Conan movie gets a new director

June 12, 2009By

Conan is coming back to theaters, from Nu Image/Millennium Films, who are making this a remake as well (so no King Conan script that has been floating around forever) and now director Marcus Nispel is attached. He is no stranger to remaking films, as he has already done “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Friday the 13th.”

Marcus Nispel looks like a bum that used to hang out near UCSF in San Francisco that I saw all the time on the bus. Now I just imagine he is directing Conan, and arguing with his imaginary enemies all the while.

Alien prequel vs PredatorS news

June 12, 2009By

So the Alien Remake looks like it will be a prequel instead, and the studio wants Ridley Scott to direct it. Too bad for them he wants commercial director Carl Rinsch to direct it instead. Why? Because he’s banging Scott’s daughter. So Fox might not let this go forward. We shall see on that one.

PredatorS is being produced and written by Robert Rodriquez (who wrote a spec script a long time ago), but now word is the studio is trying to get director Neil Marshall (Doomsday, The Descent) in on the project. No official deal has been inked, so make of that what you will. And, no, you fanboy morons, my governor will not be starring in the film because he’s still the freaking governor. But he might be in The Expendables, which will be the greatest action movie ever made, so that’s cool.

Let's Reboot Cliffhanger!

May 14, 2009By

Oh, wait, someone beat us to the punch!

Storming into Cannes with an ever-more muscular international slate and standout financial results, Gallic mini-major StudioCanal has announced that it will be teaming with Neal Moritz’s L.A.-based Original Films to reboot “Cliffhanger.”

A big-budget international action-adventure thriller set in a big mountain milieu, the makeover of Renny Harlin’s 1993 pic will center on a group of young climbers.

Check this out:

“Just as they rebooted ‘Star Trek,’ we’re going to do the same with ‘Cliffhanger,’ ” said Moritz, who will produce.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yes, the Cliffhanger franchise. You remember all the sequels:
Cliffhanger 2: Hangin’ a Little to the Left
Cliffhanger 3: Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper
Cliffhanger 4: The Revenge of Cliff Clavin

What are three remakes that haven't been in my kitchen?

Why the frak are they remaking Drop Dead Fred?

April 28, 2009By

WTF?

Universal is resurrecting “Drop Dead Fred,” this time as a starring vehicle for Russell Brand.

Dennis McNicholas, one of the writers of Universal’s upcoming “Land of the Lost,” will pen the remake. Marc Platt is producing via his studio-based Marc Platt Prods. along with Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner.

The 1991 original starred Phoebe Cates as a wallflower who loses her job and husband during the course of a lunch hour. Forced to live back home, she’s reunited with her childhood imaginary friend (Brit actor Rik Mayall), who promises to help but causes more havoc.

Produced by PolyGram and Working Title, the first “Fred” was critically drubbed and commercially unsuccessful. But it did achieve a certain cult status and is considered a film that fell short of its full potential.

When this film fails, they will blame internet piracy and the recession.
