A third x-file movie has been teased and discussed for years. Creator Chris Carter and the lead actors have all expressed excited interest in returning for another movie. Carter has an idea for it that would possibly involve alien colonization. There’s no confirmation on whether that is still the plan though. You can read more about that here. 20th Century Fox just needs to give the project a go!During a recent Reddit AMA with Anderson regarding her novel “A Vision of Fire,” Anderson was asked if there has been any progress on the third X-Files film. She gave a very cryptic and teasing answer.

“Uh….uh… uh… Sorta kinda. Keep your ears to the ground.”

It’s not really definitive proof that the movie is happening, but it could mean that we will be hearing something about it soon. I really do hope that something is happening with this franchise because a third film needs to exist. I’d be the happiest guy in the world if it happens.

Then at one point during the Q&A session Gillian was also asked if she would consider joining the all-female cast in director Paul Feig‘s Ghostbusters reboot and she replied,

“OH MY GOD, I just looked it up online. Paul Feig, cast me now! Start a Twitter petition! I’m free!!!!! I’m free I’m free and I’m funny, goddamnit! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!”

Never a fan of the x-files  and i am not  really in favor of a  female cast ghostbusters  but  maybe witht he right  cast it  can work… who knows!

Jim Henson Company Is Developing a LABYRINTH Sequel

Buried in a recent report at Variety about Billy Crystal joining the Jim Henson Company’s production of a movie called Which Witch? is an even more awesomely interesting piece of news.

At the end of the article they list several movies they are currently working on, and those include Fraggle Rock; a sequel to 1982’s The Dark Crystal; a movie based on the Emmet Otter character, and a sequel to 1986’s Labyrinth. This is the first time I’ve heard about a Labyrinth sequel. There were no other details revealed, but it’s exciting to know that it’s in the works.

As for the project that Crystal will be working on, it’s based on a 1979 book by Eva Ibbotson, the story of which follows a wizard who holds a contest among the seven witches to determine which witch one he will marry. The actor said,

“When Brian Henson called me about it, I didn’t know the book. But it’s a fantastic story, and I brought in a wonderful writer, Michael Feldman, and we’ve written a terrific and inventive script. I’ll play a character as well, which will be great fun because he actually has two eyes.”

It’s great to see that the gears are turning over at the Jim Henson Company and that we’ll start seeing more movies from them. Their most recent film is the live-action family comedy, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, which comes out this weekend. That movie was actually surprisingly really enjoyable.

How Involved Arnold Schwarzenegger Will Be In The Terminator Franchise

How Involved Arnold Schwarzenegger Will Be In The Terminator Franchise imageJai Courtney has all-but confirmed that Arnold Schwarzenegger will play a part in the second and third instalments to the upcoming new Terminator trilogy. Schwarzenegger was already confirmed for Terminator: Genisys, but it hadn’t yet been revealed that the 67-year-old actor/politician/bodybuilder will be sticking around for the future additions to the beloved sci-fi series too.

Courtney made the revelation during a discussion with The Arnold Fans, the online shrine to all things Schwarzenegger, which is a must-visit site for anyone with even a passing interest in Arnie. Courtney was there to promote his upcoming film, Unbroken, but as you’d imagine the conversation soon turned to Terminator. At first he was asked about a possible start-date for the next two Terminator films, before the question was then elongated to include, “Will Arnold be in the sequels in some capacity?” and “Can there be a successful Terminator film without Arnold?” Courtney then gave the answer that all Terminator fans wanted to hear …

Hard to imagine a Terminator film without Arnold. I guess we start filming – I think the plan is do the next 2 back to back in 2016.”

Jai Courtney’s declaration is the biggest hint yet that Arnold Schwarzenegger will be a part of the next two installments, as he clearly wouldn’t have questioned a Terminator film without the Austrian legend if his presence in it was still up in the air. Meanwhile, Courtney also indicated that Terminator: Genisys won’t get the adult ratings that the first two efforts of the franchise received, and it will instead be aimed at a PG-13 audience. Of course most of us want to see Genisys be given a hard-R rating that will allow it to rival the intense violence and action of its illustrious 1984 and 1991 predecessors, but in today’s modern movie climate that is just not a viable option.

Terminator: Genisys will see Arnold Schwarzenegger return as the Terminator/T-800, whose human tissue has aged, while Jai Courtney will play Kyle Reese, Emilia Clarke has inherited the role of Sarah Connor, Jason Clarke will portray John Connor. The rest of the cast will be rounded off by Doctor Who’s Matt Smith’s, Lee Byung-hun as the T-1000, Dayo Okeniyi, and J.K. Simmons in a mysterious part. Production on the blockbuster finally drew to a close back in August, and Genisys will hit cinemas on July 1, 2015, while its two sequels are planned for May 19, 2017 and June 29, 2018.

The All-Female GHOSTBUSTERS is a Go!

Posted on by

After all the talk, this one’s officially in the green: Paul Feig will be tackling that third installment of Ghostbusters and, just as earlier rumors assumed, it will be an all-lady affair. Get ready for the sky to crumble, dudes!

Kidding, obviously. Everything will be fine! More than fine, maybe/even! In fact, with Feig on board and The Heat writer Katie Dippold behind the script, surely there will be some funny to be found — even if the three ghost-hunting leads have vaginas instead of penii (which is totally the plural of penis, right?). It happens from time to time, as predicted in the urban legends surrounding funny females that has been passed down from generation to generation. And what with that recent blood moon we just had, surely that was a sign that the gods have called forth three worthy women who ain’t afraid of no ghosts.

