I think that most horror fans are all kinds of excited for the Sam Raimi/Bruce Campbell endorsed Evil Dead remake that will hit theatres in April. If that prospect was not enough, a few days ago the original Evil Dead’s director Sam Raimi made what sounded like an incredibly exciting announcement (via /Film): that he would begin working on an Evil Dead 4 script over the summer . The script would probably be written with his brother and frequent collaborator Ivan Raimi, who scripted Army Of Darkness.
With Johnny Depp’s part in Wally Pfister’s Transcendence confirmed, there’s nothing to do now but sit back and wait for the other casting choices to start rolling in. Christian Bale has been mentioned as possible lead alongside Depp, but that might be wishful thinking. We're getting word that Paul Bettany is in negotiations to star as well. If true, that would mean that we would have Paul Bettany and Johnny Depp on the same screen. Together. I might need to take a moment.
Yep, it’s me again, running around the room shouting, “You guys! You guys! Oh my God, you guys!” As if I was not thrilled enough by the additions of both James Marsden and Kristen Wiig to the cast of Anchorman: The Legend Continues, we can now add the name John C. Reilly to the growing cast list of awesome awesomeness.
Has it really been seven years since the last time we saw a David Lynch feature film? Reliable sources tell me that it has, since Inland Empire came out way back in 2006, when I was a young ingenue. Of course, Lynch has not exactly vanished, hanging out with Louis C.K., tweeting about transcendental meditation, making art, being David Lynch. But nothing on a proper David Lynch film has yet hit the interwebs … until now.
Now that I have recovered from my post-Oscars malaise/anger management session, let us return to the important things in life. Namely, what reboot is being considered and who will appear in it! So let's get right to it: we have word that James McAvoy is looking into playing the lead role in the projected reboot of The Crow.
I’m trying really hard to control my excitement for Anchorman: The Legend Continues. I know that sequels to beloved originals – especially comedies – are often disappointments. I know the lightning rarely strikes in the same place twice. I know … but I can hope. This latest news, though, makes it really difficult for me not to run around the apartment screaming “You guys! You Guys! Seriously! Oh my God, you guys!” Because James Marsden has been cast as Ron Burgundy’s nemesis.
Those that know me, know that Shia LaBeouf is a passion of mine. Not his acting – that’s atrocious – but how very awesome he seems to think himself, and how very ridiculous he comes off when he tries to be serious. Or funny. Or an actor. But all those ridiculous stories he’s been passing around, like that he drank moonshine to get into character for Lawless or dropped acid for The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman? According to Lawless co-star Mia Wasikowska, those stories were all true.
I would very much like to quote the Imperial March, but that’s somewhat difficult to do in writing. So I’ll just state that John Williams, who famously scored the original Star Wars trilogy, and everything that George Lucas or Steven Spielberg have ever done, ever, would like to return to scoring duties for Star Wars Episode VII.
Insert The Dark Knight Rises rivalry joke here. I cannot do it because it’s too early in the morning. But that is the joke that’s being passed around the interwebs, as it has been announced that both Tom Hardy and Christian Bale are working on Everest – which, by the way, is the title of two different films.
Oh, the rumors! The instant that Lucasfilm went to Disney and Disney announced the return of the Star Wars franchise was the instant that everyone went: “Bring on the wild speculation!” And here it is, at its wildest! Reports have surfaced that both Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher may be returning for Star Wars Episode VII.
