I was just reading on Marie Claire's website the interesting news that E.L James the writer of the best selling book that has overtaken the little known franchise of J.K Rowling books to film adaption 'Harry Potter' as the fastest selling paperback of all time in the UK...not sure if you would of heard of it!
Anyhew...according to "reports" as Marie Claire puts it E.L James has signed three licensing deals to put the clothes inspired by the trilogy of books to a high street store near you.
She has signed contracts with Freeze Clothing to create a line of hoodies, T-shirts and knitwear, Briefly Stated to sell a line of loungewear and underwear and she will also team up with Brand HYP to design a line of tights, stockings and garters.
This though isn't just the start of these books success taking over the world with it's success the way that Harry Potter did...as you may or may not have heard that this is going to be turned into a movie just like Harry Potter and the script is currently being written but talk has been rife about who will be cast as Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey.
I saw on the news the other day these suggestions and I have to say that some of them I had to laugh at but one in particular that Marie Claire have now suggested has also made me laugh as they have suggested Robert Patterson for this role along with other well established actors such as Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Michael Fassbender.

Review: The Bourne Legacy
This below post will definitely contain spoilers so if you don't want to see the results as you haven't seen it yet please look away now!
The other day after I'd returned to HQ after going up to London to see the fantastic Dead Famous Live at the Paradise by way of Kensall Green which is a fantastic pub/restaurant that has the amazing melted brie parcels which if your wondering is just deep fat fried melted cheese and if your like me and are partial to some cheese than you'll love these but if you are turning your nose up at the sound of these than I have to say that you are judging way to quickly on this as you really need to try these before you fall in love with these.
Anyhew....this is going off point but when I came back from this I went to see 'The Bourne Legacy' which I have been eagerly anticipating, but I have to say that I was a little disappointed at it because to me this film didn't seem to have a story eventhough it did seem like it was building into something like a Matt Damon Bourne film not only because in one scene Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner's character) writes on a mirror 'NO MORE', but because Tony Guilroy had made sure that there were lots of fast paced action sequences like how Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) takes down a drone that's trying to kill him using the tracking device in his hip which he cuts out, and then he comes back to America and stops Rachel Weisz's character from getting killed by special agents that are employed by the CIA that use her medical group to give out tablets and tests on the agents then send them back into the line of fire when she tries to leave the country for Canada after a co-worker of hers locks all the doors in the lab where they work and starts shooting people...leaving only her as the only surviver... and then after he's killed all the agents in her house he puts gasoline all over it for her to then set fire to.
And then when they go off to Manila, Philippines they have to have a very fast paced tense motobike chase which he gets shot and then she takes off her helmet and throws it at the guy chasing them on another motorbike (this guy is from another programme called LARKS) and then they both fall off the bike and an old fisherman helps them then.
So to me after I saw this I was left feeling like there wasn't much of a story and that it only really felt like this was more of a snowball movie, meaning that there really wasn't a story in this but that the events in the movie were the start of a snowball effect and that it was going to eventually sooner rather than later going to go somewhere.
I can't be too harsh on it though as I thought it was very comical how at every turn in the movie there was either a file or a TV station with Matt Damon's face on as Jason Bourne and that it did feel like to me that Matt Damon was peeking round every corner of the movie or from the background he was jumping up and down shouting 'Don't forget I used to be in this film!", and I would say that the one true saving grace of the movie was Moby's 'Extreme Ways'...this always puts a smile on my face as I know people get annoyed with him as his records do seem to be overplayed but as a hardcore fan of the Bourne films and as a music lover how can you not love this song and have the biggest smile on your face while listening to it, this though I realise may just be me though that this song has this effect on.
Also as a last point although there were lots of links to the other films such as every day Cross has to take a blue and a green pill as well as do his own blood samples and then he gets given maps with coordinates of where he needs to go...this if your not as big a fan of the films as me goes back to the first film where just before Jason Bourne shoots Clive Owen, Clive Owen tells him that Treadstone give you pills, they send you texts, maps of where you need to go.
Also I have to say that the love story thing that they've tried to do with Rachel Weisz character and Jeremy Renner's character it's not really believable.
All in all I have come to the conclusion that I may have had too high an expectation of this movie and that I maybe should have known that this film wasn't going to be as good as Matt Damon's Bourne films and maybe I just need to get used to it as I think my dad hit the nail on the head when he said that it was just like with James Bond and how every time there is a new actor people moan that that one will never be as good as the last one but then it turns out that that actor was if not the same probably better than the last, so I guess I just need to sit tight and wait to see the next one as the ending of this film if you haven't already gathered was left open ended.

