New Cinema Releases: 25th March 2011

We are back again this week with everything that is worth your while going to see at the cinema this week.  First off.

Faster

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton, Maggie Grace, Mike Epps and Carla Gugino


Whats It About?

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays Driver an ex con who is released from prison after serving a ten year sentence, for a botched Robbery that went wrong resulting in the death of his brother.  Upon his release Driver meets someone called the Man played by Mike Epps, who supplies him with a list which contains the names of people who double crossed him and his brother in the past.

Driver soon attracts the attention of Cicer (Carla Gugino) a detective and cop Billy Bob Thornton who close to retirement is suffering from a drug habit.  Driver soon attracts the attention of Killer (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), who is working on his so called last job and is sent to kill Driver.

Not wanting to give too much away that is all I will say on it, the movie has received a bit of a panning on a couple of the US reviews I have seen.  For me I think anything with Dwayne Johnson is worth a watch and I will definantly adding this to my list of movies to watch and review, check out the Faster trailer below.

Also out this week,

Country Strong

Starring: Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim McGraw, Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester

Whats It About?

Not all that much to say on this one, in my view it's not really a good week for movie releases other than the above.  Paltrow plays a fallen country music star who help out a rising star, together they plot his ascent to the top and her comeback.  As always in the music business it's not that simple and complications arise when the pair become romantically linked, causing complications with Paltrows Husband and Manager played by McGraw (a country music star in his own right).

I am usually a big fan of music Biopic movies, or music movies in general (not musicals), I would have to stand up and say now that I do not believe that I have ever even seen a Gwyneth Paltrow movie.  No wait I tell a lie, just checked IMDB.  Shallow Hal I have seen that, hilarious.  The Talented Mr.Ripley, brilliant movie and also Se7en, again a great movie.  I still can't decide weather I would watch this or not, I probably watched the others for other actors or actresses, lets not forget also that Paltrow is an Oscar winner so her acting talent is not in question, but for me I'm just not a fan.  Check out the Country Strong trailer below.

So their you have it for another week at the movies, like I say not much going on really.  My top choice would be Faster and if you have kids then A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventure may be the way forward.

Don't forget to leave your comments as always, I respond to them all.  If you liked this then check out some UPCOMING MOVIES and take a look at SUPER 8 and don't forget we are over at twitter.com/@Martyv28 thanks for dropping by and we will be back on Sunday with the weekly music post, unless their is some interesting movie news that needs to be shared over the weekend.

American Pie 4: Original Cast back on Board

Good news this week, we are hearing that Sean William Scott, Jason Biggs and Eugene Levy have signed on to make a fourth American pie movie.

The movie will be officially the fourth installment of the American Pie series with the original being released in 1999, American Pie 2 in 2002 and then American Pie the Wedding released in 2005.  The series has released a string of straight to DVD movies the first of which was Band Camp, the DVD series has been very lucrative and kept original cast member Eugene Levy, the magic of the originals and their casts has not been repeated.

Warner are also in talks at the moment with other original cast members Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Chris Klein, Mena Suvari and Jennifer Coolidge for them to return also and plan to speak with band geek Alyson Hannigan and bombshell Shannon Elizabeth about reprising their roles.

I pretty much gave up watching American Pie: Band Camp after about 45 minutes and have not seen any of the other straight to DVD releases.  I love the original series they are all great but for me the scene in American Wedding where Stifler showcases his dance moves has to be one of the best.

American Pie 4: American Reunion will no doubt be a big box office movie and hopefully be as entertaining as the original series, it is due to be released in 2012 and is being written and directed by Harold and Kumar Get The Munchies John Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg.

Upcoming Movie Trailers: Pirates Of The Caribbean, on Starnger Tides & Blitz

A quick posting for today with two new movie trailers for you to enjoy first up.  We all know that Johnny Depp and his pals are back this year with Pirates Of The Caribben: On Stranger Tides.  The latest trailer for the new Disney 3D epic has just been released with a bit more of an insight as to what the story is about.  In brief Captain Jack Sparrow and Barbossa go in search of the fountain of youth, only to discover that Black Beard and his daughter are also in search of the prize.

Another sneak peak for you now, and it's more of the same from the new Jason Statham movie.  Like his has not kicked enough ass already this year whilst filming the Mechanic.  Statham is back this time as a detective who is on the case of a serial killer who specifically targets police officers.  The trailer alone lets you know what this movie is about, as always an adrenaline fuelled ass kicking orgy.

