Illiteration, you gotta love it.
On with the news!
Robert Rodriguez For Deadpool?
Rumours have been circulating for a while now as to who will be directing the Deadpool movie. Robert Rodriguez was one of the possibilities, and we now appear to be getting word that he is in talks with Fox about the project.
Whilst this isn't official confirmation, The LA Times report:
“After a few weeks of dancing, Rodriguez and studio Fox are negotiating. There's no deal yet, and the sides need to agree on a number of key points, but it's moved beyond the casual discussion stage and into the more substantive realm of deal points.”
So it's all sounding hopeful. Rodriguez is good at action, and he's good at slightly over the top quirkiness...which is basically what Deadpool is all about.
What do you guys think?

Devil
The next M. Night Shyamalan film, thankfully not actually directed by Shyamalan, is an interesting horror film that centres on a group of people stuck in a lift as everything goes wrong.
The lights flicker, and somebody has been bitten and is bleeding...but who was it? As the film progresses, things get steadily more violent and creepy.
Here's the trailer:
It's looking quite interesting if you ask me, mixing the scares of being trapped in an enclosed space, with a horror/fantasy theme.
Dead Space: The Movie
Dead Space is part Event Horizon, Part Aliens, and part messed up hybrid of Warren Ellis and Ben Templesmith's dreams, so it's no surprise that the license to the universe was bought up quickly for a film.
The film was announced a fair amount of time ago, but all news has quickly gone silent. Not so now, Director DJ Caruso has spoken to MTV Moviesblog about where they're at with the film.
"The cool thing about 'Dead Space' is we've had a few offers to set it up. Once I started ['I Am Number Four'] and [producer] Wyck Godfrey and all those other guys got really busy on the 'Twilight' movies because they're kicking butt over there, so we're gonna get back and talk about it [once everyone's time frees up].
We've got a really good sort of storyline, it's almost a prequel, sort of, to where the game picks up."
So, that all sounds interesting. I'm loving that they're not trying to base it on the main games, just within the same Universe. It sounds like it'd be like Downfall but...you know, better.
This could be one of the first truly great VideoGame to Movie adaptations.

Fable 3
Finally, something more substantial than screenshots and a tiny bit of gameplay. Storyline stuffs!
As you can see, the latest trailer for Fable 3 is, apparently, the opening cinematic for the full game. It's not particularly long until the game gets released to the public, so it's no surprise to be seeing this.
Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark
This would be the "Dead Scary" part of the title, as this film looks awesome.
A horror film by Guillermo Del Toro, the master of creepiness and fantasy, the man behind Hellboy 1&2, Pans Labyrinth, and many more. I'm very much looking forward to this one.
Behind The Scenes: Transformers 3
Here's a fairly lengthy look at a new action sequence for Transofmers 3. We get to watch Shia Lebouf and others running around destroyed streets, shooting up towards a Decepticon that isn't actually there yet.
It's all looking fairly...like a Michael Bay film, to be honest. Explosions, running, etc.
Anyway, that's it for me today.
Spread the word about the blog, and come back tomorrow for more!
I prefer ''The Devil's Advocate" sort of Satan. It works much better than when Satan's portrayed as an animal. And DA was much smarter in the twist, characterisation and development of Satan as a human business-man.
ReplyDeleteDevil doesn't always mean Satan ;)
ReplyDeleteThe "Devil" in the title could just be refering to a devilish person or being. Though, I suppose the fact that it's written by Shyamalan...
Devil and Don't Be Afraid look like a lot of fun if you ask me XD
