Matt Damon...directing now?

After Ben Affleck has been doing his bit of directing it only folllows that Matt Damon should have a turn.
According to Deadline, Matt Damon is keen to jump on board of the newly purchased script 'Father Daughter Time: A Tale of Robbery and Eskimo Kisses'.

This is a film about a father who goes on the run from the law with his daughter who so happens to be his accomplice on a crime spree that goes across 3 US states.

Matthew Aldrich's script has been at the centre of a huge script auction that has involved some big named studios such as: Paramount, Warner Bros.

However, Walter Parkes the head of Relativity Media, Matt Damon and his producer partner Chris Moore. Relativity Media's HQ at Pearl Street raised the money which was used to get this script via a private investor.

But it's now seen that Warner Bros. are at the moment trying ot lock in a deal to aquire the rights to this script as well as getting Matt Damon to be the lead and possibly also the director. But Damon has got a first look deal with Warner Bros. as well as his producer partner and Ben Afleck.

Aside from this, Matt Damon is set to star with Sharlto Copley, Wagner Moura and Jodie Foster in Neil Blomkamp's new sci-fi movie Elysium. These details for thefiklm have been kept literally been kept under lock and key by the director, but what is known is that it is a story in the future on a distant planet. Matt Damon will play an ex-con and Moura will play the villian, a man who is descibed as a man with a crazed sense of humour. Oh, and the shoot for this movie will hopefully be kicking off in Vancouver in July for hopefully a March 2013 release.

Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender will star in Ridley Scotts' new alien sci-fi film 'Prometheus'which according to Empire Magazine online that a couple of weeks ago they were sent an anonymous e-mail that Guy Pearce was starring in this but not only this, but a couple of posts ago I told you about how Danny Boyle was going to make a film about an art heist that goes wrong and then when the olympics is over he will go back to it and edit it so that the film can be set for a March 2013 release.

This film 'Trance' will start shooting apparently in September and then it will be put on a shelf to sit and collect dust.The next film that Michael Fassbender will be in will be a Steven Soderburgh action thriller 'Haywire'

Catherine Hardwicke

Catherine Hardwicke has tried her hand at Gothic teenage Vampire and Werewolf never die love story in 'Twilight', then a fairytale 'Red Riding Hood' and now she is going to turn Martha O'Connor's 2006 novel 'Bitch Posse' into a novel.

This has been adapted by actress/ screenwriter Tristine Skyler. The story of 'The Bitch Posse' is about 3 friends Cherry, Amy and Rennie. All three of these come from difficult homes and they bond over this and share their problems,but rather than make a support group they turn these frustrations on their classmates, causing chaos until somwething breaks their friendship, and the ramifications of this chaos felt in thier adult lives with one of the fiends ending up in a mental facility, another trapped in as loveless marriage and another becomes a writer who wants to sleep around.

This film sounds like it's a welcome relief from Twilight or Red Riding Hood but I have just read that one of her other projects after this is either a film adaption of a computer game 'Dot War' or another adaption of 'The Maze Runner'.

As yet there are no details on when this is out so keep your eyes peeled for further news.

Men In Black III

There are no clips of this as of yet on Empire Magazine Online but what I can tell you about this is that@

Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith will return but with:

David Koepp director ('Angels and Demons'), Jemaine Clement (one half of 'Flight Of The ConCordes' comedy), and Josh Brolin ('No Country For Old Men').

The Release date for this is suppose to be 25th of May 2012. The screenwriter for this is going to be Barry Sonnenfield.

Django Unchained

The Spagetti Western that Quentin Tarentino will try his hand at next wants Will Smith to star in this as Django who is a freed slave who heads out to reunite with his wife eho is still in servitude and he will be accompanied by a German bounty hunter who trains him up to take on an evil plantation owner.

But there has been no official offer put on the table as yet for Will to play this role but while this is being confirmed or changed there are a whole host of studios that Tarrantino is talking with to handle who will distribute the film outside the US, and the studio who got in these talks first is 'Universal' as they distributed 'Inglorious Bastards'.

However, Samuel L Jackson will also star as another slave that is manipulative who works for the main villian Calvin Candi. But this has to be confirmed as Marvel have him locked in a contract to star in 8 films of their's.

Sorry guys if you have been able to read anything new but I have just found the time to sit down and catch you up on things:

1st I have just downloaded 'Bedtime Stories' the album of '3rd Place Victory'. I also have to let you guys about 'Promise Me Tomorrow', this band is great not only because their a new and exciting band but if you like 'Kids In Glass Houses' then you'll like the sound of this band, but also if you like rock music but don't like hard core shouting music like 'Metallica' then listen to 'Intraverse'.

2nd I heard a few months back that Kathyrn Bigalow and her 'Hurt Locker' partner in crime are scheduling in a film that follows the actual Black Ops team that was sent in to find Osama and then eventually killed him. This film was scheduled to happen anyway but now that Osama the script is going to be rewritten to show this event.

Also Joel Edgerton who was in Kinky Boots is the first actor to sign up to star in this, and so he can do this he has turned down being in 'Snow White and the Huntsman' with the guy who starred in Thor being in it but it has been said by LA Times that he'll not be Snow White's primary love interest, (which for me is stupid and a little getting me angry as it feels like cinema have just seen it as okay to rewrite a well known and much loved fairytale). He will play one of the black ops Navy Seal along with an ensemble of other actors that have yet to be cast.

Bigalow was reported by LA Times as saying that she at first wanted to hold off on doing anything further on this film as she wanted to see how the Arabic world would recieve the news that this was being made into a film, as well as not knowing where the shoot locations would be or if these locations would be secure. But now these locations are being scouted and it is thought that the shooting will start this summer.

I heard a couple of months back on twitter courtesy of Jared Followill that my favourite band of all time 'Kings of Leon' were doing a Documentary film that was going to come out and by his opinion this is the best film he has ever seen, and I know it sounds like he's only saying this as it's a film about his and his brothers and his cousins band but I saw just some of the trailer for this this morning on Youtube and I can't wait to see it when it does come out.

Here is the trailer for it that I have found on Youtube. I am so excited to hear this news you can't believe it, and I hope you are as this isn't the onlly band that are bringing out a film about themselves.

The other bands that I have heard that are bringing out movies of themselves is also another brilliant band, 'The Prodigy' are releasing their Milton Keynes 'World's On Fire' tour on DVD as well as an album

This looks really awesome and they look really good live. This was going to screened for one night only in April but I hear on Youtube that this will be put to DVD and BlueRay for people who didn't get a chance to see this in cinemas near them. Also Foo Fighters 'Back and Forth' was their first film that apparently was out in April. But I think that there might be a DVD in there somewhere as anyone who saw it would probably want to keep it if it were on DVD as it must be like 'golddust' to have anything on DVD from this awesome band. I know that when I got a DVD of 'King's Of Leon' on tour and now I can watch it anytime I want to or I tend to watch it whenever I feel down.