Wolverine pics!
The other day when I was perusing IMDb.com I came across 'The Wolverine' and it was seeming to say that the story for this was about how Logan/Wolverine fell in love with a girl who had been promised to marry another guy, but now it seems to be saying that Logan is trained by a samuri warrior.
This has made me very confused and on top of this according to ComicBookMovie.com's "sources" Logan/Wolverine will head into town to get some camping gear and a bar will feature in the movie as well...which has got them thinking that:
"...that this could be scenes emulating the beginning of Frank Miller's "Japanese Saga" in "Wolverine #1". In that version of the tale Wolverine/Logan is seen in the Canadian Rockies pursuing a man-eating grizzly bear. During the eventual confrontation Wolverine notices that the bear has an arrow lodged in it's back. A closer examination reveals that the tip of the arrow has traces of poison and is the cause of the bear's erratic behavior."
But at this point this is all unofficial, but what is know about this film is that the story will be a stand alone story and won't feature any mutants (as Hugh Jackman has said), that the filming is taking place in Japan and that apart from Hugh Jackman there is Will Yun Lee who will play Kenuichio Harada/Silver Samuri, Hiroyuki Sanada will play Shingen Yashida, Rila Fukushima will play Yukio, Brian Tee will play Noburo Mori, James Fraser will play an allied POW, Hal Yamanouchi will play Yashida, Tao Okamoto will play Mariko Yashida and Luke Webb will play another allied POW.
James Mangold will direct this, (he also directed Knight and Day which starred Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz) and the script has been written by Christopher McQuarrie.
Here are the behind-the-scene pics for you to peruse at:
This last picture if you can't see it has Hugh Jackman sporting the statement Logan beard that you will have seen in the X:Men films with rag-tag unkempt shoulder length hair.
Update: As of today, thanks to Empire Magazine 20th Century Fox has today released a statement,-so there is no more guessing games to play-, summing up in a word what 'The Wolverine' story will be:
"Based on the celebrated comic book arc, The Wolverine finds Logan, finds Logan the eternal warrior and outsider in Japan, There, samurai steel will clash adamantium claw as Logan confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever changed".
If you are like me and have no clue what this "arc" is then I have to again thank Empire Magazine for filling this in for me, according to them it is the Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's run in the wolverine comics back in 1982...these comics if your interested to read them were only called Wolverine with this front cover:

Du-du-duladu boo! Daredevil right go back to Marvel!
As you may or may not already know that there has been talk of 'Daredevil' being remade...when I first heard this I couldn't believe it either that even after Ben Afleck's attempt at wearing a red leather cat suit that cam complete with it's own leather mask and fold out stick,-now I think about this it makes me think that this sounds like this was more an action figurine than a character from a movie- the film studios are going to have another go at this to see if they can do any better than before.
And there is definite need for this to be done better than before as if you ask me a man in a leather catsuit isn't a good look...these were designed for women so why on earth make a man wear one as it definitely isn't a good look for any man!...now that I think about it the studio should have definitely given Ben Affleck some compensation after making him wear that as it really doesn't make you think when you see you go see this film that he is a cool superhero like Christpher Nolan has managed to do with Batman....which if you don't already know is going to be rebooted at a later date.
Collider reported on the 6th August that 20th Century Fox were going to make a reboot of Daredevil and David Slade who was initially set up to direct this but then left for Joe Carnahan (who has directed The Grey the film where Liam Neeson fighting off wolves after a plane crash) to come into the fold.
Unofficially it has been suggested that the negotiations between Marvel and 20th Century Fox would give Marvel The Silver Surfer and Galactus characters from 'The Fantastic Four' use of them in future films of theirs in exchange for making Daredevil.
But now it's been reported by Variety that 20th Century Fox have had no choice but to give back the rights to Marvel and these will according to "sources" say that the rights for this character will revert back to them some time after the October 10th deadline which Marvel gave 20th Century Fox to put this reboot into production.

Mad Max Set Pictures Leaked!
Thanks to Collider new behind the scenes pictures have been leaked starting up the excitement of Mad Max:Fury Road...and I have to say that these look interesting.
News on this has been very spars apart from how the location for filming this had to be moved due to flooding...bloody weather spoiling everything as usual! and had to be relocated to Africa and the cast and crew have been there since the 9th July, and that Tom Hardy will be Mad Max. This has all I have been able to find out so far, but thanks to these photos these are only the start of more movie news and other things that are yet to come to build up hype for this movie that I have been eagerly anticipating since I first heard that Tom Hardy was cast as the main part in this movie as I am a huge fan of his films...especially his stand out role as Bane in Batman:The Dark Knight Rises film.
If you ask me there has been some chatter from some websites and some blogs that Tom Hardy should get an Oscar for this role, I think that although that Tom Hardy stole the show for me I still think it has nothing on Heath Ledger's The Joker.
Anyhew...I realise this is moving a little off the point. Here are the behind-the-scenes photos for you to have a gander at:
These look interesting to me...all of these little gizmos and gadgets remind me of Dr. Dre and Tupac's 'California Love' music video, i.e they look like their from a post apocalyptic world and especially the cars look like they have been either abandoned or have been made out of scraps of things that have been found.
According to Collider the story for this is it:
" sees the eponymous road warrior (Tom Hardy) caught up with a group of people fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron)."
These I have to say have got me excited to see what other news will come out in the build up for this movie, but for now we'll just have to wait with baited breath for this.

