Report: Stephen King, the man himself, speaks on the big screen version of “The Stand”!!!

Leave a comment

Stephen King himself, is quick on responding to “The Stand” remake that is greenlighted to hit the big screen. King wrote to Entertainment Weekly, speaking his honest thoughts, and they aren’t too kindly either. He says, no actor would be able to top the performance of Gary Sinise as Stu Redman, he thought Gary’s performance was the best. King suggest  Jake Gyllenhaal to take over the role. King admits he never knew about this until the news hit hard on the internet, so King obviously browse the web like all of us. Even King knows that this would be tough to make this a 2 hour movie, but he said a trilogy could work. He wants Billy Bob Thornton to play the Trashcan Man. He also joked there would be a lot of heavy metal music for the soundtrack.

Read more on it,  here.

Ouch! Sounds like he’s not too happy with the remake and likes the  mini series better! Even King can be critical of his own projects!

Report: Stephen King’s “The Stand” big screen version on the way…

Leave a comment

Warner Bros. and CBS, have teamed up to bring Stephen King’s, “The Stand” to the big screen. “The Stand” was first brought to us in 1994 with a mini series that starred Gary Sinise, as Stu Redman, the leading character. The studios will sit down with directors and writers, to find the right take for the big screen version. Mosaic and Roy Lee are producing. Stephen King, the man himself, will be involved in some way, nobody knows yet.

“The Stand” is an apocalyptic story that tells of a plague virus which killed most Americans, leaving only some survivors. The survivors try their best to survive while they fight off the evil antagonist, Randall Flagg. Randall Flagg, was responsible for sending out that plague.

The Hollywood reporter, reports.

Honestly, I always thought, “The Stand” needed a big screen movie instead of small screen. Glad they finally considered it! The TV mini series sucked because they left so much out of the book. I think “The Stand” theater version should be a three part trilogy, and each film being three hours long, so they can fit everything in.

I don’t want Frank Darabont directing this. “The Green Mile” was a great movie, but “The Mist” sucked so bad. Darabont would ruin this one too. I’d say give this one to a talented director, like Christopher Nolan, Darren Aronofsky or Ridley Scott. “The Stand” big screen version should also be R rated, not leaving out the swearing, the violence, and gore.

Who should play Stu Redman? Should Gary get it again? Nah. I’d say give it to Christian Bale or Ethan Hawke.

BREAKING NEWS: Henry Cavill officially casted as Clark Kent/Superman!!!!

Leave a comment

Christopher Nolan have announced today that Superman have officially been casted. An unknown actor by the name of Henry Cavill have been officially chosen to play the role of Clark Kent and Superman for the upcoming “Superman” reboot by Warner Bros., Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan. As you can see Henry resembles Christopher Reeve, a little bit, they both look alike.

Deadline, reports.

Wow. Warner Bros., and Chris Nolan are hard at work on both “Superman”, and “Batman”. I’m impressed! That is called multi-tasking. First the Batman villains have been casted and now Superman have been casted. Now that we all know who Superman is, we will know who the “Superman” villains will be very soon! I can’t wait to see who the villains for “Superman” will be. Just like everyone else, I hope they won’t use Lex Luthor or General Zod again either. We want a fresh and new Superman villain. A villain that haven’t been used in films before, like Darkseid or Doomsday would be cool.

Thought: My thoughts on “Wonder Woman” returning to the small screen…

Leave a comment

So NBC have finally picked up David E. Kelly’s “Wonder Woman” to return to the small screen. It’s official signed and done. I’m sure some of you want to know my thoughts on this so here it is. If they want this to be successful, to last several seasons, then there needs to be good writing of course. Plus, most importantly, they must have an actress to play Wonder Woman/Diana Prince who is hot and sexy looking. The actress must have large boobs and the character must show cleavage.

If they cover “Wonder Woman” up and not let her show skin, then the show will fail. Bad writing, the show will fail. It’ll last for one season like the “Bionic Woman” reboot did.

I hope the show will be successful. I think NBC is doing this to see how popular “Wonder Woman” is today. If the new TV series is a hit, then I’m sure WB’s will get right to work on the “Wonder Woman” film for the big screen.

