Yes your eyes are not deceiving you and I think it might just be me but I am saying huzzah at this news because I think both these films,- "Transporter" and "Transporter 2",- are really good fun to watch for petrol heads like me who also like action, all of these except the 3rd film as this I think that one wasn't very good...and I have to say it but I did like "The Mechanic" film as this I thought was really well written.
I heard a rumour on IMDb.com that there was going to be a "Mechanic 2" the other day but really didn't take it in, but this news about there being a "Transporter 4" is exciting as these for me were really well written films that were filmed in really nice locations,-well I say both films, but I have to say though that I really think the first "Transporter" film that was set in Nice, France is probably the best one out of the whole film franchise and it is the nicest place to film a film,-.
According to The Hollywood Reporter though there will not just be a fourth film there will be hopefully if all goes well on this "Transporter 4" there are plans for a "Transporter 5" and a "Transporter 6". This "Transporter 4" according to The Hollywood Reporter will be a reboot of the original series, and it will be co-produced between Luc Bessons',-who wrote the original film franchise which starred Jason Statham-, Europacorp and Mark Gao's Fundamental Films which is based in Shanghai so as to get easier access into China's booming box office.
This is part of a multiyear deal between the two companies according to The Hollywood Reporter that stipulates that both EuropaCorp and Fundamental Films will release at least 15 EuropaCorp films in China and that Fundamental Films co-produces at least three of these.
However, Jason Statham it is said by The Hollywood Reporter will not reprise the role of Frank Martin ex military who drives a BMW, lots of suits including back up ones, who has his set of rules, will take anything or anyone no questions asked to any destination for money, that is now synonymous to this series of films and the Madeline's ( these are if you don't already know about them are the deliciously scrummy cakey consistency sponge biscuits that you make in silicone kind of seashelled shaped moulds before you leave to bake in the oven, if you've never had one of these before I'd advice you to try them as they are delicious), and I have found out has even sparked a TV series on American channel TNT.
This "Transporter 4" according to The Hollywood Reporter will focus more on the origins story of the lead role of Frank Martin.
According to IMDB.com "The Transporter 4" has a USA release date of 19th July 2015.

Here's a weird one for you....Jared Leto for "Suicide Squad"
I've just seen on this on IndieWires' website and I have to say that I'm still trying to wrap my head around this piece of news, not really sure how to react to this piece of news so your commemts would be much appreciated.
According to The Wrap:
"Jared Leto is circling a key role in David Ayre's "Suicide Squad" that could prove to be The Joker, an individual familiar with the Warner Bros. project".
Not much has been heard of yet about this film other than Jesse Einsenberg who you may or may not recognise from "The Social Network" or if you've seen it "Now You See It" which saw him star as one of the four horsemen which were a group of magicians that are set up by a mysterious person to bring them all together to do various big tricks in order to get into the magic circle but you never see until right at the end of the film who this mysterious person is,-and let me tell you that this is really cleverly written, and a really good twist to it and now that I think about it it is a very aptly named film as you'll be thinking about this long after you've seen the film, so you really should see this film-, who it has been said will reprise his role as Lex Luther in this film, and that the story for this is based on a DC Comic were a group of supervillians are given a shot at redemption by the government by sending them on a mission that will kill them all.
And apparently according to The Wrap this isn't the first comic booked based film that Jared Leto or his representatives have expressed interest in, according to The Wrap Leto's representatives expressed interest in "Doctor Strange" but the studio apparently passed on this as "...they were seeking a more established actor to help introduce one of it's lesser known character's to audiences..."
But it did also say that Warner Bros. have been eager to work with Jared Leto.
Ryan Gosling was according to The Wrap offered the role of The Joker but he bailed apparently because there were options for their to multiple movies from this movie that has had the script rewritten by David Ayre as according to The Wrap The Joker had been left out in Justin Marks' original screenplay for this film.
Other names that have been thrown into the who-might-be-in-the-movie rumour mill is Cara Delevigne who has been rumoured,- I say rumoured because nothing has been set in stone yet so things could all change-, by Latino Review to be being sought after to play Harley Quinn a character that when she's around causing trouble The Joker usually isn't far behind, Tom Hardy, Will Smith and Margot Robbie who are said according to The Wrap all are at various stages of discussions to star in this film.
So with so much still up in the air who can say who will be in this film for certain...but I think as I am a massive fan of 30 Seconds to Mars and Jared Leto and have seen quite a lot of his films including "Dallas Buyer's Club" which he has won an Oscar for best supporting actor that this would be amazing, but different and I wonder how he would play this role as The Joker was last played by Heath Ledger who gave an unforgettable performance as The Joker in Christopher Nolan's "Batman: The Dark Knight".
So we'll have to watch this space to see what else comes out about this film!
Today's Update filmfans!: I've just read on The Hollywood Reporter's website that this is no longer a rumour that Jared Leto might star in this film, apparently according to The Hollywood Reporter he is just one of the speculated actors,-the others include Tom Hardy and Margot Robbie-, in the final stages of talks for roles in "The Suicide Squad", Margot Robbie is up for the role of Harley Quinn and Tom Hardy would play the team leader Rick Flagg.
Jai Courtney who will be in the new Terminator film is according to The Hollywood Reporter the newest name who has been named to be in talks with Warner Bros. to star in the film, (and I think especially if Jared Leto is going to be in this film why wouldn't you want to get a chance to be in a film with him if you were an actor?), it's not known yet what role though Jai Courtney would be playing in the film that has a release date of August 5th 2016,-but I'm not sure if this is just the USA release date or not, so don't quote me on this release date,- and also according to The Hollywood Reporter Will Smith is in negotiations for a role but it is said this is a less assured place according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Although I have just read on IMDB.com via Variety magazine that Jai Courtney might be playing a major role that could be prove to be a Batman villain called Deadshot.
Warner Bros. has not commented on this story though

