Yes yes more Joker news. But I just had to report this one. Another name has surfaced that was apparently being batted around (get it??? “Batted” around? hahaha… oh shut up). Agent Smith/Lord Elrond/Terrorist Code Named V himself Hugo Weaving.

According to reports over at the oddly accurate fan site Batman On Film.Com, Hugo Weaving’s name was talked about by the studios before, and is now being considered again.

Ok, I really don’t know what to think anymore. I change my mind on this issue faster than a politician the day after elections. But man I would LOVE to see Weaving as the clown prince of crime. This guy is just AMAZING and always solid (His ability in V for Vendetta was Oscar worthy. How the hell do you emote so much feeling and emotion with a frigging mask on the whole movie?!?!?!

Anyway, see the poll below and register your thoughts.

You know, with all of the Joker rumours and discussion going on, I thouht I’d put it to an unofficial vote with a poll.

So, in the poll below, let us know who you think would make the best Joker for the next Batman film. If you REALLY think it should be someone else other than a person on the like, leave their name in the comments section. But try to place a vote anyway with the names available.

If you had no interest in Ocean’s 13… get ready to change your mind. It’s now being reported that Al Pacino has singed on to appear in Ocean’s 13. His character will apparently be some sort of Casino owner. Perhaps another/tougher version of the Andy Garcia character from the first 2 films?

Exactly how much talent can you cram into one movie?!?! This cast is getting insane! As long as the script doesn’t totally suck it’ll be fun to watch if for no other reason than the performers on the screen. Yikes!

Now… if they can only find a way to get Johnny Depp in there too.

I’m one of the few people who really doesn’t mind the idea of remakes. If it’s done well, a good re-telling of a great story can be fun. When done badly… it sucks harder than Jenna Jameson.

It’s now being reported that Brendan Fraser has joined up to star in Journey to the Center of the Earth which will apparently be done in 3-D. I actually like Fraser a lot, he has a lot more range than people give him credit for. The good folks over at M&C give us this:

The story revolves around a scientist who is stuck with his nephew as they embark on a trip to Iceland to check on a volcanic sensor. During a storm, they get trapped in a cave, and the only way out is through the center of Earth.

I know a lot of people will roll their eyes at this one, but I actually think it sounds like fun.

It took a lot of balls to make United 93. The potential for angry backlash is HUGE!!! But the film’s producers seem to have done it right. They enlisted the help of the families of the people on Flight 93 and consulted with the through the whole process. The film opened at the Tribecca Film Festival (Also gutsy to open the film in New York), and the response seems to be very positive.

The folks at Yahoo News give us this:

At Tuesday’s premiere, the screen went dark after the stomach-turning sequence showing the plane’s nosedive. The theater was silent except for the gut-wrenching sobs and wails from the loge, where the relatives were seated together.

Moviegoers absorbed and shared their pain. Throughout the screening, they wept, drew sharp breaths, gasped and covered their faces with their hands. They shifted in their seats, sometimes to look back at the family section.

“You saw moviemaking and real life come together,” said Jeffrey Sachs, a consultant from Manhattan who attended the premiere. “It fills in the mystery of what happened.”

It sounds like the film accomplished exactly what it set out to do. Be a respectful telling of the story of United 93. I haven’t seen the film yet myself… but if they did pull that off, the producers and director will deserve a lot of praise. I’ll be the first one to give it to them.

Hey there folks, John here.

Ok, as some of you know (and even fewer of you care about) I’ve just hit the road for an extended filming segment for my upcoming documentary “The Prince Of Peace - The God of War”. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a look at the paradox within the North American christian church of a majority of the Religious Right that support war… and yet the teachings of its founder seem to suggest a life of non-violence for his followers.

To answer a couple of questions that a bunch of people have understandably asked me. 1) No, this project is NOT anti-Christian. I was once a Christian myself and have the deepest respect for that faith. Asking hard questions is not disrespect. 2) No, it’s probably not going to be very good. Although I have a history in editing and producing short film, this is my first kick at the can at a documentary. 3) Yes, I am interviewing religious and political leaders from both sides of the issue. 4) Yes, I am going down to the US as well, but that part will be at the end of May/begining of June.

