SAM RAIMI TO DIRECT WORLD OF WARCRAFT
I like video games and will admit to being a nerd to some extent, but I have never been nerd enough to try and play World of Warcraft. If I did I probably would get sucked in and never leave the house. But it's good to hear that Sam Raimi will be directing this. Fanboys wouldn't want just anyone taking there beloved game and/or life to the big screen. Raimi will begin on Warcraft once Spider-Man 4 is complete.


SAM WORTHINGTON IN THE CANDIDATE
I really think that Sam Worthington will end up being a huge star within two years. He did very well in Terminator Salvation, he stars in James Cameron's Avatar this winter which sounds like it's going to be the biggest movie ever made from everything I'm hearing about it, and he is currently filming a remake to Clash of the Titans which has released some pretty cool set photos recently. Worthington's next project however will not be a blockbuster, but a mystery/thriller. The Candidate is about an aspiring lawyer (Worthington) who wakes up in a hotel with little memory of the woman he met the night before and finds out that.........you guessed it, she's dead in the bathroom. Try and guess the rest. You got it, he's blackmailed and runs around trying to clear his name and uncovers a conspiracy that leads back to his fathers own death. This would sound interesting to me, IF I HADN'T SEEN THIS SAME MOVIE 5 OTHER TIMES IN THE LAST TEN YEARS!


THE STRANGERS 2 IN THE WORKS
There isn't a lot of info about the movie yet, or if Liv Tyler will be back in the sequel, I'm guessing not. The only news on it, is that it starts filming in September, Bryan Bertino, who directed the first one, is not returning. Instead, a guy named Laurent Briet who is a music video director is taking over, which means this will probably be crap now. The plot is rumored to take place in a trailer park, so there will probably be multiple victims in this one. I liked the first movie, but I really don't see why we need a second, I mean there could be ten Strangers movies, just a different family and a different house for each one. We have all seen what happens when they take the same plot and use it over and over again......Saw franchise anyone????
