Hey, how's everyone doing on this Friday? Here's my weekly entertainment report for the 24th. A little bit more news this week. Some really cool stuff including the first teaser poster of Spider Man 3, which looks awesome. Also I added a movie review part that acouple of members of the general forum do on their own time, its very cool so make sure you check that out at the bottom. Enjoy.
News and Rumors:
Spider-Man 3 Teaser Art is UP (http://www.aintitcool.com/pics/spidey3teaser.jpg)! The artwork is not black and white he's actually in that color suit.
-pic from Aintitcool.com
A scene in the upcoming Reno 911!: Miami movie will star all 11 members of "The State" this is the first time they all have been together since the State ended in 1995. I keep getting more exicted about this movie.
Thomas Jane (the punisher) is looked to star in "Evilseek". "Jane will play a cop so demoralized by the handiwork of a serial killer that he commits suicide. Satan uses the cop's body as a vessel, inheriting a disgruntled ex-wife, a promiscuous 15-year-old daughter, a lesbian partner and some of the cop's dogged determination to catch the killer." - synopsis from darkhorizons.com
Steven Speilberg says that Indiana Jones 4 is his next movie! Looks like its finally going to start moving along.
Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange are going to be playing two relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy in the upcoming movie "Grey Gardens". Barrymore will be playing Little Edie and Lange will star as her mother.
Kate Moss is going to be playing a lesbian in the biopic about Dusty Springfield which is set to be directed by Ang Lee. Charlize Theron will actually be playing Springfield, while Moss will be one of her lovers early on in the movie. The film will follow Sprinfield's entire life from birth to death.
The director of "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" (starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James) has dropped out citing creative differences. David Dobkin wanted a broad comedy while Sandler wanted to do another type of Sandler comedy. The Film follows to firemen who fake a marriage to receive benefits.
Billy Bob Thorton is going to direct and star in "Floyd Collins" set in the 1920's, it centers around the true story of cave explorer Floyd Collins who was stuck in a cavern in Kentucky.
The writers of Lost are still looking for a way to kill off Michelle Rodriguez in the story line. Expect it to happen sometime shortly.
Jessica Biel is going to star along side of Nicholas Cage and Julianne Moore in the movie "Next". She is going to be playing the love interest of Cage, who has the ability to see the future and change its outcome. The FBI enlists his help to prevent global terrorist attacks until he ends up having to make the choice of saving himself or the world.
There is talks that Arrested Development has been picked up for another 12 episodes that hasn't happened yet but reports is that its about 50/50 chance that it'll happen. They have until June 15th to decide.
Big W, as Will Smith is now known, visted India's Bollywood, their version of Hollywood, and is planning on going to work with some of their bigger named actors there.
Marky Mark Walhberg is set to star in "The Shooter" where he plays a sharpshooter who banishes himself to the woods when he kills an innocent person. When a friend seeks his help he comes out only to be framed for the assassination of the President.
Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Anne Hathaway and Leslie Mann are going to star in "Knocked Up" which is about two people whom have a one night stand only to find out they're going to have a baby a few months later. Judd Aptow is set to direct.
Now for the 100th different rumor on the Batman villians: Supposivley Hugo Weaving and Hugh Jackman are set to star as the Joker and Harvey dent in the upcoming sequel. While this is about the 4th or 5th different Joker we've heard of and the 2nd or 3rd Dent, I wouldn't take this too seriously just yet.
Mischa Barton as supergirl?? I hope not.
Jonathan Liebesman is going to be the director of the next Friday the 13th movie. He also directed the soon to be released Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel which just finished filming.
Joaquin Phoneix is looking to star in "Withouth Remorse" a film directed by John Singleton. Its about how a Navy Seal named John Clark joins the C.I.A. under the name Mr. Clark.
Jurassic Park 4 is set to release in 2008, they have the script and are going to start shooting sometime in the near future.
The Batman Begins and, yet to be released, Superman Returns movies are both being looked at for sequels now. Singer is expected to direct the Superman sequel after he finishes the remake of "Logans Run". While its thought that we'll see the Batman sequel in 08 and the Superman sequel in 09
AICN is reporting that Keanu Reeves might be up for the role of Silver Surfer in the upcomming Fantastic Four sequel. He shoulda done Point Break 2.
Chris Rock has signed on to star in "I think I love My Wife" which is about a man w/ a perfect marriage, which ends up daydreaming about past women of his life when one actually begins to seduce him, only to find out that he does love his wife.
Vin Diesel is getting back into a car for "The Wheelman" where he stars as an experienced driver (Transporter?) in which he has to protect a women.
Tom Cruise is looking to play the villian in the remake of "3:10 to Yuma" while he hasn't signed on yet, he is the favorite.
Well in which most likely will be a hit because for whatever insane reason people love this guy, Larry the Cable Guy has a movie coming out. Entitled Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector.
Some dissapointing news, Anthony Hopkins biopic of Ernest Hemingway entitled "Papa" is not going to be made afterall.
Aquaman is coming to the small screen rather than the big screen. The series is looking to be on the WB and they have Justin Hartley set to star as A.C. Curry. Also starring is Ving Rhames as McCaffery and Denise Quinones as Rachel Starling
