‘World War Z’ is a book that is dismissed by a lot of people. It’s really more of a hands on look at a world gone wrong and their attempts to rebuild more than a zombie action story.

Channing Tatum Could Get Anything Made
When did Channing Tatum go from joke to star? He’s all of a sudden Americas sweetheart. He wants to make an Evel Knievel movie, you better believe someone is throwing money at him
Wolverine Is Big in Japan
‘The Wolverine’ is set to start filming this summer with a July 2013 release date. Based upon the iconic run by Claremont and Miller from Logan’s first solo series. It’s James Howlett in Japan. Learning the ways of the samurai, falling in love and hopefully killing a ton of people.
This shouldn’t work but maybe it hopefully will. Confused? I’ll explain and keep using different names to refer to the title character.

Whatever You Say Wes!

Michael Fassbender & Assassins Creed = Legitimacy?
It is being reported today that Michael Fassbender and his fledgling production company DMC will be producing a film version of the hugely popular Assassins Creed video franchise for him to star in. A few things grab me when I think about this:
1) Fassbender is one of the best actors working today. Look at his filmography. The films he is in are either great, or his role is. Shame was the single best acting performance of last year in my opinion.
2) I think they might be taking this film seriously.
Fake Movie Friday: The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest
This would be relativly short, about 5 minutes, the length of the song The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest by Bob Dylan. I don’t want to call it a music video (though it is), this was a project I wanted to film back when I was taking a film making class in Tennessee. But I neither had the talent, the number of friends required for this, the infinite amount of time or the resources. The song will be playing in the foreground the whole time, there will be no other spoken dialogue besides what is said in the song, there will be no extra sound effects of any kind. I’ll just be describing the shots along with dictating the lyrics to the song for this. If Bob Dylan sings a line of dialogue, the character would mouth the words at the same time. The “talking” scenes will resemble an old silent film. It will all take place in Nashville, circa 2002.
For reference:

Fake Movie Friday Brainstorming Session
I am in my office at work right now and it is ungodly hot right now and the AC is broken, so I don’t really have the mental wherewithal to write a fake movie this week. I do however have the mental wherewithal to give you all a glimpse into the fake movies that I will be working on over the next few weeks, and then some titles that just came to me, where I’ll write the movie after.
Bodega Catz – A borderline racist animated comedy about the lives of those cats in bodegas
The Caan Men – Action comedy about James and Scott Caan playing themselves and getting involved with the real mob or something
Don’t Wait Up – Teen Girl Comedy
Snow Justice – Point Break with Snowboarders
Leap – Someones Oscarbait film. That’s all I have. I just need the actor and that will inform the type of bait i’m shoveling out
Dream – A dramatic reimaging of The 1992 USA Olympic Basketball team, only they’re not that great at the beginning
Polly and Max: Time’s Up – Crossover Polly Pocket/Mighty Max film, but they are older and fight time traveling criminals
Nightlight
Grinder
Operation: Kill
…And Then I Fell
So that’s what you all have to look forward to over the next couple months from me. As I said before I usually just start with a title and then a sentence, and then from there I make a movie that may or may not have anything to do with my original idea. Now you at least get to see where my ideas start. I can assure you that the majority of these will probably change completely, but now you know that Don’t Wait Up was supposed to be girl empowering teen comedy from the outset even though a month from now it will probably be a girl-in-peril horror film.
Oh well.
See you guys next week, with the racistly awesome Bodega Catz!
Fake Movie Friday: Lethal Weapon 5
No introduction needed. I’m going for the gold today. I present to you-
Lethal Weapon 5
Alarm bells ring outside of a bank. Three hooded men run out and are picked up by a “fast & furious” style streetcar and it races away. We cut to Martin Fucking Riggs and Roger Fucking Murtaugh sitting in their car. Murtaugh takes out an Ensure and they have a classic convo about being to old for this shit. The streetcar races by and they are off on the chase. Riggs makes fun of the “Barbie’s dream car” they are chasing. After a lengthy chase they take the robbers down.
