Random Social Chit-Chat v. Illuminati Confirmed

^Good to see that Penn had enough sense to get the fuck out of that disaster waiting to happen. Would've taken a serious bite out of his career. Hopefully Spielberg will have a similar realization.
 
Filming on "Predators", Fox's reboot of its popular sci-fi alien hunter franchise, kicks off September 28th in Austin, Texas according to Production Weekly.

The story involves a very intense group of people stranded on a Predator planet discovering unspeakable horrors - that are not always from outside their group. Alex Litvak and Michael Finch penned the script.

Nimrod Antal ("Vacancy") directs with Robert Rodriguez producing. Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios are being used for the shoot.

The film hits cinemas next July.

Universal Pictures is allegedly looking at potentially rebooting Anne Rice's popular novel series "The Vampire Chronicles" reports Bloody Disgusting.

The site also says they confirmed this afternoon that Robert Downey Jr. is in close talks to play the vampire Lestat, a role made famous by Tom Cruise in Neil Jordan's 1994 effort "Interview with the Vampire" and Stuart Townsend in Michael Rymer's 2002 film "Queen of the Damned".

Warner Brothers Pictures previously held the rights to the series and owns the two previous films. No word on what this reboot would entail - restarting from the beginning or jumping right the next novel "The Tale of the Body Thief".

Former UFC world light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is now locked in to portray Sgt. "B.A." Baracus in Fox's upcoming film remake of 80's TV series classic "The A-Team" according to The Vancouver Sun.

Made famous by Mr. T in the series, Jackson arrived in Vancouver on Friday to begin filming the role on the production that will shoot over the next six weeks.

Jackson joins Bradley Cooper as Face, Liam Neeson as Hannibal, and a still as yet undisclosed star as 'Howling Mad' Murdock.

The Joe Carnahan-directed film will hit cinemas next June.

Sylvester Stallone tells AICN that upcoming fifth installment of the John Rambo series, "Rambo V: A Savage Hunt", will be quite different from the previous films.

Though the film returns to the Pacific Northwest setting of the first film, the story has Rambo leading a Black Ops squad to hunt, capture or kill an escaped military experiment. That experiment? An unstable escapee from a group of soldiers on a program designed to yield instinctual killers with no moral compunction about taking life.

The general idea seems to be a role-reversal of the first film, with Rambo the hunter instead of the hunted this time out. Still sounds a little too "Universal Soldier" for my taste.

"Tron Legacy", the highly anticipated follow-up to the 80's sci-fi classic "Tron", has been set for a December 17th 2010 release through Disney Pictures.

In the Joseph Kosinski-helmed 3D adventure, Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years.

Along with Kevin's loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous. Bruce Boxleitner, James Frain, Beau Garrett and Michael Sheen also star.

Sony presently has both "The Green Hornet" and "The Smurfs" opening the same date, though 'Smurfs' is expected to move to 2011 shortly.

I did read the book. I found like most book-to-cinema releases that the film tried to pile everything in and it ended up a little disjointed compared with the luxury you have reading a book where you know the characters thoughts and histories. But that said, I think they picked the cast excellently and every part of the film - from the acting, to the costumes, the musical score, cinematography, script, locations - everything came together to form a very true and real version of the events in the book. It actually looked a lot like I had envisaged the whole thing to look. :)
 
I know somebody is going to love these pics of Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore locking lips in the latest issue of Marie Claire... ;)

My biggest fear is what he'll do to Nightmare On Elm Street. :|

The Friday the 13th movie was so horrible I had to stop watching it 10 minutes into it. I really enjoyed the original Nightmare on Elm Street movie and the first few sequels were pretty good too. I will be out for blood if they bastardize this film. A person's lack of ability to make a new an interesting horror movie is not justification for tainting the good name of an older title.
 
In the name of the most holy and undivided Trinity.

It having pleased the Divine Providence to dispose the hearts of the most serene and most potent Prince George the Third, by the grace of God, king of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith, duke of Brunswick and Lunebourg, arch- treasurer and prince elector of the Holy Roman Empire etc., and of the United States of America, to forget all past misunderstandings and differences that have unhappily interrupted the good correspondence and friendship which they mutually wish to restore, and to establish such a beneficial and satisfactory intercourse , between the two countries upon the ground of reciprocal advantages and mutual convenience as may promote and secure to both perpetual peace and harmony; and having for this desirable end already laid the foundation of peace and reconciliation by the Provisional Articles signed at Paris on the 30th of November 1782, by the commissioners empowered on each part, which articles were agreed to be inserted in and constitute the Treaty of Peace proposed to be concluded between the Crown of Great Britain and the said United States, but which treaty was not to be concluded until terms of peace should be agreed upon between Great Britain and France and his Britannic Majesty should be ready to conclude such treaty accordingly; and the treaty between Great Britain and France having since been concluded, his Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, in order to carry into full effect the Provisional Articles above mentioned, according to the tenor thereof, have constituted and appointed, that is to say his Britannic Majesty on his part, David Hartley, Esqr., member of the Parliament of Great Britain, and the said United States on their part, John Adams, Esqr., late a commissioner of the United States of America at the court of Versailles, late delegate in Congress from the state of Massachusetts, and chief justice of the said state, and minister plenipotentiary of the said United States to their high mightinesses the States General of the United Netherlands; Benjamin Franklin, Esqr., late delegate in Congress from the state of Pennsylvania, president of the convention of the said state, and minister plenipotentiary from the United States of America at the court of Versailles; John Jay, Esqr., late president of Congress and chief justice of the state of New York, and minister plenipotentiary from the said United States at the court of Madrid; to be plenipotentiaries for the concluding and signing the present definitive treaty; who after having reciprocally communicated their respective full powers have agreed upon and confirmed the following articles.

And that Congress shall also earnestly recommend to the several states that the estates, rights, and properties, of such last mentioned persons shall be restored to them, they refunding to any persons who may be now in possession the bona fide price (where any has been given) which such persons may have paid on purchasing any of the said lands, rights, or properties since the confiscation.

Article 10:
The solemn ratifications of the present treaty expedited in good and due form shall be exchanged between the contracting parties in the space of six months or sooner, if possible, to be computed from the day of the signatures of the present treaty. In witness whereof we the undersigned, their ministers plenipotentiary, have in their name and in virtue of our full powers, signed with our hands the present definitive treaty and caused the seals of our arms to be affixed thereto.

Done at Paris, this third day of September in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-three.
