New Bourne Legacy Stills!

The other day I saw this on I Am Rogue's website as well as seeing another still with one of the newcomers to the film Edward Norton and Jeremy Renner on MTV.com, this just got me more exited about the film.

This still from MTV.com doesn't give anything away though in the form of what the film will be like but it does look like whatever is happening in the still though it's intense.The other scanned still that came though to iamrogue.com  courtesy of Hey U Guys.co.uk does offer a little bit more. I think as it does suggest that there are going to be some more cool action sequences more like the one in 'The Bourne Ultimatum', (if your not sure which this one is I'm on about here, fear not and read on as I'll help you fill in the blanks) it's the one where Matt Damon is on a motorbike in Tangiers, India with Nicki who used to work in Treadstone as the person who organised logistics and he has to save her from being killed by another assasin called 'Dev' and in the process he jumps from one house's balcony to another through the balcony windows and runs through the house to then run on the roof of other houses to find 'Dev' is so he can stoop him from killing Nicki.

So I think it's fair to say that Tony and Dan Gilroy have tried to keep the same tone for the film as Matt Damon's Jason Bourne films had in them,-this being that the writing was slick, clever and there was intense, slick, clever fight scenes as well as action scenes, especially with the fight scene in 'The Bourne Identity' where Jason Bourne and Marie went to his Paris apartment and there was an assasin by the code name of monkey who tried to kill Jason Bourne but Bourne used a BIC Biro to defend himself before the guy jumped off a balcony to fall onto the street below.-.

So it looks like writer and director Tony Gilroy has tried to make a film with the existing cast members of: Joan Allen (Pam Landy), Scott Glenn (Ezra Kramer), Albert Finney (Dr. Albert Hirsch), David Strathairn (Noah Vosen) and Corey Johnston (Wills Noah's secretary) and with some new faces: Jeremy Renner (Aaron Cross), Oscar Isaacs (no.3), Stacey Keach (Turso), Rachel Weisz (Martha) and Edward Norton (Byer) that can stand alone from Matt Damon's 'Bourne' films but with all the slick intensiveness of the original films.

Anyhew...I digress if you want to find out more about the film then why not head on over to either the official website:

http://www.thebournelegacy.net/

Or go to the Bourne Legacy UK Facebook website...now here is where I am very confused as you may be wondering like myself when this will be coming into UK cinemas as it always frustrates me that films are shown across the pond in USA first and we here in the UK have to wait ages for it or for the film to come out on Blu:Ray or DVD!

Well thanks to IMDb I can now tell you when the UK release date is for this film, the 13th August-which I might add is one of the films that I can't wait to see as at the moment I can't stop watching the trailer for this as it looks sooo good-.

And I also have to say that if you are as big a fan of these films then I suggest you take a few minutes out of your day and watch 'Bourne Vivaldi',  as I watched this it took me right back to those films and got me even more excited about 'The Bourne Legacy' than before as it reminded me of the first film and how tense and exciting this was, with the quick hand to hand combat fighting and how good Matt Damon was at playing Jason Bourne's character of being part of a program named Treadstone that was suffering from amnesia after being shot at and falling into the Mediterranean Sea and then only knowing that he can '...run flat out for 1/2 hour before his hands start to shake...', tie knots, speak different languages etc but he has no idea who he is, and every time he thinks he's getting closer to finding out who he is with finding out he is an assassin he just finds out that he is further away from the truth...with finding out  about Treadstone but not knowing who or what this is and what it has to do with him.



I can't wait for this now I know what the release date for this film is and I can't wait forthe many more stills and other things that will enevtiably get leaked before this film comes out!

Sin City 2 is officially coming out!

Yeeeeeeeeees! I am such a big fan of the first film and when I heard this was actually true after the rumour mill had gone into overdrive saying for ages that Robert Rodriguez was playing around with the idea of making a 'Sin City 2', I was sooooo excited as I absolutly loved the first Sin City...and lets face it why wouldn't you love the first 'Sin City'.

But now ComingSoon.net has now reported that Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller are teaming up again to produce for Dimension Films 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill'.

And as an explanation to fans Robert Rodriguez has said that:

"I have wanted to make re-team with Frank Miller and return to the world he created since the day we wrapped the original, but we have felt a duty to the fans to wait until we had something truly exceptional that would meet and exceed what have become epic expectations . A Dame To Kill will certainly be worth the wait".

Lets hope so because I don't know about you but this was like nothing I'd seen before!


And to show how seriously the team behind this film are about pushing 'A Dame To Kill' to come out as soon as possible casting has already got underway and it's reported that many of the original cast are set to return which is probably why the original film was so fantastic as I don't think that that there are many movies that you'd see where you have the likes of Clive Owen, Micky Rouke, Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Briney Murphy, Elijiah Wood etc.

Also not only does it look like everyone concerned wants this to get underway as soon as possible, but it looks like that this has got some serious heavy weights added to it with not only Robert Rodriguez's team of Aaron Kaufman and LLiana Nikolic going to produce but Bob and Harvey from The Weinstein Company, Adam Fields from Miramax and Frank Miller will be executive producers and Alexander Rodnyansky, Sergei Bespalov and Stephan L'Hereux will also  produce 'Sin City:A Dame To Kill'. There is also the added heavy weight of Acadamy Award winner Willian Monahan who wrote the screenplay for 'The Departed' will write the screenplay with Frank Miller who wrote the graphic novel that this film will be based on...so by the looks of this list of people attached to 'A Dame To Kill' everyone concerned wants this film to really pack a punch and stand up to the original.

But apart from this the script and story have been kept a closely guarded secret...so I have a feeling that there might be a few surprises in store if this is a secret or it could just be that this story has not been decide yet, but I'd like to think that when you see this that the story is a direction that you wouldn't think the film could go in.

So with Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Company saying this about it:

"Audiences have been clamoring for Sin City 2 with Robert and Frank for a long time and trust me, it will be worth the wait."

It sounds like that all concerned are going to try really hard to make this film really really good for the fans...so until this comes out we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that this 'Sin City:A Dame To Kill' lives up to all of the hype that has already been said about it.




New Blog that you just have to read!

I've been reading in magazine's lately that there is a growing trend of wearing pj slippers as shoes...now this is a fashion trend that I think I'm going to take note of and start following because I always try to dress with comfort in mind because it might be just me but I don't see the point of putting yourself through wearing tight jeans, uncomfortably high high heels and a too tight summery looking shirt just to make yourself look very fashionable, but if your going out to have a drink or a meal with friends and because everything is sooo tight and uncomfortable you can't even properly walk down the street without grimacing, sit down without having to do it a special way so that you don't rip your jeans, or even sit down in comfort to enjoy yourself without thinking 'Oh god I can't really eat anything because if I do I'll definitely pop a button'.

And these definitely look like the pinnacle of comfortability!

But I shouldn't be soo surprised that fashion magazine have just picked up on this fashion trend as back in January I was reading what I think is the best must read blog all to do with things regarding etiquette, style and luxury living...now I know what your thinking 'etiquette, style and luxury living what has this got to do with me?', but you'd be wrong to think this as everything on this blog has got everything from handy hints on fashion, thanks to the handy Ask the Agony Uncle you'll finally be able to handle those awkward moments that arise in everyday life...talking about these kind of situations a couple of years ago I was buying a CD in my local HMV and the guy behind the cashiers desk started saying 'Oh that albums really good' I know he was being nice but what do you say, all I ended up saying was 'Thanks' and then there was that awkward silence while he was scanning the bar code for this and taking my money to pay for the CD, to what gadgets and gizmos to have.



       

Now I know these are slippers and that slippers are for being worn around the house but being me I wouldn't mind wearing these out...on one of the rarer days in England when it isn't raining! and I think that in this growing trend of celebrities like Florence from Florence and the Machines, Taylor Swift etc being seen out in slipper shoes I don't think these would look out of place.

These Rubra Pipe Slippers have quilted embroidery and do look like they would be really comfortable or if your a huge fan like me of Agatha Christie who created the best characters for her brilliant whodunnit murder mystery book like Hercule Poirot and Miss. Marple you could just get your hands on a pair of theses bad boys,- which if you haven't already noticed come in black velvet and on the left slipper there is a British bulldog and on the right shoe there is a pipe- and walk around the house and pretend that your Poirot...or you could even walk round the house and pretend that your the other greatest character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes.

If your reading this and thinking this sounds a bit crazy or even a bit childish...well maybe it is but that's just me and I am not crazy I promise!