I already started filming a few weeks ago, but this leg of the project began on Sunday when I left Hamilton Ontario to head out west. I drove 8 hours the first day and stayed over night in Sault St. Marie, Ontario. Then drove 7 more hours the next day and stayed overnight in Thunder Bay (home of Paul Schaffer from the David Letterman show). Yesterday I drove from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg and interviewed Dr. Michael Gilmour, Professor of New Testament at Providence Seminary (great guy), and then proceeded to drive to Regina, Saskatchewan. All in all I drove 15 hours yesterday and my ass is killing me!

I’m going to relax in Regina for the rest of today and tomorrow, and then head to Saskatoon, Saskatchwan tomorrow night. I’ll be there for a couple of days and I’ll be interviewing Jordon Cooper, founder of Resonate Canada. I’ll be staying at Myron’s place (it’s his bands music that is the theme of The Audio Edition). He told me he’s making me Steak! Still 6 more cities after Saskatoon!

I’ll still be posting (obviously) from the road, and I’m going to try to join Doug and Darren for an Audio Edition or 2 over Skype or something. If I can’t it’s no bid deal, they’re obviously doing a great job without me. Maybe better.

Another update in a couple of days. (Oh, and keep emailing me… it makes me feel all special)

I’ve said a dozen times that there is no single movie project I am looking forward to more than the upcoming Transformers movie. And slam Bay all you want, I actually think he is the man for this particular job. I was starting to get a little worried about the film when I saw how big the human cast was getting… untill…

The lucky bastards over at AICN got to interview Michael Bay (the director) about The Transformers. And in the interview he shares some amazing stuff. Including:

1) They ARE INDEED auditioning the ORIGINAL voice actors for The Transformers!!!! That’s not to say they WILL be cast. Bay wants to make sure their voices haven’t aged too much (which makes sense to me)

2) We DO INDEED see Cybertron!

3) There is an Optimus Prime and Megatron Fight in downtown Los Angeles!!!!!

4) Scorponok is in the movie

5) The characters are being slightly re-designed so they won’t be as “blocky”. This also makes good sense to me.

6) The Movie starts in Antartica with a man finding something strange in the ice (geee… I wonder what that might be)

7) Action Action Action - “From the animatics, the action seemed to be huge and what you’d want from a movie like this. Of course, Bay’s fingerprints are all over them, even at this early stage of planning. I saw fights between fully transformed Autobots and Decepticons that had them plucking lamp posts out of the ground and smashing the other with the blocky concrete end, I saw them jumping all over each other, only to be shot back by an arm cannon, I saw mid-air transformations from a Jet into a robot as it collides a standing robot in downtown LA” Yes Yes Yes!!!

8) Movie starts shooting NEXT MONTH

9) Teaser trailer comes to us July 4th

10) Optimus will still indeed be a Mac truck

Ok, I’m officially back on the band wagon again. I’m going to see this thing 12 times in the first 3 days of release no matter how good or bad it ends up being.

Your thoughts?

For a few years, INXS was arguably the 2nd biggest band in the world (U2 was really rolling at the time). The suicide of frontman Michael Hutchence was a true tragedy for the music world (even though it’s nice having a Canadian as the lead singer now).

There is a project in the works to do a movie on the life of Hutchence, and Johnny Depp’s name is being thrown around as the top of the list candidate for the role. The good folks over at JoBlo give us this:

Producers are further looking to round out the cast with an ambitious list of names that include Eric Bana, Sienna Miller, Naomi Watts, Eva Green, Patsy Kensit, Hayden Christensen, Stephen Rea, Joss Ackland, Rachel Griffiths, and Julie Walters. The film, which has a working title of SLIDE AWAY (references an INXS-U2 duet) is under director Nick Egan, who directed a lot of INXS’s more popular videos, and contrary to the rumor that has recently surfaced, Hutchence’s father is not upset about the film and is cooperating with the production through Hutchence’s Trust.

