TOTAL RECALL GETS THE REBOOT AND A DIRECTOR
Len Wiseman, who is best known for the first two Underworld films as well as Live Free or Die Hard, will be remaking the 80's classic, Total Recall.

I like Wiseman. I think his action movies are a lot better than most the crap getting released these days, but he still has room to get even better.

Am I thrilled about a remake to Total Recall, no. It seems like every movie Arnold has been in has got or is getting a remake, or they want him making a cameo in something. If it does have to get made, then I'm glad it is Wisman. Looks like that Gears of War movie will never happen though.









LOOK AT ME, TO YOUR MOVIE, NOW BACK AT ME....I AM NOW A MOVIE STAR
Old Spice guy, Isaiah Mustafa, has landed a small role in Horrible Bosses. The film stars Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx and the oh so beautiful Julie Bowen, who if your not familiar with, you need to get familiar with.

Mustafa also said recently that he would love to play Marvel Comics hero, Luke Cage. I could dig that.










FEY AND STREEP TEAM UP FOR NEW FILM
Tina Fey and Meryl Streep have signed on for the comedy, Mommy and Me. The two will play mother and daughter and I suppose focus on some sort of odd, goofy relationship between the two. Stanley Tucci is directing.

I love Fey and I actually am really fond of Streep as well. I don't believe Fey is writing this, but I will still be keeping up on this project.








DEL TORO ANNOUNCES NEXT FILM
Everyone it seems Guillermo del Toro. There has been many projects he has been attached to and many he is very passionate about pursuing. He announced at ComicCon that he will be remaking Haunted Mansion, but first it seems he will finally be making his long time wish list film, Mountains of Madness. But guess who is producing......James Cameron and he is bringing his 3D technology with him. Mountains of Madness is about a geologist who leads an Antarctic expedition and finds a huge chain of mountains, and on the other side, they find the remains of ancient uncharted life forms.

The synopsis is a little bland, but del Toro is a mastermind when it comes to horror and imaginative creatures. Here is what he has to say on the film:

"What 'Mountains of Madness' is is a throwback to something nobody does anymore, it's tentpole horror," he told us. "Everybody now understands horror as minimum investment, maximum return, and most of the time, they go at it, as production entities, with great cynicism, like 'Let's make it really gory or extreme' and for a very low budget, and recuperate our investment, make money, all that. If you make a horror movie for half a million and it makes 4, they're very happy. The studio sees horror movies as something they will not invest more than $30-40 million. 'Mountains of Madness' needs to be tentpole in the way that the tentpole movies of the past were, about $130 million."

Anyone who reads my stuff, knows how much I hate how absolutely no effort is put into films anymore. This guy is passionate about anything he does. This kind of film will look great in Cameron's 3D.







LINDELOF REWRITING ALIEN PREQUEL
While the Alien prequel Ridley Scott is working on is still a few years away, the writing process is hard at work. Lost writer, Damon Lindelof has been brought on to do some rewriting of the film.

I love Lost, it is one of the greatest shows of all time. I certainly won't turn my nose to a Ridley Scott Alien film written by Damon Lindelof.
