Movie News Droppings

[adrotate banner=”1″]Daredevil is getting rebooted, complete with the awesome writer of the greatest film ever, the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still! I’m so excited I could vomit! I wonder if this will get the Twilight Treatment it looks like the Spiderman franchise is getting. Teenage Daredevil, a sparkling demon sitting in class, when suddenly this ninja chick Elektra moves in and there is a love triangle with werewolf Bullseye…

The Stretch Armstrong movie has found it’s Stretch Armstrong, Twilight werewolf boy Taylor Lautner! And it will be in 3-D.

AICN is reporting Tron Legacy (aka Tron 2) may be the first of several more Tron stuff, including a TV series and a third film. Assuming it doesn’t Tron tank at the box office.

The Asylum’s trailer for their Sherlock Holmes mockbuster is up, watch as Holmes and Watson fight giant monsters and Spring Heeled Jack (played by Enterprise regular Dominic Keating) Thanks to Avery for the link

Foywonder has up the 8th Foycast (complete with the worst DTV horror of 2009), as well as the February Foyeruism. Suggested listening and reading!

Takashi Miike’s upcoming Zebraman 2 is getting a spin-off as well! Revenge of the Zebra Miniskirt Police! Seriously. And the three actresses won their roles thanks to a tv show contest, according to a commentor at Twitch. Hopefully the Miike connection will keep this flick from becoming lost in the Japanese DTV sea.

For a review of the original Zebraman, BadMovies.org put one up recently!

The Asylum's Sherlock Holmes is filled with monsters!

[adrotate banner=”1″]The latest Mockbuster from The Asylum will be hot on the heels of the upcoming Sherlock Holmes film. Ben Snyder is Sherlock, Gareth David-Lloyd is Watson, and Dominic Keating from Enterprise is Spring-Heeled Jack. Oh, and the poster promises a Tyrannosaurus, a giant Kraken, and a flame-breathing dragon monster. Just like the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle YOU remember! The plot from the website: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective faces the ultimate challenge when enormous monsters attack London. I thought that was just going to be The Hound of the Baskervilles or something until I saw the poster. Check it out:
