Report: Jack Black to star in “Bourne” parody…

Jack Black will reunite with his “Kung Fu Panda” writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger for an untitled live action comedy with Universal pictures. The film is described as a Jason Bourne parody spoofing off the movies starring Matt Damon. The plot will be about Jack’s character finding himself washed up the shores of Cuba, then he couldn’t remeber who he is and how he got there. He comes to the conclusion that he is a superspy, though in reality he is far from one.

Jack Black’s next movie he will star in is “Year One” directed by Harold Ramis.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

This “Bourne” parody sounds like it’s going to be a LOL riot throughout the whole thing.

Report: Will Star Wars “The Force Unleashed” video game become a movie?

I’m sure everyone knows that new “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” video game is now out in stores everywhere for all video game consoles. The game’s creator and leader, Haden Blackman, made the game because he originally wanted this story to be on the big screen in a movie theater. I believe it was made into a video game instead because there was no deal to make it with George Lucas at the time.

Blackman said it is possible to make this game into a live action movie, and he also says George Lucas has expressed interest making it into a film. The story to “The Force Unleashed” is taking place between Episode III and Episode IV.

More on it here:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2008/09/will-force-unle.html

As much as I’m getting sick of Star Wars, I’ll have to admit that I am interested in playing “The Force Unleashed” video game. I honestly came this close to buying the video game at Best Buy a few times but put it back to get it another time. The game actually looks promising and fun. I think I’ll definitely buy it next time I go to Best Buy.

Reason I didn’t get it yet, is because I have a total of 10 games in my PS3 collection and so far I’ve beaten two of them. I try not to buy a new game since I still need to beat the rest of them.

My ps3 game collection so far:

Grand Theft Auto IV (beaten this game)

Viking: The Battle For Asgard (beaten this game)

FEAR

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

The Bourne Conspiracy

Iron Man

Beijing Olympics 2008

Soul Calibur IV

Metal Gear Solid 4

I’m currently playing “Metal Gear Solid 4” right now. I will get “The Force Unleashed” and will play it sometime down the road after I beat these other ones.

Report: Brett Ratner will bring “God of War” to the big screen…

Film director Brett Ratner said he will bring “God of War” the hit video game a live action adaptation to the big screen.

The man said so himself here:

http://movieblog.ugo.com/index.php/movieblog/more/brett_ratner_making_god_of_war_film_confirmed/

Now just because he made horrible films in the past, I wouldn’t immediately jump in and assume he’s going to make “God of War” a bad film. He could possibly make it a great film if made right.

If Brett Ratner stays true to the video game, it could be great.

I agree with that blog, lets hope Ratner keeps the film rated R for the graphic violence and nudity. Because if you’re a die hard fan of the “God of War” games like myself, you would know that the games are full of blood and violence, and naked women in them too. Yep, the video games have naked women in the “God of War” games with their breasts shown uncensored and everything, lets hope Ratner doesn’t make it PG-13 friendly although I have a feeling he’s going to.

Thought: What songs will Springsteen and the E Street band perform at the Superbowl?

My predictions in order: The show kicks off with the song “Radio Nowhere” (from the album Magic), “Into the Fire” (from the album The Rising), Working On the Highway (the song has a Florida theme to it, Born In the USA), Dancing In the Dark (Born In the USA), and the performance will end with “Born In the USA” the song title track of the album to give the show a political feeling.

Listen to “Working On the Highway” below and see why it would be appropriate if they did this song. Feel free to make your predictions.

Report: Weird Al Yankovic to release new parody for Itunes on Oct. 7th…

Earlier this year, Weird Al Yankovic spoke to Billboard that he plans on releasing his new songs early exclusively to Itunes even before his new album comes out. Weird Al announced he is working on a new album this year, and it will be his first since 2006’s “Straight Outta Lynwood”.

Weird Al announced in his myspace blog that he will release a brand new parody that is considered the number one song in the country. It is obviously a parody of a recent hit song this year.

What new parody that Al Yankovic is releasing to Itunes? What band or artist is he parodying next?

See Weird Al’s myspace blog about it here:

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=90827837&blogID=437292861

My guess:

Kid Rock “All Summer Long”

Katy Perry “I Kissed A Girl”

Metallica “The Day That Never Comes”

Report: Tommy Boy Records indie label joins the myspace hating bandwagon…

Merlin is not the only one hating the new myspace music, you can add Tommy Boy Records to the list. Tommy Boy Records is an independent label, not major, that has mostly hip hop and rap artists to it’s roster. The labels owner and founder, Tom Silverman, also said it’s going to fail and will head to “exodus”.

This is great! LOL! RIP MYSPACE!

Report: Ac/Dc to get their own video game for Rock Band…

Here’s the tracklisting for their Rock Band Track Pack:

“Let There Be Rock”
“Highway To Hell”
“For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)”

Billboard reports:

I probably won’t get this if this is going to Rock Band then. I prefer Guitar Hero more.

Report: Drew Peterson is in the news again, says he can’t explain 3 deceptive questions in polygraph test…

Drew Peterson who is a former Illinois police sergeant who is named a suspect of the disappearance of his 23 year old wife, Stacy Peterson passed a polygraph test against her but failed against three questions. One of them being if he knew the whereabouts of Stacy, when he said “No”, the result came out deceptive.

There will be a book released this week titled “Drew Peterson: Exposed” written by Derek Armstrong, Drew complains that the book focused on the negative side of things of his life when he said it should focus on the positive.

More on it here:

http://www.wbbm780.com/Peterson–New-Book-Misses-The-Positive-Drew/3056321

I’ll probably buy the book and give it a read. The book is full of negativity on Drew Peterson for a reason and I think the asshole deserves the bad publicity.

Him getting all this fame over the missing Stacy Peterson is just pathetic. Everyone knows the loser is responsible. He is not in jail yet because there is no hard evidence proving that he did anything.

I think Stacy will get found either dead or alive. I would prefer she’s alive like everyone else but if she’s dead at least her family members would get answers.

Report: James Cameron has no blessing for “Terminator Salvation” when McG said he did…

James Cameron who is the director of the first two Terminator films, “Titanic”, and the new upcoming film “Avatar” spoke out on the new “Terminator Salvation” that McG is directing. McG has repeatedly said in the past that Jimmy Cameron was involved in helping out with the new Terminator flick and said that Jimmy had McG’s blessing.

Turns out that McG lied. Jimmy Cameron revealed that he is no part of the “Terminator Salvation” flick and never gave McG any blessing.

More on it here:

http://filmonic.com/james-cameron-has-not-given-his-blessing-to-terminator-salvation

Well, lets hope that McG didn’t lie about Arnold being involved too.

While the trailers of “Terminator Salvation” looks impressive, I have a feeling it will be a stinker.
