HEADLINES



POSSIBLE HANCOCK SEQUEL
Director Peter Berg recently mentioned in an interview that a sequel to Hancock could be in the works. In the movie Will Smith plays a god, Berg said there could be some other gods still left on earth. I didn't love Hancock, but when I went back and watched it again I liked it better. This has the potential to be a good franchise it just needs a few adjustments.



ROSARIO DAWSON JOINS UNSTOPPABLE
Denzel Washington and Chris Pine have found their leading lady for the film Unstoppable. The movie is about a runaway train containing toxic chemicals that is headed for a nearby town.



REDFORD TO DIRECT LINCOLN FILM
Robert Redford is set to direct The Conspirator, which is about Marry Surratt who was an alleged conspirator of the Lincoln assassination. Spielberg has also thrown around a Lincoln movie for a few years now and Liam Neeson was set to play Lincoln.



WHITE CHICKS 2?
Apparently and unfortunately it is happening. Horrible idea, moving on.



IS EXPENDABLES GOING TO BE GREAT OR HORRIBLE?
Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables has just about every action star of the past twenty years either starring or making cameos in it. Bruce Willis is the latest to join the film as a cameo. The premise of the film is that a mercenary team heads to South America to overthrow a dictator. The cast so far includes Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, and my main man Arnold Shwarzenneger along with many others. This has potential to be one of the greatest action films of all time, or be a star studded mess.



SPIDER-MAN 5 AND 6 WRITER HIRED
James Vanderbilt has been hired to do the fifth and sixth Spider-Man films. These films will be a continuation story. This is when Venom should have come in at because you could have put the Sandman in there with Venom slowly building and we could have seen more Sembiote Spider-Man and then in the sixth movie could have been all about Venom. However, what worries me is that Vanerbilt was hired to write the fourth one and Sam Raimi wasn't happy with it and has had the script rewritten twice since Vanderbilt's draft.



WHIPLASH CONCEPT ART
We have seen the picture of Whiplash at the racetrack which seems to be his prototype and now some concept art has been released of what the full suit might look like.











DIRTY DANCING REMAKE
I believe that in the next ten years almost all of the 70's and 80's films will have been remade. I know that Dirty Dancing has a huge fan base with women, but the sequel sucked and bombed, so why even bother. Hollywood please bring original ideas back to the big screen.
