Ghostbusters 3: new Harold Ramis interview!
Her’s a great interview with Harold Ramis talking about the upcoming “Ghostbusters 3” movie! Yeah it really is happening and it sounds from the interview that he has a good grasp on what has and hasn’t worked in recent revival movies. I guess we will have to wait and see but I think from his perspective on things it’s going to be done tastefully. In a world jam packed with terrible CG it seems that maybe this new Ghostbusters flick may end up having hopefully a bit more of an organic old school feel. Check this out!
CURRENT SCOOP ON UPCOMING MARVEL MOVIES!
So what heck has been up with the upcoming Marvel Movies lately? We still haven’t heard too much about the Mighty Thor movie and we STILL don’t know who officially has been cast as Captain America! I have heard rumors of Will Smith, Brad Pitt and Leonardo Dicaprio but still no offcial confirmation of just who will de donning the red white and blue. Well I just stumbled upon some news about these movies last night on Firstshowing.net and it’s getting me pumped about these new feature films. he’s what they had to say:
“Marvel’s president of production Kevin Feige confirmed that Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston were officially cast in Thor. He spoke very highly about both actors, but focused more on Hiddleston, who plays the villain Loki. Feige explained that finding a classic villain that could be sustained over the course of many films and provide the hero with a challenge while also being a mirror of that hero himself was very tough. “Loki has those aspects.” He also did say that Thor takes place on both modern Earth and other worlds like Asgard, confirming what we heard the other day about Donald Blake not being a part of the story and the setting be primarily Earth. And lastly, he said that director Kenneth Branagh would not let them use any classic Shakespearian dialogue like was often used in the comics.
Daybreakers! Vampire Farmers!
I am not sure if anyone has seen the movie “Undead” from about five years ago but it was a pretty amazing comedic zombie movie with a neat twist. It was the first movie by the Spierig brothers and it was a good one. I have been curious what they have been up to since then and was pretty pumped to find out that they do have their second movie on the way and it looks pretty epic. “Daybreakers” stars Ethan Hawke, Sam Neil and Willem Dafoe and is a Vampire flick with a pretty cool premise.
Tim Burton’s Alice in wonderland…..
Well as you may or may not already know Tim Burton is attempting to tackle Alice In Wonderland and guess what? It stars Johnny Depp. Thankfully Burton has decided NOT to cast him as Alice though I am sure that he was considering it at some point! I am really wondering if he is going to be able to pull this one off. I hope to god it’s nothing like his absolutely wretched remake of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” or his completely lame version of the sci-fi classic “Planet Of The Apes”. We’ll see where he takes this one but so far the still look pretty breathtaking …
“Ghostbusters 3” news!
There’s been ALOT opf hype lately about the return of the Ghostbusters! Especially since the recent arrival of the Ghostbusters video game which all the original ‘Busters voiced. It seems that all of the original cast members are all back for a third feature film with Rick Moranis only to be rumored and I believe fiming is to begin later this year. I am not sure about everyone else but I’m all about some good nostalgia! I really enjoyed the last Indiana Jones film and I get alot of shit for it all the time. I usually welcome good bands reuniting if at the very least just to see what happens and if they can actually pull it off successfully. So naturally I am pretty excited to see what they do with this new Ghostbusters movie.
It’s Fathers Day with “the Stepfather”!!
Well it’s Father’s Day! To really bring some good vibes on this lovely day I thought it would be nice if here at Universal Dork we spent some quality time with one of our favorite movie dads-The Stepfather!! Man did he have it rough! All he ever wanted was a good wholesome american family and some damn respect!! Instead what does he get? A wife and kid who who constantly piss him off! Let’s face it The Stepfather had to make ALOT of sacrifices to make his family perfect-so what if he had to kill a few people along the way right? Why does everyone got to constantly step to The Stepfather. He even came back from the dead and returned for more damn fatherin’ in a sequel! How dedicated is that? Well let’s take a moment here to remember some good time spent with Terry O’Quinn, LOST’s John Locke, as he shows all the real dads out there how to handle a small family disagreement!
aw man….a Teen Wolf Remake?!! No…please…
Teen Wolf is such an awesome movie and has been one of my favorite 80’s flicks forever! Michael J. Fox as the coolest werewolf in school?! Playing basketball as the Wolf was the best idea ever plus he looked super bad ass in that yellow tank top and shorts! Then they made made “Teen Wolf Too” which ended up as one of the lamest movies ever with Jason Bateman. Well now word on the street from Moviehole.net is that Teen Wolf is indeed up for a remake! This I think is a bad idea. Haven’t they learned yet that remaking every cool movie and making it a peice of shit isn’t a good idea?
From adventureland to Zombieland!
Remember when Woody Harrelson attacked that papparazzi guy and then said that it was because he thought that dude was a zombie? Well the official trailer for the movie he was filming, Zombieland, can finally be seen! As far as zombie movies go I have said before that they’ve been beat pretty heavily into the dirt since the arrival of “28 Days Later” which started the whole craze like never before years ago. Hey we got some good zombie flicks since then haven’t we? I guess also you could say “Shaun of the Dead” really got the Zombie Horror back on the map as well. Well judging from the new trailer for “Zombieland” it seems very possible maybe Hollywood has at least one last cool horror comedy left in them!
Yeah Zombieland looks fun as hell from the trailer and it also features Jesse Eisenberg as well in his second movie involving running around theme parks. Check out this out and find out what exactly made ol’ Woody into a real life slayer of the living dead!
DEADWORLD movie!! One of BEST zombie comics to hit the big screen!
It really surprises me how many people have never read or for that matter even heard of the awesome 1987 comic book Deadworld! This is a great apocolyptic zombie tale that follows a group of Teens traveling in a school bus cross country on the run from the undead. There is a twist though, a group of zombies have gained human intellegence and this gang rides around on Harleys, speak their mind and are led by a bad ass undead biker named “King Zombie” who’s determined to open the gateway to Hell on Earth!
4 Horror flicks you didn’t know you were excited for!
Being a big horror fan I always looking forward to possible awesome new movies! So right now here the ones I have been hearing the most about that look pretty promising. I doubt most of these will have a theatrical release here but that just means that they’ll probably be that much better than most of the movies passing in the theaters today as horror. Check out these trailers:
“Trick R’ Treat” is supposed to be an awesome throwback to movies like “Creepshow” that had several creepy tales in one movie. This is something that most movies today can’t seem to get right. I’ve heard alot of great things about this one across the board! It’s coming out sometime in October…
