Ah, right, we had a thread about that recently.
I don’t know how anybody else feels, but I think the idea of Nicholas Cage as Superman (which was discussed for a time, when Tim Burton was supposed to direct) sounded awful. I don’t like him as Willy Wonka either. ::shudder::
Oh great. Now I need two bottles of bleach. One for each eye!
What a tremendous crapfest!
Ah, and then read the “News” section of the site, and find this gem…
Lovely, I’m sure that’ll be worth it. :rolleyes:
Starsky and Hutch
The only thing that has the teeniest chance of saving this movie is its stars, Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller. Snoop Dogg as Huggy Bear is sure to suck, though.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Good God, I must be going blind. I swear that wasn’t there a couple of days ago.
Ben Stiller, eh? Yep, it’ll suck.
Dude, Where’s My Car? was definitely a borefest. I hate Seann William Scott, and while I’m OK with Ashton Kutcher when I watch That 70s Show, it was one of those movies I knew I was gonna hate my friends for making me see right from the beginning. A sequel is frightening, but I’m not friends with most of those people anymore, so I’m safe. 
Somehow, Owen Wilson + Ben Stiller strikes me as a similar pairing when it comes to stupidity.
Actually… There is a project in the works to do a movie version of The Greatest American Hero
It’s too bad about Kevin Smith. He would have been great to do the proposed Green Arrow movie. He said he was asked but declined.
I can’t believe nobody mentioned this one:
*“Ghengis Khan”: Beijing Star Daily talked with Steven Seagal about his upcoming biopic about the warlord: “We hope to shoot it early next year. At the moment we’re trying to round out a cast. I’ll be playing Khan, and we’ve got a great lot of other actors to play some of the smaller roles. In some respects, this will be the epic film I’ve never been able to do before. And We’re hoping to fill a lot of the roles with local actors to make the film authentic. Genghis Khan was a political and military genius. And it was not always that way, after his father was poisoned to death, many detested his appointing as chief. But this man had such a way about him, and spoke truths that his people hadn’t heard before. Pretty soon three followers turned into three billion followers”. *
The thought of this is truly horrifying.:eek:
I can’t believe I’m the first to post this. When I saw it on fark, my first thought was, “I bet this has been posted in that SDMB thread already.”
The article tells about the attempt to get a LIVE-ACTION Transformers movie off the ground.
Mr Peabody and Sherman is in planning stages
Based upon these reports, it appears that Hollywood is approaching a “Singularity”: that is, once they have made the cartoon of the live action movie of the sequel to the cartoon version of the remake of the live action TV show, they will have exhausted every possible story and script humanly imaginable.
And oddly enough, scripts barely seem to be a part of most of these movies. 
Good thing they specified AWFUL zombies. Everyone knows that zombies are normally friendly, fun-loving guys :rolleyes:
It can’t be any worse than the original version. One has to wonder, though, if it’ll have the same effect on Seagal’s career that it had on John Wayne’s.
Seagal has a career? I thought he was busy with the German mob.
The go-ahead has been given for a live-action Lupin III film. I’m worried that they’re going to suck everything fun and cool out of it and once again audiences unfamiliar with the source material are going to be left wondering what those wacky fans see in Japanese animation. Besides the usual gore and boobs, of course :rolleyes:
Being a lifelong DAWN OF THE DEAD fanatic, I was prepared to give the remake a chance. James Gunn maybe have been stupid enough to write the script for “Scooby-Doo”, but he got his start with Troma and is a horror movie fan.
But it’s got zombie dogs. And a first-time director whose previous experience was music videos.
Piss on it.
I think Snoop Dogg is an inspired choice to play Huggy Bear.
I think there’s a good chance that Starsky and Hutch will be a great, fun movie.