I don't know why but they're is another Terminator film coming to a cinema screen near you!
No your eyes are not deceiving you there is another Terminator film going to be released for your viewing pleasure...,-well if you can call it viewing pleasure-.
You may or may not have already heard but Arnold Schwarzenegger (sorry about the spelling if it's wrong) is back in another Terminator film and according to Collider.com this film Terminator: Genisys when interviewing the actor Jai Courtney who will be playing the role of Kyle Reese in this film which is just the first in a planned two sequels for this Terminator film which will be shot back to back according to Collider, one of these is said to be released in 2017 the other in 2018, with the shooting of these two films starting in 2016, this film is going to be a reset for the franchise that in an earlier interview with Collider.com the actor said that he would really love to see this film as an R rated film but
"...didn't think in this day and age it is much more likely to be a PG-13..."
I've seen one or two of these films but and I heard how badly the last film that featured Christian Bale went down so why on earth make another one of these films...they had their day in the sun didn't they? and how/why on earth cast Arnold Scharzenegger as how is he meant to be taken seriously after the roles in films he has had recently done such as "The Expendables" which is just a cast of old ageded action stars who need to do another film for money purposes but it just is comedy, take "Escape Plan" which was with Sylvester Stallone who has had so much plastic surgery you can't really tell what he's saying or his face looks like it's melting for example...but I've just thought that the Expendables being written and directed by Sylvester Stallone has really become a big money family friendly franchise, so I'm thinking that Paramount Pictures (who will be distributing this film) with making two sequels that are going to be filmed back to back that this will hopefully generate lots of interest in either people who have seen the last Terminator films and want to see this film to see what its like,-but have seen the Terminator with Christian Bale in and want to erase this from their minds but want to see how the story of the new film will follow on in the grand scheme of Terminator,- or newbies to the whole Terminator film thing, and this will hopefully be translated into lots of numbers of people spending money at the cinema and hopefully if this film is ok then this interest by fans of the Termiator film will call for a franchise,-the power of fans is never to be underrated as just look at Veronica Mars which via Kickstarter the fans got it made into a film,- which in this day and age is big money, take a look at Fast and Furious as well as The Expendables, Batman etc etc... I just don't know.
Case and point is how the actor said in an interview with Collider.com that:
"...if someone hasn't seen the first two Terminator films they wouldn't be completely lost when watching Genesys..."
Not a lot has been said about the full plot of this new film that has been described as a reset not a reboot by Jai Courtney in this same interview, but what I have managed to get so far is that according to Entertainment Weekly is that:
The year is 2029, the Future War is raging and a group of human rebels have the evil artificial intelligence system Skynet on the ropes. John Connor ( who will be played by Jason Clarke who was recently in Dawn Of The Plant of the Apes) is the leader of the resistance, and Kyle Reese (who will be played by Jai Courtney) is his loyal soldier raised in the ruins of post apocalyptic California."
Also according to EW.com story of Reese being sent back to 1984 by John Connor to save his mother from a Terminator programmed to kill her so that John Connor will never be born that still stays the same, but this time Sarah Connor is very different to the one in the previous films, Emilia Clarke will be playing this younger Sarah Connor, this time Sarah Connor will be seen as an antisocial recluse who knows her way round weapons as the story is that at the age of 9 she was orphaned by a Terminator killing her mother and has ever since been raised by Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator that she calls "Pops" who is trained to guard rather than to kill.
And not only this but in an interview with EW.com, Emilia Clarke said that their will be a twist in the story as "..story is driven in a very different direction by how Sarah Connor fundamentally rejects that destiny..." as she went on to say " Since she was 9 years old, she has been told everything that was supposed to happen". So she's a little bit rebellious!
So this will be very different to how audiences have seen Sarah Connor before, this film will be coming to the UK in 3rd July 2015.

