YESSS. More insanity. Johnny Depp is set to reprise his acclaimed role as journalist Hunter S. Thompson in the sequel to his 1998 hit Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. The follow-up, called The Rum Diary, is based on Thompson's very first novel, which journals his career and personal escapades in 1950s Puerto Rico. Depp is also acting as executive producer for the film. Thompson shot himself to death at his secure compound in Woody Creek, Colorado, on February 20. I wonder who's directing. Give me....Terry Gilliam!
in the rolling stones article about hunter s thompson they had an article written about jonny depp living with him and it discussed one night jonny was in his bed in thompson's house smoking and he started to closely look at his night table. then he came to realize that the nighttable was actually a barrel of gunpowder. so he screams and puts out his cigarette and then tells thompson who immediately rolls it out into the yard says "so thats where that went. i was looking for it." and then proceeds to blow it up. just for good times.
whoa, wow! GREAT STORY. thanks malibu.
Gilliam is one of the best!
You said it, brother. You gotta come over and watch some Gilliam with me. I'm into his POST-Monty Python antics. Brazil, Time Bandits, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, even Twelve Monkies. He's got two coming out this year--Brothers Grimm and Tideland. Both will be huge and will certainly put Gilliam back on the map.
Monty Python's good too.
(Chris)Topher Grace to play a superhero in the next Spiderman movie (due to come out May 4, 2007! ugh)
http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1502648/05192005/story.jhtml
Wait No, his name is legally Topher. Didn't he just say his parents started to name him Christopher but, decided against it??? Ha you just don't like to say it... SAY IT SAY TOPHER mua hahahaha!
anyone hear anything about THE ISLAND with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson?
Yeah, looks like a pretty neat concept. I don't like the director, but I DO like Ewan, Scarlette and Duncan. It looks like another summa blockbuster. Big action, big sets, big effects, high speed chases and CLONES! I'll probably watch it.
trailer here... pretty sweet.. im def seeing this
wow. thats gotta be the worst attempt at a link ever.
its ezabel and its dumb link filters...
For the noobs like dean that cant handle the simple drag and drop....
New Batman Begins trailer:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/batman_begins/trailer4/large.html
whoa. that dude who says "the batmannn" might be a future Joker prospect! Look at that face! AND the fire-breathing horse? whoaaa.
looks pretty cool! i was never really into the batman movies but I'll probably go see this one
Wow..I'm so excited for that! CHristian Bale is my hero..and what's Katie Holmes doing in it besides fainting a lot?
oh man i love christian bale like more than a friend
like more than a friend, Ha! Good stuff bb.
you're in love with the former newsie turned superhero
oh man my sister and i used to watch Newsies every day for like a year
God, I hated that movie! In what universe do turn of the century orphaned paper-boys sing about their trials and triumphs? Disney is so annoying.
i hate to admit it but i've watched it more than my fair share of times. I could probably sing along with all the songs.
then again, that isn't as bad as me knowing all the songs to "the pirates of penzance" is it janine?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you beat me too it. I swear as i was reading your first line i was thinking "not surprising considering you know the songs from pirates of penzance." true story.
lol... nice
that is correct
well i loved him in swing kids, too. OK??
oh yeah that's the other one. I couldn't think of the title.
THAT movie rules.
i love that movie but more importantly i loved him in that movie. why oh why did he have to go over to the dark-side? why?? swing-heil, peter. hahaha
yeah the ending is SO SAD i cried every time
"it don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing"
My sister and I used to watch Newsies all the time..I know I can sing along to all the songs (we made up dances for them too) and my little sister used to kiss the screen whenever Spot Collins came on.
AND I can whistle "It don't mean a thing"
"It took you months to learn that"
"He must have been a swing kid! A hip cat can never be broken!"
did anyone watch the footage last night? i can't stand katie holmes and the quivering lip. bale looks intense! he got so old.
I saw the footage, pretty hot. I dunno if Katie was right for this role but, then again I only saw the selected scenes...
Katie Holmes is just as bad as Liv Tyler..just cry already! Want to punch them in the face.
