Will Smith says there will be a “Hancock” sequel which is great news for people who like popcorn flicks and bad news for people that posses a shred of intelligence. Again, it was one of the worst films of 2008, easily. [JoBlo]
LOL Update: About The Blu-Ray DVD that comes out today. “No — don’t buy Hancock on Blu-ray unless you have the movie-watching taste buds of a mountain gorilla. It has one of the dumbest, looniest third acts ever created in the history of drama. Relentless big-whomp special effects, but what’s that?” – Hollywood Elsewhere. Well put, consider yourself retarded if you thought this was a good film. In related news, Smith’s kid, Jaden, sounds like he’s totally going to fuck-up the “Karate Kid” remake.
Another Johnny Depp/Tim Burton team-up, this time a remake of “Dark Shadows”? Let’s face it the last time these guys had great results together was in 1994 in “Ed Wood” (in fact that’s Burton’s last good movie). [MTV]
“Ghostbusters 3” with Sigourney Weaver? [MTV]
As expected, the “The Dark Knight” will be re-released in 2009. The date now is officially January 23. [/Film]
“Sin City 2 is written,” creator Frank Miller finally says. “And we could be shooting as soon as April.”We bet you $500 bucks if it shoots in April, Robert Rodriguez is not involved. Another $100 says April won’t happen (especially not after “The Spirit” tanks). Rodriguez is working on something else. [FirstShowing/IGN]
Bryan Singer says he’s not officially involved in talks for the next “Superman” film, but that he… is not in official talks for the next “Superman” film. Don’t expect him to direct it. [Cinemablend]
“Star Trek” in IMAX? [Cinematical]
Jay Baruchel will star with Nicolas Cage in “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” a live-action Disney film. [Cinemablend]
Gothy emo-rockers My Chemical Romance says their cover of Bob Dylan’s “Desolation Row” is “integral” to the end of Zack Snyder’s “Watchmen.” Congratulations? We can’t think of anything more abortion-sounding then My Chemical Romance tackling a Dylan song. Heresy. [MTV]
Hancock 2…. oh dear…If god does exist then he/she DOES NOT watch the movies???!!!
I was so ready to disagree with you about Ed Wood being Burton’s last good film…then I checked his filmography. Yikes. (Although I do get a kick out of Sleepy Hollow, it could have been a lot better).
