HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Just a few days ago HOLLYWOOD SPY has written about ASSASSINS' CREED and
SPLINTER CELL movie projects, and now we have another video game
getting its
film adaptation: Scott Derrickson will direct DEUS EX: HUMAN
REVOLUTION film version. Set in the near future, when dramatic advances
in science, specifically human augmentation, have triggered a
technological renaissance, the super popular and high selling video
games follows Adam Jensen, an ex-SWAT security specialist who must
embrace mechanical augments in order to unravel a global conspiracy. The
film will also mix cyberpunk with philosophical ideas and concepts. It
is interesting that arcade game ASTEROIDS is also to be made into a film
helmed by TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE producers.
THE HEAT TRAILER
If you are in the mood for a fun comedy, check out the first trailer for action comedy THE HEAT which teams up Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy and is ready to open in cinemas next April.
Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence, and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), one of Boston P.D.'s "finest," is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and
uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the most elusive criminals. Neither has ever had a partner, or a friend for that matter. When these two wildly incompatible law officers join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: buddies.
Melissa and Sandy together. I can not imagine how funny that will be. They are both hilarious. Hope it isn't overwritten, though. I will definitely be seeing Reach Me too. Hey, I'm finishing Gone Girl and I heard the female lead (Amy) was going to be portrayed by Gwyneth Paltrow whom I love. Any truth here?
ReplyDeletethey're quite a match, aren't they? :)) Although it's always strange for me to watch Melissa naughty and aggressive, since she will always be Sookie from GILMORE GIRLS to me :)
DeleteNo idea, about that one, Gina, haven't heard of GONE GIRL, but will inform you if I spy something.
That's what I first think any time I see her in a movie...Sookie!
Deleteshe;ll always be our dear Sookie no matter how naughty she tries to be :)
DeleteThe Heat looks great!! What a perfect pairing those two women with those personalities make. We've seen these kind of friendship cop movies with men and it's nice to see one with women. The trailer had me laughing from start to finish.
ReplyDeleteWe need the comedy darling, we need it desperately!
it will be HIGHlarious :) Somebody asked today if Sandra wasn't maybe a cop in her real life too since she constantly plays them on film :)
DeleteI like her better in something like this than I do in the lightweight romantic comedies she does. Those end up all being the same story over and over again. She is a good comedian I just wish she'd broaden her range a bit.
Deleteyep, especially since she is so good in emotional dramas. Loved her in CRASH and EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE. Can't wait to see her in sf suspense drama GRAVITY.
DeleteI haven't seen any of those films darling. Sorry.
DeleteCRASH was deeply touching and moving film, darling, I recommend you watch it on Netflix or DVD, it is one of those films that will make you and hubs talk about it for hours after and I know you love that. It's one of the films that moved me on deep levels.
DeleteThe dues ex video games weren't even that big, and had faded in popularity. The movies will bomb.
ReplyDeleteMost probably
DeleteOh, Dez, I laughed out loud at that clip of Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy together. That is a genius pairing. I gotta see that. :))
ReplyDeletethey're like match made in comedy heaven :) And I also think that Melissa will have great chemistry with Jason Bateman in IDENTITY THEFT
Deletearghly, gar... and my sweater is too tight, i get no respect...
ReplyDeletemaybe you should start wearing tight pants... it might help....
Deleteonly when i golf... in the rain.
ReplyDeleteOMG you're allowed to golf? What scandal is this? I imagine they let you snorkel too! Scandal, scandal I say!
DeleteI love Melissa McCarthy!
ReplyDeleteI can't blame you, Debs :)
DeleteOMG I am still laughing from The Heat. What a brilliant movie! I LOVE Melissa and Sandra. I cannot wait. ;)
ReplyDeleteReach Me sounds great, but Ryan is a bit of a dud. I haven't liked him in anything and he's not all that nice looking, either. To me anyway. I know I'm a Philistine and have no taste. LOL
Hey Mel - I just suggested to Elsie we three (and any other cool "chicks" out there) need to see this on the same night and have a blogfest about it.
DeleteI came back for seconds...might be back for thirds!
I knew you would love that one, Melsy :) Isn't it hilarious!
DeleteYep, you has no taste, it's a true wonder that you deem me attractive when you has absolutely no taste :PPPP
@Jenny
Deleteooh, somebody is pushing my visitors numbers high :)
It's a wonder you keep me around, Dezz. Who knows, one day I might come around. But wait, according to my mother that would a sign of the zombie apocalypse. LOL
Deletethe apocalypse has already started with the rule of Britney, Christina and Rihanna....
