‘Uncharted’ movie getting script from ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ and ‘Hurt Locker’ writer
I’m down for an Uncharted movie. Since it essentially is a video game that wants to be Indiana Jones. Movies influencing video games influencing movies. The cultural ouroboros that writhes just below our level of perception momentarily peeking its head out. So if it must happen — and I want it to happen — why not have the adaptation land a dope writer?
Christoph Waltz all up in ‘Bond 24’
Is there anything you wouldn’t want to see Christoph Waltz in? Oh, Green Hornet you say? I ain’t never seen it but I appreciate your contribution. My personal response? Fuck naw! And I definitely ain’t opposed to seeing him up in my favorite Spy Flick Franchise.
Michael B. Jordan starring in ‘Rocky’ spin-off, ‘Creed’
There’s a Rocky spin-off coming. What the fuck, right? But! Perhaps room for some reticent optimism? I mean. For example. For! For example. Did any of us think Lego Movie was needed? Or would be good? Nah! So there. And. Second. Second! Second. Michael B. Jordan is a hell of an actor.
LOLWUT: Sony considering Aunt May spin-off movie
I’ll hand it to Sony. They have absolutely no fucking idea what they’re doing with the Spider-Man franchise. Like, no idea at all. Soft-reboot? Female-led spin-off? Sinister Six getting their own movie? All of these? None of these? And Kevin Feige eating raw souls and cackling as each report comes out. Just knowing, knowing the chance of the MCU snagging the license back (or sharing it) increases with every insane proposal Sony farts out.
James Gunn spits about ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ trilogy
James Gunn seems fucking down with the Marvel Process, man. Whereas it has burned out other directors (understandably), Gunn seems committed to riding the Guardians all the way through a complete trilogy. As someone who loved GotG, this fucking excites me. Recently, Gunn spoke about his longterm plan for the Band of Assholes.
Margot Robbie playing Harley Quinn in ‘Suicide Squad’
I don’t know Margot Robbie. I know she was in Markus Scorceze’s thirteen-hour movie, The Scarface of Fart Street. So I don’t know if I should be excited or not that she’s playing Harley Quinn. I mean, she sort of looks like Quinn?
Finalized cast for ‘The Hateful Eight’ has been revealed. Let’s do this.
Tarantino and company have dropped the final cast for The Hateful Eight on our asses. And boy is it dope. I love the eccentricities of Tarantino’s castings for all his flick, with the Excitable One (I can relate) often going with choices outside the Hollywood Machine’s box.
Maybe: Jared Leto joining ‘Suicide Square’ flick as The Joker
Can’t just take a nice fucking Friday night off, eh? The Internet refuses to Stop. Like I’m trying to eat dinner and get ready to hang out with Rendar and this shit drops. Whatever. Okay. Jared Leto as Joker. What do you think? 1,2,3, go! I’m down with it.
‘Toy Story 4’ is a thing. Arriving June 2017.
I’m in a fucking bind here, guys. I know deep down in my heart that more Star Wars stories aren’t needed. But I want them. I need them. So when I want to say Toy Story 4 isn’t needed…I can’t. I realize the situation. I realize the Truth. I don’t have a fucking leg to stand on. I get it. So if you’re excited, enjoy this movie. Be merry. I can’t be a hypocrite.
Channing Tatum may be in Tarantino’s ‘The Hateful Eight’
So uh. Yeah. I completely forgot to cover the news this week that Tatum-Gambit is going forward. Sorry! Apologies. Let me make it up to you with this slice of Cinematic Casting. Apparently the Gorgeous, Well-Dancing, Comedically Inclined, Superhero Portrayer is up for a role in a Tarantino flick. Dope.
