Report: “Shutter Island” pushed back to Spring of 2010…

The new horror film, “Shutter Island” that was directed by Martin Scorsese and stars Leonardo Dicaprio has been pushed back to a later date. It was originally scheduled for releas Oct. 2nd, but Paramount pushed it for Feb. 19th of 2010. The studio did this ’cause they were having economic problems.

It’s a good move because with the Michael Jackson, “This is It” movie being released that month, MJ will destroy all movies released in Oct. for box offices anyways.

I actually want to see “Shutter Island”, it looks good.

Report: “Secret of Nimh” to return to the big screen with new adaptation…it’s not a remake of the original film…

MGM studios first brought us, “The Secret of Nimh” which was directed by Don Bluth and was released in the year 1982. “Secret of Nimh” animated film was adapted from the famous children’s book, “Mrs. Frisby and the rats of NIMH” by Robert C. O’ Brien. The character of the female mouse, Mrs. Frisby was renamed, Mrs. Brisby for Don Bluth’s film.

In the new, “Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH”, story will be entirely focused on the original book. This is an adaptation from the novel, it is not remake. They plan to make this new movie a mixture of both live action and animation. The new “NIMH” movie will be brought to us by Paramount Pictures.

This was one of my favorite films as a child. I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid. The new “Nimh” movie could be good if made right, as long as they stay true with the novel which the Don Bluth version didn’t, then it could be really good.

BREAKING NEWS: JJ Abrams “Star Trek” is now biggest “Star Trek” film in history!!!

You’ve been reading my blogs about the new “Star Trek” movie ever since it’s been announced. I’ve been predicting since then, that “Star Trek” was going to beat out the rest of the Star Trek movies in the box office. See? What I tell you? It actually happened!!!! JJ’s “Star Trek”, the biggest Star Trek film ever!!!!!! Congratulations, JJ! That man saved the “Star Trek” franchise big time. This is only the beggining as Star Trek will get even bigger in the future.

George Lucas must be pissed right now. Will he do another Star Wars trilogy to compete with Paramount on Star Trek? Wouldn’t surprise me.

Report: “Indy 5” confirmed to be moving forward…

Lots of teases and rumours going around for a long time that “Indy 5” is in the works. Talks of an Indy 5 has been going ever since, “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” hit theater. Producer Frank Marshall, confirmed the news that “Indy 5” is in the works.

It’s no surprise to me ’cause Harrison, George and Steve has been talking about it for a long time.

As long as they don’t use the Indy passing the torch to Shia idea, I’m all for an Indy 5. Lets hope they make the next Indy more like “Raiders” or “The Last Crusade”, and stay away from the silly popcorn action and make a serious Indy movie for once.

I LOVED “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, great film, but I would like the next Indy movie that all Indy fans would love. “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” is a movie you either love or hate, we need the next Indy film that we ALL could love. SO DON’T FUCK IT UP NEXT TIME GEORGE AND STEVE!!!

BREAKING NEWS: Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures officially buries the hatchet, brings J.J. Abrams onboard to produce, “Mission Impossible IV”!!!!!!

Back in 2006, Summer Redstone, terminated his longtime relationship with hollywood movie star, Tom Cruise and now they are in good terms. Tom Cruise was banned from making movies with Paramount Pictures but NOT anymore. The studio signed Tom Cruise to star in, “Mission Impossible IV”, and Tom Cruise himself brought, J.J. Abrams onboard to produce.

There is no word whether or not J.J. will be directing again, he is just producing this one for now. Summer Redstone explains he healed the friendship with Tom and seems they are getting along again.

Paramount Pictures has also greenlighted, a sequel to JJ’s “Star Trek” and a third “Transformers” film.

I was never really a fan of the Mission Impossible series, but this is great news to hear that Paramount put their differences aside for Tom.

Tom needs to stop being a jackass in the media, focus on his movies and not being such a big media whore.

Tom is a good actor, I liked him in “Tropic Thunder” and “Valkyrie”. Of course, I like Tom’s older films too. He is somewhat of a douche, but I hope he just improves his personality so he can get my respect back. It’s good to see Tom getting his career back on track.

Report: Michael Bay denies 2011 release for “Transformers 3”, it’s being released in 2012…

Michael Bay corrected the mistake on the release date that Paramount Pictures made. Paramount announced that “Transformers 3” is being released in 2011, but Michael said it’s being released, 2012. He says he wants to take a year off of directing Transformers films. I can’t blame him! Sounds like he’s getting tired of it already!

“Transformers 2:  Revenge of the Fallen” hits theaters June 24th, and looking forward to seeing that film as well.
