The younger brother of Chris Thor Hemsworth,
Liam Hemsworth has a new project in his pocket. Beside taking one of the leads in
HUNGER GAMES and going oriental in
ARABIAN NIGHTS, he will now take the lead in sf film
TIMELESS too, which
I mentioned back in 2010. Directed by
Phillip Noyce (SALT) the movie will follow a recently widowed man who inherits a fortune from his late wife. Plagued by an unresolved issue between he and his wife, he uses the money to build a time travel device to see her one last time, and to resolve a mysterious issue between the two of them.
HOLLYWOOD SPY REMAKE NEWS
When it comes to remake/reboot news this Monday, "MovieWeb" reports that
THE CROW remake has lost its director
Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
(28 WEEKS LATER), who is also in the game for directing new
HIGHLANDER. As you remember
THE CROW also lost its main star when
Bradley Cooper decided to play Lucifer in
PARADISE LOST instead. He could be replaced by
Channing Tatum now.
Meanwhile,
TOP GUN sequel is also in preproduction. Producer
Jerry Bruckheimer has now hired THOR and X-MEN FIRST CLASS screenwriters to pen the script. To be directed by
Tony Scott the sequel will focus on a group of young Air Force pilots, who fly remote-controlled drone planes from a command center.
A new trailer and a new poster have been released for the new uplifting romantic film
NEW YEAR'S EVE which opens in cinemas
December 9th directed by
Garry Marshall. A kind of sequel to VALENTINE'S DAY, this movie celebrates love, hope, forgiveness, second chances and fresh starts, in the intertwining stories told amidst the pulse and promise of New York City on the most dazzling night of the year. As you can see from the poster, the film features an amazingly stellar cast which includes Robert De Niro,
Sarah Jessica Parker, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ashton Kutcher, Zac Efron, Lea Michele,
Jessica Biel, Sofía Vergara,
Josh Duhamel, Katherine Heigl, Michelle Pfeiffer, Abigail Breslin, Jon Bon Jovi and
Til Schweiger.

The only movie here that interests me at all is Timless
ReplyDeleteBetter luck next time, son
ReplyDeleteLiam is nowhere near as hot as his brother. He's cute, but Chris is smokin'. And Liam's a bit young to be playing a recently widowed man with unresolved angst who builds a time machine to go back and deal with his now dead wife. Ah well... It might be interesting. ;)
ReplyDeleteRodrigo Santoro would be a better Crow than Tatum or Bradley. The character is a lean, dark rocker not a corporate dude-type like Cooper or a giant athletic looking guy like Tatum.
I really can't understand all these remakes. Feels lazy and unimaginative to me. :(
ReplyDeleteIt's true, Melsy, Chris has charisma, and Liam is way too young, I also wondered how will they incorporate this into the story.
ReplyDeleteRodrigo would be a great CROW, but it's possible the film won't even happen at all
@Luanne
ReplyDeleteboth film and music world are in deep crises when it comes to new talents and new ideas ... This decade will be remembered for total absence of creativity and taste, I think it is all due to the saturation of public with action, violence, sex and reality programmes. Studios don't know what more to give after that :(
"There can be only one" should be a rule in Hollywood and they should take these remakes and shove them up their rear end. Of course not much can be more atrocious than Highlander 2..haha
ReplyDeleteyes, most of later HIGHLANDERS were more of DOWNLANDERS :)
ReplyDeleteDezzy - Liam is yummy.
ReplyDeleteAnd the remakes... WHY??? Have a great night. =D
Hey, thanks for stopping by for pancakes today! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many remakes. Are there no new stories? Or is it that the world NEEDS another Top Gun volleyball scene? Great scene!
ReplyDeleteblech remakes.
ReplyDeletebut that crow pic you picked is amazing!
All for Timeless--I never get enough time travel. A remake of The Crow is akin to blasphemy. Why? is all I ask.
ReplyDeleteArabian Nights? No thank you.
Lee
Tossing It Out
The crow is such a cursed movie. Such bad luck
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love chick flicks, I'm not really a fan of the ones with multiple famous actors/actresses movies with multiple storylines.
ReplyDeleteI think the Crow should stay as a classic.
How many stars in NEW YEARS EVE? jeesh that wore me out!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday Dezzy!
