Report: Robert Deniro to star alongside Mel Gibson in “Edge of Darkness”…

Leave a comment

Robert Deniro is close to signing a deal to star alongside Mel Gibson in “Edge of Darkness”, a film adapted from a BBC TV mini series. The film is directed by Martin Campbell and shooting begins this month in Massachussetts.

Mel Gibson plays a homicide detective whose 24 year old daughter was murdered on the front steps of his home, he assumed that he was the target, but then he investigates his daughter’s secret life and her past. Deniro will play an operative who helps cleans up the evidence.

Mel Gibson’s last acting role to the big screen was M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs” way back in 2002. Mel then made a vow to stay away from acting and concentrate on directing with such films like “The Passion” and “Apocalypto”. So much for Mel’s acting retirement since he is back in leading roles again.

The question is will Mel do “Lethal Weapon 5” or “Mad Max 4”?

I don’t want another “Lethal Weapon” film but another Mad Max would be great.

BREAKING NEWS: Cheech and Chong bury the hatchet and confirmed to tour again!!!

Leave a comment

After more than 25 years of not getting along and feuding, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, buries the hatchet and ready to tour again with live comedy shows. They tried to reunite before but it failed because the two were always fighting all the time. They finally came to a realization that life is too short to hold negative grudges that they want to do something good before they get any older.

Cheech and Chong are legendary stand up comedians who mostly sang songs about drug use and other obscene adult humor. The two has also made plenty of comedy films such as “Up In Smoke”, “Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie”, “Nice Dreams”, “It Came From Hollywood”, “The Corsican Brothers” “Still Smokin'”, and others.

Awesome! Cheech and Chong rules!

What do you say? One more “Cheech and Chong” comedy film for the big screen? I’d say Hollywood should go for it! 🙂

4 Comments

Since Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson pulled out of writing the opening title sequence for the theme song of 007 “Quantum Of Solace”, musicians Alicia Keys and Jack White has signed a deal to collaborate on writing the theme song together.

The song is titled “Another Way to Die”, Jack wrote the song and produced it himself, will also record drums for it. Alicia will probably play piano and just sing the lead vocals.

The new highly anticipated James Bond flick “Quantum of Solace” hits theaters everywhere Nov. 7th.

Great choice for the Bond theme. I like Jack White and I like Alicia Keys too believe it or not. While I hate today’s pop music, I actually do like a very few pop singers. The pop singers I do enjoy listening to are Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Amy Winehouse and Kanye West.

But on top of that, I’m really looking forward to the new James Bond flick coming out, I will see that one too.

Report: Marvin The Martian gets his own movie for the big screen!

Leave a comment

Marvin the Martian the popular Warner Bros. Looney Tunes character is making his way to the big screen. This is the only character from the Looney Tunes cartoons getting his own film although I have a feeling Bugs Bunny will appear to give excitement for the kids. The project will blend live action and CGI.

Marvin was created by cartoonist Chuck Jones and also made an appearrance in Michael Jordan’s film “Spacejam” that also starred Looney Tune characters which Jordan plays basketball against.

The story focuses on Marvin The Martian film will be a Christmas film, he comes to Earth to try and destroy Christmas but his plans foils after being trapped in a gift box (my guess Bugs Bunny put him in there). No casting, no director and no writers has been signed for this project yet.

While I’m glad Marvin is getting his own movie, couldn’t they come up with a better story? It’s seems like a remake of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”.

It’s great that he’s finally getting this project off the ground, looking forward to it. Could this film possibly dominate box office as the Dark Knight did? It wouldn’t surprise me.

Do you think Sylvester Stallone’s latest flick “Rambo” was too short and you want the film to be even longer? Well you’re in for a surprise! The Digital Bits today confirmed that Sly and DVD producer Cliff Stephenson is in the works of a longer version of 2008’s “Rambo”.

Quote from article:

From our panel at Comic-Con, DVD producer Cliff Stephenson told the audience that he’ll be working on an extended cut of Sylvester Stallone’s “Rambo” for DVD and Blu-ray release sometime in 2009.

Great news! I know Sly filmed a lot more than 90 minutes of the movie! So happy he’s doing a longer version!

This means we’ll get to see a longer version of the final battle scene at the end of the film where Rambo goes nuts!

I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!

Report: Christopher Nolan surprised by success of “The Dark Knight”…

Leave a comment

We’re not the only ones surprised of the huge success of “The Dark Knight”, even Christopher Nolan himself is surprised and didn’t even think the film would be this much of a hit.

More on it here:

Heath Ledger being gone is not the reason for “The Dark Knight’s” success, the reason for the Dark Knight’s success is because it’s the best Batman film ever made, a film with perfection.

While I’m sure everyone went to see it just to see Heath as the Joker, I’m sure people saw it because Batman is such a popular comic superhero character. There’s millions of Batman fans out there.

Report: New “Robocop” movie promises to be R rated…

Leave a comment

With the likes of “Die Hard 4”, “Terminator: Salvation”, and “Beverly Hills Cop 4” all being rated PG-13, the producer of the new Robocop film promises the film will be rated R. That means the film will still have it’s violent content and lots of profanity. While the first two Robocop films were rated R, the third one in the trilogy was PG-13.

Remember, this new Robocop film is not another sequel, it’s a “reboot” which means starting over again.

Very cool, so glad they are considering an R rating, to be an adult oriented Robocop film instead of a family friendly one. That’s the way Robocop should be.
