Headlines






ENTOURAGE: THE MOVIE?
Mark Whalberg, who is an executive producer of Entourage recently said, that the plan was to do two more seasons, possibly more, then a movie afterward.

I'm a huge fan of Entourage, so I will definitely go see it, but what could they possibly do an Entourage movie about. I think a good idea would to have terrorists kidnap the gang and then Ari and Lloyd are sent in to kill EVERYONE.




LAUTNER AS MAX STEEL
Taylor Lautner is getting his named tossed around for the upcoming Max Steel film after the success of New Moon. Max Steel is an action figure that was released in the late 90's early 2000's who also had an animated television show.

Lautner would be perfect for the role. Steel is supposed to be a young latino extreme sporter turned spy. Of course, this movie shouldn't be allowed to get made and after seeing his performance in New Moon it will end up being be more like extreme sporter turned bi.



GREENGRASS EXITS BOARD FRANCHISE
This is news I'm a little late on reporting, but Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum director Paul Greengrass has taken his name off the directors list for the next Bourne film. Not only that, but Matt Damon said in an interview recently that if Greengrass doesn't film it, he's not doing it. He went on to say that he believes Greengrass will eventually do it and then he will be on board.

The Bourne movies to me are just ok. They are a good one time watch and nothing more. I don't really know how long they can stretch these films, but they make a ton of money.



DETAILS ON NEXT JACK RYAN FILM
Chris Pine landed the role as the next Jack Ryan a few months back. Jack Ryan is the main character from a number of Tom Clancy novels including; The Hunt For Red October, Clear and Present Danger and The Sum of All Fears. Today it was reported that the new Ryan film will be an original screenplay and not based off of a Clancy novel. The report said that it will pick up with Ryan on Wall Street.

I'm not sure what "picking him up on Wall Street" means, but I'm not a big fan of them not doing a film based off a novel. It could be a really good screenplay, but I would rather them stick with the material that they already have.
