Heres all the flicks in the making people.
Movies in the works:
King Conan: Crown of Iron:
--This movie is dead until further notice. With a lot of work already put into this project don’t be surprised if a Conan remake appears with a Eric Sorbo (Tvs Hercules) type actor. THE HORROR.
The Chronicles of Riddic (pitch black 2)
The first of a trilogy starring vin deisal as riddic. Essentially pitch black plays the role of “The hobbit” as the precursor to a mighty trilogy. Filming is done and will release next year. Kieth david will return as the nice muslum man.
Van Helsing:
This is made by the same guy who made the mummy. It stars Hugh Jackman (wolverine) hunting Dracula, Frankenstein, and the wolf man. I have no idea what to expect here.
Troy:
This is a new take on the old Helen of Troi story. Where Greece battles Troi in a huge war. They have sortof merged the story with mythology as Brad pitt plays the Hero Achilles. Other heroes appear such as Ajax, Agaamemnon, and Odysseus. Cool actors play all these guys. This story always confused me as to its validity. There is historic refernces to this and there is Homer’s story. The movie is directed Wolfgang Peterson, an old and solid director who is good IMO opinion but has never been great. Plus hes never done anything of this magnitude. It could be awesome or very bad. I have hopes.
Spiderman 2:
--This movies coming soon with spidy facing Doc Octupus. They have a crappy actor playing doc octopus but the same creative team from the first movie is making this one so it should be more of the same. Which is Good I guess.
Blade 3:
In the making. They are incorporating Blades allies from the coming series Nightstalkers. So the ancient good vampire Hannibul King will join blade to fight the apocalypse of the vampire. Could be desent but the villian will be a Dracula decendant or who they may actually call Dracula. That might not be too good.
Alien vs. Predator:
This movie is being made. It takes place before all the alien movies as it is in present day earth where we dig up a crashed alien ship in Antarctica where all alien space crafts crash. Then of course the predater swing in for some action. This movie is being made by same guy who made Mortal combat and Resident evil. Hes not completely useless but hes not great. This movie could go either way. They have shit actors except for lance Hendrickson who of course played the android Bishop. He will play an evil millionair named James Weyland. The model for the android in the far future. This is cool continuity as the name of the company that created the outpost colony in Aliens was the Weyland-Yutani corporation.
Batman 5: (Working Title Batman: Intimidation Game)
This movie is being made with Christian Bhale as batman. He is the guy from Equilibrium, that dragon movie, and American Pscho. Hes cool shit but I don’t know if hes batman. However Mike Keaton was a surprise so maybe this guy will be good shit. They could have done a lot worse. More Big Name actors are being sought for the other roles. This movie being made by same guy who made Momento and Insomnia. Hes got skill but still not proven. The script writer is good shit though so this movie has potential. Having made all the popular Batman stories the franchise now moves into the very lesser known stories of Batman. Which is great. The villains for this one will be the scarecrow and Ghul, Ghul is a evil millionaire who has used his power to remain alive for hundreds of years through all kinds of means. There are rumors the joker may also play a small role. This movie may take place with a younger version of Batman as he has just started and will hold loose continuity with the other films. I expect an entirely different approach here and could be great or silly. But definatly different.
X-Men 3:
This movie is in oblivon. Which sucks because they ended the second one in mid story sortof with Jean Grey dying. Though this was no doubt the prelude to the “Dark Phoenix” story arc from the comics. (summary: Jean Grey becomes host to some spuer powerful mental being). The cool ass director as well as the best actors Hugh Jackman (wolverine), and Ian Mccellan (Magneto). Are not signed. Halle Berre has also declared herself too big to be in these movies but that’s no big lose as Storm aint a damn mutant anyway. So it don’t look good. If it don’t happen soon I imagine they will grind the next sequel out as a second rate piece of shit with crap actors. Atleast they wont have to change Cyclops. One thing they promise is Beast will join the X-men in next movie were Gambit will not.
Indiana Jones 4:
Everyone is signed on and it is a go. However Lucas is out of the picture. He wrote the first 3 ones and no doubt held creative stray on them aswell. But Spielberg has gone on without him I’m sure with his blessing. The script is written by Frank Darabont, and hes very good (shawshank redemption, green mile)plus hes a disiple of Lucas. Which leads me to believe Frank wrote a script and lucas fixed it up but left the credit entirely to frank. All the characters from the earlier movies will appear including sean Connery if hes not dead. Should be good.
Fantastic Four:
There is a tremendous magical force driving Hollywood to make this film even though no one wants any part of it. As of now the worst directors in holywood have past on the project but its still going forward. Expect a complete piece of garbage.
The Transformers:
That’s right baby, live action ya’ll. Straight out of hand. With The Hulk and The Matrix movies now nothing is unaccomplishable with special effects. All you need is a little energon and a lot of Luck. Many factors have contributed to this. The massive trend and success of Comic book movies, the insane phenomenon of Transformers which continues to this day with 2 current american TV shows and 4 current american toy lines plus mad jap stuff. In addition Robots are always cool. And of course 80’s nastalgia. Michael Bay was interested in the project but left. Now Robert Zemeckis (Back to the furture, forrest gump) is looking at it. These are big name guys. I don’t know what kind of budget it will end up with but it could be terrible or dare I say. GREAAAATTTTT.
Inglorius Basterds:
Basically the old dirty dozen story done by Quentin Tarentino. No big actors yet. Though I imagine it will be something like Michael Madsden, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, and Samuel L. Jackson.\
Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse
Same exact team as first movie and continues story. If you liked the first you should like the second. I expect I will.
Lord of the rings 3:
Everyone knows the deal here
Star wars 3:
Everyone knows the deal here though you might not know that Chewbacca is all up in there. Original actor and all. Go Chewy. Also it has been revealed that the climatic battle at end will be between anikan and Obi wan and is promised to be the greatest JedI battle ever seen. Note that Lucas’s security has failed him and there is large amount of spoiler information out there on this film. Don’t ruin it for yourself.
Mission Impossible 3:
This movie will be made and tom cruise has selected some novice director whom he likes for unknown reasons to direct it.
Mad Max 4: Fury Road
The guy who made the originals mad it big in america for the second time with the enormous success of the Babe the pig movies. This is not a joke, these movies made cream. Then he decided it was time for a Mad Max sequel. Knowing he could not get mel gibson he slated a movie to be made for 14 million and got ready to shoot it. Then out of No where mel Gibson shows up and says “Hey, you made my career, I’m gonna roll with you till the wheels fall off”. So he got Mel gibson but Universal did not want to pay the big money. Then Fox came in and said hey “Heres 100 million dollars, go make a bad ass movie”. So it was on and shit was correct. And then stupid mel gibson got cleared to make his dream project where he would direct a movie in Hebrew language about Jesus. MY GOD MAN THE INSANITY. So the movie is on hold but Mel’s Jesus movie is nearly done and me thinks he will be making Mad Max soon. Lets hope.
Dragons Lair
A super animation movie similar to Titan AE and made by same folks. About an adventure hunting a dragon.
King Author
This is a Jerry Bruckheimer extravaganza. It has a great director but no real actors. I have no idea what to expect from this.