So there you have it a short posting, but exciting all the same be sure to leave your comments, I respond to them all.  Subscribe to us via E-mail and as I always say you can FOLLOW us.

Must Have Songs For Your iPod: Week 3

So I turn on my computer today ready to type my favourite posting of the week, I roll over this new song by someone I have not heard of MOGWAI, who?  Yeah that's exactly what I thought.  Turns out they have a new album Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, very refreshing I know!  I was intrigued enough to give them a listen on YouTube, thinking of course that it would be some kind of throw back to my teenage years as a hardcore raver.  Turns out I was very wrong.

MOGWAI are a five piece post rock band formed in Glasgow back in 1995, who knew?  Not me that's for sure.  Their music is mostly all instrumental but you should give it a chance, kind of like Moby but a bit more of an up beat kick.  Not quite the raving that I was expecting.

MOGWAI - San Pedro

You Can Buy The Mogwai Album Here

You liked that didn't you!  Well I know I did ad I am going to be checking out more of their songs on YouTube this week and will post my findings.

So what else is new and hot this week, that you will want to add to iPod or MP3, like I say every week this is about all types of music new and old. So this week we got a couple more, one not so old and one pretty old check them out below.

She may be bad but is perfectly good at it, at least according to her anyway.  I am of course talking about Rhianna nana whats her name?  Her new (ish) song S&M is great like a lot of her music.  The official video for this one has been flagged as inappropriate for by YouTube, not removed but you have to sign in or sign up to prove that you are 18.  Me being 28 and a guy, I don't find it inappropriate at all and I will be signing into my account later today.  We will have to make do with the lyrics here.

Rhianna - S&M

You Can Buy Rhianna "Loud" Here

Now I mentioned a Scottish rock band before so with the something old this week I am going to remind you all of Big Country a Scottish band from back in the 80's.  I was introduced to these guys through people at work, part of Big Country's cult following if you will, they still release music for their followers, but I like the older stuff two imparticular.

Big Country - Alone

Big Country - Restless Natives

Hope you enjoyed the latest posting, check out the previous two Beady Eye and Cee Lo Green.  We also paid tribute to rap star Nate Dogg this week.

New Cinema Releases: 18th March 2011

So we are back again it's that time of the week when we have all had enough of the 9 to 5, we want to just put up our feet and relax.  Of course most of us do that watching TV and movies so here is whats happening in cinemas near you this weekend.

The Lincoln Lawyer

Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei and Ryand Phillipe

Genre: Drama

What's it about?

So I know what you are thinking, is this just another one of those courtroom drama films?  No.  McConaughey plays Mick Haller the owner of a Lincoln town car, hence the name (The Lincoln Lawyer).  For a criminal defence attourney running an office from the back of his car things don't seem to be going to bad for him, even affording his own personal driver.

A Beverly Hills rich boy is arrested for brutally attcking a woman.  Hatter soon finds himself with his biggest paying client for years, but are the suspect and the victim who they seem?  And is Hatter in deeper than he could have imagined.

This is a movie that you may first think is going to be the normal boring Matt McConaughey gets his top off and dives into a blue ocean flick, but I think you may be surprised.  The movie looks really promising with a good thought out storyline and excellent supporting cast in Marisa Tomei and Ryan Phillipe.  Have not made up your mind yet then watch the trailer below.

Limitless

Starring: Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro and Abbie Cornish

Genre: Thriller

What's it about?

Bradley Cooper, one of the best Hollywood actors right now plays Eddie Mora a copywriter who discovers a new smat drug which empowers him with superhuman abilities.  The usage of the drug begins to change his life and a group of killers begin to trail his every move.

Eddie is introduced to NZT a new reveloutionary drug, he can recall anyhting he ever read, seen, heard or learned in any language.  Soon Eddie takes Wall Steert by storm mking millions and a rich investor mega mogul Carl Von Loon (Robert De Niro) invites him to help broker the largest merger in corporate history.  Eddie soon finds himself out of his comfot zone and under pressure from people willing to do what ever it takes to get their hands on NZT.

This movie has certainly received some hype and for me should be worth every penny you spend watching it this weekend, after all Robert De Niro soes not normally sign up to bad movies (Little Fockers exused) and as said Bradley Cooper has got to be one of the hottest properties in Hollywood right now.  Still making your mind up?  Check out the Limitless Trailer below.

