Ah yes, the first nice Spring day of the year up in New England and what am I doing? Sitting in the dark writing for a website. Is it any wonder I'm pasty as all get out? I digress, here's some film stuff to chew on for Thursday.
Back in the seventies the man Charles Bronson made a kick ass film called "The Mechanic" alongside Jan Michael Vincent. Now the reboot-in-the-ass craze has caught up to it with a remake featuring Jason Stathem. View the trailer:
For reasons that I can't possibly fathom, there is a sequel to the God-awful GI Joe (or CGI Joe as I call it) in the works. Zombieland (which also sucked) scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have landed the job of hacking out a script and star Channing Tatum says he's there for it when it's time and he hopes they don't rush this film. Gee Channing, I'm more hoping they don't make this film.
The reboot-in-the-ass craze has finally targeted the Police Academy movies and really thank God. What else could benefit film more than a remake of an already bad series. Producer Paul Maslansky is all set to try and sell audiences on a new Police Academy down to wanting to bring back some of the original stars. Good news for Steve Guttenberg as I hear his hours at the DQ just got cut. As for Kim Cattrall coming back? Yeah right, the whole cost of the movie wouldn't bring the Sex In The City star out of her trailer.
Rose McGowen, a girl I might actually kill you to sleep with, has been added to the ever growing Conan movie playing the part of a "evil half/human, half/witch". Ah, so she's playing a woman. Anyhoo the witch thing McGowen is playing hasn't been on any character breakdowns so it's either a new character or a tiny part. Wasn't she supposed to play Red Sonja at one point?
Word is out now that Tim Burton will bring the Adams Family back into the world of cinema but not the way Barry Sonnenfeld did. This will be a stop-motion 3-D animation film based on the comic strips in New Yorker magazine. One day Tim Burton will make an original movie, I just hope it's before I'm dead.
Okay that's it for now. I have to go close the blinds, that damn Sun just keeps blaring in.
