Firstly, check out the trailer for ‘Safe Haven’, the most recent Nicholas Sparks adaptation.
If you are like me, I bet you hate the world right now. You want to watch people suffer. You’re in luck! Check out the red band trailer for the ‘Evil Dead’ remake.
Feel better?
Russ showed us the trailer for the trailer yesterday. Here it is in all it’s glory. Mandarin, Iron Patriot, Nerd Boners!
datBloo on YouTube had the best comment about this: “Not so big and bad now Tony. Avengers ain’t gonna come save you now bro!”
DBC Pierre’s 2003 novel “Vernon God Little” is getting the big screen treatment from Werner Herzog.
VGL won the Man Booker Prize when it was released in 2003 and got the Peter Smith seal of approval when I read it in college. Not for class, recreationally, I’m not a nerd.
The story about he aftermath of a school shooting and the title character dealing with a friend being the shooter and the suspicion of his involvement. His follow-up “Ludmila’s Broken English” which I’ve also read, I’m super cultured, is pretty good.
Michael Fassbender has officially signed on to the Assassins Creed film, and will be one of the producers.
Look at Fassbenders film choices over the last 3 years. He steals scenes and picks characters with real meat and content. I have faith this will be the videogame adaptation to rule them all.
I’m pumped.
Nicolas Cage has signed on to star in a reboot of the Left Behind series. Left Behind was a film starring Kirk Cameron that came out about 10 years ago and was basically a film about the rapture that the religious right ate up with a spoon. It’s based on a series of books that cater to Evangelical and Born Again Christian types. Not saying all of those people are bad, but the ones who push their beliefs on everyone and make laws a referendum on religion definitely are bad.
Anyway the writers of the original film must have gotten the hollywood money bug, because they want to reboot the series to be more accessible and more disaster film based. I don’t know how you parse the religion out of this property, but it’s my guess that they are going to try and make modestly budgeted disaster films with a recognizable actor, and have the films hit you in the religious sense from more of a subliminal point. However, where this is going to go wrong is anyone who is fervently religious and born again, is pretty much incapable of telling an understated story. The religion is going to smack you in the mouth probably more, just now with a bigger budget.
I hate everything about this.
Also: Did Nicolas Cage officially throw in the towel?
Terry Crews said it months ago “YOU GOT TO HAVE A TRAILER FOR THE TRAILER” when discussing Expendables 2, and Iron Man 3 heeded that call.
This is a 15 second teaser for the trailer coming out tomorrow on Apple Trailers.
I’m in. But of course I am.
So some relatively interesting news came out of 20th Century Fox camp regarding the sequel to Xmen First Class.
Mark Millar (writer of Kick-Ass and Wanted), has come out to say that the sequel to Xmen set in the past, but dealing with the future, will be very Terminator-like in tone, which should only mean that we are finally going to get a story filled with Sentinels. This should come as no surprise to anyone that read the original Days of Future Past story. So this is a good thing. It seems like Fox, now that Tom Rothman has left the studio is really going to try and focus on the Marvel properties they have and try and follow the Avenger blueprint by creating a cohesive world. Millar, who will be working for Fox as the Marvel guru, similar to Whedon’s job with Disney, and he basically said that he wants to try and make it so that when we go and see an Xmen film, we don’t notice that it takes place outside of the Marvel Film Universe. This to me is a step in the right direction, however Fox has a lot of continuity issues to clean up even with the new Xmen franchise as it relates to the former trilogy.
It sounds like Days of Future Past can help with this. First Class, while excellent in my opinion, further made the Xmen universe convoluted especially when you compare it to Xmen Origins, and then to the first Xmen. Famke Janssen has already intimated that she might be reprising the Jean Grey character, in The Wolverine, and Patrick Stewart even hinted he might be playing Xavier again, so maybe Days of Future Past will exist to sort of bridge all of the time/character incongruities, so that going forward we can just have normal stories that don’t make our heads hurt. Maybe this will be like JJ Abrams’ Star Trek. Or maybe it will just suck.
I don’t know either way, but at least they aren’t pretending like these issues aren’t going to just clean themselves up. I hope Millar is the right man for the job, because I want to see awesome X-Men movies continue.
Alright…. I’m in a horror kind of mood, so…
Houseboat
The year is 1982. Billy, age 16, has always been an outsider. At every school he’s been to the kids all make fun of him, the teachers don’t understand him and cannot help him (or just don’t want to). He lives with his dad and his older sister, Katlyn, on a house boat, which makes all of the kids at school think he is even weirder. He also has terrifying dreams. The first one we see is of him strapped to a chair, crying his eyes out. It looks almost like saw. He is begging the person not to keep going, the person looks like a sci-fi version of a nazi scientist. He keeps flipping a switch which will electrocute Billy who would scream if they didn’t put a gag in his mouth to stop him from choking on his tongue. There are shadowy figures in the background who watch and nod at the scientist to flip the switch. He wakes up sweating.
So I didn’t fall asleep until 8:30am for some reason and I tried my best to write a movie with no sleep this morning but I couldn’t move. Now I’m just staring at the wall so let’s see what comes out of my head brain. When was the last time a kid was transported in time anyway? ‘Forbidden Kingdom’ in 2008? I can’t think of a title.

Model MissBehavior is inspired by “Model Misbehavior”, a movie that I have no idea what it is about. I saw the TV listing for it in a bar, and I thought “That could be a movie” but I’m making it in my image.
So here we go!
Model MissBehavior is about a High School for Models in NYC. These are your average beautiful high school girls who go to private high school, but also are learning to become the next generation of SUPERMODELS. The school is run by famous model-centric people.
