Good news, people, good news. HOLLYWOOD SPY's favourite
Eddie Redmayne has joined sf movie
JUPITER ASCENDING. To be directed by MATRIX and CLOUD ATLAS helmers
Andy and
Lana Wachovski,
the movie will have a story set in a future where humans are considered the lowest form of life in the galaxy.
Channing Tatum is going to play an intergalactic bounty hunter who is sent by the Queen of the Universe to kill an Earth woman (
Mila Kunis) whose genetic traits are identical to the Queen's. The plot thickens when the would-be assassin falls for his target. It is not known whom will Redmayne play. Rising star
Eddie Redmayne has first shined in PILLARS OF THE EARTH, then he gave a stellar performance in BBC's
BIRDSONG and in MY WEEK WITH MARYLIN, and later this month you will watch him in
LES MISERABLES. He's also become a name which often appears at auditions and test shootings for the upcoming blockbusters.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Over the time we've got used to hearing weird things coming from
Tinseltown, so this one shouldn't really surprise you: following the
unexplainable trend of making remakes Universal has decided to do a
new
version of KOJAK! And guess what? They've hired
Vin Diesel to play the
lead role. SKYFALL, CASINO ROYALE and QUANTUM OF SOLACE scribes
Neal
Purvis and
Robert Wade are writing the screenplay! As "Deadline" reports
the
KOJAK TV series was popular back in the 70's with
Telly Savalas as
bald New York City Police Department Detective Lieutenant Theo Kojak. He
was known for his signature lollipop, and was a proud Greek American
who often celebrated his heritage. This version will be re-imagined in a
modern-day setting and will obviously not have a Greek in the lead role
:). You already know that
Vin Diesel will next be seen in THE FAST AND
THE FURIOUS with
Luke Evans and then in RIDDICK sf epic.
DRIFT TRAILER
The only trailer I have for you today looks rather boring, but at least you can enjoy shirtless
Sam Worthington in it :) His role here is rather different from the
epic ones we've seen him in before in AVATAR and CLASH OF THE TITANS.
DRIFT is a surfer movie which comes to theatres sometime next year and is set in breathtaking locations and inspired by the true story of Australia's legendary surf wear moguls. The film chronicles the rise of the world's premiere action sport and the expansion of the laid back surf attitude as a global lifestyle. A story of passion and corruption, friendship and loyalty, deadly addictions and fractured relationship.

Ooohh!! I literally got chills when I read Vin Diesel will be the next KOJAK, hehe :) He is SO perfect for the role!
ReplyDeletehe will not need to cut his hair off :)
DeleteVin as Kojak....don't know about that ~
ReplyDeleteThe Drift trailer looks good ~
Also, I am excited about your holiday treats / goodies ~
I think you will like Dezzy's Christmas Magic, Heaven :) Hope you will be there on Thursday :)
DeleteVin as the new Telly Savalas ! Good idea :)
ReplyDeleteGreat actor vin Diesel .
we do like him. Did you know that he actually finished school for a movie director?
DeleteVin is so freakin' HOT. I do love me a bald man!!!! And Eddie is quite interesting looking. Not handsome really, but a face you will certainly never forget.
ReplyDeleteyes, us bald men are gorgeous :PPP
DeleteEddie has the most mesmerizing eyes ever, he can hypnotize you in seconds.
Surfing is a huge deal for the Aussies. I'm not much of a beach bunny, but men in swimsuits, I'll look at that.
ReplyDeleteJupiter looks good. Humans as the lowest form of species in the galaxy-that could actually be true. We don't know yet. I like the idea though of the girl having the same genome as the Queen-I'm already thinking of stories to explain that. What did Queenie get up to when she was young? Hmmmm a tasty morsel of a human in her bed perhaps?
yes, staring at people in swimsuits is the only logical reason to go to a sandy pit under the scorching sun :)
DeleteIt should really be an interesting one, hope they don't make it overly philosophical like they did with MATRIX and CLOUD ATLAS.
There were parts of the Matrix I didn't quite get. I think it's harder with a movie to get deeply philosophical and make it understood. With a book that's easier and can be a really good thing. Gives one something to think about.
DeleteYou'll have to come to a beach in Ireland. It's cold, it's raining and all the Irish have pale skin and most of us look silly in swimsuits. The view is spectacular though in West Cork from the mountains over the ocean. Me loves that drive.
The first MATRIX was amazing, but the second and third were pure rubbish because they just didn't know how to get themselves out of the messy philosophy and opted for a really bad explanation, if there was any explanation actually in it :)
DeleteOooh, Annzie, milky white skin, especially hairy one, at the beach, would be my absolute favourite actually :)
Hmmm, surfers were kind of hairy in the 70's, weren't they? :P
ReplyDeleteyes, unfortunately, and we like Samwise only when he is nicely broomed :(
DeleteSam Worthington is great! Can't wait to see his new piece of work
ReplyDeletewe do like him a bit
Deletevinnie is kojack... okay. just because he is bald doesn't mean he will work... we need a greek actor to shave his head and bring in the lollipop... hollywood is off the deep end again... next they will make a jefferson's remake, but it will be about thomas and his family...
ReplyDeletewho is Jefferson and why should I inform myself about his family, oh, my zombie lord?
DeleteIt does seem like Vin was chosen because he's bald, and maye not for his talent.. But hopefully he will do great in the role.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for a Channing/Mila movie!
they probably want to go all action on Kojack with Vinnie :)
DeleteDrift looks awesome!!! Yay the Aussies! ;)
ReplyDeletehave you ever surfed, Lyndy? :)
DeleteI think Vin can pull it off.
ReplyDeleteI had to use my speakers for something else, so I'll have to catch that trailer later.
he can pull just about anything :)
DeleteI never saw Vin with hair before. He looks good either way.
ReplyDeleteHe looks quite strange with it, and the same goes for Dwayne Johnson, they're better with no hair or short hair :)
Deletedrift looks ok
ReplyDeleteglad you think so, Adam
DeleteI loved Kojak when I was a kid! Vin Diesel is a good choice for a remake, actually.
ReplyDeleteglad you approve, Debs :)
DeleteThe plot for Jupiter Ascending sounds really cliched. :\
ReplyDeleteyes, because we have movies on intergalactic queens every day in cinemas :PPP
DeleteDRIFT looks very interesting... and Vin Diesel as the new Kojak??? I can TOTALLY see it! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Dezzy~ #muah <3
merry Christmas, Lee, don't forget to come back later this evening to read my DEZZY'S CHRISTMAS MAGIC guest post at NO, REALLY YOU CAN EAT IT blog :)
DeleteOh the dreckitude that is Sam Worthington... Blech! This trailer only made me shake my head in wonder that this guy works in film. ;)
ReplyDeleteyes, he should work in my bedroom not on film..
