[ED: For our header image before our rant this afternoon, we bring you the new teaser posters for Baz Lurhmann’s Australia. The best we could do was to track them back to MovieCityNews]
There are lots of things happen in movies Paul W.S. Anderson left the video game adaptation Spy Hunter that was supposed to star the rock and left the project in mortal peril, according to Latino Review.
But we can only cover certain thing in their entirety, and other stories, like the Cohen broths hiring Tony-nom Michael Stuhlberg and Richard Kind to be in their new black comedy (titled A Serious Man) about a mid-western professor whose wife leaves him to live with his “socially inept” brother are best described in a few lines (like we just did)
But other film debate catches our eyes from time to time, because we spend most of the day reading things on the internet. Like Warner Bros still can’t figure out what to do with their DC superhero properties now that The Dark Knight has proved they can be profitable. They claim to be turning their wheels on Wonder Woman (once with Joss Whedon, now free-floating), The Flash, Green Arrow (who actually has a super-cool movie prepped for him called SuperMax), and Green Lantern (once rumored to be played by the rapper Common). They literally have no idea how to get these things cranked out faster, and they bitched about it in Variety earlier.
We’ve also been following The Venture Bros Season 3, which just got a cool “directors commentary” added to it on the Adult Swim site, for those of you confused by some of the events in last week’s pre-penultimate episode, ORB.
/Film is cutting its way through the internet nothing by writing on the “appropriation” of black themes in Tropic Thunder while covering the under-the-radar auction of one of #3 in the original 5 Tim Burton Batmobiles.
Meanwhile, with news that Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander (who wrote Ed Wood, Man on the Moon, and – um – Look Who’s Talking?) have been signed on to write a Goosebumps movie for producer Neal Moritz (probably still smarting from Evan Almighty) has FirstShowing.net pleading: “Please Tell me I’m Not The Only Goosebumps fan left.”
To which we reply: we still have our Goosebumps fan club hat we got at some Scholastic Books event before Harry Potter was even scribbled on a napkin by JK Rowling. We even still have most of the books, and some of them – like Ghost Beach – still kinda hold up in a pulpy way.
Here we are reading the odd articles of the net while important people like Guillermo Del Toro work on the Hobbit script.
Sometimes, you don’t want to have perspective.
