Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: September 28, 2008

It’s a sad Sunday for the Weekend Movie News Wrap Up, with the passing of Hollywood Legend Paul Newman. However, the beauty with Hollywood is that great films and great actors will live on forever. Newman has left a great body of work as his legacy, but lets not forget that the man also was hugely charitable,  giving millions away from the profits of his Newman’s Own brand. It’s a real shame.

In this week’s wrap up:

George Lucas finds a director to fly Red Tails; Will Smith flies again in Hancock 2; Sony buys Mark Millar’s War Heroes; Sherlock Holmes gets some love and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels sees Pink.

Elementary, My Dear Ritchie!

Elementary, My Dear Ritchie!

Guy Ritchie hasn’t exactly had the best batting average as of late - Revolver and Swept Away, anyone? But maybe things will soon turn around for Mr. Madonna.

Ritchie has been tapped to direct Sherlock Holmes for Warner Brothers. Apparently, it’s based on a forthcoming comic-book that’s “more adventuresome and takes advantage of his skills as a boxer and swordsman.”

Okay. Just as long as Ritchie & Co. don’t attempt to “sexy up” the character. You know, suddenly Watson starts spatting out bad one-liners and what not.

But I can assume we won’t be seeing Holmes battling any cocaine addictions this time out.

Warner Brothers is aiming for a 2010 release.
