“James Bond” Franchise May Have New Future With Spyglass?
There has been a lot of talk over the past few months concerning the demise of MGM, and the properties it holds. The big properties in question are the James Bond series, which earlier this year had Sam Mendes signed on for a twenty-third installment, and Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings prequel, The Hobbit. [...]
Daniel Craig Cast in “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”
Daniel Craig, the actor who has risen to fame playing the latest incarnation of James Bond, has been cast as Mikael Blomkvist in the Hollywood adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Craig who up until recently has been tired to the Bond series, found a hole in his schedule as MGM canceled the [...]
Peter Jackson Begins Casting “The Hobbit”
The Hobbit has seen it’s fair share of troubles lately. First was Guillermo Del Toro leaving the production as director, and the other big problem is their studio MGM, which has seen enormous money troubles lately, culminating with their cancellation of Bond 23. Despite all this director Peter Jackson has begun quietly talking to actors [...]
“Bond 23″ Delayed Indefinitely Due to MGM Problems
Tough luck, Sam Mendes. Earlier this year Sam Mendes was tapped to helm the yet unnamed 23rd James Bond film. (Read our article here.) Now it appears him and star Daniel Craig will have to find some new work. Due to troubles at MGM the film has been shelved indefinitely. “Due to the continuing uncertainty [...]
‘Red Dawn’ remake to be like ‘Call of Duty’?
Sounds like a cool concept. I was kind of wondering what they were going to do with it this time around. There is no Cold War going on, but there is some pretty interesting turmoil in our foreign affairs. Although, the concept seems even more far fetched than the original. From THR.com’s Risky Business blog: [...]
‘Hobbit’ begins casting this week!
I’m sure the wait is killing many of you. It is hard to believe it has been six years since the last Tolkien film. I had fully expected The Hobbit to be rolling into theaters by this time. Although lawsuits and busy directors have set it back. So, unfortunately we have another couple years to [...]
‘The Howling’ is to be reborn.
I bet you’d never guess that Hollywood would do another horror remake? Ha, just kidding the executives are going bleed every horror franchise dry. Expect crappy remake after crappy remake. Why? Well, because it is easy and cost effective. None of these will be breaking box office records, but they will however make their money [...]
Adam Sandler to play ugly woman.
Ok, what Sandler really is doing is playing two roles in his next film, Jack and Jill. He will play both title characters. I can’t imagine Sandler being a good looking woman. Apparently $49 million dollars will be going into the budget to correct this problem. Just kidding of course, I’m sure it will be [...]
Legendary Pictures picks up Warren Ellis’ ‘Gravel’
This is great news. Although, if I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard of a Ellis story being adapted for the screen, and never coming to fruition. I’d have at least twenty-five cents by now. Ellis’ stories are very hard to adapt for the screen. Why? Well, because they are incredibly nihilistic and [...]
Darren Aronofsky Moves Forward With BLACK SWAN, ROBOCOP Stays Quiet
For a while now, Darren Aronofsky has been connected to two projects – ROBOCOP and BLACK SWAN. But it looks like there is a chance that Arnofsky may drop the “robo-reboot” to concentrate on “Swan,” as it is the project that is getting closer to becoming a reality. Natalie Portman has already solidified the lead [...]