I used to like her because Joey Potter and Pacey Witter were the hottest couple that didn't make sense on Dawson's Creek.
the only lip quiverer that i like is clare danes
Does anyone know who Joss Whedon is? He's a pretty bright guy. This is a movie by him. It's HIGH sci-fi for a new generation. This will rawk or sawk. We'll see. The trailer looks decent. Have looks. http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/serenity/
This is the Firefly movie, for any fans of the series.
HAHAHAHAHA I luv the reference yea I am familiar with Joss and his former works*
*snicker
you like that, eh?
Still not sure about this one, I'll wait 'til a few people have seen it and then get some feedback.
I guess it looks like they picked a new James Bond. And Clive Owen turned down the job....
the winnar?? Daniel Craig
ehhhhhh maybe not? I don't know there's conflicting reports...
I heard today that they were making a Miami Vice movie (this I already knew, though), and they were going to be casting Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx as the two main characters.
Fantastic 4 TRAILER!
http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/fantastic_four/internet_exclusive/
Saw a preview for the movie The Interpreter w/ Nicole Kidman looks really good, I'll definately see this.
Nicole Kidman is ALL washed up. Look for Sean Penn and Sydney Pollack in this film. Get with it, Snob.
Booo you, I merely made mention of Nicole. I'm not particularly taken with her one way or the other.
Lords of Dogtown. A movie about the birth of skateboarding. I had high high high hopes for this project. It looks like total crap to me. I think they're going to market it for a teen audience and it may get a PG13. This would not even begin to do justice to the TRUE feel of how it all went down back then. I just don't like the way it looks. Since David Fincher and Roger Avary left the show, the whole thing crapped the bed. Too bad. Watch it though. You might think I'm DEAD wrong.
http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/lordsofdogtown/
thats why they had Dogtown & Zboys....that tells the story, interviews etc. Lords of Dogtown is the story about Staci Peralta BUT its more in the ficticious sense. *i don't know if i'm explaining that right....
I know what you mean. The documentary accomplished the reality aspect of the story. I understand. but that trailer, and those actors, the music! *wretches*
this flick DOMINO looks awesome. S'got Keira Knightly, Lucy Lui, Mena Suvari, Chris Walken, Mickey Rourke, Delroy Lindo, etc. From the writer of Donnie Darko, Richard Kelly and the director of Man on Fire, Matchstic Men, Black Hawk Down, Top Gun, Spy Game, True Romance, etc, TONY SCOTT [top 3 favorite directors of all time]. This looks like quite a ride. Check the trailer. http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?id=1351878&sdm=web&qtw=480&qth=300 NOW!
the music at the end of the trailer rules. wowie.
interesting. but i really hate kiera knightly.
that is because you are ghey...
how am i ghey? you are the one that likes men. you are just jealous of kiera knightly's cut bod.
who says "bod" anymore... honestly... stop watchin 80's movies...
you wanna tell me to stop watching those moives? who has the entire seasons of all 80s tv shows and is always watching them. you and your wife?
i have ONE! macgyver!!! and that was more of a 90's show... so stub ur toe.
stub my toe? dont be so weird.
go play tennis!!!
ya know what? i will and anytime you wanna stop being lazy and come play with me, consider that your butt will get kicked. stomped inot the ground and you would no longer have toes to tell others to stub theirs.
ill play hockey WHILE ur playing tennis!
hockey? like food hockey? like you are going to push y our oreos around on the table before you eat them?
no way! Field Hockey isnt even a sport, only real sport is REGULAR ole hockey....
get this stupid crap outta my forum! take it to the weak sports smack talk forum!
I took your mom there last night... nice place
hey slick i didnt say field hockey, i said FOOD hockey.
You are da man!!! MacGuyver is the best show ever!!
thank you, thank you... Season 1 on dvd man....
I must pick it up.
I adore Christopher Walken who should NEVER be referred to as "Chris". Saw my first two Christopher Walken movies when I was eight. Both Hallmark Hall of Fame movies based on a book Sarah Plain and Tall and it's sequel Skylark. Glen Close might have also starred in these but, I can't recall for sure.
