I don't
know how wide of a release it has gotten, but if The Hurt
Locker is playing in a theater near you then you absolutely
have to see it. I thought it was one of the year's
best films.
Time for the news. Read on.
- The Rundown -
Ryan
Reynolds has landed the coveted role of Green Lantern.
He reportedly beat out Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake.
Will Smith and director Francis Lawrence might team up for a
movie called The City That Sailed. Supposedly,
it would follow a girl who inadvertently makes Manhattan
begin floating towards England after she makes a wish to be
closer to her father.
Cameron Diaz may be close to starring opposite Seth Rogen in
the Green Hornet.
A movie based on the SNL character MacGruber is in
the works.
Plans are reportedly underway to adapt TJ Hooker into
a movie.
New Blade movies are currently being planned, but
they will more than likely be prequels based on the
character Deacon Frost.
Zooey Deschanel, Natalie Portman, Danny McBride and James
Franco will appear in Your Highness, which is about a
lazy prince who has to save his father's kingdom.
Mel Gibson will join Jodie Foster (she may also direct) in
The Beaver. One of last year's heralded
scripts, the movie deals with a man who wears a beaver
puppet and talks to it like it's real.
Quentin Tarantino has said that Inglorious Basterds
has not been cut and that it's final runtime will be 2:29.
It was
mentioned forever ago as happening, but only recently did
Todd Phillips confirm that he will be doing a sequel to
The Hangover.
Speaking of The Hangover, the guy who wrote it,
Jeremy Garelick will be penning a Baywatch movie.
Rumor has it that George Clooney is interested in being the
next Jack Ryan.
Tomas Alfredson (Let The Right One In) will direct
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. The movie is an
adaptation of an old BBC series that follows a British
intelligence officer who is asked to return to duty to find
a traitor in the agency.
Michael Moore's next documentary will be called
Capitalism: A Love Story.