I don’t know why I get so fascinated by Rock bios. Maybe it’s the tragedy of them… maybe it’s just that they remind me that these gods amongst men are indeed just screwed up humans too… maybe it’s the hot chicks.

The MTV Movie Awards mean absolutely nothing. Zero. Ziltch. Now, having said that, I have to admit that the show itself is pretty entertaining (just please for the love of all that is good and holy don’t let either Lindsay Lohan or Jimmy Fallon host the show). The Gollumn acceptance speech for Best Digital Character was television magic!

I think I just wet myself!!!! As a kid, one of my FAVORITE cartoon shows was a North American version of an anime show called “Star Blazers“. In Japan, it was called “Space Battleship Yamato”. I freaking LOVED this show. I can still sing you the theme song if you’d like.

Anyway, the show is set in the future after the earth was bombarded by nuclear attacks from an alien force. Humanity is now forced to live deep underground because of the deadly radiation… but the radiation is getting deeper and deeper, and humanity only has 1 year left before the radiation reaches them. They then get a message from another world saying they have a “cure” for the radiation that will clean up the planet, so they build a mighty space ship from the hull of the old legendary Japanese war ship Yamato to go and get it. The rest is anime deliciousness at its finest!!!! Best anime show EVER!!!

So according to the good folks over at Coming Soon, they’re going to be turning Star Blazers into a live action film!!!! JOY!!!! There is no word yet on the when… but I’ll stand in live for a month before opening day (yeah… I know I’ll be the only one there). Oh my sweet childhood is all coming rushing back to me now. Wave Motion Gun Baby!!!!

As the release date gets closer, my anticipation for X-Men 3 seems to be growing exponentially. This is bad news since I’m probably just setting myself up for disappointment. Oh well.

A new X-Men 3 poster has just hit the web. It’s an international poster and probably not one that will be used in North America, but personally I really like it. I especially like seeing Angel in the black leather X-uniform. The Golden Gate Bridge getting torn up in the background also looks pretty slick.

If you want to see a much larger version of the poster you can go see it here.

Oh Delicious! News on The Transformers movie front has been pretty scarce of late, and now there finally seems to be some significant news. It looks like a whole bunch of casting for the human characters has been done. The good folks over at Cinematical give us this:

some major casting moves. The list is long, and contains several actors familiar to director Michael Bay. They are, in no particular order, Jon Voight, Michael Clarke Duncan, Josh Duhamel, Bernie Mac, Tyrese, John Turturro, Rachael Taylor, Megan Fox, Travis Van Winkle and John Robinson.

Ok, I have to admit I like that list… HOWEVER….

After doing some reading… these are all HUMAN characters. I DON’T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT THE FRIGGING HUMAN CHARACTERS!!!! I don’t want the Transformers movie to focus on a bunch of humans! I want to see giant robots beating the crap out of each other and throwing each other through buildings and mountains.

The thing that I’m worried about is that every human character cast is more minutes of human screen time. Every minute of human screen time is one LESS minute of Optimus Prime screen time!!! This is too many relevant human characters!!!! All I want to see is Braun kicking Thundercracker in the face! (If you know what I’m talking about, congratulations, you’re officially as big of a geek as me).

Your thoughts?

You know… with all of the on again - off again rumours of future of the Star Trek movie franchise… it’s hard to get excited about any news that comes out about it. However, this seem worthy of some attention.

It looks like Paramount is bringing back Star Trek with Spock, James T. Kirk, Scotty and Dr. Mcoy. Here’s the catch… it’s going to be them as young men when they all first meet at the Academy. Hmmmm… I don’t know how I feel about that.

It’s also being reported that J.J. Abrams is going to direct and produce the new… ummm… old adventures of the crew. The good folks over at M&C give us the following:

Banking on the success of the upcoming ‘Mission: Impossible III’ (‘MI3’), Paramount has tapped J.J. Abrams to helm and produce the 11th installment. Assisting on the production side will be the extremely successful producing team from the ‘Lost’ TV series, Damon Lindel and Bryan Burk. Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci co-writers from ‘MI3’ will work with Abrams on the screenplay.