Walken brings "MAGIC" to every movie he does. I'm serious. Want to make a dreadful movie a bit better? Cast Walken.
CORRECTION! Tony Scott didn't direct Matchstick Men. His brother Ridley Scott did.
SIN CITY had such an amazing look, like comic book chic...I knew from the time the promos started out this film is not yet rated it was heading for R. The cast is nearly all A list stars :(
yeah. the new, highly stylized, digital look that Robert Rodriguez is pimping nowadays hasn't appealed to me until THIS. it's taken directly, word for word, picture for picture from the comics. ultra-violent and gritty tho. not for human consumption. no harm in checking the website tho. lots of cool pics,content and games.
My friend at school was showing me the comics because he has them..crazy violent but awesome looking.
I've seen 'em all too. Frank Miller is amazing.
FINALLY! * Alex Kurtzman [fairly new and decent writer] and Roberto Orci [alex's writing buddy] will write the DreamWorks/Paramount live-action adaptation of THE TRANSFORMERS, based on the 1980s Hasbro toy line, for Angry Films and exec producer Steven Spielberg [this insures a measure of quality]. Tom DeSanto wrote the screen story.
I want to see the character designs NOW!
yeah, dude, I can't wait! I hope it's even better than that citroen commercial.
Ender's Game movie news:
http://slashdot.org/articles/05/03/21/1412211.shtml?tid=214&tid=97&tid=1
weird, out-of-the-blue, i was just reading about that on the ender's game movie site this morning. didn't realize it was news
maybe it's not! But I just like to be reminded of the book, and how it might become a movie.
THAT would be awesome... but i am concerned that the movie wont come close to doing the book justice....
For Malibooty. http://www.dottheithemovie.com/
me? thanks, another gael garcia bernal movie?!?! yes!!! it looks interesting but from the trialer i couldn't figure out if he was a stalker or what was going on. i gotta find another preview. and flamenco dancing? all right.
sidenote: summer sent me back to north jersey with pix of him for you that she ripped out of a magazine
hahah?!!!!! really?? now we definetley have to soon make a trip to california pizza kitchen. i havent seen anything about him in print.
Jumanji, The Next Generation! It's called Zathura! John Favreau is directing! Count me in!
http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/zathura/
A Scanner Darkly trailer: http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?id=1340354&sdm=web&qtw=480&qth=300
um. wow.
Definitely count me in for this one. I was hoping Richard Linklater would employ the "film painting" process he used for Waking Life once again, but with a P.K. Dick story? Yes, please. And seconds.
THey are going to make a miami vice movie. I forget who is going to play the Don Johnson role tho...
Colin Farrel is gonna be Crocket and Jamie Fox will be Tubbs. Michael Mann is handling it too. Might be pretty good.
* Dustin Hoffman is joining the cast of STRANGER THAN FICTION for director Marc Forster and Three Strange Angels. Will Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Emma Thompson and Queen Latifah also star in the story of an IRS auditor who inexplicably finds himself the subject of a narrator only he can hear, who tells him that events have been set in motion that will lead to his imminent death. Hoffman will play a professor who helps the auditor in his attempts to find the narrator and to change his story before it's too late.
This could be really good. I could think of some funny stuff that would/could happen. I like Emma Thompson a lot. Dustin Hoffman is a sure bet too.

aw junk. You can't search for page numbers (as far as I can tell). I remember I had gotten to a part where they were on earth, and a floating couch popped up, and they sat on it, and were wisked away to some place. I forget exactly what was going on.... But I can't seem to find it.
yeah, you can search for page numbers... works for me at least.
oh man i forgot i had it! it's in a box somewhere. I can give it back and borrow from a library or something!

Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, producers of the James Bond films, and MGM announced today that Martin Campbell will direct CASINO ROYALE, the 21st film in the 007 franchise.
This is Campbell’s second time as helmer of a James Bond film. In 1995 he directed the hit GOLDENEYE which introduced Pierce Brosnan to the role of 007 with great success.
