Outlander…We Have Your Remake!

This Chidlren of the Corn remake might just have no hope. With Ehren Kruger at the helm, one of the writers responsible for the monstrosity that was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, we might see one of the first disappointing horror remakes to date. I myself feel a lot of remakes for horror have actually been pretty good, but I don’t know how I feel about Kruger. According to Variety, this opportunity was swept up by the Weinstein group and needed to be done.

“We felt the [original] film was a missed opportunity,” said Bob Weinstein. “If you read the short story, it’s got such a strong feeling to it and there’s this religious overtone to it as well. Ehren wants to hit it hard. It’s popular in Hollywood to say you [are] re-envisioning a project, but a lot of the time they’re just carbon copying the original. We are bringing something new to the story.”

My final verdict, Kruger can’t do horror right (The Brothers Grimm, The Skeleton Key, The Ring 1 & 2, and Scream 3), especially with trying to reproduce a classic that could be a great story. This is a story of gingers, and this won’t be scary? How could a story about ginger kids not be scary? Damn you Kruger!

You’ve Just Been Judged

judge dredd 320x240

A Judge Dredd remake is in the works. Alex Garland, the writer of 28 Days Later and Sunshine. Garland is currently in the process of writing a fresh new look on the Judges of the future.

With Judge Dredd under the umbrella of Danny Boyle’s DNA Films, it’s no surprise that the writer most often associated with Boyle, Alex Garland, is spearheading this project. Mark Simpson, who’s worked on the art for Judge Dredd comic strips as well as the concept art for this new adaptation said this of the art and Garland: “Working through script visuals for Judge Dredd movie. Alex Garland writes a great script.” That shouldn’t be any surprise, it sure isn’t to me. Garland certainly has what it takes to bring a thoughtful, yet tonally accurate Judge Dredd satire to theaters. His past genre screenplays should be proof enough of that. – First Showing

Now someone needs to remake Demolition Man…………

Supermax: The Green Arrow Story?

Apparently, Sony has bought the script of Supermax, an original story based on the superhero, The Green Arrow.

Bloody Disgusting states: Supermax takes place in a Maximum Security Prison for the Super-Natural as a skilled guard must join forces with a lethal inmate after a riot ensues in order to fight his way through various monsters and mad-men in order to survive.

This story sounds like a really cool concept if they can get the cast right, set the tone from the very beginning and get a solid story. Now this story, actually, sounds like the Green Arrow story will be on hold and this Supermax film will be its own story. Whatever the case is, I want a good movie out of this story. I am intrigued and production should be starting early 2010. Let’s pray this doesn’t go to waste.

Although I dislike Boondock Saints, I am willing to show the new trailer to it’s sequel that was released sometime around the past week. I probably won’t go see this, but it is getting lots of hype. The first movie is just so overhyped and praised as some god like work. It is nothing special. This movie will also be overhyped. But go ahead and watch the trailer. From what I’ve heard, it’s stuppose to focus on the back story of the old man and continue to follow the brothers on their killing sprees. This film is set to release on October 30 of this year. yeehaw………

Luckily for the world, the dismemberment of the life-size 1:1 scale Gundam began today. No war will be started with giant mecha in this time, not for now anyways. It is kinda sad they are taking it down. What else are they going to do with all those pieces……

Here we go with some quick notes again. Quick Notes are articles and blips that I do not feel on typing out full news that could just be viewed in shorts because there is just not enough time in the day to possibly touch on everything in full. They are all just a bunch of random hooblah of sorts that fell into this little section of fun and goodness after the jump: Stories of Rambo 5, Batman Sequel, Bad Boys 3, and more!

Epic Purchase: Disney Buys Marvel Entertainment Inc. for $4.24 Billion

WHAT??!?!?!?! Disney has just purchased Marvel Entertainment Inc. for a sum $4 billion dollars. This is just ridiculous. The closing price of Disney stock on Friday, August 28, their stock was $50 each, which will be distrtibuted to Marvel for their company that accumulates to the $4 billion.

According to Walt Disney Company:

“This transaction combines Marvel’s strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney’s creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories,” said Robert A. Iger, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company. “Ike Perlmutter and his team have done an impressive job of nurturing these properties and have created significant value. We are pleased to bring this talent and these great assets to Disney.”

Under the deal, Disney will acquire ownership of Marvel including its more than 5,000 Marvel characters. Mr. Perlmutter will oversee the Marvel properties, and will work directly with Disney’s global lines of business to build and further integrate Marvel’s properties.

From Superhero Hype:

UPDATE #1: In a conference call, the companies said that the deals for movies for characters at other studios (Spider-Man, X-Men, etc.) will stay in place under the terms set by Marvel and the other studios.

UPDATE #2: John Lasseter met with Marvel last week about a possible team-up between Marvel and Pixar and got “pretty excited, pretty fast.” They say there’s definitely an opportunity there.

UPDATE #3: The deal with Paramount Pictures to distribute “Iron Man 2,” “Thor,” “Captain America” and “The Avengers” stays in place as well, but Disney would like to self-distribute down the line. “When the time comes we’ll take a closer look at it.” It was actually stated that the deal still included five films, so that is one more film after “The Avengers.”

A Story So Unbelievable…It Has To Be True?

the men who stare at goats

Take a look at this little comedy full of stars, The Men Who Stare At Goats. This stars George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Ewan McGregor, and Kevin Spacey. In this quirky dark comedy inspired by a real life story you will hardly believe is actually true, astonishing revelations about a top-secret wing of the U.S. military come to light when a reporter encounters an enigmatic Special Forces operator on a mind-boggling mission. Reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) is in search of his next big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady (Academy Award®winner George Clooney), a shadowy figure who claims to be part of an experimental U.S. military unit. According to Cassady, the New Earth Army is changing the way wars are fought. A legion of “Warrior Monks” with unparalleled psychic powers can read the enemy’s thoughts, pass through solid walls, and even kill a goat simply by staring at it. Now, the program’s founder, Bill Django (Oscar® nominee Jeff Bridges), has gone missing and Cassady’s mission is to find him. Intrigued by his new acquaintance’s far-fetched stories, Bob impulsively decides to accompany him on the search. When the pair tracks Django to a clandestine training camp run by renegade psychic Larry Hooper (two-time Oscar® winner Kevin Spacey), the reporter is trapped in the middle of a grudge match between the forces of Django’s New Earth Army and Hooper’s personal militia of super soldiers. In order to survive this wild adventure, Bob will have to outwit an enemy he never thought possible. The Men Who Stare at Goats was inspired by Jon Ronson’s non-fiction bestseller of the same name, an eye-opening and often hilarious exploration of the government’s attempts to harness paranormal abilities to combat its enemies. – Apple.com
