‘EPISODE VII’ News: Oscar Isaac up for major role. Plus Ford has “gigantic” role. Uh?
Shit, I’ll level with you. Probably none of this is actually news. First up. Oscar Isaac is up for a “major role”, if theater commitments can be accommodated. Second up. Harrison Ford has a “gigantic role” in Episode VII. Yup –you’ve read that right. In the blackout that surrounds Episode VII, mentioning that HAN FUCKING SOLO has a BIG ROLE is news. Am I perpetuating it? Aye.
Rumor: BRADLEY COOPER eyed to STAR in ‘INDIANA JONES’ reboot. Uhhhhhhh.
Uhhh. So like, how about this one? Bradley Cooper? Indiana Jones? That’s the word out of Latino Review’s corner of the rotting carcass that is the Pop Culture Interwebs. And friends, they get a lot of things right when it comes to rumors. But fuck yo, I don’t know how I feel about this. Whatever. I’m just going to nod to myself and repeat the phrase “It can’t be worse than Crystal Skull” until I attain Nirvana. Or go back to playing Second Son. One of those two.
‘EPISODE VII’ News: Ford, Fisher, and Hamill due on set THIS SPRING.
Zounds! It’s really happening. Really, really happening. And I can’t help it, I’m torqued. Carrie Fisher says Hamill, Ford, and she will be on set soon. On fucking set. Ignite lightsaber. Watch your eyes.
HARRISON FORD starring in ‘EXPENDABLES 3’, thereby BLOWING MY F**KING MIND
Really, Harry? I mean I know you still rock that bad ass earring and all. But sheesh. Years of not wanting to associate with Star Wars (something rectified by the money truck for Episode VII, I bet), and you sign on for this? Hey man. Whatever floats your fucking boat. Whatever makes your earring shine in the daylight.
‘ENDER’S GAME’ TRAILER: I SHOULD READ THIS BOOK.
Despite The Dude lending me his copy of Ender’s Game something like five years ago at this point, I ain’t never read it. With this first trailer getting me a bit intrigued, it seems that now may be the time to shove this classic deep into my synapses.
HARRISON FORD has joined ‘ANCHORMAN 2.’ Interesting.
Harry Ford is going to be up in the Anchorman 2 house. I can get behind that. Here is hoping that whatever sort of preparation goes into this role involves finding some way to unmelt his face. Good lord, the guy sort of freaks me out these days.
First Look: HARRISON FORD in ‘ENDER’S GAME.’ Are you excite?
I’m one of those assholes who still hasn’t read Ender’s Game, despite The Dude lending me his copy. What I did do was assuredly banish his copy to some Black Hole somewhere, after it slipped out from my car’s back seat and into infinity. Sorry dude! I love you. For those who are down with The Game, here is a first look at Harry Ford in the movie.
Ridley Scott DOES Want Harrison Ford For ‘BLADE RUNNER’ SEQUEL. Wut?
I was pretty cool with a Blade Runner sequel happening, so long as it was telling a new tale in the glorious cyberpunkverse I had come to splooge on. I didn’t want no haggard ass Harry Ford and his dangling earring running through it. As my Dad used to say, “How does it feel to want?” Pretty shitty, pah. Maybe it won’t be as bad as it seems.
Buggers Beware! Ender’s Game Is Blogging!!!
Despite the fact that Orson Scott Card is a raging homophobe, there’s no denying that Ender’s Game is one of the classics of science fiction literature. In it, a young boy named Ender Wiggin is taken to Battle School where is gifts as a strategist are revealed. His talent is used in the ongoing conflict with the “buggers” – an alien race who won’t stop fronting on the human race. It’s “sequel” Speaker for the Dead, is one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. Period.
After decades of planned adaptation, the book is finally coming to the big screen with Hugo‘s Asa Butterfield as the lead, Gavin Hood (Tsotsi) directing, and Roberto Orci producing. The crew has started a Tumblr so we can all follow along with the production at home. This excites me more than Taco Tuesdays or Pizza Mon-Fridays.
Producer Says It’s ‘Patently False’ Ford Is In Talks For ‘Blade Runner’ Sequel. Phew.
As Forrest Gump once said, “Rumors is as rumors does, boogers, cliche pop culture reference, tee-hee pee joke”. We should have recalled that line from that movie over the weekend, when it rumors about Harrison Ford appearing in the Blade Runner sequel came to boil. It ain’t happening folks! Probably.
