Slow days…
New images of Nimród Antal’s “Predators” have arrived. They mostly show a sweaty Adrien Brody and Alicia Braga with guns at the ready, though one does show Walton Goggins as well (he plays a serial killer on death row). This is one of the summer tentpoles we’re looking forward to, because we have a soft spot for the original film, the script was relatively fun, and the actors are an interesting motley crue selection (Goggins and Topher Grace will likely steal much of the movie if the script is any indication). Still as much as we loved Antal’s “Kontroll” we really think he needs to make up for “Vacancy” and “Armored.” We’re rooting for him either way, so don’t fail us. The film hits theaters July 9, 2010.
New pictures and posters from “The A-Team” have arrived! If there is going to be a louder, dumber and more from-the-groin type action tentpole this year, it’s probably not going to anything other than this one (that is unless it’s somehow less subtle than “The Losers,” which was so mediocre, we’re glad it failed). Then again there is “Piranha 3D.”
Here’s the new teaser poster for the Ryan Reynolds Sundance hit, “Buried,” which has been rumored to be undergoing tweaks even though it was a rounding success at the aforementioned film festival. As for the poster. It’s kind of a joke, no? Minimalism is the new terrible?
Is “Batman” doing Broadway? Not quite, it won’t be a musical or a play on the great white way, but Warner Bros. and DC Comics are developing a touring, elaborate arena production aimed at kids and families that could hit as early as 2011 or possibly 2012. Let’s hope for their sake they do better than the Broadway musical, “Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark,” which recently saw Alan Cummings, who was supposed to play the Green Goblin, bail because the beleaguered project is seeming going nowhere. They’re like $51 million in the hole and that musical is soon going to be retitled, “The Money Pit” if they’re not careful.