Wilson and Broccoli said:
“We are thrilled that Martin has accepted our offer to direct CASINO ROYALE. He is an extremely talented director and we believe he will help take our films in a new and exciting direction. He is currently finishing filming ‘Legend Of Zorro’, the sequel to ‘The Mask Of Zorro’, and will be joining EON Productions shortly to work on the development of the script with our writers, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.”
MGM Vice Chairman and COO Chris McGurk said: “Martin is an incredibly exciting filmmaker. GOLDENEYE was a wonderful movie and helped reinvigorate the Bond franchise. We’re thrilled to have him back to direct the newest Bond.”
Born in New Zealand, Campbell moved to England in 1966 and made his directorial debut on the popular TV series’ ‘The Professionals’ and ‘Minder’. He moved to America in 1986 to direct ‘Criminal Law’ and ‘Defenceless’. Following GOLDENEYE, he went on to direct ‘The Mask Of Zorro’, ‘Vertical Limit’ and ‘Beyond Borders’ and is currently directing ‘Legend Of Zorro’.
CASINO ROYALE will be released in 2006 and distributed world-wide by MGM. No decision has yet been made regarding casting for the role of ‘James Bond’.
Casino Royale. The original was a campy spy romp. Awesome movie. Rent it.
This remake was rumored to be Quentin Tarantino's new film [this would have rocked so hard]. I don't really care for this director either way, but I'm worried he may drop the ball. The feel of this movie is--perhaps the missing link between Austin Powers and a real, serious Bond flick. The tone is hard to peg without brushing either extreme. QT could do this with his eyes closed. Even as is--this will be an event. Everyone will be talking about this movie as time goes on. Watch.
PS: I have no idea if Peirce Brosnan is on or out the bond tux. This is a smart ploy to bring attention to the franchise. I personally think he'll hang it up after just ONE more. Watch for this as well.
Director Martin Campbell, who was recently announced as the director of the new Bond film CASINO ROYALE, recently spoke to The New York Daily News about his plans for the upcoming film. He mentioned, first of all, that this film will be a "grittier, tougher and more realistic Bond movie." So, don't expect to see any invisible cars or ice boarding in arctic weather. As for who will be playing Bond, Campbell does offer some insight, mentioning "in the new film, Bond is essentially starting out in his career, and has just recently become part of the double-0 section," adding "the idea is to put a bit of the dash back in Bond. By the end of the movie, the character will have been forged into the wiser, harder Bond we know." Campbell is currently filming the sequel THE LEGEND OF ZORRO with Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones.
All of these going back to the begining movies (batman?). This actually sounds really awesome because the Bond movies have become so cheesy.
I heard that talks are between Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck), and Clive Owen (Closer) to play the next Bond.....interesting.
That's right! It's a toss up. Myself? I'd give it to Clive.
I agree. Not to say I don't adore looking at Julian McMahon (he is SO fine!), but just think Clive could pull it off better. He's got one up on Julian, being that he's British and all....
I just have to say, I'm just glad it's not P. Diddy that gets the role.
or Jude Law. He needs to not be in a movie for a week or so.
haha. did you see that at the oscars chris rock is like, "yo what's up with jude law and why is he in every movie in the theater?"
Actually. I laughed really long and hard. I've been saying that for months. I agree that he's becoming overexposed.
Here's a weird movie trailer: Kung Fu Hustle.
Ouch, buddy. I posted this trailer already. STILL, this movie is NUTS. Very entertaining.
oooooo, I knew I should have checked, I just didn't bother, haha. Sorry!
Haha, don't be sorry. It's well needed "bump." Only reason I brought it up is because what're the chances an obscure movie like this would get mentioned twice by two people who didn't confer on the subject?
You can buy it on DVD already?

Disney's going to remake TRON!!!!!
http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire2005/index.php?category=0&id=30173
did the original ever come out on dvd?
this should be cool. after playing Tron 2.0, I figured it would make a pretty good movie. I wonder if they'll use the same story line.
if this has a decent rating, i am so going to see it. i love jane fonda and michael vartan is pretty cute.

Some nostalgesque movies that'll be coming out..
