ROBOCOP RETURNS & BAD BOYS 3

ROBOCOP TO RETURN?
The Robocop remake seems to be moving ahead now that MGM has gotten over its financial hump, with Elite Squad helmer Jose Padilha recently coming on as director. And now the studio has hired a writer to pen the return of Officer Murphy aka Robocop.

Deadline reports that Josh Zetumer will tackle the script, which will re-imagine the 1987 classic. Padilha and Zetumer will be teaming up to reinvent the franchise.


BAD BOYS 3!! WHAT YOU GOING TO DO??
Well this has been circulating for a while, but it wasn’t ever confirmed… well it looks like we just a step closer to seeing Bad Boys 3.

Martin Lawrence & Will Smith
This interesting bit of news comes from Martin Lawrence and Will Smith themselves, as they both tweeted that, “we ain’t ready . . .Bad Boys 3 Na Na Na.”
But, we haven’t heard from any of their reps or the studios to confirm that the movie is on its way to being made.
We do think, however, that this is a reason for all you fans to get a little excited.

Bad Boys, Bad Boys, what you gonna do, what you gonna do, when they come back for you???

007's CANNIBAL & TOMB RAIDER DEFINITE RETURN...

007’s CANNIBAL

Thor (right), Odin played by Anthony Hopkins (center) & Loki (left)
 The British press always has major details on 007, and they still do. The latest bit of news to come out of the British tabloids, is that, Oscar winner Sir Anthony Hopkins of Hannibal the Cannibal fame is "close to signing a deal" to play the villain in Bond 23.

"The only stumbling block seems to be the number of films he is signing up for. There is a chance the character they want him to play could become a regular feature, like Blofeld back in the day," according to the tabloid's source.

Seeing as how Hopkins has taken a slew of paycheck roles of late -- The Rite, The Wolfman, Beowulf and Thor all spring to mind -- it's not inconceivable that he could agree to play a Bond villain.



TOMB RAIDER DEFINITE RETURN…
Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft
Last year, Crystal Dynamics announced that they will be rebooting the Tomb Raider series of games with a new adventure that focuses on the origins of Lara Croft and her rise to fame as an archaeologist/slash adventurer.

The New Lara Croft for the GAME's SERIES
Now it seems that Hollywood will be doing much of the same. Miss Croft has had one of the more successful transitions from games to film, with two previous movie adventures starring Angelina Jolie.

It's clear the new game is taking a far different approach to portraying Lara, opting for a more realistic and less sexualized take. Should the movies follow suit? Mmm we not to sure about that.

FAST FIVE (TRAILER 2)


The Fast & The Furious

The Cast of The Fast and the Furious
When they originally made the Fast and the Furious, they never imagined that, that film would turn into a cult classic, and would dominate the racing genre in the film industry!! So much so, that studios, and producers alike would not dare to even try and make a film about street racing, because of fear that people would just assume that they trying to do another Fast & Furious and just not watch it.

The first film really set the bar, and all the follow ups after that never really lived up to the it. The First film was a breath of fresh air to racing films, and offered a relative balance of drama, and racing. Things that we sure you loved about it was, Dom and his team factor. The Beautiful but manly Michelle Rodiriguez and the ambitious Paul Walker.

Paul Walker (Left) & Tyrese Gibson (Right)
2 Fast 2 Furious was much more light hearted, and looking at the series so far, it was much needed. The Film could of been much better, but it did give us Brian's iconic Skyline and Roman Pierce played by Tyrese.

Han (Tokyo Drift)
Tokyo Drift gave us Drifiting. . .thats it...

Fast & Furious Brought back Brian and Dom back into the series but then gave us so much drama, Killed Letty!!! and then turned Dom into a SuperHero!! We werent to impressed with this film and it actually destroyed our faith in the future of this franchise!!
Fast & Furious

It turns out we werent the only 1's to feel this way. . . fans of the film hammered Vin Diesel (Producer) and the director of the film for this mess and for promising to bring Tyrese back but never because of his schedule conflicts.

The Boys are Back in Town

They then decided to really make a good film, by increasing the Budget, increasing the Stunts, Bringing in THE ROCK. . . and by bringing in other major players of the previous films back!!
To make this easily the best film in the franchise!! Even though they lost the street racing or any type of racing plot, this new criminal on the run plot, is a much needed breath of fresh air to the Franchise!!
Showing why Fast & Furious can be considered as one of the most successful franchises in our day in age, as its able to evolve.
FAST FIVE will be the second last film, one more film will be made in order to bring the curtain down on this wonderful franchise.

Hope you enjoy the trailer!!!

MEN IN BLACK 3 & DOOM REBOOT 3D

  • WHERE IS THE MEN IN BLACK??
Well we not exactly sure what’s going on with Men In Black 3, as they began filming at the end of last year, took a break that was preplanned, then when it was time to reconvene, they never!
Men In Black 3
The $200 million picture started shooting without a finished script last November. This isn’t an usual thing to do, but after 5 months into production the film still doesn’t have a complete screenplay.

"Sony Pictures started filming Men in Black III with only one act of the script set," explains the trade (source). "The studio built in a break in production that was scheduled to last from late December through mid-February, during which the remainder of the screenplay was supposed to be completed."

But now that break has been extended until the end of March, new scribe David Koepp has come in to work out "complex script issues involving time travel."

Tropic Thunder's Etan Cohen wrote the initial script, but Smith wanted to make changes to it. And the paper also indicates that tension between Sonnenfeld and producer Walter Parkes are further complicating matters. "The real evil here is Walter trying to impose his point of view on things," says another source. "And because he's so facile and he's got great hair, he wins the day a lot. But what sounds great never materializes into a screenplay."

well we will just have to wait and see if the film will make its winter release in 2012,or will the release date get pushed even further back

  • A NEW DOOM
DOOM (2005 film)
Looks like Universal is planning a 3D feature film reboot of Doom, the 2005 film adaptation that starred Dwayne Johnson, Karl Urban and Rosamund Pike.

The reboot is in "the early stages of development" and is looking for a screenwriter. They also claim that "the success of Paramount's G.I Joe: Rise of Cobra piqued their interest even more" in a Doom sequel.

There was talk back in 2008 that another Doom movie would take its inspiration from the forthcoming Doom 4 video game, which is slated for release later this year.
