The NZA Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 wow, just wiki'd his ass. Those "fights" were crazy, and im glad Kojima doesnt take him serious. Blair Erickson, a writer of a treatment for Alone in the Dark, has written a critical account of his experience working with Boll. It includes allegations that Boll stole ideas from prior movies and wanted to add elements to the story that were not to the tone of the source material. Uwe chose to not use Erickson's script, citing reasons such as it having "not enough car chases." heh...i bet that's what that movie needed.

Iambaytor Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 You laugh but there was a car chase at the beginning. But yeah of the video game adaptations I thought Mortal Kombat and Silent Hill were great, Street Figther and Resident Evil were okay but not great, the rest were horrible.

Ganny McVagflaps Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I saw Stomp The Yard today. There were no white people in the whole movie. It was kinda like Idlewild without the music. Oh wait, no there was one part where the bad-guy (played by Darren's Dance-Grooves who I wiki'd to find out is 35 so his 6 year law course must be really moving slow) took the object of the main protagonist's affection to a snooty restaurant and there's loadsa whites there. Those fucking whites. I saw we take Atlanta back for the brothers. Anyway, I must commend Stomp The Yard for it's great use of slow-mo and montages. It even pulls off a few classic slo-mo during a montage moves. 10/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 was idlewild any good? i dont do musicals, but outkast could sway my vote. baytor - you put SF and RE in the same catergory? really?

Yeah I hold them in the same regards, they're okay but not great and I hate the lead. Resident Evil 2 was moronic, the first 15 minutes made the impression that it would be a good movie and then Milla drove that motorcycle through that stained glass window and the movie turned to shit.

Boogie Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Great Stuff Jax! baytor - you put SF and RE in the same catergory? really? I guess i liked RE more than some. I didnt see part 2 tho. You didn't see RE 2???? It's SUPERIOR than the shitty first one. This one actually is based in the game... You can destroy every memory of the first one. Because this is the movie fans really like to see. Nemesis, Gill, The S.T.A.R.S. members, zombies, it's fucking amazing! I like it.... I didn't like the SF movie though... It sucked...