Dukes of Hazzard
The Bad News Bears remake
The Shaggy Dog remake
Don't forget Kirby the Love Bug and as someone below mentioned a new Pink Panther movie!
I'm looking forward to Bad News Bears especially. A surly drunk teaching kids to play rough little league baseball? Count me in. I love Billy Bob Thornton.
Here's the star lineups..
Tim Allen, Kristin Davis, Danny Glover and Craig Kilborn to play in The Shaggy Dog.. Seann William Scott, Johnny Knoxville, Willie Nelson, Jessica Simpson, and Burt Reynolds to play in Dukes.. and Billy Bob Thornton (as you mentioned), Greg Kinnear and Marcia Gay Harden to play in Bad News. I'm especially interested in seeing the Dukes and Bad News. Should be a laugh.,. the pair of them
i loved the bad news bears! totally a dad & summer flic.
Hollywood is no longer creative.
Half true. There are some VERY creative directors out there, doing innovative things. Hollywood has lost A LOT of it's creativity.
A Fantastic Four movie, starring Michael Chiklis, Jessica Alba, and Julian McMahon, among others. Not sure if this was mentioned before, but the small details I got look cool.
this sounds decent. of course there will be a lot of morons saying this movie ripped off "The Incredibles" (groan)
it's clearly the opposite.
not to people who've never heard of Fantastic Four. I can imagine tons of 12 year old girls saying it.
BTW - anyone ever seend the LOW budget version of this done in the 80s? hard to find, got it off bittorrent a while ago. its sooo craptacular, but I thought they did The THING really well.
i like michael chiklis. i like him better commish-size.
holy old school
this is a pretty big event to a lot of people. i....just have no desire to see it and the talent and quality look really bad. i'll definitely see it though.

Fantastic Four Trailer:
a new pink panther movie starring Steve Martin
http://www.mgm.com/pinkpantherthemovie/home.html
If you wait long enough, you can watch a trailer for it.
* Paramount has acquired film rights to Tom Clancy's videogame SPLINTER CELL and hired Peter Berg (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS) to direct. Berg is penning the script along with vidgame writer J.T. Petty and John J. McLaughlin (MAN OF THE HOUSE). It follows the adventures of government spy Sam Fisher as he's dispatched to infiltrate an international terrorist syndicate and stop a high-tech threat. This director has a real feel for atmosphere, I think it'll be good. CASTING SPECULATION BEGINS NOW!
* Twentieth Century Fox has set Sheldon Turner (THE LONGEST YARD, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR remakes) to write MAGNETO, an action-thriller based on the villainous character played in the first two X-MEN films by Ian McKellen. Pic most likely will be produced by Lauren Shuler Donner and Avi Arad. The original X-MEN film began with a prologue that showed his character as a child being led to a concentration camp by Nazis, and that is the period in which the Magneto film will take place. This setup will allow a future villain to at least flirt with the designation of protagonist. Storyline will heavily involve Professor X, the wheelchair-using X-Men leader played in the films by Patrick Stewart. That character was a soldier in the allied force that liberated the concentration camps. The professor meets Magneto after the war, and while they bond over the realization that they are alike in their special powers, their differences soon turn them into enemies. Oh, Heck Yeah. I doubt Ian McKellan will sign up, but THIS will be pretty interesting.
yeah, sounds good. I don't think they'd need either Ian McKellan or Patrick Stewart, since the characters would be much younger. In some comics I read, they worked together after the war, can't remember what they did, but I think they were unaware of each other's powers for a bit. should be an interesting movie.
true true. i wonder what young actors they'd use.
*NEWS * Harrison Ford is attached to play one of the key characters in an ensemble drama that marks the first major feature project about the current war in Iraq. Universal-based Double Feature have optioned the upcoming book NO TRUE GLORY: THE BATTLE FOR FALLUJAH, written by Bing West, an ex-Marine and former assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs who is now a foreign correspondent covering the Iraq war. West will write the script with son Owen, a longtime Marine rifleman who left the service to become a trader at Goldman Sachs but returned to fight in Iraq for a year. The project will use the Fallujah assault as a way to explore the dangerous intersection of war and politics, depicting the drama from the viewpoints of soldiers, military leaders and politicians. I'm interested.
