SAW IV - FINAL POSTER

August 30th 2007 19:24

Creepy Saw IV is closing its release and we actually don't know much about the plot other than that Jigsaw is a crazy dude even when he's dead.

Can't help but to love the unpredictable twist though. Watch a bloody clip here.

VIN DIESEL IN FAST AND THE FURIOUS 4?

August 30th 2007 19:04

This are certainly good news, even though they are of the "maybe"-kind. It's revealed that Vin Diesel and other old cast-members will appear in the fourth installment of Fast and the Furious, but a script is not even completed yet so I guess nothing is 100% yet.

I enjoyed the first two films, and the third as well at a level, so why not? I'm not a fan, but why not? Vin is always fun to watch... sometimes when it isn't supposed to be fun.

Get ready for some flabbergasting cars though!

STRIPPER ROLE FOR RIHANNA

August 30th 2007 08:40

It’s been reported that R&B singer Rihanna has been going to strip clubs to study for her next movie role, in which she apparently will play a stripper. After visiting a few establishments for research purposes, she admitted that the whole experience just "weirded her out."

"I went with some friends to a strip club not long ago," said Rihanna. "I went because I was very curious. I didn't learn any dancing tips. I've been reading some film scripts so I had to go to see what it's like. I was very weirded out."

Rihanna hasn’t acted in any previous films, and the exact film she is preparing for is not known.

I would say that she will have quite a few curious fans going to see the film for more than her acting or singing abilities.

NEW SWEENEY TODD PICTURE RELEASED

August 28th 2007 07:45

OK, there is a possibility that I’m forming an obsession over Johnny Depp. This is my second post on him in 24 hours. My only excuse is that this is part two to the first post I wrote earlier and it seems rude not to complete the set of information. I don’t want to become known as an inconsiderate blogger.

KEANU REEVES - REMAKE OF THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

August 28th 2007 07:19

KEANU REEVES TO STAR IN THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL REMAKE

Twentieth Century Fox has chosen Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) to star in The Day the Earth Stood Still, a remake of the 1951 Robert Wise-directed sci-fi classic. The original starred Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, and Sam Jaffe. The film was adapted by Edmund H. North from the short story written by Harry Bates, Farewell to the Master. and directed by Robert Wise. The score was written by Bernard Herrmann and is notable for its use of two theremins (electronic instrument played by moving the hands near its two antennas, often used for high tremolo effects). I didn’t know the actual name of the instrument before this post, but indeed when I think of the film, I can hear the music in my mind, it is memorable.

SWEENEY TODD - BURTON TOLD TO TONE DOWN BLOOD AND GUTS

August 28th 2007 00:18

Apparently DailyIndia just reported that director Tim Burton has been asked to tone down the gruesome scenes in Sweeney Todd. According to sources, the prosthetic look-alike limbs were so realistic that some of the crew became queasy and had to leave the set for breaks. Others were disgusted because there of the large amount of sliced-up 'corpses', and some spare 'necks' in case Burton might want to shoot several takes of the same throat-cutting scene. Sounds logical to me, it’s always good to have a spare neck around in case you need it.

P.S. I LOVE YOU - POSTER WITH GERARD BUTLER

August 24th 2007 18:07

Gerard Butler has won a lot of hearts after his role in 300, and I'm sure not just women ones considering the tight panties he wore.

In P.S, I Love You he's with Hilary Swank who is a bit of both genders (see Boy's Don't Cry). As for the plot it's about a young widow that discovers 10 messages her late husband left, intended to help ease her pain and start a new life. [IMDB

MOVING McALLISTER - POSTER

August 23rd 2007 12:54

I never enjoyed Jon Heder as an actor, it's like a character moving around in different movies. In other words he has the same style, brain and unfortunately voice in every performance.

Anyway I shouldn't say much cause his fan base is bigger than me, and that's scary

KEVIN SMITH WANTS JASON BATEMAN FOR NEW FILM

August 14th 2007 23:20

ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO BY KEVIN SMITH

Okay, I’m showing some cheesiness this morning, I remember Jason Bateman from Valerie, the sit-com that followed the life of an ordinary suburban American family. It wasn't that exciting or funny, in fact it was formulaic and predictable but my main reason for watching it was Jason Bateman’s hunkiness. Plus, it was on back in the late 80s and I was too young to have developed any decent telly standards yet. That's my excuse. I’m not sure what excuse I have for my Teen Wolf Too adoration, again I can only put it down to age. To most people he is known for his role as Michael Bluth on the successful cult television sitcom Arrested Development.
