BREAKING NEWS: Russell Crowe joins “Nottingham”, confirmed to play both Robin Hood and the Sheriff…

1 Comment

Ridley Scott, the man who is directing his next movie “Nottingham” which is another movie about Robin Hood revealed to MTV News that Russell Crowe is confirmed to be playing Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham both, that means Russell will be playing two roles in the film.

I can’t wait to see Ridley Scott’s version of Robin Hood. There are so many movies of Robin Hood with “Robin Hood Prince of Thieves” that stars Kevin Costner being the most well known Robin Hood movie.

I don’t know if Russell would make a great Robin Hood or not. Robin Hood is supposed to young, not middle aged and chubby looking like Russell is. Russell is not an overweight man but he has gained some weight on him if you seen him in “American Gangster” and the trailer for “Body of Lies”.

Ridley Scott is a good film maker so hopefully his version of Robin Hood will be good.

3 Comments

Is Script Girl on her way in becoming the next big youtube star?

She’s a girl in her thirties I believe who works very close to Hollywood, she reports on hollywood script sales. Check her out, she’s a hot chick with great tits and easy on the eyes. I think her youtube channel is my new obsession. Check out her videos and subscribe to her channel if you dig her stuff. Her videos are not only sexy, they are pretty insightful and interesting.

Enjoy her latest video.

Report: Tim Burton already filming “Alice In Wonderland” now…

Leave a comment

Well, Tim Burton is not wasting any time on “Alice In Wonderland” by Walt Disney and he is already filming the movie in Cornwall right now. Johnny Depp has not yet arrived on set to start filming his scenes but he will in the near future. Tim Burton has already started filming Mia Wasikowska an 18 year old actress from Australia who I believe is playing Alice the leading role. See the photo of Tim Burton working on the film in the link below.

Surprising that he is filming this movie this soon. I guess he’s really that excited and stoked to work on it.

I hope it’s good though. “Alice In Wonderland” has been remade so many times and it will be interesting to see Tim Burton’s vision of it. Tim Burton has a weird imagination.

Report: “The Dark Knight” DVD/Blu Ray announcement and cover art released!!!

Leave a comment

Why so serious? The Dark Knight is still playing in theaters today even if the movie is coming out on DVD soon!!! “The Dark Knight” is being released December 9th in a Two disc DVD SE, a single disc with no extras, and the Blu Ray all coming out the same day.

You can see the cover art of the DVD’s and Blu Ray of “The Dark Knight” in the link below. I will start googling information about the extra features for the DVD/Blu Ray tonight.

Dark Horizons reports:

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/080927f.php

I plan to get the 2 disc SE version of course. I’m not getting the Blu Ray. I like Blu Ray discs don’t get me wrong, I’m just not gonna use my Playstation 3 to watch Blu Ray movies with. I use the PS3 to play video games on. I got so many DVD’s in my collection that I don’t really need to start a Blu Ray movie collection anyways. I have at least between 400 – 500 movies in my DVD collection and counting.

I can’t wait to buy “The Dark Knight” on DVD. It’s the best film of the year and I’ll be watching that film a lot at home.

BREAKING NEWS: New Guns N’ Roses song to be included in “Body of Lies” movie…

2 Comments

First Axl Rose gave a new Gn’R song to Rock Band 2, next they give a new song to the movie “Body of Lies” that stars Russell Crowe and Leo Dicaprio, the film is directed by Ridley Scott. Gn’r will release a song titled “If the World” a song from their long awaited album “Chinese Democracy” to the film. The song will be played during the closing credits but it won’t be released on the soundtrack CD of “Body of Lies”. These are really good signs that “Chinese Democracy” may see the light of day this year.

Rollingstone reports:

I plan to see “Body Of Lies” in theater when it comes out ’cause the film looks good. Not because Gn’r has a song in the film now, I’m seeing it because I enjoy Ridley Scott movies.

BREAKING NEWS: BILL MURRAY SAID HE’S GAME FOR “GHOSTBUSTERS 3”!!!!!!!!!

Leave a comment

This is great news!

Bill Murray who attended Fantastic Fest to promote his latest movie the “City of Ember”, he did a Q&A session on stage to answer fan questions from the audience.

Of course, someone just had to ask him if he’s willing to star in “Ghostbusters 3” to reprise his role as Peter Venkmen. Murray says he already knew that “The Office” writers were on board to writing the script. Murray went on explaining that enough time has passed and all the wounds were healed from “Ghostbusters 2”, he went on explaining how the first Ghostbusters film was the best experience in his life.

