Adrien Brody vs. The Predators!
The big news about the sequel to Predator is that they signed on a lead role in the film! Yeah it has been confirmed that Adrien Brody will be doing battle as the main character for “Predators”. I am not sure how I feel about this choice yet. It’s a big leap from Arnold but a much better choice than Danny Glover. I guess what we can expect is some better acting than the first two films. But does a Predator sequel really need a good actor? As much as I can’t picture Brody taking on the legendary aliens I’m not too sure who I would want to see cast in the role. Who from todays actors is a wise choice? Do we really need a modern day muscle bound action hero to make this film a worthy sequel? From what is have recently read it seems alot of people think it’s an unwise casting choice. what do you think?
Arnold confrimed to appear in the new Predator sequel!
There were rumors flying a couple months ago all over the internet about the possibiltiy of Arnold Schwarzenegger appearing in the upcoming Robert Rodriquez produced sequel “Predators”. Well now it has been officially confirmed that Arnold will indeed be repirsing his role in a cameo as Dutch. This news was leaked via The Latino Review (make sure to check this link and watch their video about the script) who aquired a 90 page script of the action movie. The script they claimed was “Worthy of the original Predator”. They also confirmed there is a cameo written in for Schwarzenegger that will make fans go wild. Hopefully that means arnold has got a gigantic gun in his hands and telling people to get to the chopper!
Pandorum: A Creature Flick I can get behind!
I am pretty pumped about the upcoming sci-fi horror movie entitled “Pandorum” out Sept. 25th. I love a good sci-fi movie but what I love more is a cool ass monster! So far from this newly released clip of the monster in that movie it looks pretty promising. Not being a fan of CG monsters (sorry Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus) it appears as if in this clip we may have a much more organic feel to the movie’s creature. Check it out:
Rob Zombie to Reboot Again…Re-Blobbed???
Apparently Rob Zombie just can’t get enough of remaking movies. Though I have not seen Halloween II yet, the early word is not good. Now the word on the street is that Mr. Zombo has announced he is slated to direct a remake of the Blob! In an interview with Variety, Rob Zombie indicated, “My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing — that’s the first thing I want to change, that gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now.”
Personally, I thought all of the blob movies were awesome…even the lesser know little Son Of Blob directed by Larry Hagman in the 70’s. But it does raise a good question, why remake everything?? The 1988 version of the blob was excellent for the time and is still one of my favorite horror movies. So Rob, why not just continue on with that story line and continue the germ warfare gone amuck idea in a Blob returns. I guess Rob Zombie has already begun writing the script and production on the film will begin spring 2010. The budget is expected to be around $30 million. That seem small in the days where James Carmeron just announced that Avatar was going to rack up some $450 million, but lets not forget that District 9 was made of this small token of Hollywood dough.
A closer look at “surrogates”!
I ran across this cool featurette on Youtube about the upcoming movie starring Bruce Willis called “The Surrogates”. It is based on the awesome Sci-Fi comic book of the same name that came out a few years back. So far this adaptation looks pretty promising and true to it’s source material. You can find this comic in trade form so if you have not checked this out yet I highly advise you do so. I think it says alot about our current society and how with all the technology out there today many of us are not truely living our lives anymore. We rely on our cell phones, video games and the internet as substitutes for real experiences. This movie and comic book pushes that idea alot further along to what our society someday could look like check this out…
No “Hellboy 3”? Then how about “B.P.R.D.” The Movie?!!
I am totally thrilled beyond belief that Guillermo del Toro is doing The Hobbit, but that also means that there won’t be another Hellboy movie for years! The last Hellboy film was so damn good I was foaming at the mouth for a third movie. So what could they do in between while del Toro is running around middle earth with Frodo?! How about a B.P.R.D. movie already?! In case you live in a cave B.P.R.D. stands for Bureau Of Paranormal Research and Defense. It’s the group that Hellboy and good Ol’ Abe Sapien work for. It’s the group that saves humanity from monsters, ghosts, demons and aliens. It’s also a super rad comic book. And Guess what? It doesn’t feature Hellboy as the main character. Hint, Hint….
District 9 is an Easy 10!
This is not an in-depth review of District 9, this blogger is just not going to attempt on this one. Nor do I want to spoil any of the magic. But hear me now!
Go see District 9 immediately…if you love Sci-Fi, this is hands down one of the best Sci-Fi movie of the last decade.
Not since Enemy Mine has a movie had such an impact on me. The message of the movie is pretty simple to read from the trailer…but the execution is glorious.
Yes, there is CG, but it is damn near flawless.
In the age of remakes, prequels, sequels, re-imagining, or unearthing classics…this is a truly original work of art.
I can’t say enough about this movie. A 10 out of 10…no question.
Get Prepared for the next REAL summer blockbuster!
So this summer so far we’ve had some blockbusters right? Some downright awesome summer movies that just blew you away?! Ones that you will remember for years to come? I remember the first time I saw Jurassic Park. It literally blew my mind! That was a summer blockbuster alright. I am still totally amused by that movie though I have seen it like a hundred times.
So what have we had here in 2009?
Crappy Monsters RULE!!
I just saw this cool little video this morning about crappy movie monsters! Check this out and see what we’re missing out on now that all the crappy monsters are CG! If they are gonna look bad I want em’ this way again! enjoy…
Great News For The Alien!
It has recently come to my attention that they are making another “Alien” movie! Yeah I know what you are all thinking-what movie franchises are they NOT remaking or making a sequel for? Well this new Alien will not be a remake but a prequel. Ok well if that is not cool enough how about the fact that Ridley Scott who directed the very first Alien is on board to direct?! Yeah it’s true and I really think this is the way to go with these sequels that are beginning to pop up all over movie land. The movies plot according to Bloodydisgusting.com so far goes like this:
