Ben Affleck to be the new Bruce Wayne!?

I've just read this news on iamrogue.com and this has  got me very excited...well not really the bit about Ben Affleck being Bruce Wayne because of Daredevil with the all in one red leather cat suite. I think the less said about this the better.

Anyhew.... according to I Am Rogue Zack Synder who I read on a website said that he would at some point like to do a Batman movie with Christian Bale at say around 50 years old, this may have been said jokingly and age is probably the reason why Christian Bale didn't want to do this film...but I think Batman is character wise probably already this age as in Batman Begins Bruce Wayne celebrated his 30th birthday so to my mind he'd be 30 something in Batman: The Dark Knight and so he'd Bruce Wayne would probably be character wise 40 years old or there abouts in Batman: The Dark Knight Rises...so from a casting point of view this sounds to me probably smart as I guess that Ben Affleck is around the 40-50 years old mark so it would make sense for him to play Bruce Wayne...but I hope this time there's no red leather catsuit with red leather hat with ears!

This I realise may sound like I am an obsessive fan that has thought about this a bit too much and therefore sounds a little bit nuts but I swear I'm not nuts...just a big fan of the Batman films I swear!

Anyhew I digress....Zack Synder who will direct this film has according to I Am Rogue.com been shooting some quick footage of American football on location at East Los Angeles College Weingart Stadium which will show three takes of three passages of play during half time and that these scenes will capture the crowd and actors reactions, as well as it doubling for Gotham City University home ground.

These are the new look uniforms that Gotham City University and Metropolis State University will be wearing during this football game.

 

 

There is no official UK release date set yet according to IMDb.com but there is a 17th July 2015  USA release date for this film...lucky devils!

 

David S. Goyer has written both the screenplay as well as the story for this film, and just in case all of you who had seen Man Of Steel and were wondering if Henry Cavill will be returning don't worry your pretty little heads anymore he is as well as Amy Adams, Diane Lane and Lawrence Fishburne.

Old Boy Update!

I'm sorry that I've been away from here for so long but I have just read on Empire Magazine an exciting update about the Spike Lee Old Boy remake. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT OLD BOY IS ABOUT PLEASE LOOK AWAY NOW....CONTAINS SPOILER ALERT!


I'm such a big fan of this movie (the original one that is), and I do realise that other people who like me have seen this movie and know what the story of this film is that being a big fan of the film may sound a bit wrong but it is the film that all Quentin Tarrantino films are based on...or so it said on the back of the DVD when I bought it.

Anyhew... for those that haven't seen this film and don't know what it's about then I'll fill in the blanks for you:

The story is that a man Oh-Dae-Su is kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years in what appears to be an apartment block, but every so often at the same time every day within these 15 years he is poisoned with hallucinogenic drugs where he has the most frightening dreams and then he passes out, but he is also fed during this imprisonment but then for no reason at all he is let go and told he has to find out who has imprisoned him and that he only has 5 days to do this in with a trusty sidekick in tow.

This then leads to all manner of fantastic martial art style fight scenes and also to the disturbing secret that he went to school with his captor and his sister but she killed herself and that it was all because he found out that his captor was sleeping with his sister and that his sidekick really isn't his sidekick but in fact Dae Su's daughter and they both been hypnotized to forget about each other and this then leads into them sleeping with each other and when Dae Su learns this at the end he cuts out his own tongue as he is so disgusted with himself about what he has done.

Thanks to Empire Online this new poster for the remake has popped up which IMDB says will be coming to the UK on December 6th 2013 with Josh Brolin who you might have seen recently in "Gangster Squad":





But this time the story is that Josh Brolin will play Josh Doucett a businessman who is mysteriously kidnapped, drugged and imprisoned for 20 years in a hotel room style chamber but then out of the blue without no explanation he is let go and sent on a mission to find out who did this to him.