Nate Dogg

sad news this week hip hop superstar Nate Dogg has died aged 41, the man who invented the G Funk era.  The rap star had suffered two strokes in the past and his death is believed to be attributed to complications from multiple strokes.

Tributes have flooded in from friend and family through out the hip hop world, superstar Snoop Dogg has said that he (Nate Dogg) put the "G" into G Funk.

J.J Abrams Movie: Set To Be A Summer Blockbuster

Hey so we are back keeping your finger on the pulse with new movie news, this week it is about J.J Abrams the man most famous as being the Executive Producer of hit TV Show Lost, gripping the whole world with stories of Polar Bears and strange happenings on desert Islands.  J.J Abrams looks set to wow us all again this year teaming up with Stephen Spielberg for the new new movie Super 8.

Abrams has been a busy guy, following Lost he went onto produce Undercover's a US TV Show and then Fringe which we all saw here in the UK.  Abrams is no stranger to the world of movies, with Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol coming out later this year and announcements made that he will be producing the Star Trek Sequel due for release in 2012 and following that he will be working on the Cloverfield Sequel.

Abrams new movie Super 8 is due for release in the US on 10th June 2011 and then 19th August 2011 in the UK.  Abrams has taken a different seat on this one and finds himself sitting in the directors chair whilst also writing the movie, with non other than Stephen Spielberg on board as Executive Producer.

Over in America they will be a bit more familiar with the Super 8 movie, due to the trailer being aired during the Superbowl, so unless like me you are a serious movie buff then you may not have heard to much about it.

The movie introduces us once again to Elle Fanning, the younger sister of Dakota Fanning who has starred in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button alongside Brad Pitt and also with Denzel Washington in the movie Dejavu.

Set in Ohio 1979, a group of six children use a Super 8 camera to make their own Zombie movie.  one night they are filming near a remote stretch of rail road tracks, they witness a train hit a car leading to a catastrophic derailment.  But what is on the train?  The U.S Air Force have closed down a section of Area 51 with all materials being transported to a remote secure facility in Ohio, following the train crash something Inhuman emerges from the train leaving the local deputy searching for answers.  Watch the Super 8 movie trailer below.

It looks like J.J Abrams is going to pull of another mind puzzling action packed blockbuster for us all to enjoy once again, proving why he is one of the best Director and Producers in Hollywood.  I can't wait for the release of this movie, with the trailers leaving us with bated breath of how good this movie is going to be.  A lot of comparisons are being made with the movie Cloverfield, a movie I have not actually seen, but for me this looks every bit worth a watch.

Two And A Half Men: Its Official

Sheen has reacted telling tmz.com "This is very good news, they continue to be in breach...." to read the full eh, rant click the link above.

The sitcom had cancelled filming part way through the eight series thanks to Sheen's behaviour which saw him with a spell in hospital thanks to a 36 hour alcohol and drug binge with porn stars a plenty.

The $2 million  a episode star of the show has recently been on a US radio show and called the shows creator Chuck Lorre "a contaminated little maggot" and stated that he had been offered $3 million an episode to head up a new show with a different TV network.

Showcase Cinema: New At The Cinemas 11th March 2011

So its that time of the week again when new releases at the cinemas are there to be seen by all, this week sees a couple of great movies being released, so without further a do first up.

Battle: Los Angeles

Starring: Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez and Bridget Monaghan.

Action/Sci-Fi/Thriller

This is the latest Hollywood blockbuster brought to you by Jonathan Liebesman. Following years of sightings of UFO around the world, they all become a harsh reality as an unknown force attacks Earth. The movie sees Los Angeles as the last city standing following an Alien invasion of the Earth, every other city has been taken down and now its up to S/Sgt Michael Nantz (Aaron Eckhart) to lead his marine platoon and take on an enemy that they have never encountered before. This movie has been really heavily hyped up and coming in at a budget of $70m the special effects should be amazing, one thing for sure we will be watching this one and you can expect the review to be out in a week or two.  Have not heard about the movie?  Check out the trailer for it below.

Next up and also new to cinemas this week is this,

Hall Pass

Starring: Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis and Stephen Merchant.

Comedy

This is the latest comic offering from Owen Wilson, who is joined by star of the Office UK Stephen Merchant. The story centres around Rick (Owen Wilson) who is married, his wife gives him permission to have an affair with a woman of his choice and he is joined on the mission by his best friend Fred (Jason Sudeikis). Things are going fine until the wives involved decide to arrange some extra Martial activities of their own, cue the hilarity to start when the shoe is on the other foot. I have not heard to much about this and no doubt Wilson will be pretty predictable with the usual stupid gags thrown in. Not sure what to think check out the trailer below.

