Interesting...
ReplyDeletewell, it is a kind of a sf :)
ReplyDeletedito on the interesting... lets see Megan Fox cast as the female love interest! ;)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! And filming in my backyard too!
ReplyDeleteAnswer, I shall tell Eva you're advertising Megan instead of her :)
ReplyDeleteHope this is better than the Planet of Apes remake. It does sound promising but you know how that can wind up!
ReplyDeleteIs this one linked to the remake Planet of the Apes? or the original movies?

@Dezmond - I'm advocating for Eva to be in the next Batman film ;)
ReplyDeleteInteresting, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI quite liked the Planet of the Apes.
Glad you all like the news :) This will a prequel to the whole story we've seen so far in PLANET OF THE APES movies.
ReplyDelete@Answer
oh, that's fine with me, since you know how I don't watch new BATMAN movies :PP They can put Naomi as well, if you ask me [naughty smiley]
I just knew that Franco wasn't Fox's first choice for this film. It was Franco's "Spider-Man" co-star Tobey Maguire. Maguire lost the role because he wanted to have more input in the film. After reading the script, he came back to the table with lots of notes for the studio. At that point, the conversation ended and Fox immediately closed a deal with Franco.
ReplyDeleteOh, it seems then that Tobey has become conceited after marrying the daughter of the big boss??? What has happened to him anyway? I haven't seen him since SPIDERMAN.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see James Franco more and more often, so this lead role for him is definitely great news for me :)
ReplyDeletedidn't know your were a fan, Neb :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely am! ;) Have you seen Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme commercial with him? So retro, so stylish, so gorgeous! :)

yep, I was thinking of putting one of the Gucci pics, but they are mostly black and white :) My favourite are Henry Cavill for Dunhill and Jude Law for Burberry :)and off course my absolutely favourite celeb model in adds - Wentworth Miller in Gap adds :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite male celeb model in adds has to be ... Swede Arsenal player Freddie Ljungberg for Calvin Klein. I know he's a soccer player, not a movie star, but he's still a celeb, right? :)
ReplyDeleteWentworth Miller... 2... no wait.... 3 thumbs up! :)
I wish I could have looked this why when I'm 38! It's still hard to believe Wentworth is 38!
I know which Freddie's pics you are thinking of :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I also can't believe Wenty is almost 40!!! And did you know he has an MA in English just like me :))
After Gerard Butler, he is the second celebrity that brought HOLLYWOOD SPY the biggest number of visits and readers after I've posted this story:

I've read this post and believed the story, and I think they're such a lovely couple :)
ReplyDeleteme to :))) But you wouldn't believe the number of angry e-mails I've received after that from girls who won't accept the truth. I thought I had started III World War :)
ReplyDeleteTruth like this is always hard to accept. Poor girls! :) They're just jealous, Dezz, because all of them realize that regarding these circumstances, even you and me have bigger chance with Wentworth, than they do. Ha-ha! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, he'd fall for us in a blink of an eye :)
