PREDATOR RE-BOOT?

Robert Rodriquez and his Troublemaker Studios will be producing a "Predator" reboot for 20th Century Fox. The outline released makes it sound like there will be more than one Predator (unlike just the one in the original) "In the reboot a team of commandoes face down a mysterious race of vicious monsters." No writer has been attached yet - and there is no script. No word on whether or not Rodriquez will direct, but it seems highly unlikely considering how many projects he has in development.

GOOD GOD PEOPLE!!!! Are you seriously OUT OF IDEAS?? Why reboot a franchise with only two movies? The first one is a classic and the second one was decent. They can take the Predator character almost ANYWHERE. I know because I used to read the Dark Horse comic books. Why reboot it if there are at least 100 diffrent ideas for a sequel? Plus I love Robert and his films but can you imagine a Predator movie being produced by the director of Spy Kids?

A PREQUEL TO "THE THING"????

Variety has confirmed a Bloody-Disgusting scoop that said commercials director Matthijs van Heijningen will direct a prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 horror-thriller "The Thing".

The studio has set "Battlestar Galactica" executive producer Ron Moore to write the script.The new project borrows heavily from the John W. Campbell Jr. short story "Who Goes There," the basis of the Carpenter film and 1951 Howard Hawks original "The Thing From Another World".

It is set in a Norwegian camp and chronicles how the alien was first discovered and overcame the inhabitants of that camp. Strike Entertainment's Eric Newman and Marc Abraham are producing. David Foster will be executive producer


Ok first off my favorite horror movie is "The Thing". When I first heard they were planning a remake (of a remake?), I was really worried!! So now when I heard they are planning a prequel Im actually excited for it. Because even if its bad I dont have to watch it and it wont effect the greatness of the original. Its very possible that they CAN do a great job on this movie also if they just do it right (for once)!

Movie Review: Henry Poole is Here

In a working class neighborhood in Los Angeles, a world weary Henry Poole buys a house, caring little about its lack of amenities. He drinks and eats pizza. Recent stucco work has left a brown stain in a patio wall, and, to Henry's irritation, Esperanza, a neighbor, is certain she can see the face of Jesus in the stain. Soon after people start flocking in and believing that this stain is the miracle they have all been looking for. But why is it Henry wont believe?





I thought this movie was fantastic! I thought all the performances were spot on especially Luke Wilson, who has had great roles (Old School) and roles I would like to forget (Idiocracy). He played a character I had never seen him play, a down and out person in need of hope..... and he nailed it. The ending of this movie was the closest I had came to shedding a tear in a long time. Henry Poole has found his way into my collection. I say this movie is highly recomended!

DAKOTA FANNING IN TWILIGHT SEQUEL?

Yesterday Dakota Fanning confirmed that she is "in talks" with playing Jane in the Twilight sequel New Moon. "It's definitely possible. I really hope it works out," Fanning told Hitfix.com while promoting her latest flick Push. "It would be a really fantastic experience I'm sure." The director Chris Weitz's first choice for the role was Fanning and even cast her without an audition.

I would LOVE to see Dakota Fanning play Jane! I think she looks exactly how Stephanie Meyer wrote in the book describing her as in a casting notice as a petite blonde with a "Botticelli angel-like face…[and] crimson irises. Sounds like a perfect match to me.

DARK KNIGHT SEQUEL IN 2011??

Thats what producer Michael Ulsan, producer of "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" told a newspaper yesterday.

My thoughts? We shall see. I mean the studio (which hasnt had a VERY good comic movie in awhile) is of course pushing to have a sequal to the 2nd highest grossing movie ever! But Chris Nolan (director of Begins and Dark Knight) isnt even sure if he wants to do a 3rd one. I wouldnt trust the Batman francise to anyone else!
