Report: *sings aloud* “Would you write me a James Bond song, I said, no… no… no…”….

Leave a comment

Pop star Amy Winehouse has pulled out of writing the theme song for the new James Bond movie “Quantum of Solace” for the opening title sequence. Her friend and companion who is also a musician, Mark Ronson said the pair started to work on the song for the film, but decided not to do it anymore because of her personal problems. She is still being addicted to drugs although visiting rehab in the past before, brushes with the law, and dealing with her husband in jail.

Ronson says that Winehouse is not ready to be recording any new music at this current time.

The Associated Press reports:

We’re never gonna get a new Amy Winhouse album if she doesn’t straighten her life out soon.

Amy may had her troubles but at least she is not as bad as Britney Spears. Don’t compare Britney to Amy ’cause both are totally different.

BREAKING NEWS: Ian McKellen will play Gandalf in “The Hobbit”…

Leave a comment

Actor Ian McKellen confirmed to the public he is reprising his legendary role as Gandalf in “The Hobbit”. McKellen is signed to play both “Hobbit” films with Guillermo del Toro being the director of the film. McKellen says this role is too hard to pass up because he loved playing the character in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Sounds like he just can’t wait to get back to it.

You can see Ian McKellen in other films such as the “X-Men” trilogy, “The Da Vinci Code”, “Apt Pupil” and more to list.

Gandalf without Ian McKellen would be wrong so I’m glad he’s back!

This shall break box office records indeed. This is Mel’s first leading role in a film since “Signs” and that film was released in 2002.

Does this mean that Mel will be willing to revive “Mad Max 4” if there ever was one now that he’s back into acting? Lets hope so.

This sounds interesting.

As some of you may or may not know, I have a high amount of interest in UFO’s and aliens. I’m always researching that stuff, and yes, I enjoy watching the new “UFO Hunters” on the History channel every Sunday nights.

I enjoy science and UFO’s is one of my favorite things. I believe they are real and they are out there.

Finally! It’s great to finally see Christian Slater get a big role after years of doing small roles in films. It’s going to be interesting seeing Christian as a villain.

Report: “Superman: Returns” sequel in the news again…

Leave a comment

If you read this website in this Hamilton College webpage, in it hints there will be a Superman: Returns Sequel….

“While he explained that Legendary focuses on commercial projects over independent films, he said that the company seeks to make the stories they tell “elevated” and take the source material seriously. Legendary’s roster of upcoming films includes a wide variety of properties, including Watchmen (from the renowned graphic novel), Akira (a remake of the popular Japanese anime film), a Superman sequel (in
Which Tull hopes to invoke more of the image of “an angry god”), Clash of the Titans, Where the Wild Things Are and a film of Paradise Lost (Tull is particularly interested in the “[story] arc of Lucifer”). Tull is also sponsoring the Legendary Film Treatment Challenge, an upcoming opportunity to submit film treatments to Legendary Pictures for consideration.”

Also Brandon Routh himself, did an exclusive interview with collider website that Brandon is definitely interested in playing Superman still…

See the interview here:

My god. Isn’t it amazing how Brandon looks and talks almost exactly like Christopher Reeve even when he’s not filming movies? I think that’s why Brandon got the job to play Superman in the first place.

What do they mean by turning the next Superman movie into an “angry god”. Are they hinting an intense villain other than Lex Luthor that Superman will fight against? Or will Superman get turned into a villain like he did in “Superman III”?

I’m glad Brandon is still playing the role and it’s great to see a video where he said from the mouth himself to prove that he is still playing the character, my belief just to squash the nasty rumours of him dropping out of the role.

Leave a comment

An actress named Ayelet Zurer has been confirmed to play alongside Tom Hanks for the “Angels and Demons” prequel to “The Da Vinci Code”. Tom Hanks and Ron Howard are now finally back to work on “Angels and Demons” since the writers strike is officially over. She can be seen in other films such as “Vantage Point” and Steven Spielberg’s “Munich”. She is an actress from Israel.

Entertainment Weekly reports:

http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/04/israeli-actress.html

Glad the film is back on a roll! I enjoyed “Angels and Demons” way more than “The DaVinci Code” book. I expect “Angels and Demons” film to be at least three hours since the book is pretty thick.
