MOVIE NEWS! More superheroes teevee and some badass movies.

Here's some more movie and TV news!

Superheroic action on TV, epic muscle-action in theaters!

Hey guys and gals!

Here's some news, about the stuff I've been following.

First off, the SuperHeroes(TM)!

There's finally a Trailer for the future NBC brand new show about a Batman-like character The Cape!
Looks...great and interesting, strangely...
I'm not expecting too much about this one, but all the previous and clips I've been so far made me quite a positive impressivon so far.
It's like my Batman-would be-perfect-adaption. Imagine people adapting the Batman year one as a tv series (leading up to the Long Halloween or other early Batman tales)
Superheroes work a lot better as serials in my opinion, just for their heroic day-to-day heroic action. Comics are a serial-type of medium afterall!

Anyway here's the trailer, watch it!

Looks neat! 

I wanna believe in this one, please producers/writers/directors, don't screw this one up!!!

Didn't I say in that last NEWS! post that superheroes were finally coming to tv now??
Here's just a proof of that:


It's like the Incredibles meet the Fantastic Four (both the comics and the live action movies)

That's ABC studios take on the new TV genre - No Ordinary Family it is.
It's a bit more in the line of what fans of the show Heroes would want probably.

Like with The Cape, I'm not expecting a lot from both these shows. I hope the SuperHero genre translates well on TV, at least as the 90s live-action The Flash series.
And hoping for something other than a little girly drama à la Smallville. Please, nothing like Smallville! I hate those teen emo-angsty drama shows...

Anyway, that's all for TV.

Movies now!

George A. Romero, legendary horror director is back with more Zombie movies, like I already talked about in a previous post.
If you like the genre, the real zombies, not the dumbed down hollywood running ones, there's a pretty neat review up at shocktillyoudrop dot com!
Check it out! Cool stuff!^ ^

Now, on the BADASS ACTION flicks -

The (epic) good

Stallone has been making the most badass action film every kid's that grew up in the late 80s/early 90s dreamt of....
The Expendables will feature an ensemble cast of pure badass-ysh action heroes, including Sylvester Stallone himself, but also Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, even Arnold "friggin' governator" Schwarzenegger, and many more!

It sounds like a dream come true! A true modern action flick, not some dumb cliché 2000s CGi-fied action flick, but a true modern action flick 80s/90s style!


There's rumours about 2 version, one PG-13 to please the studios and one R-rated, old school! I hope they'll air the R-rated across the world... I'm fearing a Die Hard 4-effect. (you know, getting the kids friendly in theatres and the R-rated much later on DVD...)



Only Jason Statham's presence annoys me in there. I love the guy, sure, but he represents a lot more 2000s action heroes than the old school ones I grew up with...

The bad (ass)

Then there's Van Damme.
He will not be in the Expendables because a) he turned down the offer, because I didn't like the character (rumours about him playing a bad guy/cameo like character) b) he was finishing and closing off his latest project.
The Eagle Path is a movie that was started 2 years ago. The project got cancelled, delayed, interrupted, etc..
It was finally over last year but needed more time to be completly finished.

I love Van Damme. In fact I own most of his movies in DVD. Even his recent direct-to-dvd career has been pretty interesting, a lot more than say Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris or Wesley Snipes.
(to each their own tastes, I say...)
The last movie Van Damme directed himself was The Quest, which is own definitive classic for me, if you like martial arts, tournaments, adventure and gritty action.
His last movie he starred in was JCVD, an incredible comeback to theatres (in french speaking countries at least), and Universal Soldier: Regeneration, well received with the critics but I haven't checked it yet.

So will this new movie -
come to theatres, at least in some countries?
be as good as the two previous flicks?

The ugly (haired dude)

Last but not least, there's going to be a CONAN remake/reboot!
Hey! Hollywood writers need those remakes/reboots, it's not like it's easy being creative nowadays...

This one...sounds... How to put it..? Not necessary!

I dig Conan! When he's played by thhe "friggin' governator" Schwarzenegger!!
That random long haired dude from Star Gate Atlantis will play the governa... I mean Conan. Jason Momoa or sumthin'...
I hope he builds up some muscle for the character... There's gonna be some expectactions for such a classic character!

No trailer for this one. There's still enough time to cancel this one I mean, to shoot it! It only started filming this previous March.

*sigh*

Anyway, enough talkin' for this time!
Until next time~

NEWS! Movie news!

Hey gang!

People still reading my blog?! (somebody?! Hello!... *echoes* Hello Hello Hello ..)
Anyway, for the 2 of you still reading this,
here's some random movie news!



ALIENS and PREDATORS...

So, in case you didn't knew before (or just to refresh your memory),
the franchises Aliens and Predator are still alive and kickin'!

After the highly commercial (in the sense it was made purely for money and not to make a, well, good movie) Alien Vs Predator movies, AVP and AVP: requiem, Fox (the studio) decided to step back a little. See the movies were profitable, made on a non existant budget around non existant plots and directing.

Sure, you may like any of the two AVP flicks, everybody can find some appeal in anything, but let's be honest they were really poorly executed! Myself, I kinda like the second one, but have to admit it is baaaad! I'll just give a thumbs up for the directors of AVP2, being special effects guys making their first movie and trying to stay the more practical they could. (even if it is badly done, with no plot and no light at all XD)

Anyway, back to the franchises.
Fox has kinda stopped doing lackbusters with those 2 legendary creatures and are finally letting competent people make the new real entries in these franchises. (willing to give them a budget this time)
I'm sure Fox will continue lackbusters on the comic book adaptations, but that's another story...

Predators

Predators is the new entry in the Predator series.
It is said to completly ignore the AVP movies (I'll only believe it when I'll see it with mah' own eyes!!!)
It is being directed by Nimród Antal and produced by Robert Rodriguez. The plot is based on one of his old screenplays he did during the 90s.
I have high expectations here, folks!
I see this one as the perfect anti-Avatar. You know. No? Let me see..
People are on an Alien planet against a different specie. Confrontation.
BUT unlike Avatar, the whole movie will use practical effects! The alien planet is a real location.
The aliens are costumes! And instead of an happy ending/peace with the alien civilization..well, we can imainge how things will turn out here!
(plus not stupid that 3D gimmick for amusement park)

Expected for a July 9, 2010!

Here's the previous trailer, in case you were out of the loop:

Awesome! Finally! It will erase any Paul Anderson stupid attempt from my mind!!

And the brand new sneak peak of the awesome Danny Trejo in Predators:

Now that's one helluva opponent for the Predator!

Alien Zero

Well, that won't probably be this one's final title.
Since Fox's using money to make these movies again. Ridley Scott as been almost confirmed to direct this one. (they can afford real directors now!)

I'm less enthusiastic about this one.
I wanna believe in Ridley Scott... But...
It will be a prequel, HR Giger is involved again in the design, the classic black bipedal alien won't be in it, the Space Jockey creature from the first Alien movie will be revealed...
Everything sounds... off..
No pictures for this one, since it is being rewritten once again.
*crosses fingers on this one*


Well, to finish this post, here's a trailer for Survival of the Dead, Goerge Romero new entry in his cult Zombie apocalypse saga:


I love the slow realistic zombies, not the retarded running on drugs ones.

It is the sixth feature in the "of the Dead" saga, which isn't your average film franchise that has following characters/years/plotline but overall theme here. The elements such as dates, places or even whole world changes but the zombies themselves are seen as a progression from the last movies.

This time, it seems it will deal with zombies after a world wide plague. What to do after the end of the world~
Fun stuff!

Until next time guys!
