Terminator
3 & 4: If
Arnold isn't going to be back, does that put the other
cast members out of the picture? The ArnoldFan
website is reporting that Linda Hamilton may reprise
her role as Sarah Connor and is reported "looking
forward to it." The reports, which are taken from
CNN and "Entertainment Tonight", state that
Edward Furlong would be interested in returning, although
he has not formally been approached yet.
April
Fools Day Jokes: Apparently,
some people failed to read the little blurb at the bottom
of Friday and Saturday's news posting. There IS NO Titanic
2, Cinema Confidential: The Movie, Dawson's Creek: The
Movie, Backstreeet Boys to the Rescue or live-action
The Simpsons movie being planned. Just an April
Fools Day joke...
The
Shipping News: After
winning his Academy Award, Kevin Spacey is showing no
signs of stopping: The actor (currently filming Pay
it Forward) has signed to do this film in which
John Travolta expressed interest numerous times. The
film will be under the direction of Lasse Hallstrom
(The Cider House Rules.)
The
Nightmare Before Christmas 2: Harry
Knowles at
Ain't It Cool News is, himself, reporting that Tim
Burton is in talks to develop a sequel to The Nightmare
Before Christmas. The report was brief so nothing
else could be muffled from the report, other than the
fact that it appears that Disney will be picking up
the rights to the film.
James
Bond 20: This
is a follow-up to Friday's
report about the next Bond film..."Robert Copplinger"
states that the description sent in by the scooper on
Friday fits in a description he head recently. According
to Robert, Eon Productions has secured the rights to
produce "Casino Royale", a Bond novel written
by creator Ian Flemming. Now, many of you might be saying
"They already made a movie called that!" True...sort
of. See, Casino Royale (which starred Woody Allen)
was a parody that was never considered on of the nineteen
Bond films (ie. it didn't have the opening scene, theme
music, etc...)
Secondly,
the scooper on Friday told us that the script would
involve the EU. The European Union is an organization
of 15 European countries that have integrated much of
their laws to create a pan-European free market and
last year, 11 of them merged their currencies into a
new currency, known as the Euro. The notes and coins
for this new currency are being introduced in, get this,
2002, when the next Bond film is supposedly going to
open up.
Buffy,
The Vampire Slayer: We
all know that there have been some talks to do a big-screen
adaptation for WB's "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer"
with Sarah Michelle Gellar. "Mr. Bojangles"
sends a scoop stating that Joss Whedon has almost completed
a script and that the transition between the television
show and the movie would be almost as good as The
X-Files. Should the script go into production, the
film would most likely be shot at the end of this year.
Of course, file this report under the "rumor"
section: There have been no formal reports of another
Buffy movie.
Planet
of the Apes: "Curvey"
informs me that the planned remake of Planet of the
Apes under the direction of Tim Burton will be shot
in Australia, probably the same area and studio as Star
Wars: Episode II will be filmed. Furthermore, the
film will contain real apes (as opposed to men in ape
costumes in the first film.) The same technology used
in films such as Babe will be used to implement
speech in the animals.
