back to his Data role ever. He tells you to, “get over it”. LOL!

Sounds like he is willing to pass the torch to someone else to play Data though, does that what he means by, “new Data”?

If Data comes back in the upcoming JJ Abrams sequels, Brent Spiner could be replaced. It wouldn’t look right though, only he could play that character.

BREAKING NEWS: JJ Abrams “Star Trek” is now biggest “Star Trek” film in history!!!

Leave a comment

You’ve been reading my blogs about the new “Star Trek” movie ever since it’s been announced. I’ve been predicting since then, that “Star Trek” was going to beat out the rest of the Star Trek movies in the box office. See? What I tell you? It actually happened!!!! JJ’s “Star Trek”, the biggest Star Trek film ever!!!!!! Congratulations, JJ! That man saved the “Star Trek” franchise big time. This is only the beggining as Star Trek will get even bigger in the future.

George Lucas must be pissed right now. Will he do another Star Wars trilogy to compete with Paramount on Star Trek? Wouldn’t surprise me.

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.

Variety Reports:

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.

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.

Thought: Other than William Shatner… will other “Trek” cast mates appear in the upcoming sequels???

1 Comment

There are talks of William Shatner returning to “Star Trek” sequel by JJ Abrams. What about the other original cast mates appearing in the next movie? Do you think it’s possible if they can bring back George Takei as the original Sulu, James Doohan as Scotty, Walter Koenig as Chekov and Nichelle Nichols as the original Uhura to make cameos in the next one too?

Will they even somehow throw in Captain Picard if Patrick Stewart agrees to make a Star Trek return?

It’s funny how everyone wants Kirk and Spock back into the new movies when they forget the other cast mates. I’m sure JJ will somehow write in a cameo spot for other Star Trek actors.

Kirstie Alley made a cameo in JJ’s “Star Trek”, as you may or may not know, Kirstie Alley played one of the leading characters, Lt. Saavik in “Star Trek II, III, and IV”.
