CHANNING TATUM
Here's yet another remake in works: "Deadline" writes that
20th Century Fox is preparing a new version of
GUYS AND DOLLS musical classic from the 1950's! And apparently
Channing Tatum and
Joseph Gordon Levitt are wanted for the two lead roles! You probably remember that the original film had
Marlon Brando and
Frank Sinatra with the story following Nathan Detroit, a gambler trying to set up his own craps game, who bets his friend Sky Masterson that he can't convince the wholesome missionary Sarah Brown (Jean Simmons) to come to Havana with him.
Channing Tatum has proved his musical skills many times in his movies. You will see him next year in sf epic
JUPITER ASCENDING and also in the new sequels to G.I. JOE 4 and 21 JUMP STREET!
ARMIE HAMMER & TOM CRUISE
THE MAN FROM THE U.N.C.L.E. SCIENCE FICTION FILM
We shall see an interesting duo in another remake - the big screen
version of the 60s show
THE MAN FROM THE U.N.C.L.E. "Deadline" reports
that
MIRROR MIRROR and
THE LONE RANGER star
Armie Hammer might join
Tom
Cruise in the movie which will see Cruise playing Napoleon Solo and
Armie playing Illya Kuryakin, two agents working for the United Network
Command for Law Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.). In the classic show the story centred on U.N.C.L.E.'s battles with the Technological Hierarchy for
the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity
(T.H.R.U.S.H.). The film is being directed by
Guy Ritchie.
RYAN REYNOLDS & TARSEM
And I have yet another piece of info on hunky
Ryan Reynolds this week, but I'm sure you don't mind (winking at my ladies). As "Deadline" writes he might possibly join
SELFLESS science fiction thriller which could have amazing
Tarsem Sing (MIRROR MIRROR, THE CELL, THE FALL, IMMORTALS) as the helmer since he is currently negotiating to take the directing job. The unusual plot of the film follows a rich older man who pays to have his mind transferred to a younger man's body. The body he is transplanted into turns out to be the cadaver of man who was murdered. He soon finds himself being hunted down by the killers as he tries to figure out why his new body was murdered in the first place.
Hmmm, more remakes. No surprise there.
ReplyDeleteBut I do like the premise of that Reynolds film. I'm about ready to transplant my brain into a younger body too. :P
I've always wanted me a hunky body, wonder if we could abduct Chris Evans and steal his body for moi divine brain which deserves a divine body too :)
Deletei agree... no more remakes we get it hollywood, you don't want to pay for new ideas... i am waiting for the wizard of oz to be redone... it can all be in color and 3-d and... robots in disguise...
ReplyDeleteOh, I have a strange feeling the remake of Wizard of Oz will happen soon and that Mila Kunis and RAchel Weisz will star in it :PP
DeleteI know Weisz but will have to Google the other girl. Remake of the Wizard of Oz. I don't know if I would watch it, if/when they do.
DeleteThat was a joke, Ivy, OZ with Rachel and Mila was done this year and was a big blockbuster two months ago worldwide, I wrote about it dozens of times :)
DeleteI don't even remember what I blogged about two weeks ago.
Deleteabout couponing :P
DeleteGuy Ritchie did a great job of reinventing Sherlock Holmes -- it will be interesting to see what he does with The Man From UNCLE!
ReplyDeletehope it turns good, but I myself hated Sherlock because it was disrespectful towards the essence of Sherlock.
DeleteHOLY GOD YOU ARE KILLING ME, ABSOLUTELY KILLING ME DEZZY!!!! CHANNING AND RYAN IN THE SAME POST????? I NEED TO GO CHARGE UP THE BATTERIES IN THAT MAGIC BULLET. VRRRRRRRROOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletetoo much information, too much information :PPP
DeleteInformations for women this time? it seems that some girls enjoy it !
ReplyDelete(no problem for me : they are actors!)
Seriously: only remakes ??? the stories don't look very impressive ... or I'm very exigent.
(and I don't like to know too much about a movie:
if somebody tell me : it's a good movie, that's enough!)
yep, way too many remakes in Hollywood.
Deletewell, I like Joseph Gordon-Leavitt but I'm a little tired of remakes. Seriously, can't someone in Hollywood take a freaking chance on something original? As for Channing and Ryan, I'm afraid neither appeal.
ReplyDeleteHollywood is hooked on remakes.... even though none of them has been truly successful
DeleteWhoa this is one gorgeous post~
ReplyDeleteI must go back and read it...
I agree what is up with remakes?!
We need to bring firewalls down and give them our stories ;D lol
yep, we need to sell them some good stories :)
DeleteTom Cruise twists and distorts another beloved TV classic? Enough of the reboots, rehashes, and remakes already. It's already old.
ReplyDeletedon't think Hollywood is listening to us :(
DeleteI thought GandDs was a musical
ReplyDeletewho said it wasn't?
DeleteI like the sound of Selfless!
ReplyDeletecould be a good one, Ray
DeleteThe premise of Selfless sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteChanning has such a thick neck! lol
we do like good premises!
DeleteHe's been practising a lot :)
I loved the show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Why did they cast Cruise in it? Why do they cast him in anything-he's a looney toon.
ReplyDeleteGuys and Dolls looks good. A real surprise to see that one remade, but I'm up for it. Loved the original.
don't ask me, I'm still trying to discover and grasp why his movies are successful at the box office. Are people blind?
DeleteHope you're fine, darling, miss you!
I once paid $5 to have my mind transferred to a younger man's body. See where it got me.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that for $5 you get older body and younger brain, and only if you ain't cheap and pay more you get the opposite :)
DeleteMaybe I should have read the fine print. Now it all makes perfect sense. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Reynolds is a blue man,too. Or he is a good actor and he fooled me.
always read the fine print, Blue, always! The secret to survival is there....
DeleteReading the fine print is kind of tough in my case. The world around me trembles 24/7. Like looking through a fire.
ReplyDeleteI shall ask my smugglers to get you a new designer pair of glasses from Italy, Blue
DeleteIf that did the trick, I'd be the happiest guy in this room. :)
Deleteyou mean in this Imperial Court... we don't have rooms here, only Imperial chambers..... and boudoirs :)
DeleteNever thought I would say this, but Channing has been growing on me and him and JGL in the same film is incredible.
ReplyDeleteArmie in anything is terrific as well. He's such a cutie and so gentlemanly.
we do like them both :)