Well, I really don’t mind these guys working on it… but I’m still ify on the whole “prequel” idea with younger characters from the original series. Can anyone other than William Shatner actually play James T. Kirk? Maybe. We’ll wait and see.

I’d have to say that the Tomb Raider franchise has probably given us the best Video Game to Movie adaptations yet. And that’s NOT saying much. The first one was ok… the second one was dreadful… and as such Angelina Jolie said she wouldn’t do another one. It’s funny how a dump truck full of money and a desire to show the world hot hot you can be after having a baby can change your mind.

Our good friends over at Cinema Blend are reporting that Jolie is indeed back on board for Tomb Raider 3. Here’s what they had to say:

Rumor mongering British newspaper Daily Express that Angelina is taking on the role of Lara Croft again for Tomb Raider 3, and what’s more plans to start training to get into shape for it as soon as she pops out Brad Pitt’s seed. Tomb Raider creator Ron Livingston confirms, “Paramount has optioned it and Angelina has agreed to star in the third.”

I’ve always thought the concept of Tomb Raider had great potential… just poorly executed. Maybe Tomb Raider 3 will get things on track… maybe not. Either way it’ll be nice to see Jolie in tank top again with her lactate enhanced breasts.

As a kid I used to enjoy the off novelty of going to a 3D movie. I think my first one was that horrible Jaws 3-D flick. Oh my goodness that brings back some bad memories. I honestly can’t remember off the top of my head if I’ve seen any other 3D films in the last 10 years or so.

To me, it seems like all 3D is really good for is exactly that… novelty. Maybe once every 10 years. But seriously… does it actually ADD anything to the theatrical experience?

In an attempt to capitalize on said novelty, it looks like Superman Returns is going to be released in IMAX 3D on the same day the film opens in wide release. The good folks over at M&C give us this:

‘Superman Returns’ will be the world’s first live-action Hollywood feature to be converted from 2D to IMAX 3D. Will this be the answer to getting Hollywood out of the doldrums represented by the 9% drop in ticket sales last year? That remains to be seen. However it will be difficult to assess the success of the 3D venture and track IMAX box office receipts as the studios do not lump them in with regular screen totals and the independent organization that used to track giant screen totals - no longer does so.

If any film can really capitalize on the whole novelty of 3D, I imagine that film would be Superman. But really… would anyone actually watch this movie in 3D BEFORE seeing it in its regular format first? I wouldn’t.

Your thoughts?

Oh my sweet goodness. Today’s prize for best new movie title goes to Snoop Dogg’s new flick “Hood Of Horror“. Did you really expect it to be anything else? As if that wasn’t enough to make me giggle… check out this cast list from our good friends at Dark Horizons:

Ernie Hudson, Danny Trejo, Method Man, Jason Alexander and Billy Dee Williams also star in the flick which follows three terrifying inner-city tales of the residents of an inner city neighbourhood whose actions in this life will determine their destination in the afterlife.

Oh my goodness! Billy Freaking Dee Williams!!!!! I’m sooo going to be there opening day. No… it’s not actually going to be any good… but man it can still be delicious!

Coming out of Friends, Matthew Perry had the best chance at success on the big screen. His film “The Whole Nine Yards” was the ONLY decent Friends cast movie ever made (at the time), and his humor and style just seemed more suited to the movies. Yeah… didn’t quite work out that way.

After the whole nine yards, all of Perry’s films have been disasters. However, as our good friends over at Cinema Blend are reporting… it looks like Perry may have just found the right role for himself in “Numb” to get his career going again:

The former Bing will play an unstable screenwriter with a “depersonalization disorder”. Don’t know what that is? The official press release describes it as an alienating condition akin to an extreme depression. It’s so bad, by comparison it makes depressed people look quirky. The super-depressed writer falls for a girl, but since he’s such a downer he can’t get her. To win her heart, he puts himself through every kind of therapy available to fix his downer problem and earn her love.

