2009 had some great films, but it also had its share of stinkers. I’m not going to do a post on the potentially horrible films of 2010 (it would be waaaay too long). Lets stay optimistic and look at the five best looking films of the next twelve months. Continue reading →
, Jesse Eisenberg (The Squid and the Whale, Roger Dodger) is in the final stages of signing on for Ruben Fleisher’s (this being his first major feature film) Zombieland, a zombie comedy. It is said that Eisenberg would play a shut-in who is an expert at surviving zombies, but not at being around people.
Sounds interesting. Let’s hope it can be as good as Shaun of the Dead without feeling like a cheap ripoff. I imagine we’ll hear more about it over the next few weeks. Keep your eyes peeled.
Now, I am not generally a fan of 3D movies. It usually feels like a gimmick, something added on at the last moment just to make themselves feel like mavericks. But I can say with 100% conviction that I am going to go see TR2N (Tron 2 to those humans among us) on opening day, after reading AICN’s interview with the director. In the interview, he also announced that the film should be able to make it out in time to for a late 2010 release.
What do you think of 3D movies? Are you looking forward to Tron 2?
The Changeling is the story of Christine Collins’ missing son in 1928. The Los Angeles Police department was desparately looking for good publicity, so when they found a boy claiming to be her son they gave him to her. She then set off to try to find out what happened to her real son. Check out the trailer below.
Hopefully this role will made up for some of Jolie’s well…crappy roles, namely Wanted. It opens to a limited engagement October 24th.
Number one, how did I miss this information, and number two, for god’s sakes why? Why make another? Also, why is it a prequel to the third one? Does that make any sense…no it doesn’t. NONE.
You know you are doing well as a director when the opening credits to your newest movie are being displayed on the internet…not even the trailer. Enjoy.
RocknRolla opens October 31st…which can’t come soon enough.
Geeks of Doom have reported that Troy Duffy has plans to make the sequel to the classic Vigilante flick calling it “Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day”. Basically, what you can expect is lots of new guns and lots of new action… The Geeks break the story line down as follows…
The boys (Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery) and their father Il Duce (Billy Connolly) have been living in seclusion, deep in Ireland on a sheep farm, away from everything, when Il Duce’s brother comes to tell them that a priest was murdered in Boston and it was set up to look like it was done by the Saints.
The boys rush back to deal with it, while they’re supposedly ailing father stays on the farm. There’s a new character who’s kind of the Rocco character named Romeo; funny, but much more bad ass. As soon as the brothers land, they start picking off anyone who may be tied to this framing. Willem Dafoe is not in the sequel, a new FBI detective comes into play — a female with a strong southern accent. She wants to catch the Saints and is working with some of the detectives in the first movie (like Bob Marley) who, as we know, decided the Saints were good and began helping them, but they don’t think she knows this, so they need to go with that. Eventually their father comes back into play and tells them what’s going on, which sets in motion a full-on flashback of the story of Il Duce from day one.
Hell yeah I’m excited about this. I loved Boondock Saints, apart from its really good humour and very likeable characters, it did give everybody who watched it a debate to rage about, either within themselves or with their friends. Is vigilante justice a good thing or a bad thing?
I’ll hold my opinion for now but I can’t wait for this one to come out. there are no further details I can dig up but stay in touch there might be more later
