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.

Here is the link to find out the other release dates for other countries:

According to Entertainment Weekly this will/already has had a panel at New York's Comic Con and will/ has been attended by cast members Michael Imperioli who will play Chucky in the movie and Pom Klementieffas well as the screenwriter Mark Potosevich.

NEW! 30 Seconds to Mars video!

WOOHOO! I just saw the new video for "Do or Die"one of the many fantastic songs off  the amazing album "Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams".


http://www.vevo.com/watch/thirty-seconds-to-mars/do-or-die/USUV71301747a

I have to say that the stage set in the last bit of the video looks amazing, and as always the clips of the band in this video including the bits like the sunset, outside the airoplane etc at the start of this music video look amazing, I was just thinking though that I still can't believe that (and I know that this sounds very unfan of me but I still haven't seen them and this really shows what I'm missing as they look awesome...and now I can't even believe this but I have just booked tickets to see them on my birthday in Nottingham....Aaaah! I'm soooo excited can't wait for the 21st of November to role round!)

The song though on the end credits though I have to say though I still have to say sounds very much like a song from Drive and is still my favourite....I hope you enjoy this video!

All KOL fans stop what your doing right now and watch this!

I was just on Twitter and thanks to Jared Followill I saw this, drum roll please...the new video for "Supersoaker" this for me is the and most exciting thing I'd heard seen today.

http://www.vevo.com/watch/kings-of-leon/supersoaker/USRV81300303

Well that's a downer, raining on my parade...I can't seem to get the actual video up only this link up.

Oh Well! Enjoy!

And the other day when I was listening to this on Radio 1 where they let slip the name for the new album "Mechanical Bull" I just had to look on Amazon to find out when this was out...and this is out on the 23rd September 2013 so like many Kings of Leon fans I'll be definitly preordering this!

Update on Scarface!

I saw this today on Deadline Hollywood's website this morning and I just had to put this up.

According to a source of Deadline Hollywood:

"Universal has been through a couple of drafts and now is very high on the current draft . The first stop is the director. This is before any conversations on talent or timing."

Also according to Deadline Universal Studios were when this was written on the 31st of July (I know this is now old news but I'm still catching up on all things while I've not been on here plus anything to do with a reboot of this movie is still dead exciting!) that drum roll please the director they're in final talks with to direct this is....David Yates who directed the last couple of Harry Potter films (Harry Potter 5,6,7,8).

He's been this article says charged with the hard task of updating Scarface and making it live up to the classic Al Pacino film and another Scarface that was made before as it says that this film became part of popular culture along with the other one- well you live and learn something everyday, as I thought that there was only one Scarface that being the Al Pacino one with Michelle Pfeiffer, I've just seen the poster for the older version of Scarface and I have to say that it looks a bit like the movie poster for Cassablanca that is another must see old movie that if you haven't seen it yet why on earth not, and when I say this I mean that it looks like a real old gangster movie so I think that this is a movie that I'm definitely going to be renting as this has definitely piqued my curiosity to see what it's like-, but I just thought that it's probably a good idea to try and bring it more up to date, but I think you should only update some of Scarface and not update all of it as you don't want loose what made this film bloody brilliant in the first place or upset any die hard fans of the Al Pacino version it's then  I think that its not going to be as good as those versions and then what was the point in the first place of even trying to make a revamped modern version of Scarface.

And I've just thought if it's not kept some things or not as good as the other versions of Scarface then this is going to make not very many people want to go and watch it and this is going to mean that if not very many people are buying cinema tickets for it then not a lot of money is going to get made for Universal Studios.

I just thought it you haven't seen this film yet and don't know what this is about then I'll fill in the blanks:

Al Pacino plays Tony Montana a cuban immigrant who along with his friend tries to overthrow the local coke kingpins to become the one and only in order to get everything he's ever wanted in life and succumbs to greed.

Head of Universal Studios under his banner Global Produce Marc Schmuger will produce along with Martin Bregman (who produced the Al Pacino version),-thank god is all I can say to this as hopefully he'll be able to keep all the best parts in the last version-.

This may be old news but some things are just too good not to blog about!

