HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
For your daily dose of television news, here are two pieces of info on
CW's upcoming projects. First of all, "Deadline" reports that horrid
director Catherine Hardwicke who gave the world cinematic
atrocities such as TWILIGHT and RED RIDING HOOD will team with GOSSIP GIRL producers on COPELAND PREP, a show which takes place at a secondary school where the students are being transformed into monster. CW is also developing Wonder Woman pilot which will be titled AMAZON because it will be an origin tale for the DC Comics heroine reviving the legend of Diana of Themyscira. This could mean an epic series, since Diana was the daughter of Queen Hippolyta, the first child born on Paradise Island in the three thousand year history that the immortal Amazons lived there. Six members of the Greek Pantheon
gave the baby special gifts and powers. Demeter, great strength; Athena, wisdom and courage; Artemis, a hunter's heart and a communion with animals; Aphrodite, beauty and a loving heart; Hestia, sisterhood with fire; Hermes, speed and the power of flight.

THE DETAILS TRAILER
Now here's something overly strange and uber weird, even after watching the trailer I'm not really sure what THE DETAILS film is really about. Check it out yourself. Opening in cinemas November2nd the film will see Tobey Maguire and Elizabeth Banks playing a struggling married couple who, already struggling with issues like infidelity and whether they should stay married, see their lives further complicated by ravenous raccoons burrowing under the sod in their
back yard. A disagreement over how to dispatch the pests creates a chain reaction of mishaps. But the trailer doesn't really speak of an adorable comedy with delightful raccoons, but something way too weird to be described. The cast also includes Laura Linney, Ray Liotta and Kerry Washington.
Isn't he the guy that plays "Neal Caffrey" in "White Collar"?
ReplyDeleteinded he is, Alex :)
Deletedidn't believe in his talent in the 1st season but the guy has it ;)
Deleteand he is going forward with his movie career as well
DeleteWell, hmmm, The Details looks like somebody's nervous breakdown on film. I think I'm much more interested in the first project with Colin Ferrell, even though that one sounds kind of convoluted.
ReplyDeleteyep, WINTER'S TALE should be a rather intriguing project, although I can't say I love the cast so far, Crowe, Smith and that ABBEY wench - not my cup of tea
DeleteI think grand pianos should fall on ALL cheating, cat-killing liars. Looks like a good movie to me!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, great to see Tobey Maguire getting back to some serious films after all those years of Spiderman fluff. And I LOVE Laura Linney in anything.
That would make piano makers extremely happy, Debs :)
DeleteWinter's Tale sounds very interesting. I'm a fan of Will Smith and Russell Crowe and love the spin of the bad guy falling in love.
ReplyDeleteThe trailer for The Details needs a bit more, um, details. Just a bizarre trailer. You're right, I can't figure out what exactly this movie is about. I think Luanne is correct though. It seems he has a breakdown of sorts. Or, maybe he's already bonkers and that's why all those raccoons dug up his yard and infested his house? I don't know...crazy!
imagine my suprise when I got bizarre while expecting cute coons :)
DeleteThey weren't cute looking at all...especially while in his home...
Deletepoor coons they probably got lost and ended up in that freak's house
DeleteWonder Woman goodness.....I'll need a moment!
ReplyDeletetake your time, Lurk :)
DeleteWW is overdue for a tvshow/movie
ReplyDeleteit's a wonder it's happening after that atrocious effort from last year...
DeleteLet's get the bad out of the way first. To me Details looks like trash disguised as quirky and hip. I didn't like the look of it at all. Cheating, accidentally killing a neighbors cat-not funny and not cool.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the picture of Matt darling. He looks lovely when wet. Winter's Tale does look like a good story and there's enough beefcake in there to keep me glued to the screen. It looks like Crowe is back to working regularly again. I hope he can keep his horrid personality under control long enough not to cost the producers money.
oh, I hate it when they try to push stupid as something hip and quirky.
DeleteI had trouble choosing Matt's pic, couldn't decide between the two, but I know my ladies loved him in MAGIC MIKE so I've chosen that one :) Did you know that he has kids with his boyfriend?
I've just read in today's papers, that Russell refuses to bathe and shower for days (that also goes for Brad Pitt and Leo de Caprio)
WINTER'S TALE intrigues me. I like that kind of story.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like the idea of the Wonder Woman story going back to its original roots. Sounds great.
yep, I'd much rather watch WW in ancient setting than in modern one.
DeleteAmazon sounds promising! I wonder who they'll cast?! :)
ReplyDeletethey could easily cast you, Samwise :P
DeleteSo Amazon is pretty much Wonder Woman and Friends right?
ReplyDeleteYeah... Can't say I really cared for the DC Universe too much except for Batman. Let me know if they make another Batman series.
you probably won't hear about it here, since we cannot stand anything connected to that morbidly dark knight
Deletedo you hear me screaming... good, didn't they learn about the failure that was nbc's version.... oh wait that was never seen. next you will tell me that they are going to remake Knight Rider or Robocop?
ReplyDeleteWhat a world, what a world... what a world as I fade into the background...
I've written tones of post on the remake of ROBOCOP, Zombie, where have you been? :P
DeleteThis is great!
ReplyDeleteyou've been saying that for years now
DeleteMatt Bomer in anything is fine with me, he is quite a talented actor and no one quite looks as hot as he does.
ReplyDeleteagreed fully and totally
DeleteHellloooo Matt Bomer!!! Yum :) :) :)
ReplyDeletegood morning, Jaxy :PP
DeleteHey, Dezzy! Yeah, that Matt Bomer. He's pretty hot. LOL! And I just love Elizabeth Banks. Have to check that movie out. And ooo!!! LOVE Wonder Woman. I saw where Marvell has decided to do Superman + Wonder Woman, and I was like, "When I was a kid, I thought they WERE a couple..." :D <3
ReplyDeleteHey, Leigh! I like Banks too, both as an actress and on the red carpet, she's always lovely.
DeleteI started reading Winter's Tale when I heard about the movie. Fantastic read! As for the movie - Colin Farrell already had me on board, but now with Bomer also cast? I don't think I can handle all that hotness in one movie!
ReplyDeleteI bet it is a nice book, wouldn't mind translating it for the readers in my country!
