Titanic 2, no longer a joke idea. →
Well, its still a joke but a direct to DVD, actually exists way:
On the 100th anniversary of the original voyage, a modern luxury liner christened “Titanic 2,” follows the path of its namesake. But when a tsunami hurls an ice berg into the new ship’s path, the passengers and crew must fight to avoid a similar fate.

3D Remake Of Jaws With Tracy Morgan? →
synecdoche: best. rumor. ever.
— I’ll just keep my mouth shut until this gets confirmed. Until then, I hope it’s a realllly early April Fools joke.

Oh no please don't direct that.
This post is brought to you by not one but two news stories:
SAM MENDES TO DIRECT NEXT JAMES BOND FILM and…
RON HOWARD TO DIRECT VINCE VAUGHN COMEDY
Neither of these are rumors. Rumors I could deal with. But in fact both of these men have signed to direct these films.
It’s selfish of me to ask an acclaimed director not to direct a big commercial film. I understand they have families...

'Saved By the Bell' to Become a Movie? →
Take this rumor with a grain of salt, but WorstPreviews is reporting that producer Jonathan Shestack (Disturbing Behavior, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past) has secured the film rights to Saved By The Bell.
Apparently, it will be an update, think Miami Vice or Charlie’s Angels, with a new cast and hopefully featuring cameos from the originals.
I’m always skeptical of how a multi-camera...

'Family Guy' to Spoof Indiana Jones and Back to... →
I’ll admit it I enjoy the occasional Family Guy episode. It’s silly, broad, referential gag comedy but it’s aware of this fact and is good at being itself. The Star Wars special was alright, I wouldn’t say anything miraculous. I still don’t understand how Lucas let them do it, but he did. When they announced a Star Wars parody sequel (to Empire Strikes Back) I...

Youtube's "Fred" to become feature length film
Hollywood in recent years has raced to mine the Internet for raw talent capable of crossing over to traditional platforms like movies and television, the places where the real money is still made. Those efforts have largely failed. Another pair of YouTube sensations, Ryan Higa and Sean Fujiyoshi, tried with “Ryan and Sean’s Not So Excellent Adventure” last year, for instance, but it never took...

Kristen Wiig to host SNL Christmas special as... →
(via acewepeel)
This is a personal invitation asking me not to tune in. While I seem to be in the minority in not finding Wiig’s characters on SNL all that funny, I’m not sure Gilly is one that gets a lot of applause…
I don’t want to watch Gilly in a 2 minute sketch, so I certainly won’t want to be subjected to her constantly. Bah humbug. ___ by Andrew Richards

Shrek Four to be the franchise's last. Yeah, sure. →
/Film is reporting via USA Today that the upcoming fourth Shrek film will be the last in the series. Respectfully and graciously I say unto this, “Bullshit.”
Dreamworks (and Hollywood as a whole) have very few franchises that can make such serious bank (the other remaining heavy hitters: Spider Man, Twilight, Harry Potter, Batman, Pirates.) The fact that they would give up on one of...

The Shining 2
Dear Stephen King,
Absolutely not. I realize you are just kicking around the idea. And I realize this will involve you writing a novel first. But here’s the thing:
We don’t need to continue that story on the page or the screen. I mean, I can’t even really think of why you need to continue that. And so many years later? It smells like you’re 100% of any sort or original...

The Crow: The Remake
NO.
Something that already should have been left alone instead of releasing two awful “sequels” certainly doesn’t need a fucking remake or reboot. I won’t care if it’s a good script. I will not care if you come up with some brilliant casting.
Just leave The Crow alone.
Leave Brandon Lee’s legacy alone.
I implore you, Hollywood. PLEASE. Just. Don’t.

American Gladiators... THE MOVIE.
Back in 1989 we got our first taste of American Gladiators when there was nothing else to watch on a Saturday. Somehow, for 8 seasons, spandex-clan average Joes and Janes competed against spandex American flag-wearing bodybuilders with silly names (Blaze, Zap, Tower, Sky) in such “classic” games as The Assault, The Wall, Hang Tough, and Joust.
I fully admit as a pre-teen dude, I...

'New Moon' Crushes Most American's Hopes of...
Claiming the record for the biggest one-day gross, The Twilight Saga: New Moon raked in an estimated $72.7 million on approximately 8,500 screens at 4,024 sites. The Dark Knight was the previous title holder with $67.2 million on around 9,300 screens at 4,366 sites.
Who would have thought that a movie about glittery vampires would end up in the record books? I don’t know whether we should...

Roland Emmerich wants to almost end the world....
As 2012 opens to a projected $200 million weekend, rumor has it director Roland Emmerich has plans for more destruction. He recently revealed to MTV that not only is he interested in making a sequel to Independence Day, but that he wants to make it a two-filmer. That’s right… ID4-Ever Part I & ID4-Ever Part II.
So far there aren’t any real story details. So, no word on if...

Congratulations America (and the rest of the world), it’s a Tidal Wave of Money for 2012: Breaks $200 Million Worldwide! You have just solidified a 2012 franchise and a future of disaster porn flicks from Roland Emmerich. Just when we thought this was all over with - thanks to his spectacular flop 10,000 BC - you all have to go and make this one a hit. No please, keep shelling out $65 million...

– Saint Nate
You know, we shouldn’t make jokes like this. Especially considering the likely fact that Robert Zemeckis has moved so deep into his whole new mo-cap world. I bet he doesn’t care about Back to the Future as much as we do. Now the real question is who’d play Marty McFly?...