Ok so that's everything worth getting out and about to see this weekend, thanks for dropping by and don't forget you can contact us musicgamingvideo@gmail.com follow us at twitter.com/@Martyv28 and as always leave your great comments, I respond to them all.

Warner Brothers Studios To Offer Movies On Facebook

Social networking giant Facebook is joining forces with Warner Brothers studios to offer movies to watch on Facebook. The first movie available is going to be The Dark Night Warner Brothers most successful movie in history.

The move will work similar to Facebooks deal with Simon Cowell and ITV 1 in relation to X Factor voting (we posted about that earlier). Facebook users will be able to buy credits which will enable you to rent the movie for $3 totalling 30 Facebook credits, this will give you access to the movie via your account for 48 hours.

Rumoured: Anthony Hopkins to Play Villan In Bond 23

As yet we don't know how true or even false this rumour is, it was broke by the Sun newspaper, so maybe we should be taking it with a pinch of salt.

The new Bond 23 movie is due to be released November 9th 2012 with Daniel Craig and Judi Dench already signed to take up their roles. Rumour has it that Director Sam Mendes is now chasing the signature of Anthony Hopkins to play the villain.



The Oscar winner has played some pretty scary villain character's in the past most memorable of all being in Silence of The Lambs as Dr Hannibal Lecter.

This is pretty hot off the press and the role was thought to have already been offered to Havier Bardem, one things for sure with the movie due out in November 2012 we should have some conformation here soon.

Tinie Tempah: Wants New Album To Sell One Million Copies

A big statement you might say from smeone who is still relativly new to the music business and people in America may not have even heard of. If anyone is capable though it would be Tinie who has had an amazing first yearin the music with his first album Disc-Overy going straight in at number one back in October 2010.

Tinie managed to grab himself 2 brit awards, and two British number ones even performing with none other than "D" to the "O" to the double "G" "SN" double "OP" Snoop Dogg at last years Glastonbury festival.

Tinie's debut single "Pass Out" is one of my personal favourites and was shortly followed by the single "Frisky" and then "Written In The Stars". Tinie then went on to collaborate with the Swedish House Mafia for "Miami To Ibiza".

So watch this space for Tinie Tempah becoming one of the biggest names is the world of R&B, winning more and more international awards and maybe just maybe selling one million copies of his next album.

Check these Out

Tinie Tempah Pass Out Video

Johnny Knoxville Movies: Paramount Sign Up Knoxville

Paramount pictures have signed up Johnny Knoxville to take part in a more serious role. Knoxville has now been lined up for a part in "The First Man" playing the role of a politicians husband who ends his wild party days in order to help get his wife elected as President. Knoxville character soon folds under the pressure and returns to his wild partying ways.

On the more serious side of mad man Johnny Knoxville, I have seen the movie Walking Tall starring the mentioned Knoxville along side Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), and honestly I did not think he done a bad job, especially for a movie that probably only went to the cinema because Johnson had signed up.

I don't know yet that I will be definitely watching this movie and as yet it is only in the pipeline. Knoxville may go and do a Charlie Sheen on us all yet and have the movie finished before it has completed filming.

On a serious note though Knoxville has been offered two movies in total and is not straying far from his roots in the second one, joining his Jackass counterparts in the movie Moustache Riders. For me that has got to be one of the worst movie titles ever, and I can say that I dont think I will be in a hurry to see this one, if thats is what you are into fine but maybe I just a little old for that crap.

Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon

Release date: 1st July 2011, UK

The action packed Transformers is back later this year for us all to enjoy. The new movie Transformers: Dark Of The Moon is the third movie in the franchise following on from the disappointing Revenge Of The Fallen. The battle between the Autobots and Decepticons will be the one everyone is talking about again this summer with Hollywood supersatr Shia LeBeouf back as Sam Witwicky the human connection to the Autobots (the good guys).

A new villain is back for Transformers 3, Shockwave is based on the Moon and the race is on between the Autobots and Decepticons to get to him first and learn its secrets, which could prove to be the turning point in the final battle between the Transformers. Admittedly I did not see the second Transformers movie, but it is definitely on my list to get done before the new one is released this summer. Check the new Transformers 3 Dark Of The Moon trailer below.

