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

1 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.

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.

Report: Lionsgate confirmed “Rambo V” will be in the works, and will be written/directed by Stallone…

Leave a comment

While this article at the Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Alli Shearmur has left Paramount and she has landed a job to take Lionsgate in the lead as the companies president and boss…the article also says that Lionsgate has Rambo V confirmed with Sylvester Stallone on board to write, direct and star in again.

Quote from the article:

“On the development horizon are “Warrior,” which Gavin O’Connor co-wrote and will direct; “Conan,” a fast-tracked project with multiple scripts in the works; “Severance Package,” with Brett Simon writing and directing; “Rambo V,” to be written and directed by Sylvester Stallone; “Korean Wedding” from writer Jason Filardi; and “Kane & Lynch,” a video game adaptation that will star Bruce Willis.”

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Lionsgate has been confirming Rambo V for a long while now, but Sly Stallone himself has been pretty quiet about it lately. If Lionsgate keeps confirming it, then I guess it’s true.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Sly starts working on Rambo V next because he needs to before he gets too old. I’m glad he’s doing another Rambo.

Rambo IV did leave open for another movie as I would like some answers to the strange ending at the end of Rambo IV.

I hope Sly writes a good plot for Rambo V, he did an amazing job with Rambo IV, I’m sure he won’t dissapoint in V also. Maybe this is why Sly is taking another break from movies ’cause he’s writing a script for the next Rambo, who knows.

Report: John Woo takes a shot in making a sports movie based on Olympics diving…

Leave a comment

Legendary film director John Woo wants to take a break on making action and martial arts flicks by making a strictly sports film based on the Beijing Olympics in the pool diving games. The director held a charity dinner at the Beijing Olympics and he announced that he wants to make a movie with gold medalist divers Liu Xiang and Guo Jingjing.

While John Woo is wanting to make a sports film it may not happen this soon because he is still working on three other films such as the sequel to “Red Cliff”, “1949”, and a new American film called “Caliber” that stars Johnny Depp.

It is not known if John Woo will be on board to direct the Olympic sports film. For now, the man is just producing it.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

He would make a great sports film, glad he’s doing something different.

Report: Who knew that David Duchovny is such a ladies man…X-files star checks himself into rehab for sex addiction!!!!

Leave a comment

The X-Files leading star David Duchovny just checked himself into rehab, not for drugs but to kick his habit against sex. He is admitting to the public that he is addicted to women and sex, the actor is wanting to cut back.

David’s publicist released a statement by David himself saying he wants the public to respect his privacy during this difficult time but David refuses to give details of his private sex life. David is married to actress Tea Leoni and have been married together since 1997. David’s latest film is the X-Files sequel “I Want to Believe” which he reprises his iconic role of Fox Mulder, the film was released earlier this summer.

The Associated Press reports:

Hmmmmmmm…..

This makes me wonder if David banged Gillian Anderson in real life before he married Tea.

He probably did and wouldn’t surprise me if it’s true.

Report: Even directors give their own movies bad reviews, director of “Babylon A.D.” trashes his own film…

Leave a comment

The new film “Babylon A.D.” that stars Vin Diesel and was directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, it appears that he isn’t happy with his new film that the director just made. Mathieu has a lot of harsh and nasty things to say about his film. His original vision of the film was that he wanted the film to be R rated violent but of course the typical FOX wanted the film to be PG-13 and Matthieu couldn’t win the ratings battle over FOX. He also said he hated the script, the film had bad producers, bad partners and calls it a terrible experience. The director says he loves the book though which the film was adapted from.

The film hits theaters this Friday.

To read more on his thoughts on Babylon A.D., read the rest here:

Hmmmm, it is actually nice to finally see a director who is not always proud of his work, he is being honest about it and that’s good. Most directors think all of their films they make are so “great”, but just like a musician or a rock band have to be their own worst critic when they listen to their own music, it’s the same with film makers when they look back at their films too.

Report: Dimension films to move on without Rob Zombie for “Halloween” sequel?

Leave a comment

This blog is claiming that a magazine called Rue Morgue is confirming that Dimension studios could move on to a “Halloween” sequel without Rob Zombie.

To be honest, I am not believing this news as I am calling it a big fat rumour, hey I’m not blaming this blogger for starting the rumour, keep in mind that, magazines can make mistakes too.

I am not believe this news until Rob Zombie himself says he is not doing a “Halloween 2”.

More on it here:

http://joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=13520

I really hope this ain’t true. I really enjoyed the Halloween remake by Rob Zombie. It’s an intense film and love it very much.

If Dimension is serious on ditching Rob Zombie for the sequel, then that would be disgraceful and a shame to the companies part. Rob Zombie made the “Halloween” remake one of the most successful horror film remakes ever made. Before the “Halloween” remake, there were hardily any horror movie remakes then. Now at the world of horror films today, most horror movie classics are all being remade now because Rob Zombie made that happen with “Halloween”. That’s how Rob changed the movie industry.

If it turns out true that Dimension is getting rid of Rob Zombie for the sequel, then I will have no interest in it at all whatsoever.

Report: “Terminator Salvation” means it’s reffering to a character in the title…

Leave a comment

Give this post a read:

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/08/20/terminator-salvation-secrets-lie-within-films-title-says-mcg/#more-3866

The word “Salvation” means protect and to save. So John Connor obviously have to save someone in the 4th Terminator flick.

Come on McG, stop teasing us that Arnold is gonna be in it ’cause we all know he’s in it anyways. We know that entire post is reffering to Arnold’s Terminator character all the way. They aren’t fooling us!

Report: Vin Diesel to direct “Fast and the Furious” prequel…

1 Comment

While Vin Diesel is known as a hollywood actor, I’m sure many of you didn’t know that the man did direct his own films in the past, so he does have directing experience. Vin Diesel announced he is directing a short 20 minute prequel to “Fast and the Furious”. Diesel will star in it of course, along with Michelle Rodriguez as Letty and Sun Kang as Han. Diesel says the prequel will tie in between the second and third movies. Vin Diesel is not sure how he will release this prequel when he’s finished with it, but it’s possible he could release it straight to DVD, the internet, or direct to TV.

It’s great to see that Vin Diesel has got his heart back for the “Fast and the Furious” series.
