Warner Bros are in trouble. Money trouble. And who better to save them then comic book heroes. Well, if they can save a baby from a burning building, who’s to say they can’t get Warner Bros out of a financial black hole?
High School Musical charmer (as he will forever be known) Zac Efron is reportedly up for the lead role in upcoming Warner Bros film, The Lucky One.
The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson has been jetting round the world to meet with potential cast members of The Hobbit.
After one weekend the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake has made more than $30 million, and, like an inevitable storm of inevitability, a sequel is already being planned in… yes, you guessed it… 3D.
It seems that the letters ‘3D’ have taken on serious money-making significance for film-makers everywhere. Warner Bros has announced that their next few films – including Green Lantern, Sucker Punch, Clash Of The Titans and Harry Potter – will all be given the 3D treatment.
Yep, it seems that next up in the age of ‘Hollywood are running out of ideas’ is a re-boot of Alexandre Dumas’ novel The Three Musketeers. And not only that – it seems like there’s going to be two of them.
Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has signed up to direct a gothic retelling of Little Red Riding Hood under the watchful eye of Warner Bros. And it looks like the girl in that famous cape will be none other than Amanda Seyfried (of Mamma Mia, Mean Girls and the up-coming Dear John). But nothing’s been signed, so we’re not out of the woods yet. (couldn’t resist)
Sigh. And we only have ourselves to blame. Against all the odds, and the cries of “don’t listen to them, they’re shiny and plastic!”, the trite and star-stuffed Valentine’s Day has broken records in the US for for President’s Day and V-Day weekends with an estimated $66.9 million over four days. And people say romance is dead.
Despite the considerable hype surrounding it, Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit is still yet to be green-lit by a studio, with reports now suggesting filming won’t get off the ground till summer 2010 at the earliest.
They’ll be there for you… all ten seasons of them in one handy collection. Although it’s been 4 years since the final episode of Friends aired, there seems to be no end in sight for the popularity of this cultural phenomenon. And to be honest, we can see why. Brilliant writing, characters you can’t help but fall in love with, and a theme tune that somehow never gets annoying. Even now it’s a great Christmas present, and we’ll probably be saying the same thing next year.
