Like I said before, Hugh Jackman would be a perfect actor to play Roland Deschain the Gungslinger. I can’t see no other actor playing the character and I’m sticking by it. Hope they get him when they start working on the film.

Don’t worry Watchmen fans. I think Warner Bros. will win the battle so the film can get released. I think the release of March will see the light of day. Just hang in there and you’ll see what I mean.

Report: Mark Millar to direct the Superman reboot for Warner Bros.????

Leave a comment

In this interview comic book creator Mark Millar hinted that Warner Bros. is in negotiations with him to direct the new Superman reboot. Miller had a plan for the new Superman for like 10 years and he finally wants to get it off the ground.

He says he wants the new Superman movies to be a 7 hour story split into 3 sequels as a trilogy. He wants it to be a Lord of the Rings like epic.

There’s nothing confirmed yet but Millar hopes to hear something from Warner Bros. in the next few weeks.

Warner Bros. would probably go for him. Millar knows his stuff. I’m sure Millar can make a very good Superman film in a very dark way. If Warner Bros. does sign Mark Millar as the director expect this news to be huge all over media.

I’m kind of feeling sorry and bad for Bryan Singer, but what are you gonna do ya know? This is Hollywood and movie business. I’m sure we’ll be hearing Bryan Singer’s thoughts about Warner Bros. decision about the reboot soon ’cause I’m interested in hearing what he has to say about this. I’m sure he isn’t very happy at all.

Just a thought, although we all know that Craig T. Nelson will never reprise his leading character of Steve Freeling in the film, will Craig have a cameo appearance as a different character in the film? It would be cool if he had a small role in the film. I think it would be appropriate. It’ll be a smart move if they want people to get interested in seeing the remake in theater.

I’m sure she will direct a full blockbuster film soon, she’s just starting out in directing so she will probably make short films for a while.

I’m sure she learned a lot from George Lucas and he is probably the one that inspired her to get into directing.

2 Comments

Bruce Springsteen the boss of rock n’ roll have written songs strictly for movies in Hollywood before. One song is “Streets of Philadelphia” for the film “Philadelphia”, and the other one is “Secret Garden” for the film “Jerry Maguire”. Both of those tunes became major hits even though they weren’t included on any of Springsteen’s albums, just for the soundtracks alone.

Springsteen wrote an original song for Darren Aronofsky’s next film “The Wrestler” for the closing credits, Springsteen wrote a song for the film under the same title of the movie.

In other movie projects, Springsteen lands his first acting role for a small cameo in a film titled “Funny People” which is a comedy film. The screen writer written Springsteen in the film for a hilarious scene. Springsteen never had an acting role before.

Report: Fox vs. Warner Bros. feud heats up over “Watchmen” movie…Fox wants to bring battle to Federal court…

Leave a comment

Here we go. Fox is not giving up and Fox still vows to prove that they own the rights to the “Watchmen” film that Warner Bros. already made before them. Fox is not giving up until “Watchmen” is canned from getting released.

Just last Friday, lawyers for Twentieth Century Fox submitted reports to move this battle to Federal court. Warner Bros. argued that Fox don’t have the right to stop the film from getting released. Paramount and Legendary Pictures who are Warner’s partners, spent more than $100 million to get the film made, a high budget indeed, and the film was directed by Zack Snyder, the same man who made the iconic Greek mythology film “300”.

Here is a big FUCK YOU to FOX studios. Keep your head up high Warners, don’t let FOX bring you guys down, FOX, those greedy bastards. Heh, no wonder Twentieth Century Fox films is acting like this because that company is owned by News Corp which means Rupert Murdoch owns Twentieth Century Fox as well.

Warner Bros. will win and get the film released! I’m sure of it!

Report: Dolph Lundgren’s “Command Performance” teaser trailer and website up now!!!!

Leave a comment

Several months back, I reported that action hero Dolph Lundgren is about to make a huge return to hollywood mainstream with an action film titled “Command Performance”, the film is written and directed by Dolph Lundgren himself, and he also plays the leading role. Dolph plays a drummer in a rock n’ roll band in the film and when the band plays a concert in Moscow, the concert gets ruined by mercenary leader Oleg Kazov (the main villain of the film, Dolph is the hero) kidnapping people for ransom, Dolph’s character is trying to save a female popstar’s life from armed mercenaries.

No release date of the film have yet to be announced but it should be coming out in 2009. The film will be huge I think and will get a nationwide release, this is a long time coming for Dolph! The film is being made by Nu Image/Millenium. Somehow I get this feeling that Sylvester Stallone helped Dolph release this film through that company.  

See the official website of the film here:

See the teaser trailer in better quality in the video below. Dolph is at the drumset by the way.

Report: Brett Ratner wants to make a film based on Guitar Hero video games…

Leave a comment

The X-Men and Rush Hour director Brett Ratner spoke with MTV News announcing that he is dying to make a film adapted from the Guitar Hero video games. He says he is a huge fan of the Guitar Hero games and he loves playing the games himself.

He already has a plot idea for the film and he says the film will be about a kid who lives in a small town, he dreams of being a real life rock star, his dream comes true by winning a Guitar Hero game competition.

Brett Ratner not only wants to direct “Guitar Hero” film, he also maybe be on board to direct another popular video game into a movie which is the “God Of War” video game to be made into a film.

More on it here:

Activision should not let Hollywood do a movie on Guitar Hero. The videogames market the Guitar Hero franchise on their own fine, they don’t need Hollywood movies.

And on top of that, a Guitar Hero movie would suck anyways, no matter who is directing it.
