Leave a comment

J.J. Abrams has just wrapped up and finished filming the new “Star Trek” movie, scheduled to release in theaters May of 2009. J.J. Abrams showed a private screening of the film to Paramount Pictures execs and officials of the company only. Paramount says that the film is very impressive and very good. J.J. just needs to finish the last finishing touches of the film and then he’s done with it completely.

The next step is that Paramount is working on it’s first theaterical trailer of the film. A trailer of “Star Trek” with actual footage from the film, not another teaser. The teaser trailer for “Star Trek” was attached to the film “Cloverfield”.

Report: Quentin Tarantino and Britney Spears lawyers shoot down “Pussycat” remake rumours…

Leave a comment

Yes, I know, another Quentin Tarantino post! I can’t help it! He’s one of my favorite film makers! Quentin Tarantino himself and Britney’s lawyers finally got the time to shoot down rumours of the Brit Brit starring in the remake of “Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill”.

Now all the Britney haters can sigh with relief!

I imagine Tarantino will get right to work on “Faster Pussycat” after he completes “Inglorious Bastards”. Since Tarantino is working on “Inglorious Bastards” very soon and quickly.

I’m so happy for Quentin that he’s finally directing his own movies again after a long hiatus!

BREAKING NEWS: Brad Pitt inks deal for “Inglorious Bastards”!!!!!!

Leave a comment

OMG! It’s official! Pitt for “Inglorious Bastards”! Even Pitt’s newborn twins with Angelina isn’t stopping him from working!

Beware, this entire film is going to be in a different language, but the U.S. Soldiers will of course speak English. Pitt will play a Tennessee hillbilly who gathers several Jewish-American soldiers to hunt down Nazis.

I am feeling this film is going to be extremely violent and gory. Looking forward to this film.

Still nothing on Sly Stallone yet. 😦

Report: Eli Roth joins Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards”…

Leave a comment

Quentin Tarantino finally started casting and he should complete the casting pretty quickly before shooting begins. Tarantino confirmed Eli Roth to play the character Sgt. Donnie Donowitz for “Inglorious Bastards”. The character is described as a baseball swinging Nazi hunter. Tarantino worked with Roth a few times before. He worked with Roth for “Death Proof” and worked for the horror film “Hostel” which Eli Roth directed and Tarantino was the executive producer.

Brad Pitt is currently in talks and Tarantino soon plans to meet with Leonardo Dicaprio to star in the film as welll.

How much do you want to bet that Tarantino will also get some of his regulars in the film too like Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, maybe even David Carridine may have a small role. Maybe Uma Thurman too.

But I hope Sly Stallone has a role in this flick as well. That be sweet to see Sly co star along with Pitt and Dicaprio.

Report: George Lucas ditches Mutt Williams for “Indy 5″…

6 Comments

Well, ever since “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” came out in theaters and became a box office smash, Lucas and Spielberg are already planning another Indy film. And thank god for this, you won’t be seeing Shia Labeouf in Indy 5, because it seems that Lucas did not like the character. In the next Indy movie, they want Indy to search for something. Lucas wants Indy to go on the next adventure alone without Mutt or Marion.

While I did love Indy and the Crystal Skull very much, I kind of found Mutt Williams annoying. Frank Darabont’s version of this movie didn’t even have the character in it at all. Spielberg and Lucas have been loving this Mutt Williams character too much that they seem to quickly change their mind.

If “Indy 5” does get the greenlight by Paramount, lets hope they do a different story on the next one. Make the next one not be a sci fi the next time. Because “Indy 4” had a lot of mixed feelings by Indy fans about the sci fi stuff. I personally loved the sci fi being mixed into Indy but most people didn’t.

We need an Indy film that “everybody” can enjoy.

Report: Arnold finally speaks and gives his thoughts on “Terminator Salvation”…

Leave a comment

The Governator Arnold, finally found some free time to speak to the media on his honest thoughts of the new Terminator film that McG is making, “Terminator Salvation”. The film makers have shown him little footage. He says he doesn’t have a feel for it and he wishes McG well on the film.

He also said in this article that he had seen the movies “The Dark Knight”, “Iron Man” and “Wanted (starring Angelina Jolie) and Arnold says he loved the movie “Wanted” very much. He says if you don’t live up to the Terminator series and gives advice that if the film has impressive special effects, the film could dominate box office.

He admits he won’t be seeing the new Terminator film when it hits theaters but hopes the film will be a hit and it sells well.

Beware, if you haven’t seen the movie “Wanted” yet, Arnold kind of gave out the ending a little bit.

More on it here:

Notice Arnold never once brought up anything about him being in the new film. I think he’s keeping things under wraps.