Hopefully the new “Wonder Woman” TV show will be good. Of course, I will watch the first episode when ever it makes it’s premiere. My question is how will the show be? Will it have action and violence? Or will it be a strictly drama, like “Smallville”?

We’ll have to wait and see how this show plays out.

Thought: Who will be the main villains for Zack Snyder’s “Superman”???

Leave a comment

 

Now that we know the main villains for Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight: Rises”, we will soon know the villains for “Superman: The Man of Steel” by Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan/Warner Bros. I remember a while back they won’t be using General Zod, ’cause they shot down the rumors of General Zod this past year.

Look at this list of Superman enemies…

Predict which villains you think they will use. Here are my picks…

  • Brainiac
  • Doomsday
  • Lex Luthor (again)
  • Darkseid
  • Eradicator

I personally would like to see them use, Darkseid, the most. Imagine what Zack Snyder could do with the Darkseid character.

They haven’t even casted anybody for Superman yet, so we will know who will be playing Superman first before we know who the villains are. They’ll give us more Superman news soon, I hope.

Report: Clint Eastwood set to direct his first ever musical film for the big screen, starring Beyonce…

Leave a comment

This maybe hard to believe, but it’s true. Clint Eastwood is set to direct his first musical film for the big screen, he will do “A Star Is Born” remake. Beyonce Knowles is set to star the leading role. Many people don’t know this, but Clint Eastwood is a music lover and musician himself. Yes, that’s true. Eastwood composed music for his own films. Eastwood wrote the scores for “Mystic River”, and “Changeling”. He also wrote the song for the end credits of his own film, “Gran Torino”. That’s probably why Warner Bros. hired Clint to do the film because of his knowledge with music. Clint will probably write the music for “A Star Is Born” too.

Clint’s never done a musical before, so this is something new definitely. With the success of musical films such as “Chicago”, “Mamma Mia” and “Burlesque” winning awards, maybe Clint is trying to get into the award thing.

This may seem weird that Clint is doing this, I think he signed on to this project because this is something he always wanted to do. Make a musical.

BREAKING NEWS: Anne Hathaway is Selina Kyle, Tom Hardy is Bane in “Dark Knight: Rises”!!!

Leave a comment

Well, finally. Warner Bros and Christopher Nolan announced “The Dark Knight: Rises” villains today. Who are they? Anne Hathaway has been casted as Selina Kyle and Tom Hardy is Bane.

Read the press release by Warner Bros., here.

Carefully read the press release. Notice how the press release said, Anne will be playing Selina Kyle, and Catwoman’s name wasn’t mentioned. Does this mean Selina Kyle won’t be in the Catwoman costume? It is widely known that Catwoman’s real identity is Selina Kyle.

As for Bane is a good choice of a villain and in my website here, I’ve been saying that they should use Bane. Bane is a big and muscular villain, a wrestler physique type of villain. Bane only becomes big and muscular with a drug called, “Venom” when injected. If you think Tom Hardy isn’t fit for the role, have you seen shirtless pics of Tom online? The guy is fucking MASSIVE! He’s perfect for Bane.

Shirtless pic of Tom here:

That’s probably why he was hired because of his massive physique. Plus Tom played the villain a lot in other movies in his career and he does play a psychotic villain, that’s probably another reason he was hired, his acting talent.

Look like Tom will have to bulk up some more for this role. Remember, Bane was the first Batman villain to destroy Batman, break the Bat. So this is a great way to end the trilogy. I’m excited for the next Batman flick. Now they have the villains for the next Batman movie, I’m sure we’ll know who the villains will be for Zack Snyder’s “Superman” very soon!

Thought: Why has Christopher Nolan been quiet on Batman/Superman news lately?

Leave a comment

We all know that Christopher Nolan is hard at work at both Batman and Superman films for Warner Bros. but why has he been quiet on both films, you wonder? I think he’s keeping secrets and surprises from us that we shouldn’t know about yet.

