@Rob I’ve posted up the trailer for The Spirit, check the home page. I think it looks like a trailer for soft core porn.

Meh as much as I loved Sin City I am really not that excited about Spirit despite it looking almost identical to Sin City. I really would of liked to have seen it done differently. I think general audiences may think it’s a Sin City Sequal or something.

Some scoopies for today:

Wachowski brothers may team with Keanu (woah!) for the Plastic Man movie which they had written before even doing the first Matrix.

Anyone remember that old cartoon?

In bigger news, a trailer for Frank Miller’s the Spirit was leaked today, taken down everywhere….THEN officially released (what?). So here’s an HD version

Well, the first half of the trailer, i was like “wow, just as awful as the first trailer.” BUT then I got to see Scarlet Johansson AND Samuel L. Nick Fury Mace Windo M-Fing Snake Jackson! and I got just a wee bit excited to the point where the film MAY, just may be watchable.

whadya all think?

Liz, RDJ as Superman would definitely have to mean Woody Harrelson as Brainiac!

Some more Scoopies for you.

First Trailer (Red Band) for Tarentino’s next grindhouse themed film, Hell Ride. And wow, it looks really entertaining. Alot of the usual boys are back including Carradine and Madsen and some other cool stars like Vinnie Jones!

Also, for those who know about Fanboys and its attached controversy with director changes leading to terrible plotchanges, which lead to a rebellion from fan groups, etc. etc. blah blah. Anyways, GREAT NEWS, they have finally succumb to the light side and brought back the original director and more importantly: the PLOT! So the movie will again be about a group of friends travelling to get into skywalker ranch and see Ep1. The Phantom Menace before it comes out because of of the buds has terminal cancer and won’t be around for the actual release. The film features a plethora of awesome young actors and even better cameos from lots of our fav star wars characters, including Ray Park as a security Guard. The issue was that other directors took over and tried to change the storyline just to some kids going to break in and watch it…thats it…not cancer storyline and no heart and emotion.

Anyways, this post is over. That’s my scoops for today.

I love the idea of RDJ as Superman, but not so much the idea of the movie itself. We’ll see.

I’m looking forward to checking out David’s blog. He was very funny on Celebrity Millionaire.

Do we know if the smoking bloke is in the film, or is he dead and gone for good? I seem to remember him getting blown up, or if not his lungs must be rough as old boots by now.

Yeah I hear that BD, alot of people wanted the conspiracy to be solved.
I figured that C,Carter wanted to leave that open for a huge film, but then we get the new small scale stand alone film. ???

Smells like a conspiracy ! Boooo

Now him I didn’t mind, I just thought they kept flogging it into the ground until the show had nothing more to say. Maybe I was expecting too much of the end.

Really Big Dentist, I thought Robert Patrick did a great job after David left, if you watch the episodes in season 9, they close the show up real well. I liked the ending. ?
This new film looks kinda boring though.

Also Greenknight, I can’t stress more if you think the film prices are high then simply don’t go to the movies. I do this alot.

I liked seasons 7.

Well sure its a crock we live in a world with Prince’s, Kings and Queens too.

A-List actors are like sport stars they bring in a lot of money, if you agree or not it dosnt make any difference.

Exxon Oil execs get 15 billion in bonus’s every quarter is that a crock , sure is.

Its not my world I’m just visiting.

I kind of lost interest in The X-Files after the movie, and the season 9 finale was a disgrace. Gillian Anderson remains (ahem) “eminently watchable” though.

Don’t know WTDTY – worth a look?

It’s a crock 790 and it’s why it’s so freakin expensive to see a movie with the family…Five tickets with food..YEESH!! It will soon be cheaper to have a kidney transplant….I don’t feel bad for anyone in Hollywood…Get a real job if you can’t get by acting..

Sherlock Holmes even as a Comedy with Tony Stark bores me….
Personally I’m not going to watch anything Downeys in (except Tropic Thunder) til Iron Man2., won’t be hard with the Hefner and Sherlock films inbetween… ;-p

ARFAD, never seen that… Anyone seen “where the Day takes you”? That’s a pretty grim film about heroin and the streets.

Funny nobodys commented on David Duchovny blog.
I always knew he was screwing himself when he left X-Files.

Hey guys, one reason actors have the Pay or Play clause is because once they sign to a film they usually have to turn down other films. So if the film can’t get off the ground and the actor dosnt have a role anymore he recoops his scheduling loss with that P/P clause. Sometimes actors loose even more then they recoop dependeing on the film they turned down.
