Variety reports that “The Dark Knight” made a sky rocketing $300 million so far. “The Dark Knight” is “still” filling up theaters. The theater was full the second time I saw it in theater again.

Lets pray that “The Dark Knight” passes 600 million to knock “Titanic” off of there!
That would be amazing!

MGM studios has just greenlighted to reboot the “Robocop” franchise. Rumours been going strong for a long while that this was a “Robocop” remake. Film maker Darren Aronofsky confirmed it wasn’t a remake, it is actually another sequel, more rumours started that it’s “Robocop 4”.
Turns out that wasn’t true either. The Robocop films are starting over again just like the Batman and James Bond movies are starting over again. Aronofsky has just signed on to direct the reboot of “Robocop”, remember there is a difference between “remake” and “reboot”.
Film makers are keeping the synopsis under wraps but they are taking the new franchise into a different direction. MGM aims for a 2010 release of the first “Robocop” film.

Hope they pick a good actor for Robocop. I still say it should be Peter Weller! Bring him on!

This is one actor I would like to see make a huge comeback to the big screen in the USA.
This man deserves a successful career as well. I hope he comes back with a blockbuster film.
See the trailer for “JCVD” below.

The “Friday the 13th” remake is currently filming right now and the pics on production sets had already started leaking the nets.

Oh my! This movie is looking very promising. Most of the new Friday the 13th movies were pretty bad and looks like they will reboot this franchise.
Jason looks like an actual human in those pictures, not a monster. Very cool and can’t wait to see a teaser trailer!

Warner Bros had just acquired the rights to make “Capeshooters” adapted from the comic books, and Bryan Singer is set to produce “only”, so there is no worries of him doing this instead of the “Superman: Returns” sequel because he is still committed to Superman.

I think it’s amazing how Hollywood never runs out of ideas for comic book films. They are coming out like crazy non stop. Back in the early 80’s, and early 90’s, comic book films weren’t that popular, it was just Superman and Batman back in those days. Now they are trying to make a film based on every single superhero out there.

Lets do the warp again! Yes, that’s right. A “Rocky Horror Picture Show” remake is on the way. The original 1975 musical that starred Tim Curry is being remade by MTV. They will still use the original screenplay from the original film written by Jim Sharman and Richard O’ Brien but the remake will write different songs, not the same ones from the original.

Sounds like a bomber to me. Another pointless remake that doesn’t need an update.

A blogger from the PETA company seems to be offended at the new Batman film “The Dark Knight”. Why? Because there are scenes in the film where Batman is beating up police dogs.
Check out the blog at PETA here:

Come on now, it’s only a damn movie! I’m sure the dogs Batman punched are fine.

While Will Smith may not look like a rich man, he truly is. Will Smith may walk around public hardily ever wearing suits or expensive tuxedos, he just wears normal and casual clothing like all of us. He never rides in expensive limos, he just drives regular cars like all of us. He’s just a normal person that he don’t have to look like a rich person, he’s just being himself like he’s always been his whole life.
Forbes compiled a list of Hollywood actors who make the most money from the movies they make, of course, it’s no surprise to me that Will Smith tops them all. Johnny Depp comes second and Eddie Murphy comes third.
More on it here:

Of course, Will Smith is the richest actor in the world. That is no surprise. The Big Willie style made hit after hit, pretty much all of his movies are hits. I don’t think he ever made a film that bombed once. He’s pretty smart and intelligent at choosing the right films that fits him.
While his acting in films is okay, he is an entertaining actor and that’s what he’s in it for, he’s an entertainer. I’m sure he’s still getting checks from “Fresh Prince of Bel Air”.
