Well how about another God like faring movie this weekend? Yeah? Maybe? It looks cool. What other movies are coming out this weekend? Why should you still see Avatar? Well I’ll tell you what is coming out on the weekend of January 22, 2010 and whether or not it’s worth your time.
Marc Webb, the director of the Golden Globe nominated (500) Days of Summer has been confirmed to direct the new Sony produced Spider-Man Trilogy Reboot. How crazy. Last week or so it was rumored about and bubbling around the Interwebs, now its Webb’s dream come true. According to /Film and Vulture, this can be claimed official and production will most likely start to begin shortly for the first of the trilogies release date in 2012.
“The reboot allows Sony to clean house of all the high price-tag cast and crew from the original trilogy. Webb will be paid roughly $10 million for the first film, with reported substantial bonuses built in “if the picture reaches certain box-office milestones.” Sam Raimi was paid $10 million for the original Spider-Man film, but that was nearly ten years ago. The Evil Dead director’s agreement included a percentage of the film’s grosses (nearly 25 percent when combined with star Tobey Maguire on the last sequel).” – /Film
This should prove to be an interesting approach to a superhero film as this award winning music video director is faced with a big challenge of epic proportions. I’m sure he can reach the target audience of a younger generation, but will this be a good story or entertaining for fan boys or lovers of Raimi’s Spider-man. Only time will tell and I’m hoping for the best since (500) DOS was amazing.

What kind of thrills and spills will you see this weekend? I’ve got some advice to save you you’re time and money. This weekend there are some interesting flicks that might catch your eye and mind. January 15 2010, brings the box office some quite interesting tales that you should see!
Spider-Man is the big film bomb of the week and Director Marc Webb, (500) Days of Summer director, is getting buzz and reports that he apparently is on the top of Sony’s list to direct the new reboot(s) of Spider-Man. According to Mike Fleming of Deadline Hollywood reports this interesting news rumor. Finke says “Webb met about the Spidey reboot with the pic’s producers and executives looking to get the picture into production later this year for a Summer 2012 release.”
It is confirmed!! Thanks to the interwebs such as FirstShowing.net, Ivan Reitman, father of Jason Reitman (Juno, Up In The Air, Thank You For Smoking), has now been confirmed to direct Ghostbusters 3! Mr. Reitman has directed such epic pieces such as the two original Ghostbusters movies as well as Kindergarten Cop and My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
This is exciting news for the geek community, especially since everyone from the original cast will be involved! Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver have all been announced to be in the new horror/sci-fi/comedy. Now who are going to be the newcomers to pass the torch to? Only time will tell, but Ivan Reitman is saying that filming should begin something this year and to expect a 2011 release date!
GET PUMPED!
The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards is coming upon us this weekend on Sunday January 17th, 2010. There will be a live telecast on NBC at 5 PM PST and 8 PM EST, SO DON’T MISS IT! I am kind of excited due to the fact that this is the first awards season where I actually have a particular want and interest in watching an award show. Thus, meaning, I am really really excited for the Academy Awards in March! But first, The Golden Globe Awards!
Now the Globes are kinda odd with their whacky split up categories, but hey, it’s original and keeps things interesting. I am particular proud of my little (500) Days of Summer getting some play in this award show, hurrah! I really hope Up in The Air wins best picture as well. Avatar is a bit of a joke to me as far as award worthy. Was it a good film? Kinda……I’d say it could be put in categories such as best visual effects and best directing, but best picture, no, sorry. I like Meryl, she’s great and all, but to be nominated for two films in the same categories is kinda ridiculous, plus with all the films this year? Was she that great in It’s Complicated? I’m kind of upset that I Love You, Man was not nominated for best comedy/musical. If Role Models nominated, I think ILYM could be too. Also does Nine really belong in a best picture category? I mean I haven’t seen it, but it hasn’t gotten great reviews at all.
But anyways……So without further ado, the nominees are…………
TERRIBLE NEWS. I love my Metal Gear Solid and would love to see a film about it as soon as possible, but with breaking news from the higher powers above, they tell me that this will not happen anytime soon. I can see the upside that I would want to wait until a script and Konami are absolutely set on a good story and ready to take on this epic story.
Raimi, Dunst, MaGuire and anyone involved in the future Spider-Man 4 is out; that includes Mr. Malkovich who claimed to have agreed to play the Vulture if the script called for it. It appears due to creative differences Sony and Raimi are parting ways and Sony is looking to reboot the Spidey franchise. Sad news. I loved Raimi’s vision of the web-slinger and seeing different actors is unsettling. You can kind of look at it as the same situation with The X-Men with X-Men First Class in the works. Apparently they want to begin where Peter Parker began, back in high school and work from there all over again and will be in theaters in 2012. There have been many quotes, interviews, and reasonings behind this call to action after the jump… Continue reading