No need for Crow and Top Gun remakes but you know Hollywood but New Years Eve has a damn good cast...maybe.
ReplyDelete@Shells
ReplyDeleteI know you have a special place in your heart for Liam :)
@Betsy
I can still taste the pancakes in my mouth :)
@Libby
there was a volleyball scene in TOP GUN?Were they shirtless? :)
@Vic
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling last night, you would be the one to like THE CROW pic :))
@Arlee
he he I know you like time travel Lee :)
@Adam
it is, hopefully this one won't be, although it already seems it is
@Lyndy
ReplyDeleteyou're not? I myself adore multiple stories both on film and in books. I'm currently translating a multiplestory book :) Sadly, it is a horrid one :(
@Scott
and I didn't even name all of them in the post :)))
@Lurk
it is a stellar cast... imagine all the vanity at the set :)
Wow, NYE does have a great cast. And it looks funny. How awesome to have such a funny director.
ReplyDeletehe is an old expert :))
ReplyDeleteYou know I LOVE my time machines so I've definitely got my eye on Timeless! :)
ReplyDeleteRemaking the Crow? How unexpected. And I feel like such a blonde. Right! Those Hemsworths are related. Duh--they look just alike. Oh, and they have the same last name! :D <3
ReplyDeleteI wish they weren't remaking THE CROW. The original was great. As for a TOP GUN sequel, what the hell for?
ReplyDeleteTimeless sounds interesting. Might take my girlfriend to go see that, she really liked the Timetraveller's wife which has a similar concept.
ReplyDeleteTimeless sounds cool, Crow doesn't need a remake. sorry about not commenting lately. My work computer has issues with blogger due to antiqueated explorer versions and what not. These will likely continue.
ReplyDeleteChrist, NEW YEAR'S EVE must be what being sent to hell must be like.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for The Crow!!!
ReplyDelete@Sam
ReplyDeleteyep, Sam, I know you like the timeless concept :)
But no chicken in it this time, I'm afraid :)
@Leigh
yep, sister, when two men look similar and share the same name there is always a "slight" possibility that they are brothers :))
@Josh
ReplyDeleteeven wondered if they will remake remakes in ten or twenty years? :)
@DWei
yep, TIMETRAVELLER'S WIFE was nice film with some seriously bad direction
@Budd
ah, you're one of those lurkers who read HOLLYWOOD SPY from workplace :) I lost a number of such people who thought the site was too spicy for opening in their office :(
I hope you're not too spicy to open at work, otherwise I'm screwed. In the bad way.
ReplyDelete@Movies
ReplyDeletewell if you define hell as a place filled with love and positive energy, then yes, although I do agree that the sight of Halle Berry and Hilary Swank is reminiscent of hell
@Pesos
you might wait for a while :)
@Joshy
ReplyDeletewell, I had cases of people who were reading me at work and had to stop doing it after their boss dropped in while they had one of my pics opened :) It's sad actually :( I really did lose some readers in that way, because not all people use computer at home.
I think that's the point. There aren't a lot of Good ones with the multiple storylines. When it's good it's great, but when its meh, it's terrible.
ReplyDeletequite interesting!
ReplyDelete@Lyndy
ReplyDeletethat goes for pretty much anything :)))
@Reilly
glad you think so
I did not know that Liam and Chris were brothers!
ReplyDeleteI just watched Valentine's Day for the first time last week. It was okay. I think I'll watch New Year's Eve on DVD too. It does have some great peoples in it!
Remake remake and remak *sigh* can there possibly be a year of no remake in the cinema?
ReplyDeleteBon Jovi in a movie, he hasn't chosen good movie yet...as far as I can remember
@Kelly
ReplyDeletethey are :)
I wanted to watch VALENTINES DAY last night too, but something was wrong with my DVD player :(
@Novia
we haven't actually seen much remakes so far, only FRIGHT NIGHT and now FOOTLOSE, most of them are still in production :)
Bon Jovi should not act if you ask me :)
Looking forward to a Top Gun sequel, as for the crow remake, it could possibly be done better than the original.
ReplyDeleteEven 1 remake is too much for me ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha so true!! it's probably not the movie but he himself that makes the movie not good