You may already have purchased Fall Out Boys fantastically amazing new album but the other day I was on Youtube and I saw their new video for their new single "Alone Together" which I think  is amazing!

t

Since I bought this I have been playing this none stop, morning noon and night and its even the album that I listen to to wake up to in a morning that is how addictive this album is. All the songs on the album are amazing but I have to say though that I was really suprised that although this video had been posted on Youtube on the 1st July 2013 I hadn't heard it being played on Radio 1 which I thought Zane Lowe might have played it or even introduced it as a new record from Fall Out Boy but no.

It's so hard to even say which song off this album is my favorite but I have to say that I absolutely  love "Miss Missing You", its got a synth sound to this song but a good drum beat and as always that Patrick Stump has an amazing voice which makes all the songs off the album sound soooo good, but I also love "In Death Valley" which I have to be honest and say that when I first heard it I thought that it would be cool if in the video the band could be in the desert on camels with laser guns and Patrick could be a sheriff and their looking for someone but right in the middle of the song they get ambushed and a fight ensues. But now that I've seen this video I think this will definitly be very different because the foxes cut off Patrick's hand and have made him evil so maybe the foxes after they've recaptured all of them take them out to the desert and the black dude hiding in the bushes at the end of this video gets on a camel and has to suit up to free them from the evil clutches of apparently as one Youtube comment put it Courtney Love.

 

Apparently this Youtube comment said that all these series of music video from Fall Out Boy were to do with their relationship with the music industry and how their is something in the briefcase that Patrick Stump is handcuffed to in "The Phoenix" that could save rock and roll but 2 chains and Courtney Love kidnap them to get this as they don't want them to have this...so this got me thinking that as I think the duet with Sir Elton John at the end of this album which I think has to be one of the best duets I've ever heard but then again I could be biased as I am a big big fan of Fall Out Boy, if they did a music video for this song they could give the briefcase to Sir Elton John to open and then everyone sees what is in the briefcase once and for all...happy ending!

 

Also I have to say that although it is difficult to peg down which of these songs are my favourite "Just One Yesterday" ft. Foxes is another stand out track from this album as is "Where did the party go"

 

And I do have to say that on the track with " Howt the Mighty Fall" there is a lyric in the song that says " and swallow the key" but I'm always thinking that it sounds like "and swallow the cheese". 

I'm not going to put them all on here as that would spoil the album for those who haven't already got it...which if you haven't already WHY THE HELL NOT! GO GET IT NOW! or you could download it!

I'm back with a brand new rap but guess who else is

I know that I've been away from here for ages, and you may or may not already know about this but I just had to put this up here as it just seems so unbelievable.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, there is a plan to do a Transporter 4, 5 and 6. The Hollywood Reporter reports that during Cannes Film Festival it was announced by Luc Bessons' EuropaCorp which did  a deal last July to become partners with the Chinese Fundamental Films that stated that 15 EuropaCorp fims would be released theatrically in China by Fundamental Films and that 2 companies would co-produce at least three of these 15, that both companies would co-produce, co-finance and distribute the next three installments in the Transporter franchise.

But there's been no word from The Statham's people yet on whether he will return as Frank Miller, former SAS turned transporter with all the rules (the main guy in these films),

The Hollywood Reporter also says that the budgets around $30-40 million and one of these is likely to be located in China.

I have seen all of these films and have to say that I hope it's better than the last one where Jason Statham reversed his BMW off a road and into the lake below and after the bad guys were gone he miraculously managed to open the boot of his car and inflate the car to the surface and then jump start it and get it back on the road, also I thought that this didn't really have much of a storyline except that it was just using the same storyline from the first one where Jason Statham finds out he's transporting a girl somewhere, but the only difference was that in the third one she wasn't in a bag tossed in the boot of his car and they both  had killer (but not in a good way) big ass bling bracelets on that when you got a certain distance away from the car you blew up .

I do have to say though that I did like the first one as it had might  good story, great location Nice, France, great house...this might just be me but I really didn't like it the bad guys shoot the house down as it was so lovely.

Empire says they feel sad if Statham return, but to be honest I can't understand why he wouldn't return in these movies as he really made this role his own and he made these films what they are today.