*NEWS Chris Cooper has been drafted to play the commander of an elite Marine sniper unit in the bigscreen adaptation of Anthony Swofford's Gulf War memoir JARHEAD for director Sam Mendes [American Beauty, Road to Perdition] and Universal. Jake Gyllenhaal, Jamie Foxx and Peter Sarsgaard also star. William Broyles scripted. Awesome cast. Awesome director. Anything about a sniper = pretty interesting.
Some major STAR WARS EP3 Spoilers
http://www.idontfear.com/
Kinda weird. Maynard James Keenan of Tool and A Perfect Circle is in an independent film with Brad Wilk from Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. Movie looks questionable I guess (ghosts? or something?) but still kinda weird to see these two in a movie. Maynard looks SO WEIRD as a geeky cop! hahaha
they're hot
I saw the trailer for "War of the Worlds" the other day. Looks pretty intruiging.....wonder what the rating will be.
PG-13. Undoubtedly. It's Spielberg, Cruise, and Dakota Fanning for crying out loud. Also if you consider how much money they've put into it--making it R would make it inaccessible to a lot of potential ticket buyers. And a PG rating would scare off the more mature and also perhaps the blood thirsty patrons. They can't afford to make it anything BUT PG-13.
I love Dakota Fanning. She is the cutest girl in the world.
This movie definetly interests me. Maybe I'll make an attempt to read the book again.
Star studded flick based on a series of comic books by Frank Miller [what movie isn't nowadays?] Sin City. I like some of Frank Miller's graphic novels. This movie has a very original style and feel.
http://www.themoviebox.net/movies/2005/STUVWXYZ/SinCity/trailer.php
hottt cast!!
That looks pretty awesome. Just the coloring is cool!
i saw the trailer for mr. and mrs. smith, that movie starring angelina jolie and brad pitt as secret assassins who are married to each other and (suprise!) hired to kill each other. Seems like its going to be pretty CORNY but i'll probably go see it anyway
yeah, because that's what I do. I do a trick, and honk the horn. sssilly billiesss.
lol, "you got any cheese doodlessssss? *honk honk* see that's what i do, i ask for a snack and i honk the horn"
I thought it was snack, but I didn't think it made sssenssse.
An epic movie about John Smith and his experiences with the Native Americans. Terrance Malick is THE man. His visuals are stunning. Just look at that Indian war paint. Chills. The movie is called THE NEW WORLD. Check out the trailer.
http://www.thenewworldmovie.com/
colin farrell is john smith?? no more blonde hair blue eyes haha oh and christian bale is in this movie!!
good eyes
looks pretty neat! I couldn't hear it, though...I just had to watch with the sound off...because I'm at work
you missed native american music
yeah. drums and flutes. pretty cool stuff.
The new this week Meet The Fockers takes the lead for yet ANOTHER week ruling the box office!
since others threw in their reviews....I saw "National Treasure". I give it one thumb up for the goonies/indiana jones/tomb raider sort of feel, and one thumb down for the super cheesy lines and scenes. I'm kind of disappointed by Disney on this one.
I saw Oceans 12 last night. Pretty good. Although I never saw Oceans 11, so some of it didn't make sense, but it was funny/witty/interesting. I like all the double-crossing; it kept my interest although it was like 2 hours long.
it's plenty ok that you never saw Oceans 11. these movies are completely different. not even to be compared. i liked 'em both immensely..
I'll start it off with a little sumpin' sumpin'
New Batman Begins teaser trailer. This shows a LOT more than the first one. HOTTTTTT

Count me in for this one. I was hoping they'd skip the rubber suit this time, but enough is revised stylistically and story-wise that this will be the best batman movie yet.
That looks great. All that training. Liam Neisen is pretty cool. I'm psyched!
Looks liks it has a more realistic feel. I laughed out loud during the last Batman movie. It was cheesier than the 60's tv show.
