HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Those damn vampires just won't let go, yet another among million upcoming vampire projects has been announced today: with big producing names such
as Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, another of Anne Rice's novels THE TALE OF THE BODY THIEF will be brought to the big screens. As "MovieWeb" reports the story again follows famous vampire Lestat who has grown depressed after centuries as a vampire, so he decides to transfer souls with a psychic for one day. The psychic, though, is invigorated by the switch and will not give Lestat his body back. Lestat must round up some friends with his new human form in order to get his vampire body back. As you know Tom Cruise played Lestat in INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE and Stuart Townsend played him in QUEEN OF THE DAMNED.

And since we are apparently having a vampire and spooks day at HOLLYWOOD SPY, we should also announce THE KITCHEN SINK
film, which has a crazy title, but wait till you hear the plot: this Sony Pictures project will follow three teenagers, a vampire, a zombie, and a human, who team up to save their small town from invading aliens. I'm surprised they didn't throw in cowboys in the battle too. Or was that done already? And to finish in the same horror tone, check out some new pictures from ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER which will see young Benjamin Walker playing the infamous American president who has a naughty secret: when he finishes his presidential duties in the evening, he goes on exterminating bloodthirsty vampires lead by
the prince of the undead played by Rufus Sewell. Hitting cinemas this June, the film also stars Dominic Cooper and Anthony Mackie.
Wow! I never realised how attractive Julianne Moore was till I saw that picture!
ReplyDeleteAbraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter? Weird! I don't know what to make of that film?!
oh, you haven't seen anything, Berserc, I've been posting only her hot pics in last three years :))
Deletewow the seventh son of the seventh son could confuse a ton. Might be interesting though. I hope Lincoln with that will make the vampires go. Too many of those damn things around.
ReplyDeleteyou know that the seventh son of the seventh son always has magical powers, right? Never heard of anyone being anyone's seventh son, though :)
Deleteso does the seventh son of the seventh son of the seventh son have better powers?
Deleteno, with third generation you need the eight son of the seventh son of the seventh son... don't ask...
DeleteBenjamin Walker looks like he is on stilts in those photos.
ReplyDeleteI think he is generally super tall :) that is why that make him wear tight leather pants when he performs in his musicals in theatre :)
DeleteThe Kitchen Sink sounds like it could be fun. And i am still waiting for any progress on the vampire Academy movie. Its like the movie gods want to punish me :(
ReplyDeleteI wonder if werewolves will get offended for not being included in the cast :)
DeleteThe Seventh Son project sounds interesting to me. I've got a similar story simmering on the back-burner in my head.
ReplyDeleteoh, lord, they've stole your story again ;PPPP
DeleteI know!!! Either that or I'm just really unoriginal. :- /
ReplyDeleteOr you're just ahead of your time and visionary ;)
DeleteI enjoyed all of Anne Rice's vampire books but Tom Cruise as Lestat? Sorry. No. Let's hope they get someone who can actually pull of playing the character this time. But if they can...I am definitely interested :)
ReplyDeleteyep, we have Cruise here, he is actually banned at HOLLYWOOD SPY and we shall no longer write about his films because in his latest MISSION IMPOSSIBLE his character says "I've killed Serbs like flies". What kind of idiotic moron would do such a thing on film?
DeleteI will see the Abraham Lincoln film because the story sounds intriguing. I tried to read the Rice book, but by then she'd lost the knack for writing and I couldn't finish it. When Hollywood gets on a trend, they sure know how to overdo it.
ReplyDeleteI pray for the day when angels will finally get their spot in Hollywood... although I'm not optimistic. People hate good things and love bad ones :(
DeleteNot a fan of vampire movies.
ReplyDeleteme neither, Clarissa
DeleteUgh, more vampires? I think I'll stay home and bake bread ;)
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, bake bread and send us a tone or two :)
DeleteAhah yeah, seems like the world's gone vampire crazy! Hollywood is hell-bent on milking the Twilight craze until its last bloody drop apparently. But then again Anne Rice made vampire cool in Interview with the Vampire when there were hardly any of such movies around, unlike today.
ReplyDeleteI think an angel loses its wings whenever someone mentions TWILIGHT :)
DeleteI'm all for watching a new version of Lestat in Body Thief; but seriously, Abe Lincoln vimpire hunter. This craze is just going too far.
ReplyDelete.......dhole
Tell me about it sister...
DeleteHe's an awfully good looking Abe Lincoln -- TOO good looking.
ReplyDeletehe is? He is Meryl Streep's future son in law :)
DeleteAbraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter? WTF?
ReplyDeleteexactly!
DeleteWell you know me dear, give me werewolves. Where are all my werewolves? LOL Of course you know I must see these projects as I am at heart a monster/horror girl. :)
ReplyDeleteI know, what is wrong with me? LOL
I've no idea, darling, you might need an exorcist or something :PPP
DeleteHope you are feeling better?
I am feeling better, sweetie. Thanks. And I'm watching myself, too, because I know you and the penguins will yell at me if I don't. :)
DeleteAn exorcist? LMAO You're probably right. ;)
;P
DeleteOh good lord. Honestly of Anne Rice's books, the Interview needs a reboot. They reboot everything else, right? Interview needs a reboot followed by Lestat, and then Queen of the Damned. And for Christ's sake, they need to hire people that can act and a Lestat that looks like Lestat and not that Tom Cruise!
ReplyDeleteTale of the Body Thief was a horrible book. It took me forever to read. It's boring boring boring. How awful. Anne Rice must have pushed that pile of garbage through to get it greenlit. She's probably jealous of Stephanie Meyer who outsold and outdid her writing YA sparkling mormonesque vamps.
oh, I seriously thought Anne Rice was some old dead lady. She is still alive? She should do some jail if you ask me for making vampires into romantic interest to so many crazy girls...
DeleteA vampire movie where vampires die? I am ok with this I guess.
ReplyDeleteAlso, no, Dezmond to me is a copper blue with hints of bone white. :P
ah, blue is the only colour I never wear :) I'm all green and occasionally deep violet. But my office is in petroleum blue shades mixed with sand colour.
DeleteI just do not get that vampire film... I like the sound of it though
ReplyDeletewhich one, Scottie, I think I mentioned a few in the post :)
DeleteA.L. a vampire hunter? WTF is that all about, Hollywood? What's next? 'W... bite me!' I've never seen a sexier picture of Ms Moore. Don't tell me it's a special effect! :)
ReplyDeleteI've used and abused that pic of Moore quite a lot at HOLLYWOOD SPY, this is probably the last time, I must give some chance to other of her pics, and I have a stash :) Gotta keep my boys warm this winter
DeleteAbraham Lincoln wants to be good with a title and story like that but we can hope!
ReplyDeleteI reckon it will flop big time at the box office
Deletethe seventh son could be interesting!
ReplyDeleteblech vampires yawn! amiright?
LOVE LOVE LOVE your roses dezzy! :)
yep, I hear vampires can be repelled with fragrant roses so I'm trying out that trick :)
DeleteWow, they are making a movie out of this, cool!
ReplyDeletethey are!
DeleteI don't care how good Abraham Lincoln is, nothing beats Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter. The most finely crafted terrible movie I've ever seen.
ReplyDeletethere was such a movie? :)
DeleteAbe Lincoln: vampire hunter looks like a hell of a lot of fun! Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteyou will wait till summer :)
