According to "Deadline", adventurous billionaire
Richard Branson is negotiating to acquire the script for
COLUMBUS written by T.S. Nowlin for his new production company. If he succeeds, infamous director
McG (TERMINATOR SALVATION, CHARLIE'S ANGELS) will helm this epic about the
equally infamous Christopher Columbus and his famous voyage to America apparently in a
Zack Snyder's
300 style.
For some reason,
Ridley Scott's future sf horror project, the prequel to
ALIEN, is a hot topic these days around the net, probably because of the possible stars who might end up starring in this film which Scott wants to make as an R-rated flick.
Natalie Portman was already mentioned as a female Marine general in the film, and the latest possible additions to the cast include
James Franco and the totally unexpected
Anne Hathaway in unknown roles.
I must admit I haven't watched the first
HANGOVER, since such comedies aren't really my cup of tea, but this new detail about its sequel
HANGOVER 2 , coming out next, year is just super hilarious: according to "The New York Post"
Mel Gibson will be playing a Bangkok tattoo artist in it but it still isn't clear whether he would be playing himself as an actor hiding out in Thailand, or if he would be playing a character not at all associated with his own public image. What's even more crazy is that there's another disgraced guy who might appear in the sequel - no other but
Tiger Woods :)
Tiger Woods!? Surely, you jest. Mel, I can understand, but Tiger?
ReplyDeletewell, a man needs a new career, so why not a movie one? :))
ReplyDeleteAlien Prequel would be the movie I'm looking forward too most, can't believe Anne Hathaway might be in it, I do like her, like James Franco even more ha ha. Gibson for Hangover 2? I think him playing himself might actually be a good idea, could bring back some of his fans, who knows. Thanks for the gossip Dez
ReplyDeleteThe Hangover is hilarious; I'm not always in for raunchy humor, but it's pretty side-splitting. Can't wait for a sequel!
ReplyDelete@Dempsy
ReplyDeleteI hear you brother, I was also shocked that Anne might appear in this film. Hope she won't play the alien itself :))
@Summer
and it seems it will be a helluva sequel :)
OMG! You always get the scoop! I will pass the hell out if I see Mel's crazy ass lmfao! Just with that info I'm down to see it regardless!
ReplyDeleteTiger Woods kinda makes sense, since the first Hangover had Mike Tyson in it. I recommend the first Hanger movie to everyone, it's just bonkers but it's so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing Natalie Portman taking out some Xenomorphs.
ReplyDeleteI've always liked James Franco's acting, but I had no idea he was such a genius until I heard him interviewed on NPR the other day.
ReplyDeleteAnne Hathaway in a Sci-fi film? Alien prequel? Interesting... very very interesting.. Intriguing too for sure :).
ReplyDeleteHangover is one totally hilarious and entertaining film, can't wait to see what will be shattered by those four rascals in their second show :)
That Columbus flick sounds like it could be pretty awesome. Richard Branson is a frickin genius if you ask me. He has created quite the empire. Hangover II I'm a bit leery about. Loved the first one, but I don't know how a sequel will go over. I do like the news about the Alien prequel though. You know how I like me some Natalie Portman :)
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in Columbus if it were a fact based recounting of history and not merely a agenda driven smear on Columbus. We can see in retrospect that a lot of what the early explorers and entrepreneurs did was mishandled and immoral, but we should also understand that they were seeing things from a very different perspective at that time than we can see from our vantage point. I liked the way Ridley Scott handle the story in 1492: Conquest of Paradise. Things aren't always just all good or all bad like some propagandists would like to portray.

Tossing It Out
Hangover 2's got Mel and Tiger? Well, sounds like art imitating life & vice versa... seems fitting that these two are involved in one movie. I think the tagline should be Hangover 2: Cheatin' hearts.
ReplyDeleteAs for McG making an EPIC Columbus... I'll wait for the trailer before making my judgment. As Arlee Bird says, if it's fact-based (or as close to it as possible) then I'm interested.
If Mel OR Tiger appear in The Hangover 2, I'll be there on opening day to check it out....
ReplyDeleteMel in the Hangover 2? Sounds a lot different than the original. And maybe a little too close to real life?
ReplyDelete@Falsy
ReplyDeleteoh, sis, I didn't know Mel gets you so excited :PPP
@Jamie
did Tyson bite anyone's ear off in the film?
@Budd
I see you know your alien-terminology :)
@Matt
he is? That's nice to hear
@Jaccsy
the rascals will get into some action for sure
@Bryan
ReplyDeleteBrenson really is one cool billionaire who knows how to live his life :)
@Arlee and Flixy
indeed, as with any other historical film this one should follow the historical facts as much as it is possible and not just continue the propaganda we've seen so far.
@Andrew
glad you like the news
@Alex
maybe, maybe ... although I'm not sure he deserves the chance but ...
I think hangover2 is a movie to miss. But I like the names in the Alien prequel. That's exciting.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, sister :) Let's miss that film together :)
ReplyDeleteI hope it's just a rumor--Mel Gibson, oh my! Thanks for sharing the latest in Hollywood--now I feel all informed and everything.
ReplyDeleteHi DEZMOND - I would love to see Anne Hathaway in the Aliens prequel. I like her. She could pull it off - shock everyone. LOL =D
ReplyDeleteLove Anne Hathaway, not sure if I will like this role, but the actress I like. Tiger Woods??? Wow, really? (I'm still a fan of Tiger regardless of his personal life)
ReplyDelete@Sammy
ReplyDeleteglad you got informed, Sammy :)
@Shells
well, it would certainly be a shock :)))) She in a horror is like you or me in a horror :)
@Avalon
hope you don't mind me putting the link to your blog in red letters in the post above :)
That's cool. The more people know about his past, the better.
ReplyDeleteyes, I used the opportunity to educate them a bit more over you :)
ReplyDeleteImagine Mel & Tiger discussing women...
ReplyDeleteah, yes, maybe it's better not to imagine that :)
