Yes, Yes, Yes it's been a while hasn't it?
There are a lot of news worthy bits from the past week or two let me see if I can't run em down:
1. Tim Robbins the latest to see "Green"
The Green Lantern keeps adding star power to an already stellar cast. Tim Robbins will be playing the father of the villain Hector Hammond, Robbins will be playing Senator Hammond and will probably not have a HUGE role but I've always enjoyed Robbins in basically everything I've seen in him. It's also not Robbins first superhero flick as he had a role in the HUGELY POPULAR Howard the Duck...I think he is moving up in the world.
2. The Mission is Impossible...AGAIN!
"I'm in love with J.J. Abrams!!!"
Tom Cruise is confirmed back for another go around as Ethan Hunt, J.J. Abrams is stepping down from directing and instead will be producing along with Cruise. The powers that be are in the process of trying to find another director. The script is being written now based on an idea of Cruise and Abram's thinkings. Personally MI3 is the best of the bunch and having the creative talent from that one still in the mix is a good thing. I 'm down!
3. The Dark Kryptonian
(Tim Burton Anyone?)
Seems DC is serious about getting Superman flying in the right direction as news broke that none other than Christopher Nolan will be "mentoring" a new Superman flick. Mentoring? Thats a new one. I assume he will help get a director/writer/actor in place and maybe even give the script a look through and give a yeah or nay...its certainly a different play but hopefully it works out for the best. I've got some advice for DC in regards to a new Superman flick. GIVE HIM A VILLAIN HE CAN PUNCH!
4. Bill Murray might DIE...
(Best part of this awesome flick)
In Ghostbusters 3 and then become a ghost himself. Those are the words straight out of his mouth. This backs up something that was said awhile back by Sigourney Weaver. He has already played a convincing Zombie so being a ghost shouldn't be a big stretch.
5. Misc Wrap-Up
- Underworld 4 seems to be moving along and seems to be returning Beckingsale (YEA!) and her hubby director to the franchise they started also like everything else its going to be in 3-D
- Mr. and Mrs. Smith is getting rebooted...YEAH
- Avatar taken down (finally) by Dear John (what?)
- The Fast and The Furious returning for "Fast Five" in 2011
I'm quite excited about all these new developments, Frank, especially Tim Robbins joining the cast of the "Green Lantern" movie.
