10,000 B.C. - TRAILER

February 21st 2008 23:09

We haven't really talked much about this upcoming big film, mainly because the marketing wasn't as loud as it should. 10,000 B.C. got its own buzz the last couple of months, even though it'll hit theaters soon, March 7th.

The reason for the silence may be that no well known stars participate, a choice by director Roland Emmerich. I'm not impressed by his previous work, Godzilla and The Day After Tomorrow, but Independence Day is an exception. You could obviously say he's experienced with effects and catastrophic themes.

When it comes down to it, 10,000 B.C. looks exciting and the idea is interesting. A young mammoth hunter's journey through uncharted territory to secure the future of his tribe. [IMDB]

Here's the trailer.

LINDSAY LOHAN – NAKED FOR NEW YORK MAGAZINE

February 19th 2008 00:33

LINDSAY LOHAN – POSES NAKED FOR NEW YORK MAGAZINE

I know this may seem like old news as we’ve seen various Lindsay bodily pieces pop out in all directions before, but this time it’s intentional. Lindsay has committed to posing nude in a Marilyn Monroe-style for photographer Bert Stern. The photographs will be published in the New York magazine on sale Monday. Get your copy quick before they sell out.

The theme of the shoot was to re-create Monroe's pictures from the famed 1962 shoot, entitled, ‘The Last Sitting.’ Bert Stern worked with Lohan at the Hotel Bel-Air in California, the same hotel where Marilyn was found dead in 1962 six weeks later. Lindsay posed wearing an iconic blond wig, chiffon and little else.

When asked how she felt about completing the shoot, Lindsay answered: ‘’I didn't have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It's really an honor.’

I wonder what Lindsay does put much thought into...

Due to the sensitive nature of the photographs, plus there may be children lurking, I’ve provided the link rather than posting them.

MORE INCREDIBLE HULK PICTURES

February 18th 2008 07:30

Who can forget Dr. Robert Bruce Banner morphing into the Incredible Hulk at all opportunities? I can and it’s not long now until we have another film reminder.

Here are a few newly-released pictures for you to sample. It’s blatantly apparent that for some peculiar reason The Hulk is not that green any more. Plus, his hair seems to be a trendy shade of purple which I quite like. Despite extensive research, I was unable to determine why. Maybe it's the light, maybe it's an insider secret. Perhaps we’ll find out if/when we see the film...

INDIANA JONES 4 - TRAILER

February 15th 2008 09:56

New trailer to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is out, looking as you would expect an Indiana Jones movie to look. There's nothing on the plot, but we get the enviroment and period it'll play.

It's exciting and all, but there's a fear it'll be too "Disney". Notice for instance when Indiana smashes into an enemy car...

In any case we'll surely get a nice ride, when it's released May 22.

ROY SCHEIDER DIES AT 75

February 11th 2008 09:23

Roy Scheider, known for his role in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws died on Sunday afternoon in Little Rock, Ark. He was 75 and lived in Sag Harbor, N.Y.

Despite having an extensive resumé of films, including The Rainmaker and Naked Lunch, Roy was possibly best recognised for his role as police chief Martin Brody in the 1975 blockbuster Jaws.

Originally offered the leading role in The Deer Hunter (1979), Roy declined so that he could fulfil his contract with Universal for a sequel to Jaws. Unfortunately, Jaws 2 was no-where near as successful as the original, failing to recapture the essence and popularity of the first film.

His role in the 1971s The French Connection earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He was again nominated for his role in All That Jazz, the autobiographical Bob Fosse film.

The official cause of death has not yet been ascertained, but his wife, Brenda Seimer stated he had suffered from multiple myeloma for many years.

LUKE GOSS – TEKKEN ROLE

February 11th 2008 00:47

Remember Bros? Or who will admit to knowing them? I will, I even liked one of their songs. OK, it was two: I Owe You Nothing, and When Will I Be Famous?

If you don’t remember them, that’s all right, it’s understandable. Fortunately, I have some background information to fill in those gaps. Bros were a British boy band active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band comprised of twin brothers Matt and Luke Goss with Craig Logan. The songs on their first album were written by their producer Nicky Graham working under the name ‘The Brothers’, to give the impression that the Goss brothers were the actual writers of the early hits, which they were not at that stage. Later the brothers took over composing duties, maybe honesty prevailed...

You might be wondering why I would be talking about them. Well, it’s because Luke Goss has been cast as Steve Fox in the upcoming big screen ‘Tekken’ adaptation. Tekken is a fighting game and is the first of the series of the same name developed and published by Namco.

Tekken, directed by Dwight Little (Murder at 1600, Anacondas:The Hunt for the Blood Orchid) focuses on Steve Fox who possesses a power that his enemies are determined to take when he decides to seek retribution for his mother’s death. As preparation for this task, he locates his grand-father, Heihachi Mishima, and pleas to be trained. When the Mishima leader announces a 'King of Iron Fist' tournament, he learns that his mother's killer will be participating in the tournament. He must fight against the world’s top competitors to achieve his goal with no interference.

Who would’ve thought that a Goss boy would hop into acting? I didn’t...

THE STRIKE COULD BE OVER SOON

February 4th 2008 21:34

Finally, the strike could be over soon. I know we’ve heard this sentence before, but it’s actually looking more concrete and promising. There’s no doubt there were legitimate reasons on both sides of the fence regarding the Writers’ Strike, but from a viewer’s point of view, it’s become quite an ordeal.

Hollywood sources report that the Writers Guild of America (WGA) has unofficially agreed on terms of a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Apparently the interim agreement aims to resolve the primary, lingering issue of how much writers should be paid for content produced for the internet. Patric M. Verrone, the president of the guild's West Coast branch, said the companies acknowledge the importance of an agreement that fairly compensates writers. Other agreements that will allow writers to resume work have been reached with independent production companies such as Marvel, RKO Productions and United Artists. No further details were released

As a result, it is hoped that a tentative agreement could be announced by the end of this week. If the agreement goes ahead, then it will be presented to the WGA board. If it is approved, the three-month strike could be over.

Yes, there are a lot of ‘ifs’ in this situation, but it is a hopeful step towards the situation concluding soon. I’ll finish with another if: if the strike ends by mid-February it's possible that several scripted programs could produce some new episodes before the end of the present US television season in May. That’s good news.
