Back from Vacation Update!!

HELLO EVERYBODY!!! Hope you are all doing good. Now that I'm back from vacation, hopefully I can update this thing more frequently. OK, lots of stuff in this one, so lets get to it!

 

Spider-Man 3 TEASER!!

Earlier today Sony Pictures unvieled the teaser trailer for "Spider-Man 3". Below are some screen captures from the trailer:

 Nope thats not tar.its the alien costume fusing with Spider Man

SANDMAN!!!

Hmm, possible conflict??

Some comments about the teaser: The trailer DOES NOT show "Venom", however it does show Topher Grace as Eddie Brock. Oh and there are quick (I mean really quick!! I tried to screen cap it but no luck) shots of the "Green Goblin" wearing a black costume it looks like.

Movie opens May 4th, 2007!

Green, Lean and back on the Screen!

Next year a familiar franchise will return to the big screen. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" will release next summer. It will be a CGI movie with some live action stuff. Here is the teaser poster

Heroes on a half shell! TURTLEPOWER!!

TURTLES COUNT IT OFF!!! hehehehe

DEAD MEN..TELL "NEW" TALES!!

Disney released some shots of the new animatronic figures inside Disneyland's "Pirates of the Carribean". Check em out below:

Johnny and Johnny

OK, I'm sorry, but this one sucks. I dont think it looks like Capt Barbosa.

Initial reports about the opening of the ride yesterday are fairly positive. Although according to several "Mice Chat" posts the line after opening was 105 minutes and stretched ALL THE WAY to the Emporium at one point!!

If you're heading out this weekend be warned that crowds will probably be huge because of the holiday weekend. And excercise patience if you're waiting in that "Pirates" line. Keep in mind that "Pirates" was built as a high capacity ride, so your wait may not be as long as the board says it is.

OK, that will do it for this update! Hope you enjoyed it. Hopefully more updates later this week!! til the next time!

Mid Week Update

Welcome back to the Drill!!! Again, with the skimpy updates I know. Its gonna be worse soon. I'll be going to Japan this weekend for two weeks and I dont think I'll have time to update again until I get back. But we'll see! On with the show!

Michael Myers Returns

It was announced earlier this week that Rocker/Film Maker Rob Zombie would be bringing back the "Halloween" franchise and resurrecting Michael Myers.

Zombie will write and direct the new movie which will be a re imagining of the character and story. It wont be a straight up remake per se, but more a brand new movie with a new storyline explaining Michael Myers.

"The look and the feel is going to be completely different," Zombie said in an interview. "'Halloween' started off as a very terrifying concept, a terrifying movie. But over the years, Michael Myers has become a friendly Halloween mask. When it came to the point where you could buy a Michael Myers doll that was cute-looking and press its stomach and play the 'Halloween' theme, you knew the scare factor was gone

Although he'll be changing the story and making it more realistic, Zombie stated that the white mask will remain.

The movie will debut sometime in October of 2007.

 

X-Men 4?? Sort of...

Well by now "X-Men: The Last Stand" has been making all sorts of cash and the question around Hollywood and comic book circles is if this really was "The Last Stand" for the franchise. The answer is "yes" and "No".

Avi Arad from Marvel Studios has stated that instead of making "X4" they will instead focus on two spin-off movies. The first of these will be based on "Wolverine".

It will be part origin story, part continuation of the "X-Men" franchise. Some of the characters from the movie will be in the spinoff so it should be interesting. This film is scheduled to go into production next year with a possible 2008 release.

The other spinoff would be a "Magneto" origin story film. This one is still in the planning stages, but Ian McKellen is already confirmed for it. As far as release dates, no one is sure yet.

So there you have it. As of right now, NO "X4" but some Hollywood Insiders are saying that they would be SHOCKED if we didnt see X4 green-lit sometime soon. Especially if "The Last Stand" continues to put up huge numbers. I guess we'll have to wait and see!

Superman Returns..for 2 1/2 Hours

Warner Bros has gone on record that "Superman Returns" will have a run time of 2 hours and 33 minutes. Also several theatres will be showing "Superman" @ 10pm on the 27th so check those listings.

 

OK that will do it for now. MAYBE 1 more update, no promises though. Til the next time!