This does sound good to me… however I also see 2 potential problems with it:

1) It sounds a little too much like As Good As It Gets for me

2) The people writing it. “Harris Goldberg, who had a hand in writing and producing Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and the truly horrible, career ending Dana Carvey vehicle Master of Disguise. In the hands of a many like that, there may be another failure in store for the sadly underrated Matthew Perry. ”

Ouch… that’s NOT good news. Those are two of the worst films of all time. Man, I sure would like to see Perry land on his feet again.

I don’t have a lot of hope for Silent Hill. The movie has 3 things really working against it right now.

1) It’s a video game movie… they all suck.

2) The studio didn’t let the critics see it in advance to review it. This is NOT a good sign. it basically says “We know it’s bad, so we don’t want the word to get out”.

3) This preview doesn’t impress me.

This is an extended clip from the movie that was aired on MTV. Personally, I’m not thrilled with it at all. I really hope this thing is good and breaks this annoying streak of Video Game films sucking ass. But I doubt it will.

You can see the Silent Hill preview clip here.

***UPDATE***
The first real review of Silent Hill is out. The Hollywood Reporter gave it a 2 out of 10. One review does not make or break the deal… so let’s just see what happens when more come in.

I love Frank Oz as a director. The Dark Crystal, Bowfinger, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels… yadda yadda yadda (it doesn’t hurt my appreciation for his that he does the voice of Yoda too!). Word had it that his newest project is “Death at a Funeral”. The good folks over at Cinema Confidential give us this little synopsis:

“Funeral” follows a dysfunctional British family as they gather to mourn the passing of their patriarch. But when a man threatens to expose the patriarch’s secret unless he is paid a large amount of cash, the man’s two sons try to do everything to keep the secret from leaking to the guests, and what should be a heartfelt good-bye turns into a calamity.

These types of comedies seem to be Frank Oz’s strength. I’m thinking this will be fantastic.

It looks like the new James Bond is already working hard not to get type casted. Daniel Craig has reportedly signed on to play THE DEVIL in the new adaptation of an “I, Lucifer” movie. I think it sounds pretty decent actually.

The good folks over at CHUD give us this little peak into the project:

The story finds Old Scratch granted an opportunity to live as a mortal for a month in the body of a suicidal writer (named Declan Gunn - anagram alert!). Once he’s sampled drugs and whores (I knew there was a reason I loved the devil, hail Satan), he sets about marketing the film rights to his life, but slowly discovers human annoyances like conscience.

THis sounds interesting to me… although on the outside also sounds a lot like Meet Joe Black… but let’s give it the benefit of the doubt for the moment.

Another interesting casting rumor for the project has Ewan McGregor as the guy Satan takes over. That’s funny… I thought he already did and made him do those Star Wars sequels.

The WWE has been in the process of developing its own films for a little while now. One of the projects they have in the works is called “The Condemned“. This one will star former wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin and a guy I get a real kick out of seeing on screen Vinnie Jones (playing Juggernaut in the upcoming X-Men 3).

Austin is a HUGE dude, who has all the physical tools to pull off a great action hero. The only problem is that I don’t know if the guy can act. His small part in The Longest Yard didn’t really give us much to base an opinion on. So I guess we’ll have to wait and see. The good folks over at Empire give us this synopsis of “The Condemned”:

Austin will play a man on death row in a corrupt Central American jail. He’s “bought” by a wealthy TV producer looking for the next big thing in reality telly. Austin’s character must fight to the death with nine other condemned men.

Yeah… wasn’t this called “The Running Man” a few years ago? Oh well… it could still be fun.

Oh yes boys and girls. Everyone’s favorite chubby action star Steven Seagal has released a new music cd called “Mojo Priest”. Ummm… actually come to think of it…. I really like the title. Anyway…

So I went on over to the official page for the album and noticed that all the tracks have 30 second samples that you could listen to. So I decided to listen to them and got ready to laugh my ass off. But guess what… I actually liked what I heard. No seriously… I might actually buy this cd. Holy crap… never thought I’d say that.

It’s actually a mix blues/jazz/southrn kinda feel… and what can I say… I liked it. who da thunk? I think my favorite song title is “Talk to my Ass“.