And after years of waiting for Bill Murray to agree to suit up, it’s nice to see something finally come out of the long-gestating project — to say nothing of how a new take (rather than a repeat of what’s already been done twice over, cough) might breathe new life into the franchise and bring a whole new audience (and feel) into the world of stoppin’ ghosts. It’s time, America: isn’t it? Does everything have to really be all that sacred that we can’t have a little fun with it?

Not crazy about this,  i think it might of been better just to leave it alone!  what do you think?

1993 CD-ROM game Myst to become a TV series

Posted on by

Variety reported that Legendary Entertainment, the production company behind such films as Godzilla and Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, has struck a deal to develop the 1993 adventure game Myst into a TV series. Although its largely static 3D graphics and slideshow-style navigation may seem quaint now, Myst was a phenomenon in its day. Sparked by widespread adoption of CD-ROM technology, Myst became the best-selling computer game of all time, a record that stood until The Sims surpassed it in 2002.

If you’re not familiar with Myst, you might be wondering why such a big hit hasn’t been optioned for a movie or TV project before now. If you are familiar with Myst, you might be wondering how the hell Legendary will make a TV show out of it. Because the thing about Myst is there aren’t any people around. You do catch glimpses of other characters, mostly through flickering videobook portals to strange realms, but you spend most of your time silently exploring beautiful, abandoned islands and solving the puzzles therein. So unless we’re going to watch a mute hero fiddle with the controls on a rocket ship’s pipe organ for an hour, the creators of this show will have to take a few liberties with the source material. The nature of those liberties remains to be determined, but Variety says that Myst creators Rand and Robyn Miller will be “creatively involved” in the show, potentially with a video game tie-in.

ZOMBIELAND 2 Is Finally Moving Forward

Would you look at that! Sony Pictures is finally ready to move forward with Zombieland 2, and they’ve hired Dave Callaham to write the script. He is the writer who worked on screenplays for The Expendables films and also has a story credit on the most recent Godzilla movie. He will work alongside director Ruben Fleischer, who is expected to return to helm the sequel.

Back in 2013 there was an attempt made to adapt the original film into a series on Amazon, but it completely failed and never got past the pilot episode. It’s one of those things that just didn’t hit with audiences, and it wasn’t vey good. I really enjoyed the first movie, and I think there’s a lot of potential for a great sequel. Hopefully they can come up with another fun story to tell.

There’s no word on whether Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson, or Abigail Breslin would reprise their roles, but it’s be great if they did. I know all their careers have blown up since Zombieland came out, but they could always make room to come back if they wanted.

I AM LEGEND Is Getting Rebooted

Warner Bros. has been trying to figure out a way to get a sequel for I Am Legend off the ground for years. Well, they’ve finally given up on that sequel and they are looking to just reboot the damn thing.

The news comes from Deadline, who says that the franchise reboot will not include Will Smith. The actor doesn’t seem very interested in doing any sequels these days anyway. He’s been dodging that Independence Day sequel for years.

The studio is basically taking an already existing spec script that they acquired earlier this year called A Garden At The End Of The World, and changing it up to fit the I Am Legend story. The script was written by Gary Graham, who worked at the Apple store in midtown Manhattan before his script was picked up.

The original script is described as “a sci-fi version of John Wayne’s The Searchers.” The studio executives and producers felt that there were enough similarities to the themes and mythology of I Am Legend in the script that they asked Graham to redraft the script so that it would fit the franchise.

That’s too bad. I would have much rather seen a movie made based on the original script than have it changed to fit a property that they want to reboot.

Taken 3 Trailer: Still Phoning After All These Years

Brian Mills framed for murder?!

Yes, the first trailer for Taken 3 changes things up a little. Nobody is taken hostage – apart from Mills’ good name. Luckily, this doesn’t prevent the old battleship from kicking all sorts of ass, hopefully including the Academy Award- winning behind of Forest Whitaker who plays the police hound hot on Mills’ heels.

Underworld rebooted!

Posted on by

BUnderworld.jpgefore the Twilight franchise swept the box office, the Underworld series had a monopoly on the cinematic war between vampires and werewolves. Led by Kate Beckinsale, the original 2003 film spawned three sequels—and now it appears the series is getting rebooted.

As The Hollywood Reporter originally reported, the studio behind Underworld, Lakeshore Entertainment, has hired Cory Goodman to pen the reboot’s script. Goodman’s previous work includes the vampire-human war depicted in Priest, as well as the upcoming Vin Diesel film The Last Witch Hunter.

The last film in the series, Underworld: Awakening, debuted in 2012 and went on to become the franchise’s highest earner at the worldwide box office by a wide margin. But despite that recent success, Lakeshore should be sure to choose the reboot’s star wisely: The only Underworld film not to feature Beckinsale, 2009’s Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, finished its run as the worst-performing entry in the franchise.

Wow i cant beleive they want to reboot this  film so soon!  i am  shocked  but lets see where the  new series takes us!

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Reprising SHAUN OF THE DEAD Roles For PHINEAS AND FERB

Simon Pegg announced on Twitter that he and Nick Frost will be reprising their roles from Shaun of the Dead in a Phineas and Ferb Halloween special! How awesome is that? Here’s the tweet:

“Here’s news, @nickjfrost and myself will be once again stepping into Shaun and Ed’s shoes for the #PhineasAndFerb Halloween special. W00t!!”

Phineas and Ferb has had its fair share of annoying episodes, but they do have a handful of really cool ones as well. This Halloween special is sure to be a good one.

The show loves to play with pop-culture and pull on the nostalgia strings at times. They’ve implemented things from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, The Wizard of Oz, Frankenstein, My Fair Lady, The Little Mermaid, E.T., Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Marvel, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and more.

Pegg and Frost will fit right into this world, and I can’t wait to see what they are planning for their characters in this Halloween special.
