Dec 9 2005Harold and Kumar sequel?
Kal Penn, the Kumar of Harold and Kumar go to White Castle told MTV that they're currently in discussions of doing a Harold and Kumar sequel. Most people out there probably think this is a stupid idea, but I actually liked Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. It dealt with racism in a fresh way, and it was pretty damn funny. The car scene where Harold and Kumar are talking about their driver's huge boil? Comic gold, my friends.
Dec 9 2005Scarlett Johansson to be in The Prestige
Scarlett Johansson is in talks to star in Chistopher Nolan's "The Prestige." I'm not familiar with the novel the movie is baed on, but since Christopher Nolan is about as close to Movie God as humanly possible, I'm sure the movie will be spectacular.
In the movie, Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman play rival magicians in early 1900s London who battle each other for trade secrets. Johansson will play a magician's assistant named Olivia who is sent to spy on the competition.
And you know spies always wear a lot of sexy outfits and what not. So that's pretty awesome too.
Dec 9 2005Halo movie script leaked
Latino Review claims to have a leaked copy of the Halo script and they say it's bloody fantastic. I'm not sure how one goes about stealing a $1 million script, but I bet it involved a lot of sneaking around and maybe some night-vision goggles. I didn't read it myself, because I hate ruining movies for myself, but you can check it out if you're into that thing.
Dec 9 2005Silent Hill Teaser Trailer
The Silent Hill teaser trailer has been released. It's really dark and really fast and doesn't make much sense, but I'm sure that's no reflection of how the actual movie will be. Or maybe it will. What am I, a psychic?
More images from the trailer after the jump.
Dec 8 2005Jason Statham gets "Cranked"
I don't want to tell Hollywood how to do their job, but maybe they should put a little more effort into the scripts they back.
IN "Speed," Keanu Reeves had to keep driving a booby-trapped bus at 50 mph at least or it would explode. In "Crank," Jason Statham is a hitman who's been shot up with a Chinese poison that will kill him if his adrenaline level drops. Amy Smart (above), who plays his girlfriend, told the Chicago Sun Times: "What Jason must do to keep his adrenaline up is insane. He has to hammer nails into his legs, snort coke and have crazy sex in public."
Don't get me wrong, I love Jason Statham because he's one of the baddest ass badasses in the world, but the premise of this movie sounds like a joke. How about instead of having to hammer nails into his legs, he instead single-handedly beats up the Yakuza and then the Italian mob with only his fists? The story would be just as lame, but at least we'd get to see Jason Statham doing what he does best.
Dec 6 2005X3 Teaser Trailer
Apple has the brand new teaser trailer for X3 out and in HD no less. I wish I was excited about this, but after seeing it I felt totally underwhelmed. Juggernaut is 800 lbs too small, Beast looks like a blue troll, and we're all getting sick of Magneto manipulating Wolverine's skeleton. Plus, I was really hoping we'd have some Sentinels this time around.
If I was in charge of this thing, it would have just been a closeup on a Sentinel face with the eyes lighting up, and in a monotone robotic voice, "Destroy all mutants." It doesn't even matter if there are Sentinels in the movie, because it'd be so damn sweet.