As we all know, in the past Bill Murray used to be harsh on returning to Ghostbusters 3 saying that he wouldn’t come back in the live action unless it was animated or a video game. In this video, Bill admitted his excitement for a “Ghostbusters 3” live action film grew in him after doing voice overs in the video game, he finds himself singing the Ghostbusters theme song as he’s walking down the street. Then he revealed the big news that he would definitely love to star in “Ghostbusters 3”!!!!!!

See the report at Aint It Cool:

Well Bill Murray is down, three more to go. We now need to hear from Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis if they are still willing to star in it.

We already heard from Ramis, he was the one who revealed that the Office writers were writing the film, but that doesn’t mean Ramis is starring in it, he was pretty quiet on whether he’s starring in it or not.

I’m sure the rest of the cast would be in. Hopefully Sigourney and Rick would be in too.

Film Review: Burn After Reading…

Leave a comment

Starring: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton

Directed by: Joel and Ethan Coen

Just saw the movie “Burn After Reading” this afternoon, the new Coen Bros. movie. I saw this movie ’cause I like the Coen Bros. work and I saw this because Clooney, Pitt and Malkovich are all starring in a movie together which is great casting.

The plot centers on a CIA analyst named Osbourne Cox (who is played by John Malkovich) quits his job after being accused of being an alcoholic when he wasn’t. Then he begins to work on a book based on his life in the CIA. Osbourne’s wife wants to divorce him, she then makes a copy of a computer disc full of his personal and financial files that were in his own privacy.

The disc ends up up at a business called Hardbodies which is a work out gym, Brad Pitt’s character, Chad, first gets a hold of it, he teams up with his fellow co-worker Linda to use the disk to blackmail Osbourne so she can get the money to pay for her cosmetic surgery.

Linda (played by Frances McDormand) is a single woman who dates men off dating services, where she meets George Clooney’s character, Harry. Linda is only using Harry because he is a Treasury (someone who works for the US Government).

Does Osbourne Cox get his personal disc back and does he save himself from getting blackmailed by Linda and Chad? You’ll have to watch the film yourself to find out.

As far as my thoughts on the film, while I do love the Coen Bros. While I do love George Clooney, PItt and Malkovich. I thought this was a bad film. Bad acting. Bad writing. Boring story. Slow pacing. It was a real snooze fest. This is probably the worst film of 2008. I didn’t like it. It’s a shame because the Coen Bros. are great film makers and I loved every film they did until now.

I prefer their earlier work. Their last film “No Country For Old Men” was absolutely amazing. What a dissapointment that they went from Oscar award winning film to a horrible film. Thumbs down to “Burn After Reading”. What was Pitt, Clooney and Malkovich smoking when they signed to this? They probably didn’t like the story either, they probably starred in it ’cause the Coen Bros. directed it.

Score for “Burn After Reading” = * (1 star as in poor)

Report: Warner Bros. greenlights “I Am Legend” prequel…with Will Smith returning…

Leave a comment

Warner Bros. studios has greenlighted a prequel to the hit film “I Am Legend” that stars Will Smith. Since the film made a sky rocketing $584 million worldwide, Warner Bros. wanted to keep the franchise going but since it is difficult to make a sequel of the film, it’s leading character was killed at the end, they had no choice but to make it a prequel instead to keep Will Smith as the leading star.

Will Smith is set to return as Robert Neville and director Francis Lawrence is set to return to direct again.

The prequel will focus on the final days of humanity in New York City before a man-made virus caused a plague that made Neville the only survivor. The prequel will explain why the virus turned human beings into monsters. The film will probably show Neville’s normal life before the city was attacked.

Variety Reports:

Good idea for a prequel. I liked “I Am Legend” it was entertaining. There are lots of unexplained questions in the film that needs to be answered and there is a need of a prequel I think. I’d say bring it on! I’d go see it.

I like the National Treasure films. I’ve seen the first two in theater and will probably end up seeing the third one as well. The 2nd one was ok and pretty fun, but I hope the third one will be a great one this time.

Report: Oprah Winfrey to voice in Disney’s “Princess and the Frog” animated film…

Leave a comment

Oprah Winfrey, America’s legendary TV talk show host will star and do voice overs in the upcoming new Disney animated flick “The Princess and the Frog”. Oprah will voice the character Eudora the mother of the main character Princess Tiana.

The film is set to release sometime in 2009 and will be worked on in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Randy Newman composed some of the music for the film as well.

Oprah has previously done animated work for Jerry Seinfeld’s “Bee Movie” and “Charlotte’s Web”.

More on it here:

http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSTRE48O09920080925

Expect Oprah to plug this movie pretty heavily on her TV show. She’ll invite the entire cast and crew on her show like the last two movies she did.

I don’t really care for Oprah that much but her acting was fantastic in Spielberg’s “The Color Purple” though, that’s the only thing I give her respect for.
