So we're all getting into the flow of things now, so how about we just take a look at what's floated my way today?
Johnny Depp As Doctor Who?
Multiple sources are coming in to Tor.com that Russel T. Davies has been working on a big screen adaptation of Doctor Who and, to top it off, that Johnny Depp has signed on to play The Doctor for this version. Would this be a reboot to the series, for America, or would it fit into the canon? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Remember to mark this as rumour, and take a bowl of salt with it all.
Marvel Creates TV Division
I'm ashamed for missing this yesterday, but The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Marvel have recently set up a TV division, with comic and TV writer Jeph Loeb as the head. This new division will deal with getting various Marvel creations to TV, both live action and animated, along with getting them out on DVD. With the number of smaller heroes and villains in the Marvel universe, I'll be interested to see who they pick to bring to the small screen.
Andy Serkis As Caeser The Ape
Andy Serkis has once again joined up with WETA Workshops, this time taking the role of Caeser the Ape in Rise Of The Apes. Caeser is the first intellgient ape, created whilst finding a cure for Alzheimers, who eventually leads the revolution against mankind. I'm hoping this leads on to the original films, rather than the Tim Burton remake that was quickly forgotten and removed from memory. I mean, what the hell was with that ending? Ridiculous...
Paranormal Activity 2
The first teaser trailer has been revealed for Paranormal Activity 2, showing us the same style of filming from the first film, and promising the same sort of scares as the first film. Can anyone spell "cash-in"?
Edgar Wright On Ant-Man
Talking with Box Office Magazine, Edgar Wright has revealed some little details about his adaptation of the lesser known hero of the Marvel universe. With Scott Pilgrim Vs The World almost upon us, we could finally start seeing some more action from Ant-Man...
Predators Clip
Over on JoBlo they've managed to get themselves an exclusive clip from the upcoming Sci-Fi Action adventure, Predators. The clip shows Adrien Brody putting on his best action-hero voice, and doing quite well at it. I honestly can't wait for this film...Avp 1&2 hurt, so I hope this delivers...
Dominic Cooper As Daddy Stark
Over at Den Of Geek they've confirmed that Dominic Cooper has taken on the role of Tony Stark's father in the upcoming Captain America film. Given that this is an origins film, it's no surprise that Stark's father has a younger role than many would expect. As the cast list grows, I get more excited about this film...
That's all from me today. If you have any news to share or add, leave a comment and I'll post it up tomorrow!
I like the idea of Andy Serkis as Caesar - and look forward to the new film if it comes - now that Charlton Heston is dead and gone (and no longer has his gun) the films can i=only get better- but I do have very fond memories of Roddy McDowell :D
ReplyDeletealso- not so sure about JD as the Dr - I'm worried he might be a bit toooooooo American?? or is it just my prejudices??
ReplyDeleteBut as an American reboot, it'd have to appeal to the mass-American market by using a big american name...assuming JD really has signed on for it.
ReplyDeleteAs for Apes, I was glad that Charlton heston only appeared in 2 of the original films, with the best films in the series having much better actors, and less focus on Mr Heston and his gun.
Paranormal Activity.... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a piece of crap, and now they're making a second one. Might as well off myself now.
ReplyDeleteHey, do that and you could make an appearance in the inevitable THIRD film!