Reverend Jax Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Shia LaBeouf of Holes fame is set to play Indiana Jones Jr in Indy 4, according to Slate. Anyone who saw Holes surely say LaBeouf as a great character actor. With a hint of Dustin Hoffman, I suspect he'll be a great Indy Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganny McVagflaps Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Newsaskew haven't even picked up on this one yet...kinda surprising... RT-UK Exclusive: Kevin Smith's Horror Project RevealedPosted by Joe Utichi on Friday, Apr. 06, 2007, 09:50 AM Joe Utichi writes: "Rotten Tomatoes UK can exclusively reveal that Kevin Smith's next project - a horror movie - is called "Red State". Up until now Smith has revealed little about the film other than the fact it's a horror movie and it'll be decidedly less joke-y than his back-catalogue. But, in addition to the title, Smith was keen to give us a head's up on the plot of the film. If you've seen any of his "An Evening With..." DVDs, you'll know how much fun it can be to sit down in an audience and listen to "Clerks II" director Kevin Smith talk. In London this past week with his family - his daughter Harley is missing Johnny Depp's daughter Lily-Rose while he's in town working on "Sweeney Todd" so they arranged an international play-date - Smith took to the stage of the Prince Charles Cinema just off Leicester Square for two of his infamous four-hour Q&As. But even in the relatively small company of five hundred that packed into the cinema on each night, getting a question in proved difficult as Smith worked his trademark tangential style around topics as diverse as his favourite dinosaur, why he hasn't yet seen Firefly and what happens to a Dachshund post-coitus. So RT-UK naturally leapt at the chance to spend some time with Smith one-on-one while he was in town and he graciously allowed us a whole two hours to riff on whatever came to mind. We'll be sharing the full conversation very soon but we did want to rush this item to your attention right away. UK audiences recently saw documentary journalist Louis Theroux spend time with members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, a controversial church group made largely of members of the Phelps family and run by preacher Fred Phelps. Infamous in America for taking a supremely homophobic stance and for picketing the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq, the group see media interviews as a platform for airing their views and the word of their founder, Fred Phelps. "That dude has always fascinated me and he's really informed the horror movie that I'm working on," Smith told us, "The movie's called 'Red State' and it's very much about that subject matter, that point of view and that position taken to the absolute extreme. It's certainly not Phelps himself but it's very much inspired by a Phelps figure." But while Smith is convinced that "horror" is the right definition for the film, he's not so sure audiences will agree. "To me there's all kinds of horror, and killing someone's not the absolute worst thing you could do to another human being," he said, "The death in a horror movie has always been the money shot in a very exploitative manner. Stabbing somebody and splashing blood all over them is the equivalent to some dude exploding over some broad's face. "And to me, too, the notion of using a Phelps-like character as a villain, as horrifying and scary as that guy can be, there's even something more insidious than him that lurks out there in as much as a public or a government that allows it and that's the other thing that I'm trying to examine in a big, big way. It's weird because for a few months I've been saying 'horror movie' and technically it is, but it's also not a very traditional horror movie in the sense that people have been asking me, 'Is it a slasher movie? Is it like the Japanese horror flicks?' It'd be much easier to just show it to them when I'm done and be like, 'This is what I meant.' At which point I'm sure there'll be people saying, 'This ain't a horror movie!' But to me, it is." Smith is planning to write the film in the next few months before shooting it later in the year. "We're going to shoot it somewhere in the middle of the country, in a true red state." And it's not the only feature project on the horizon, as Smith told us he's in the middle of writing a comedy to shoot in the winter. "It takes place in the middle of winter in Minnesota so we have to wait for snow," he said. Our full conversation with Smith, including more about "Red State", is on its way, but for now why not have your say on the forums or visit Smith on the web at silentbobspeaks.com and viewaskew.com. Many, many thanks to Kevin for being so generous with his time, on Good Friday of all days, and to his wonderful assistant Gail Stanley we are enormously indebted for the late nights she's pulled putting us in touch across time-zones." source Fred Phelps is worse than the wolfman, frankenstein, dracula and the mummy rolled into one ball. This could be really good. I'd like to see some unknowns though. I'm sure if he kept the budget low enough the Bros. Weinstein would have no problem with that. I just hope it doesn't delve into the realm of Dogma-stylee over-reaching. Oh, and he gets someone to move that fucking camera. I'm not asking for crane shots but Jesus...get it together, Smith! As for the comedy set in the middle of winter in Minnesota.... weeps tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 damn - a trailer (i cant yet watch) for the latest Bourne film, which im interested in since i dug the last 2, and a Smith horor film inspired by Phelps? im glad i checked this thread.

Reverend Jax Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Seems Emile Hirsch, who Aartemys casts to play the role of me in Hondo's Bar: The Movie, has been cast to play Spped Racer in the Speed Racer movie, directed by the Wachowski Brothers of Matrix and V for Vendetta fame. Also, Christina Ricci as Trixie (good casting call!), Matthew Fox of Party of Five and Lost as Racer X (eh...) and John Goodman as Pops Racer, because John Goodman is the only big guff actor in Hollywood. Also, there are going for a G or PG rating, and it will be shot mostly against green screen. May 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Movie news by way of soundtrack news... According to Billboard.com, the soundtrack for the film, Let Fury Have the Hour: The Punk Rock Politics of Joe Strummer has been announced. The film adapts the book of the same name, based on writings by journalist/filmmaker/activist Antonino D'Ambrosio. It was produced by prominent actor/activist Tim Robbins, and is planned to examine both the influence of the Clash and politically motivated musicians in the same vein. The soundtrack itself will include Ted Leo, Chuck D (Public Enemy), Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service), Mos Def, Moby and Radio 4 who also provide the score. Though the focus of the film is not yet known, the publisher described the book thusly: Let Fury Have the Hour collects articles, interviews, essays and reviews that chronicle Strummer's life both as a musician and a political activisst. Included are essays and interviews by Antonino D'Ambrosio, alongside contributions from Peter Silverton, Billy Bragg, Ann Scanlon, Lester Bangs, Sylvie Simmons, Charlie Bertsch, Greil Marcus, Amy Phillips, Joe Schalit and others. Strummer, Leo, Chuck, Mos...I'm in. I can't find dick about this anywhere though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