This movie is going to be worth a watch as with all the movies posted here on this site and yes, I know I don't get reviews up here of everything that is posted but they are all on my DVD pile ready to view. Its just a case of getting around to it.

Who Will Replace Matt Damon As Jason Bourne

The writer and director of the Bourne movies Tony Gilroy is on the look out for a big Hollywood name to replace Matt Damon and super assasin Jason Bourne, the fourth movie in the series "The Bourne Legacy" is planned for August 2012 so Gilroy is going to have to work quick to find some one who can hold there own on what is going to be a massive box office movie, not only that but with Matt Damon's shoes to fill the succsessor should be carefully selected.

The heaveyweight Hollywood names being banded around at the moment are Jake Gyllenhaal, Toby Maguire, Josh Hartnett and Garrett Hedlund. All big names but only two of them for me could step into Matt Damon's role and pull it off.

My top choice would have to be Jake Gyllenhaal, for me he has been in more roles with this sort of story and is pretty big player in Hollywood, his new movie Source Code coming out April this year looks great, and he could definatly fill a void left by Matt Damon.

On the other Hand Toby Maguire is no stranger to the Hollywood spotlight having been in big budget box office hits of the superhero genre, his other movies tend to be more on the romantic and drama side of things though and nothing sticks out that he has done in the past, that said he is a great actor and would no doubt be a hot contender for the role.

Gilroy is keen to remind us that no one is replacing Matt Damon as such and the Bourne Legacy is not a prequel to the Bourne series. Gilroy has said the Bourne Legacy is going to be a whole new chapter in the story along with a new character to grow.

I'm sure what ever decision is made the Bourne Legacy will be a great movie, and well worth going to see at the flicks, let me know what you think as always drop me a line below in the comments section below want to contact me its musicgamingvideo@gmail.com and you can follow me at twitter.com/@Martyv28

James Franco, Movie Star

So I posted about James Franco a little while ago in the weekly news, you've probably heard of him he has been in some pretty good big budget movies Spiderman, The Green Hornet and 127 Hours to name but a few.

Franco is of course going to be hosting the Oscar's, and is making a pretty big name for himself of late, being well on the way to being a big Hollywood leading man.

Franco's latest project sees him in Rise Of The Apes which will be released in the UK 25th November 2011. The movie is set in San Francisco and center's around a guy conducting genetic engineering leading to the intelligence of Apes, causing a war for supremacy.



The movie looks quite promising and and should be worth a watch for Franco in the leading role. Franco is not leaving it there and also has great movies on the way like The Broken Tower and OZ: The Great And Powerful.

Franco has got a busy year ahead and I'm sure the offers for big budget box office movies will continue to pour in next year

X Facotr Voting On Facebook

ITV and Simon Cowell are about to start a new trend and quite possibly change the way we vote on reality television programs.

Bosses are now in talks with 26 year old Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg the owner of Facebook currently the biggest website in the world with 550million members worldwide. The voting system is hopefully going to be introduced on both side of the Atlantic with the American X Factor set to start later this year.



Facebook Owner Mark Zuckerberg

 This is set to revolutionise the way we vote on reality television programs like X Factor, Britain Got Talent and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here to name but a few. Viewers in the UK will be able to buy facebook credit enabling them to vote, unlike our American counterparts who do not pay to vote due to Broadcasting laws

Surely two of the richest men on the planet are going to see themselves get even richer, with even more people being introduced to the website that revolutionised social networking.

Apollo 18

UK Release date 22nd April 2011

This is a new Sci-Fi Horror movie based on a supposed Apollo 18 mission to the moon in December 1973 that NASA say never happened. Dont think this is going to be anything like Apollo 13 or Mission To Mars and is set mainly on the moon and in a spacecraft.

The movie looks promising and the official trailer is now on the internet, the footage in the trailer is said to be the actual footage taken by the astronauts themselves many say this is the real reason we've never been back to the moon.

Movie Review: UNSTOPPABLE Starring Denzel Washington

Ok so I finally got my ass into gear this weekend and got round to watching a movie. There has not been many posts this month sorry for that I've been busy over here http://hubpages.com/profile/Martyv25 take a look maybe you'll enjoy the reading.

On with the review, this weeks movie Unstoppable.

Whos In It

Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson

The Plot

Denzel Washington is a train driver who has a new rookie (Chris Pine) working with him, two dummy down at the train switching station accidently set a train with no air brakes attached and the throttle on full. As usual Denzel and his counterpart save the day with a daring attempt to stop the runaway train.

