DIE HARD 5 TO BE SHOT NEXT YEAR???
While doing his press for Cop Out, Bruce Willis just came out and announced that there are plans to shoot Die Hard 5 next year. He also said that he would hire Len Wiseman on the spot and that films needs to go worldwide with this one. Very exciting news for me because I am a huge Die Hard fan.

I was very pleased with the last film and my only complaint was that I felt they took away from McClane's character by making it a PG-13. Any fan of the franchise knows that McClane is a foul mouthed hilarious character. I think they should go back to the "R" rating and bring back Len Wisman.

Now some of you have heard this before but I'm going to go ahead and share my dream for Die Hard 5. The title will be "Die Hard with a Lethal Weapon". This will be the fifth and final film for both the Die Hard and Lethal Weapon franchises. McClane, Riggs and Murtaugh have all been invited to Las Vegas for a retirement ceremony for officers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Each officer gets introduced by someone of their choice. Riggs and Murtaugh will be introduced by Chris Rock's character Butters and by this time, Justin Long's character Farrell will have become an officer with the IT unit and will introduce McClane, which will be good cause he can help with computer hacking and all that stuff.

The awards ceremony will take place in a major casino. And of course, that casino will be the target of a terrorist group that will be robbing it the same night of the ceremony. Leaving it up to them to stop. I like Ralph Fines as the villain. Now obviously McClane and Murtaugh will have to say their classic lines, I picture it happening right when the terrorists attack and Murtaugh and McClane meet for the first time probably crouched behind a flipped over poker table. Murtaugh looks over at McClane and says "I'm way to old for this s#%$", and McClane looks at him grinning and simply replies "Yippie-Ki-Ya, mother f*%@#$!". Work in a few cameos from both franchises and you have yourself the biggest movie of the summer hands down.



ZOOLANDER 2 FINALLY HAPPENING
For years there has been talk o doing another Zoolander film. Today it seems that the wait is over. Justin Theroux who wrote Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2 is set to direct. There is no word on whether Owen Wilson will return as Hansel or not, but it is reported that Jonah Hill will be playing the villain in this film.

Awesome news here!!! I think that Zoolander really blew up after it was released to dvd which should make the sequel a big hit in theatres. Definitely need Wilson to come back as Hansel and I think it would be hilarious to have Christopher Walked play an older washed up model much like David Duchovney's character was in the first.

















FIVE FINALISTS FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA LESS THAN APPEALING
Reports are that John Krasinski, Michael Cassidy, Patrick Fluger, Scott Porter, Mike Vogel and Chace Crawford are the five finalists to play Captain America. Really??? This is the best list people can come up with??? I would like to see Krasinski get the role. He is a good actor and I think it would be good for him so he could get out of the typecast of Jim from The Office. Other than Krasinski the only other one I would even consider would be Michael Cassidy. I would rather them go after someone a little more established like Chris Pine but I'm not holding my breathe on this film anymore anyway.



MAN OF STEEL HAS A WRITER
Batman Begins and Dark Knight writer David S. Goyer will be writting the new Superman film titled "Man of Steel". This is no surprise since Christopher Nolan will be "mentoring" the film. The site says that Brandon Routh will not be back as Superman, the villain will be both Lex Luthor and Brainiac, Bryan Singer doesn't appear to be directing this one and that Nic Cage will NOT be Superman.

I think it is a huge mistake not bringing Routh back. The guy was perfect as Clark Kent. It's not his fault the film was a flop in the studio's eyes. I like Routh and I think he is the one who got the shaft out of all this. As for Kevin Spacey returning as Lex Luthor, I'm good either way. He is my favorite actor, but I didn't really buy him as Luthor. If this one doesn't perform well, I think Warner Bros. should just leave this franchise dead.



GALIFANAKIS TO WORK MIRACLES
Zach Galifanakis has signed on to star in Miracle Workers. The film is about Galifanakis's character who is put on a path that has him posing as an exorcist with a pal. The two think they've got a good thing going until they're faced with a real menace.

I hope that what has happened to Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, and is starting to happen to Seth Rogen happens to Zach Galafinakis. All these guys had a big movie, started getting movie offers and did the same movie over and over. People get tired of seeing the same thing over and over and they begin to get old quick. Zalifanakis has been around for a long time and has kept a low profile. I hope he picks films wisely and doesn't wear us out with the same routine.
