Film Ick) but it sounds terrible. It's a techno rock Linkin Park song (at least it sounds like them) and I laughed my ass off all the way through at how stupid it sounds! A Shoot 'Em Up sequel has already been written,
according to it's director Michael Davis. The original thriller starring Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti and Monica Belluci opens in September. A remake of the 1973 horror movie
The Legend of Hell House is in the works over at Fox Atomic. Roddy McDowell starred in the original which was an adaptation of a Richard Matheson novel, the same guy who wrote the sci-fi book I Am Legend. Vadim Perelman is set to direct a remake of the 2001 Korean film
Falian. Shooting begins in the fall on the currently untitled picture which revolves around a young refugee arriving from Russia and winding up in the clutches of Russian mobsters in Brighton Beach.
Taildraggers, a lame sounding pilot comedy movie is in development. There are new trailers for Neil Jordan's new drama
The Brave One starring Jodie Foster (which looks superb) and Greg McLean's follow-up horror movie to Wolf Creek in 2005, with
Rogue (which doesn't). Thanks to
Filmstalker for the links! There's a great preview clip for the upcoming Jaws documentary
The Shark is Still Working online at BDTV.
Peter Cullen speaks of his experiences returning to voice Optimus Prime in the Transformers movie, in a great interview at Supehero Hype...
I was just explaining to a person earlier that when I watched Optimus for the first time and the beeps went off to signal me to speak I was speechless. My jaw kind of hung down. I went "oh wow." And they rolled it again and I was speechless still because I'm gawking at it and it was rather humorous. I had to apologize "I'm sorry guys but this is awesome." So that's how that went.