DeleteHey Dezzie darlin' - I am cracking up over here - seriously laughed myself silly while watching that trailer for The Heat. Seems like dear Sandra can't escape the FBI - they really want her, eh! hahahaha
ReplyDeleteThese two "chicks" rock...and I am going to not only see this movie, I'm going to own it...yah, I'm just that kinda gal - anything for a good laugh and this wee little taste was packed full of funny.
Still laughing, Jenny
I actually came back for seconds...still cracking up! Too funny!
Deleteglad you liked the trailer, Jenny, it seems to be a total hit with my ladies :) It really is a match made in heaven!
DeleteI had to come back and watch this a third time. LOL I can't get enough of Melissa and Sandra. I think Jenny has the right idea about a blogfest for this film.
Deleteglad you like it so much, Melsy :)
DeleteOh my gosh!!! I cannot wait for Sandra and Melissa's movie to come out! The Heat had me laughing so hard, I had tears running down my face, Dezzy. Oh, my, gosh!! I'm going to watch it again, it was that good!
ReplyDeleteWhew! Yep, it's funny the second time around =)))
DeleteI just came back for seconds too! Great "chick" minds think alike.
DeleteI think you, me and Melissa need to see this together. Since we all live too far away from each other to see it together we need to all go on the same night and then have a blogfest about it...it's on my 2013 calendar - oh yah!
@Elsie
Deletehe he I knew you would have that reaction to this one :) Can't wait to get a poster for the film, I'm sure it will be funny too
@Jenny
DeleteI should be the avatar image of that blogfest :PP
Actually Dezzie, darling, I thing it would be just the thing...so, I'm going to work on something and invite "the girls" to join in the fun.
DeleteIt comes out in April...so I better start planning...
ooh, April is my Birthday month :) Hope I will still be alive till then.....
DeleteOkay, you can party with the girls...we'll make it a special outing with a glass of bubbly being enjoyed as a toast to the birthday boy!
DeleteApril is turning out to be the "it" month...party central here we come! :) :) :)
it has always been the top month in the year :)
DeleteThat sounds like loads of fun you two!! We can have a blogging fest in honor of Dezzy's birthday and the movie - it will be a blast! =)))
DeleteI can already feel the heat :)
DeleteWell Dezz - I can feel the heat too, but mine is a mid-life thing - and when it's not the mid-life heat...it's because I'm in hot water!
DeleteLooks like I've rallied the posse so buckle up and get ready for some fun...April is just around the corner!
You'll have to give me heads up when The Heat hits the theatres so the girls and I can plan our outing! You'll be the ring leader! :P :P :P
sounds like a plan, hope I don't forget it and hope a zombie apocalypse doesn't stop our plans...
Deletethat or the Mayan thing...could go bad either way...
DeleteI used to play Deus Ex (good game), this could be interesting?
ReplyDeleteWell there you are you silly man you.
DeleteI know many people loved the game, I'm sure they will rush to see the film if it really happens in the end
DeleteThe Heat looks like a lot of fun. It could all turn out to be a dull bore but Bullock and McCarthy look to have some chemistry. It reminds me a bit of Stakeout with the male combo of Dreyfuss/Estevez!
ReplyDeleteyep, even if the plot turns out to be boring, the cast is just overly great and will hit success :)
DeleteI NEVER ASKED FOR THIS.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, Deux Ex? Didn't see that one coming.
yep, video games are new trend in movie adaptations it seems...
DeleteI was hoping to meet Sandra one day but I hope that it will be without her friend! You don't want to have trouble with her, don't you?
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm trying to say: looking forward to "The heat" ;-)
Greetings

yep, you'd be safer without Melissa around :))
DeleteIt would be interesting to see Kelsey Grammer in a film; I'm only used to watching him on that Frasier TV show and a few other programs. He's the only one among that ensemble cast that I'm the most familiar with....just not in film.
ReplyDeleteI never even heard of "The Heat," but the pairing of Bullock and McCarthy in a comedy makes for some good entertainment. This might outdo Bullock's previous stint as a detective in the old beauty pageant comedy, opposite Benjamin Bratt. What's up with the soundtrack on that HEAT movie trailer though? Almost makes me want to go to a club, not call the police! LOL
-Nicole
Yep, I also mostly seen him in the famous sitcom.
DeleteIt's some really catchy music in the trailer :)
whoho...new comedy movie by Sandy!!! can't wait to see it :)