The Verdict

All in all I thought this movie was great. The action started pretty much from the off, ok you could see where the story was going and how it was going to end but if you are like me then that does not really matter as long as you enjoy it. Denzel is prertty much himself, you know! the coolest man on the planet when under preassure and he is backed up by a good supporting cast. If you want a movie with plenty of non stop action that does not really require a lot of thinking about then this movie is for you.

Would I watch It Again?

Definatly, I would watch this movie again tomorrow. Like I say great fun non stop action without to much to think aout.

My Star Rating

****, great fun.

Well thats it for this weeks movie, thanks for dropping by as always and remember you can contact me musicgamingvideo@gmail.com or follow me at Twitter.com/@Martyv28 dont't forget to leave your comments.

Movie News

Jason Segel Attached to Star in ‘Undercover Cop’

Briefly: It’s going to be a big year for Jason Segel. He’s finishing The Muppets, has a role in Bad Teacher, which hits this summer, and now it looks like he could be the star of Undercover Cop. OK, not the greatest title, but the concept could work: the comedy is based on the story of a cop who “infiltrated the New Jersey criminal underworld” in the ’80s. Let’s hope it’s something like Donnie Brasco meets Beverly Hills Cop rather than, say, Donnie Brasco meets the ’04 Starsky & Hutch.

Coen Brothers Will Watch Tara Reid in ‘The Big Lebowski 2,’ If It Gets Made

The saddest or most amusing statement so far this week, depending upon your perspective, came from a substance-affected Tara Reid on the red carpet for a benefit event in Los Angeles . The actress, who played nympho trophy wife (to use the parlance of our time) Bunny Lebowski in The Big Lebowski, said that a sequel would shoot this year. Ha ha, good one Tara! Oh, wait. You’re serious? Gulp.



Austin 360 mentioned it to the Coen Brothers, and Ethan Coen said, “I’m glad she’s working on it…we don’t [have a sequel in the works] but we’ll watch it when it comes out.” Joel Coen chimed in, “Especially if Tara’s in it.” Good to see they’ve got a sense of humor about it. All I request of Tara Reid is that, should this sequel ever happen (it won’t) please make sure John Turturro‘s idea to have his character Jesus Quintana show up as a school bus driver is put into play. (And for the record, Tara Reid’s reps have tried to clarify the story, saying “she heard Jeff Bridges say that he wanted to make Big Lebowski 2 and have all the original cast members in it, so she may have misspoke, thinking that included her based on what Jeff said.”)

Johnny Depp Passes on Sam Raimi’s ‘Oz, the Great and Powerful;’ James Franco Next

Finding a new wizard of Oz is proving to be much more difficult than following a yellow brick road. First Robert Downey Jr. stepped out from behind the curtain, next Johnny Depp passed on the role and now director Sam Raimi is hoping that he can reunite with his Oscar-nominated Spider-Man co-star to headline Oz, the Great and Powerful. James Franco is in preliminary talks to star in Raimi’s Wizard of Oz prequel after Depp passed on the role this week. Read more after the jump.The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of Depp turning down the role and Franco being next on Raimi’s wish list. And while he hasn’t had the box office success of Downey or Depp, Franco is fast becoming one of the most versatile and popular actors in Hollywood. He also really loves taking projects that are out of left field so him playing the eventual Wizard of Oz might appeal to him. That is, unless, the deliberate actor finds the film a bit too similar to the one he’s already finished filming that’s also a prequel to another Hollywood classic, Rise of the Apes.

Keanu Reeves Announces More Matrix Sequels.

Ok so the first Matrix movie was released and don't get me wrong, along with everyone else in the world I thought it was great. Mind you I did have to see it a couple of times before forming that opinion. The Watchowski brothers then wrote the scripts for Reloaded and Revelations together, the first sequel Reloaded was also a very good movie and you felt that maybe you where getting somewhere with the story line. Then they released the third movie Revelations, which was terrible. In fact it left everyone wondering what was all that about in the previous two movies, if anyone can enlighten me, then hey drop me a line.

Now I hear Keanu Reeves has been over here in England being honoured by the London School Of Performing Arts, and has announced that there may be another addition to the Matrix franchise.

The Watchowski brothers have reportedly written two more scripts for two more follow up movies and have been talking with George Lucas about making into a 3D adventure. Let's face it what ever they end up doing It can not be any worse than the last movie, and we might actually get some answers as to what is going on.