Indiana Jones sequal might not happen
The lucky devils over at Vulture got to go to the premiere last night of the new 'The Bourne Legacy' and just so happened to run into Frank Marshall who told them that:
"Whoa,whoa,whoa only one is moving. Not Indy.../ I don't know if it's definitely not happening, but it's not up and running".
But when he was asked about whether Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have been throwing around any ideas for this sequel, he said:
" They talk about it. We all talk about it. But their is no script, there's no ideas/It's not on until there is a writer on the project. There is no writer on Indy. With Jurassic, we have two writers on Jurassic and there writing".
As I am an avid fan of all the Jurassic Park films this is just about wetting my appetite as I was like a kid in a sweet shop on a sugar high when I first heard that there would be another Jurassic Park film...but I hope that this now keeps moving forward development wise and doesn't get put on the shelf or has any problems which mean that this film has to be stopped at any point like with Johnny Depp's film 'The Lone Ranger'.
I hope with this that fingers crossed that there really isn't another Indiana Jones film, I really hate myself for saying this as I love all of the old Indiana Jones films but that Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull was just aweful....and really was just a film that was thrown together because Indiana Jones fans wanted another film and it didn't really have a storyline.
And I have to say that after I watched this to see what this was like I really wish that I could get back that hour of my life that I put aside to watch this film...but saying this as it's an Indiana Jones film I can't resist watching it whenever it comes on but it has nothing on the other Indiana Jones films especially my favorite 'Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom".

Sleepy Hollow, Peter Pan and Beauty and the Beast to be turned into TV series? WTF!
I first heard this at the end of last week when I was perusing Deadline's website....and I have to be honest my first thought about this was a very loud NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! because I am such a massive fan of the Tim Burton film that I really don't see why they have to make this a TV series as I can only imagine that it'll be shit! meaning that I hope that this doesn't go the same way as the new US TV series that's based on the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes series, that is a modern twist that stars Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Lui as Sherlock and Watson.
But nevertheless...it is being done along with other tried and tested Disney stories such as Peter Pan and Beauty and The Beast.
Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci will executiive produce this, along with Len Wiseman who will direct this 'put-pilot commitment' adaption of Washington Irving's 'The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow' for the Fox network.
Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are on board to write the script for this along with Philip Iscove who has created the concept for this new TV series which says the Hollywood Reporter will be:
"...dramatic..."
and this has also been said to be a:
"...a modern day supernatural thriller based on the 1820 short story in which Ichabod Crane partners with the town's local sheriff to bring peace to a beleaguered community..."
Peter Pan is also getting this same treatment according to Deadline Holltwood 20th Century TV and the studio based Imagine TV are developing 'The League Of Pan' which will be a new take on the classic Peter Pan story with the idea for this new drama series being that it will be set in modern times and will take place 10 years after the Lost Boys have left Netherland.
This idea was dreamt up by Brian McCauley Johnson and now 20th Century Fox and Imagine TV are now in the process of finding who has written scripts for shows before to co write this pilot script with Brian McCauley Johnson and then once they've got this person on board, they'll take this out and show it around to the TV networks.
But there are also some other Peter Pan movies going to be coming to light...Gavin O'Connor who directed the fantastic 'Warrior' film is going to be directing for Sony Pictures another Peter Pan film, which has the title of 'Pan', the script for this is going to be written by Billy Ray and Joe Roth (Joe Roth produced 'Alice In Wonderland') a completely different take on Peter Pan...and I mean completely different it's more like a left field look at this story as the idea for this film is that Peter Pan and Captain James Hook are brothers!
The other movie that is set to be about Peter Pan that is also working with the title of 'Pan' is going to be a little indie film that will star Aaron Eckhart as a tormented detective called Hook who is hunting for Peter Pan who has been re imagined into a child kidnapper.
CBS are set to reboot their old Beauty and The Beast series which was set in modern day 80's which starred Linda Hamilton as the Belle character that was a district attorney and Ron Perlman as the Beast. But there will be one thing different about this one says Vulture it will have:
"...a procedural twist..."
Whatever this means there has been no other details for this so we will just have to wait to see what this will be.
