You all have a good weekend? I managed to nab myself a few good deals on Saturday...but lets get on with the show shall we?
The Boys: Rated R
The Boys is a very adult comic, filled with all sorts of bodily functions gooping over other people...but that's not the only reason it's adult, it deals with a lot of similar issues to The Watchmen, and this is the reason why people were getting worried about a film adaptation.
With Adam McKay (Director of Anchorman) taking the helm, would the film live up to the standards of the comic?
“It doesn’t work unless it’s R," McKay reassured The Collider,describing the film as a “current day Watchmen."
Well, that sorts that out. It's nice to see Film Studios paying attention to the properties they base their films on.
Ghost Rider 2
Shockingly, Sony have confirmed that Ghost Rider 2 is now in the works.
They were facing a looming deadline, with the license to the film getting ready to switch back to Marvel (and thus, Disney) if they didn't use it again soon.
Whilst this would have been preferable for Marvel fans all over the world, it would have meant Sony loosing the license forever.
Nicholas Cage has confirmed he can re-take the role, despite also starring in National Treasure 3, meaning Ghost Rider 2 can get the go ahead.
Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance is likely to appear late 2011, early 2012.
Bond Is Back...Kind Of
Despite the major financial troubles with MGM, and the supposed death of the Bond series (which have apparently been greatly exaggerated), Bond fans can now look forward to a new interactive adventure.
The new game, written by Bruce Feirstein (Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, & The World Is Not Enough), will feature Daniel Craig as Bond, Judi Dench as M, and Joss Stone as the latest Bond Girl. Joss Stone is also reportedly doing the soundtrack for the game.
The game is described as an:
"explosive third-person action adventure where players will unravel an international conspiracy across exotic locales [with] full-throttle, behind-the-wheel action on land and sea, and the most high tech gadgetry known to James Bond 007, the world's most skilled secret agent."
For those not interested in the game, there is also a new book on the way, written by Jeffery Deaver.
Thanks to Kotaku and Empire for the news.
Simon Pegg On Mission: Impossible - 4
According the The Hollywood Reporter, Simon Pegg is in talks to re-appear as Benji the Technician in Mission: Impossible - 4.
After the apparent flop of Knight & Day, Cruise is interested in reprising the role of Ethan Hunt and taking a step towards creating a new life for the series. In the style of Crystal Skull, Ethan Hunt is likely to be training a new person to take his role in the future films.
The latest installment is being produced by Cruise, Paul Wagner, and JJ Abrams, with the screenplay written by Andre Nemec and Josh Appelbaum.
Zack Snyder;s Sucker Punch
Another image taken from Entertainment Weekly, the first ever shot of Zack Snyder's next film "Sucker Punch."
The above image was edited by the guys over at JoBlo, with the original writing that came with it saying to expect "dragons, zombie soldiers, steampunk sci-fi and monolithic mecca."
Which sounds interesting...
More Thor!
Another new image from upcoming Marvel epic "Thor" showing off the Hall of Asgard.
"It comes courtesy of the LA Times, and shows Odin (Anthony Hopkins) with his wilful son Thor (Chris Hemsworth) kneeling before him.
Meanwhile, evil brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Queen of Asgard Frigga (Rene Russo) and Hogun the Grim (Tadanobu Asano) all stand off to either side."