OMG! Hold the bus...Elliot Minor have a new song...they've not fallen into oblivion!
I do realise that this headline does seem a bit dramatic but this for me and probably every other Elliot Minor fan is BIG news and it is sooo exciting that you just have to listen to this and if you're as excited about this you just have to download the new single "All My Life" which this may seem very geeky but as soon as I heard this news for me it acted like a bat signal and I of course downloaded this and played it on repeat being the giant fan of both Dan Hetherton's (sorry about the spelling if I've spelt it wrong) band's which include Elliot Minor and "The Dead Famous" that I am, and of course I felt that the world needed to know about this.
I have to say I really like the intro to this song, the way it builds up and this may sound a bit ponsy but it sounds a bit triumphant like "Yeah We're Back Guys!" and I have now that I've just thought about it this song as well as the black and white video does make me smile because being a giant fan of Elliot Minor I'm really happy that there is new music from them...and if your like me why not go see them at the Camden Underworld Pub, Camden, London on the 31st October celebrating Halloween,-it really makes me sad to think that I won't be able to go to this gig as I've got another Halloween party to go to on the same night, but anyhew I digress- and I have to say though that it does make me feel a little sad to hear when the track finishes though.
Oh well thank god for the repeat button!
Stop the Press:Fall Out Boy new video for Centuries!
You may or may not have seen this new music video from Fall Out Boy for their new single "Centuries" and as I am a massive fan of this band I was very excited to see this video when I came back from my holidays and I have to say that this is a must see for all fans of this band, but if you are a fan of new music or their kind of music then you have to see this music video.
If your like me and always listen to this new song of "Centuries" and are like I know how this song goes that they sample but don't know the name of the track and it then get's stuck in your head for ages after, then fear no more I have finally found the song that is sampled in this new Fall Out Boy track, it Suzanne Vega and "Tom's Diner" and here is the music video in case your interested in listening to this song.
This might sound a bit biased as I am a fan of the band but I love this video,- if you've seen this video and are like me and think you recognise the guy at the end of the video but don't know his name it is Rick Ross (in case you don't know he is a rapper and owns a record label) which makes me think "is the next single of Fall Out Boys' going to feature Rick Ross?", as well as all their songs ever since I heard their first single "Sugar We're Goin' Down", and if you've read this blog before then you'll already know that I absolutely loved their new album "Save Rock 'n' Roll" as well as the last track on this album on the album "Save Rock 'n' Roll ft. Elton John" being one of my favourite songs from this album as well as "Just One Yesterday ft. Foxes", "Miss Missing You", "Young Volcanoes", "The Phoenix" this song last song included and "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light 'Em Up)" being for me stand out songs from this album.
The high quality/ filmic quality to all the music videos from "The Young Blood Chronicles" definitely looks like it has been carried on in this new music video,-I say filmic as this new music video looks a little bit like the film "Gladiator" (one of my favourite films) meaning that it looks very dramatic (especially when Patrick gets spun into the air in slow mo) and very dramatic which some people have been saying in the comments section of Fall Out Boy's Youtube channel that this brilliantly sums up the essence of the song.
I just think though that why not do a Gladiator style music video as this film is so brilliant!
I also think that this music video is so awesome that this should definitely be awarded best music video of 2014/15 as I have to say there seems to be a lot of music videos floating around at the moment that aren't really necessary and that boarder on offensive not naming any names but Nicky Minajs' "Anaconda" music video springs to mind as well as Maroon 5's "Animals" music video.

News just in Bradley Cooper fans!
Breaking News film fans: Bradley Cooper will be treading the boards and he will be playing the infamous role of The Elephant Man Joseph Merrick in a revival of a play written by Bernard Pomerance that was premiered at the Booth Theatre in 1979.
According to Yahoo! News via sky news this play "...which emphasises Joseph Merrick's humanity,-even adding a love interest to the story- and his civility despite his appearance that traces Merrick's journey from being an absurd circus freak to a curiosity of London's high society..."
was a play that the actor wasn't acquainted with until later when he was studying at the Actors Studio Drama School in New York, saying that:
"...It wasn't until grad school where we had to choose a thesis and I came across Bernard Pomerance's play..."
This though isn't the first time that Bradley Cooper has played the role having played Joseph Merrick back in 2012 for a short run at the Williamstown Theatre Festival.
He will be starring in a 14 week run of this revival starting with previews on 7th November.
In case your wondering how will they give the elephant man his elephantmaniness i.e his disfigurement, well apparently according to this article the actor will not use prosthetics he will opt instead:
"...to imply disfigurement through facial expression and twisted posture..."

Gwen Stefani New Song Alert!
I saw this today on Facebook and as I am a massive fan of all things No Doubt and Gwen Stefani I just had to put this up here:
Here is the video to her new single "Baby Don't Lie", this to me sounds very dancy, like you could just stick this on and have a good old dance to it or even put it on for when your sitting around the pool on holiday, but I do have to say that this video is a bit shit but it's probably only the initial video where if the single gets lots of interest, mainly money then there will hopefully be another better video as the whole thing looks quite bad like the computerised dancing stick men they look really bad as if the team behind this video couldn't afford to hire an animation expert to make these stick men look like their not stick men.
Also I have to say though that the one legged hop dancing at the end by the dancers behind Gwen looks funny but I do have to be honest and say that as it's Gwen Stefani and she is looking as stylish and as sharp as ever I'll forgive her for this, but this does sound promising for the album that she has said before now that she is working on as well as a new album with No Doubt.
Now I really can't wait to hear other songs from this album!
