Report: George Lucas still moving ahead with Indy 5…

Harrison Ford says that George Lucas is in “thinking mode” for Indy 5. Lucas is serious about doing Indy 5 and continues to move forward. Ford speaks out on the status for Indy 5 with LA Times, giving hints that it’s definitely gonna happen and Ford seems to be game to continue to play Indy, but Ford refuses to do voice overs for an animated Indy film.

After Lucas doing “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” animated film, he now has an “Indiana Jones” animated film in the planning stages.

“Indy and the Crystal Skull” will be hitting DVD/Blu Ray Oct. 14th, so be on the lookout for that.

The more Indy, the better! I fucking love Indiana Jones. “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” was amazing, I loved the film to death.

The film did leave open for another movie, bring it on George!

Thought: Now that OJ is finished, Hollywood could do an OJ Simpson biopic in the future…

As much as we all hate OJ, you’ll have to admit that how his life turned out is sad. He went from being a football legend, to one of TV’s loved stars to starring in some movies like the Naked Gun and such, to being a criminal.

Now that OJ is finally in prison, I’m sure Hollywood is planning an OJ Simpson biopic film for the big screen to cover his life from his childhood to now. So I don’t see OJ promotion in the news going away just yet. You all know that Hollywood films will be all over this.

If there was an OJ biopic in the works, who should play him? I’m thinking Denzel Washington. He would be a perfect choice. And maybe Peter Berg could direct.

An OJ film could actually be a good one with the right script and cast. This will happen down the road believe me. An OJ film could be a good way for Fred and Kim Goldman to get paid the money that OJ himself owes them from the civil trial.

Report: Steven Seagal aims for a huge comeback to “Under Siege 3″…

It’s been years since action hero Steven Seagal had a huge successful film right? Well it looks like he is finally getting tired of making so many direct to video movies that he finally wants to do an “Under Siege 3”.

He says there has been offers and he has plot ideas. Look like Seagal is game to reprise his role as Casey Ryback.

MTV Movies Blog reports:

If it happens, I hope they make it a good one.

The first “Under Siege” movie was great. I thought “Under Siege 2: Dark Territory” was pretty bad.

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

“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.

Report: Martin Scorsese and Robert Deniro reuniting to “Paint Houses”…

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.

Scorsese and Deniro made quite several films over the years including “Mean Streets”, “Taxi Driver”, “New York New York”, “Raging Bull”, “The King of Comedy”, “Goodfellas”, “Cape Fear” and “Casino”. “Paint Houses” will be the 9th film that Scorsese and Deniro will re-team in.

Scorsese will direct of course, Deniro will play Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran.

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…

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?

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.