So far, Chris has told us:

  • Superman – Zack Snyder has been hired director. Story will focus on the earlier days of Superman, mostly about Clark Kent. It will not be a remake of the earlier films and won’t be adapted from the comics of any kind.
  • Batman – Tom Hardy is set to play a main character, but didn’t say whether he will be playing a villain or a good guy character. There will be two female roles, one for female villain and the other for Bruce Wayne’s love interest. Several actresses have already been lined up for the actress roles. The film will also not be in 3-D. The Riddler will not be the villain.

That’s all the information we know so far.

Movie news will be slow around the Holiday season, so I’m sure Chris will tell us more in 2011, the new year. We still need to know the plots for both films and who the villains will be. We will know all that stuff soon. I know, I hate how they are not giving us more news, but it’s understandable, it’s hollywood.

Thought: What would the Batman movies be like without Christopher Nolan???

Leave a comment

Chris Nolan announced the sad and not so surprising news that he’ll be quitting the Batman movies, after the “Dark Knight: Rises“. Warner Bros. will probably continue to make more Batman movies without Chris, but it makes you wonder what would happen if a director other than Chris helms a Batman movie? Here’s what I think. Nobody can make a better Batman movie than Christopher Nolan, period. I think we all know that. I’m a little worried that when Chris Nolan leaves after “DK: Rises”, the Batman franchise will go back to making crap movies again. Maybe a different director can make a good Batman movie, who knows…if a different director does happen to make a good Batman movie without Nolan being involved, it could be possible, but no other director could top Nolan. Nolan made the Batman movies the way they are supposed to be.

Hell, I’m even a little nervous about Chris Nolan’s “DK: Rises” flick that he’s planning. You’ll never know that the “DK: Rises” could turn out to be a shit movie or might turn out ok, but nothing will be better than ‘The Dark Knight” with Heath Ledger. I think, “The Dark Knight” is the best Batman movie out of all of them made from the past. I don’t just like, “The Dark Knight” just for Heath Ledger’s performance alone, he was great, don’t get me wrong. I like the whole movie overall ’cause it told a great story and the action was just amazing.

Don’t expect anybody to make a great Batman movie ever again. “The Dark Knight” was a very special film in so many ways. “The Dark Knight” should have gotten BEST PICTURE for the Oscars as well which didn’t make it that year. “The Dark Knight” was just a perfect Batman film, that I’ll never get tired of watching it. “Rises” won’t be any better, I bet your money on it. People want the next Batman flick to be better, but I don’t think it will happen. That’s how powerful, “The Dark Knight” film really is.

Just my 2cents folks, just don’t get all excited about “Rises” this soon.

Thought: Anne Hathaway as Lois Lane? Please not her!

Leave a comment

Rumors hit the internet, that Anne Hathaway could be the top contender to play Lois Lane in Christopher Nolan/Zack Snyder “Superman” for Warner Bros. My thoughts? I think that’s a bad choice. I like Anne Hathaway. She’s a good actress, but she won’t be good for Lois Lane.

I think the new Lois Lane should be similar to Margot Kidder’s Lois Lane from the earlier “Superman” movies. Margot Kidder obviously played the best Lois Lane, no other actress could top her. Lois Lane is a lady that is always aggressive and she’s one tough lady. She’ll do anything to get an article or photos for the Daily Planet newspaper no matter how dangerous things are. Anne Hathaway doesn’t fit. She’s not aggressive and mean enough. Lois Lane is supposed to be like that. Plus, Lois Lane isn’t supposed to be all that sexy and beautiful.

I’d go for actresses such as Michelle Williams, Scarlett Johannson or Hillary Swank. Lois needs to be played by an actress with talent.

I think it would be cool if Margot Kidder herself, made a cameo appearance in the new “Superman” movie Zack Snyder is doing. Maybe not her as Lois Lane, but a small role for Margot. Yes, Margot is still alive and well.

I also hope that new rumored Superman plot, where Clark goes to West Africa is a complete lie. If the West Africa plot is true, then the plot will suck. It should be taken place in Metropolis. No Smallville stuff ’cause we’ve seen enough of that already. I’m sure Zack and Chris won’t disappoint us with the plot. It’s interesting to me how they are keeping quiet on everything. I’m patiently waiting to hear more about Superman. Who’s going to play Superman and other cast members. I need to know the plot, who the villains will be. We’ll know all that stuff soon. Hope they don’t make us wait long.
