It looks as if Ryan Gosling wants to expand his super hero portfolio. Not only has he been the younger version of Hercules, but it’s possible that he will dawn the emerald colored costume of The Green Lantern in a future film.
Latino Review.com reports:
“You know who the studio wants to wear Abin Sur’s ring and take up the mantle of The Green Lantern?
From my trusted source within the WB, I’m hearing… RYAN GOSLING
Mind you, I don’t know if an offer has been made, and if WB is into it now with Ryan’s people, but once again Gosling is who I’m hearing the WB wants for Hal Jordan.”
So will DC be following in the footsteps of Marvel with a JLA movie? Hard to say, but in this monumental boom of hero hype, anything’s possible.
To continue the flagrant misuse of movie titles, The Unborn will “exorcise” the country this January.
This looks like it could go one of two ways. It will either satisfy my fascination with the supernatural, or will be just another garbled mess of pre-existing psycho-thrillers.
The mid to late 90’s was a great time in professional wrestling. Three organizations were duking it out to be supreme in extreme. We had Monday Night Raw with the WWF (the true name of the company), Monday Night Nitro with WCW, and ECW on Friday nights. It was the age of edgy, when being a douche like the guys of DX was the hip thing. None could compete with ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling to you wuss bags) when it came to being hard-core, giving us more blood than TV would allow. The sport was so huge, that Hollywood studios started making movies with some of the wrestlers. Who doesn’t remember Terry “Hulk” Hogan battling Zeus in No Holds Bared? One of these films happened to be on the tube last night. It was just what Vince Mcmahon needed to firmly clench his greasy fingers around the throat of the wrestling world. WCW’s very own: Ready To Rumble.
Ah 1991. A time when movies didn’t suck, hair metal was being thwarted by grunge, and cartoons we more offensive then ever before. One toon was stood above all when it came to sheer disturbance. It portrayed the outlandish adventures of a beyond stupid feline, and an asthma hound chihuahua with severe anger issues. If you haven’t figured it out by now, then you’re either far too young, or were disgusted by the show. Here for your viewing pleasure, I present this week’s Animated Asshole…..Ren Hoek.
Zach over at Television Without Pity has written an enormous, comprehensive description of the 30 minutes of Watchmen screened for people more important than us. It’s pretty damn long, but worth the read. Grab a Diet Pepsi Max, some chips, and read it here.
The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life, and poisons the earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth and kill!
Fresh out of the Tokyo Game Show, Bungie has finally announced what all those teaser trailers were hinting at; Halo 3 Recon. Pumped? I am. You won’t be playing as Spartan 117, but rather as a UNSC Marine with the story taking place prior to that of Halo 3. Four player co-op is confirmed, and all new multiplayer content will be there to accompany you through your 2009 holiday season.
Looking forward to this game, because I’m a freak for anything Halo related. Except the books, eff that. It’s going to feel a little odd if the Marine is as strong, can jump as high, and is as accurate as Chief for obvious reasons, but the gameplay is what its all about.
In case you haven’t heard, Broadway producer Julie Taymor (The Lion King) is currently developing a Broadway Musical of Spider Man. The NY Post revealed today that the production will cost $40 million; the most expensive production in theater history. But Taymor says she may try to get it down to $35 million. Oh, good.
If – and it’s a big “if” where Julie The Lion Taymor is concerned – they do bring it in for $35 million, “Spider-Man,” with a weekly running cost of $1 million, will have to run about 8,000 years in a Broadway theater just to break even.
“It’s off the charts,” one source says. “Off the charts.”
The musical has a rock score by Bono (quite a good score, I’m told; the messy book is another matter) and is being produced by Sony, Marvel Comics and David Garfinkle, a lawyer who managed to get control of the musical after its original producer, the much-missed Tony Adams, died of a heart attack three years ago.
Okay True Believers, getting to see choreographed dance numbers with the Green Goblin and Bonesaw sounds kind of mind-blowing, but my mind keeps going “Bono. Bono. Bono. Bono. Bono. Bono.”
Two huge nerds from Home Imagineers, who also happen to be wealthy, built their very own home theater inspired by Palpatine’s office from the Prequels. Because they can.
What to use as inspiration didn’t take much thought. Simon loved the red colors of Palpatine’s majestic office, the futuristic sconces and above all, the backdrop of a detailed capital city. So there was the plan: Simon’s theater would be red, with identical sconces and ringed by windows showing the capital city. “I love the fact that there’s a futuristic city in the backdrop. That’s the place where you get to see most of the city,” Simon says.
“I love the fact that there’s a futuristic city in the backdrop. That’s the place where you get to see most of the city,” Simon says. Simon is pretty proud of himself. Simon can do anything he wants and no one will stop Simon. Simon wishes to watch a motion picture now. Away!
