I have to be honest, I loved Zoolander, and I would love to see a sequel, but only as long as Owen Wilson, David Duchovny, David Bowie and Will Ferrell return.”I made the PIano key Neck Tie!”
As for another Meet the Parents, though Meet the Fockers was funny in parts, I found that it was a complete waste of the talent involed such as Dustin Hoffman, I felt was very underused and not given much to work with, Streisand was decent.
A third fim would be unnecassary.
As for Shia Labouff’s turn in a John Grisham thriller. I really don’t think he needs to put into Grisham Film yet. Maybe in a couple years when he has a couple more films under his belt and perhaps an Oscar nomination. Take alook at the running history with Grisham Fims:
Kevin Spacey- Oscar Winner
Tom Cruise- NOminated 3 Times
Matt Damon-Oscar Winner
Gene Hackman- Oscar Winner
Dustin Hoffman- Oscar Winner
You get the picture, I think Shia Labouff is overrated and needs to devlop a bit more as an actor before he is given something like this. But thats justa personal opinion.

“Take these rumors with a pinch of salt a British tabloids have a habit of being creative with the truth.”

And then some!
For me, Zoolander was the last time I found Stiller funny. Would prefer he didn’t ruin it with a sequel, but could be funny. Maybe.

I would be happy with a straight to DVD Punisher franchise, as long as Ray Stevenson and a 35+ million budget returned.

I hope PWZ becomes a cult classic on DVD/Blu-Ray!

Im not suprise about punisher warzone, there was virtually no advertising at all! I think I saw one preview on tv and it was not even that eyecatching.

Twilight dosent suprise me either since it is a very popular book its going to be a popular movie.

The associate sounds interesting guess ill have to listin around for more news on that.

Punisher cost 35 million (not counting P+A budget). This is a bad bomb and it probably never make all of it’s money back. It was really bad so I’m not suprised. It should have gone direct-to-DVD. Lionsgate would not have lost their shirts if they had. Way to go Lexi..franchise killer..

Looks like if there’s going to be a new “Punisher” film or two,they’re likely to head straight-to-DVD,with possibly the likes of either(a returning)Dolph Lundgren(if he feels up for another Frank Castle adventure),Don “The Dragon” Wilson,Gary Daniels,Mark Dacascos,or even Steven Seagal donning the trademark skull t-shirt.

The Associate sounds like a new version of the Firm .
