‘Lethal Weapon 5′, ‘Tron 2′, ‘Get Smart 2′, ‘Dracula 2′ and Depp’s $56 Million
Sequels, money and Marky Mark talks to animals
I am surprised at how intrigued fanboy sites are at the idea of a Lethal Weapon 5, especially with word that Columbus Short (who?) is up for the role as Murtaugh’s son as it will most likely skew younger. Can they get Mel and Danny to sign on for this?
Paul Andrew Williams (The Cottage) is rumored to be up for the job of directing the far from needed 28 Months Later. This has already been proven false.
Some awful pictures of Wolfman banners are online.
Netflix failed to meet its subscriber growth projections for the third quarter. It also scaled back its estimates for the end of the year. However, I still recommend everyone buy the Netflix Roku player.
Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew and blood descendant, Dacre Stoker, wrote a sequel to Stoker’s “Dracula” called “The Un-Dead” and it will appear in October 2009. A film adaptation has been written by Ian Holt with the story co-written by Alexander Galant. Filming is expected to begin in June ‘09.
Tron 2 director Joseph Kosinski talked about the film over here while Jeff Bridges has some quotes on it over here.
Get Smart 2 is quite likely to happen.
Here’s a look at the godawful costume from Kick-Ass. Looks more like a cheesy SNL skit, but I am sure some CGI will clean it up and make it look cool.
Word has it Johnny Depp will get $56 million for Pirates of the Caribbean 4. How many cookies does that buy?
M. Night Shyamalan keeps on talking about Unbreakable 2. Shyamalan also says his next horror film will be shot in 2010.
Corey Haim doesn’t like Lost Boys 2, but holds out hope for Lost Boys 3. He may be the only one.
Bill Murray is cool with a Ghostbusters 3.
Indiana Jones 5 talk will not go away with Harrison Ford now saying, “George [Lucas] is in think mode right now.” Last time he got to thinking it ended up with aliens and crystal skulls, someone stop him before it turns into aging hippies played by Cheech and Chong.
Fake Michael Bay twittering on Twitter gets a cease and desist. The fake poster says things such as “Just had a Turducken for a snack” and “I had 50 eggs for lunch. No big deal.” The funny thing about the cease and desist letter is that it doesn’t say everything being posted is “untrue and defamatory” just “many” of the statements. Perhaps this is the true story?
And now, the best “Saturday Night Live” skit in a long, long, long time.
