Robert Rodriguez and Danny Trejo re-teaming for ‘Machete Kills’

Wednesday, 08 February 2012

Machete was a fun movie. A reaaaal fun movie. Robert Rodriguez fans have been wondering since the release of the original, and the announcement of the completion of a script for the sequel, when he would find time in his tumultuous schedule to return to the character for a sequel. It seems that he’s decided moved it up a few notches on his “to-do” list to his next...

Joss Whedon, Tom Hiddleston, Samuel Jackson, Clark Gregg, and more in ‘the Avengers’ Glo

Tuesday, 07 February 2012

Yeah, I knew about the Global Twitter chat that took place for “The Avengers”. I didn’t participate because I had a strong feeling that it would be overwhelmed with geek girls fawning over Tom Hiddleston. I just don’t understand why but he’s a ‘geek girl’ magnet. Anyway, we now have an opportunity to review the transcript of the chat and see if they let...

The Star Wars 3D Superbowl TV spot

Tuesday, 07 February 2012

Did you guys see that new TV spot for the 3D re-releases of Star Wars that aired during the Superbowl? I didn’t. But thanks to the power of the internetz we can all use youtube as our personal DVR’s and view anything that we may have missed during our many many beer fueled trips to the bathroom. For your viewing pleasure I present that very ad: That wasn’t all that bad and even...

Jonah Hill, Kristen Bell and Sarah Paxton posing with the Ghostbusters’ Ecto-1… is this

Monday, 06 February 2012

I really really hate posting about Ghostbusters. It’s bittersweet but mostly bitter because they dangle the franchise in front of us without any real traction. It’s been a good 3 or so months since we learned that Oscar grows up to be a Ghostbuster and now these guys are teasing something BIG in these photos. Via: Worst Previews Apaprently the source of all this imagery is none other...

No Quixote but Gilliam will 3D up Time Bandits

Wednesday, 08 September 2010

Seems the on again off again relationshiip with Terry Gilliam and his proposed “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” has hit the wall again and they are on the outs. Until he can find more money that is.

Ramascreen quotes Gilliam:

“The financing collapsed about a month and a half ago,”
“I shouldn’t be here. The plan was to be shooting ‘Quixote’ right now…. we are looking for new financing right now”
“Don Quixote gives me something to look forward to, always. Maybe the most frightening thing is to actually make the film.”

So we are back to square one with Gilliam’s Magnum Opus.

This movie just will never happen. Even with Ewan McGregor and Robert Duvall to play the roles oroginally played by Johnny Depp and Jean Rochefort.

But we have a consolation prize! It seems that Gilliam will be converting his 1981 classic Time Bandits to 3D!

Ok wait… I didn’t even believe that and I typed it. But its apparently happening.

As much as I have a special spot in my heart for Time Bandits, and recently bought it on Bluray. Even reviewed it in a Forgotten Friday. But I see no reason to convert that to 3D.

But what are you going to do? What really matters to him isn’t panning out. Why not this?
