TWO MORE TERMINATORS FOR MCG?
In a blu-ray live chat, director McG said that he will still be doing the fifth and sixth installments of the franchise. He said that in the next installment, he would like to bring Robert Patrick back as a scientist who comes up with the model for the T-100. This all sounds good on paper, but the rights to the franchise are going up for auction. Halycon currently owns the rights and has a chance to maintain them, but if someone else were to get them, they have the right to choose whoever they want.

I hope he does at least one more film. I'm not going to beat this dead horse since there has been a lot of news on this recently, but I think he will learn from the mistakes of Salvation and make a great sixth film.



RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE PUSHED BACK
Due to the extra post-production time shooting a film in 3D requires,Resident Evil: Afterlife has been pushed back to January 2011. The film will now be going up against Joss Whedon's horror film, Cabin in the Woods, which is also being shot in 3D.

I'm not happy about the way this franchise has turned out. I think the games had great stories and if they would had followed the story lines of the games that the franchise would have turned out a lot better. With that being said, the films always make good money, I just don't think they live up to their potential, like most adapted video game films.



ANOTHER VAMPIRE MOVIE
Summit Entertainment, the kind people who brought Twilight to the big screen, is now working on a new vampire film titled "Vlad". Vlad centers on Dracula as a young prince; he is known to history as Vlad the Impaler, the man behind the Dracula myth. Bradd Pitt is producing the film and music video and photographer Anthony Mandler is in talks to direct.

ENOUGH WITH THE VAMPIRE CRAP!!!! I'm so sick of Twilight, True Blood, Vampire Diaries and all of these other vampire films that are coming out in the next two years. Why does Hollywood have to take everything that is remotely successful and then run it ten miles in the ground? This doesn't sound good at all, especially with a music video photographer in talks to direct.



GIBSON DIRECTING NEW FILM
Mexico governor Fidel Herrera says Mel Gibson will make a movie at a prison in the Gulf coast state next year. There were no details given of what the film's plot may be.

I like any film Gibson makes so I will be looking forward to hearing more from this. I use to like Gibson, but after the way he has acted the past couples of years, I've really been turned off of him.



DUMB MOVIE IDEA OF THE WEEK AWARD
It's only Monday, and I just read a synopsis for a movie so stupid sounding, I think it will top anything I read for the rest of the week. TMU Pictures is developing a film titled "War Birds". The film follows an Air Force veteran-turned-reckless airshow re-enactment pilot as he gets pulled into the underground culture of illegal, real-life aerial combat.

What is the first rule about War Birds? You do not talk about War Birds. This sounds completely stupid and totally unrealistic. Are you meaning to tell me that people are really going to buy into the idea that there is a secret underground aerial combat club? I already see Jason Statham signing on for this film.



BLACK TO DO ANOTHER ANIMATED FILM
Jack Black is developing a new animated film revolving around "cryptozoology," the study of creatures who seemingly don't exist (like the Lochness Monster, Bigfoot, Chupacabra, etc.). He will also produce and voice the film.

This could be a fun idea, or it could be stupid. I liked Kung Fu Panda, but I'm getting a little tired of Jack Black.
