MOVIE SNIPPETS

* Director Matthew Vaughn was very proud of his THOR script for Marvel. Apparently its all set in Asgard and other realms (ie Not Earth), which is fucking awesome, I think. Anyway, Marvel said his script would cost $300 Million and he needs to cut it down to $150 Million. Gah! Although $150Mil is still ALOT... its roughly what Transformers was. But I want to know what was in that script to DOUBLE that budget?! I say give him the money! COMIC Movies should have tons of money thrown at it for the FX, I think. Imagination has no limits... why should it be grounded by budgetary concerns? heh.

* The next batch of TERMINATOR movies will be a NEW Trilogy, set in the Future, during the war between Skynet and John Connor's resistance. It's called "TERMINATOR SALVATION: THE FUTURE BEGINS". Could be cool. Just kidding, its going to suck. But will it suck harder than T3, which was poop? Rumor also has it VIN DEISEL will be the new Terminator. As long as he has little-to-no lines, he could be cool. But mostly likely not. It gets worse.... McG (Charlie's Angels) is rumored to direct. TERMINATOR 1 RULEZ.

* STAR TREK REBOOT CASTING: ERIC BANA has been cast as NERO, the villain in JJAbrams' STAR TREK reboot movie. Rumors have it that some dude named CHRIS PINE may be Kirk (bah, only Shatner is Kirk, fools!). Other confirmed casting - Anton Yelchin (Chekov), Zachary Quinto (Young Spock), Zoe Saldana(Young Uhura) and Leonard Nimoy(Old Spock).

* PIXAR is going to do a TRILOGY of movies based on John Carter of Mars films! Don't get TOO excited just yet, as the first one will probably be out around 2012.

* They're making a LAND OF THE LOST movie... you know, a film adaptation of the silly (yet awesome when I was 7) TV show. To give you an idea of the feel of the movie, WILL FERRELL plays the hero. No casting news on CHAKA, yet..... my vote goes to Rob Schneider, ha!

* BRANDON ROUTH has been cast as DYLAN DOG in the movie "DEAD OF NIGHT", based on the Italian comic book "Dylan Dog". Hmmm, interesting. Any Dylan Dog fans out there? Thoughts on this?

* They are making ANACONDA 3 and 4. Wow. Even better, David Hasslehoff will play the hero in both! Wowie Wow-Wow!

Fuck,if they can do a film version of LAND OF THE LOST there's still hope for a 'Jason of Star Command' movie yet !!!

I thought they were already making a JOhn Carter movie, I expected it to be out by now. And not CG, but live action.

That was the version that Jon Favreau, he was one of 3 directors in recent years to try and bring it to the screen, when it fell through he decided to film Iron Man. The other 2 Directors were Robert Rodriguez and Kerry Conran, both failed to bring John Carter to the screen also.
