CELINE DION TO SING FOR
"THE MUPPETS ... AGAIN!" SEQUEL
I've recently told you how I like the returning trend of big music stars singing promotional songs for blockbuster movies, and after we've recently seen Adele singing for SKYFALL, Leona Lewis for AVATAR, Mariah Carey for OZ GREAT AND POWERFUL and now Beyonce singing "Rise Up" for EPIC, the biggest pop star in history Celine Dion will again sing a movie song after her glorious success with "My Heart Will Go On" for TITANIC. She will now sing a theme song for MUPPETS ...AGAIN! Her song "Something So Right" will appear in next year's sequel in which Miss Piggy, Animal and the company will get caught up with a diamond thief called Constantine (played by British comedian Ricky Gervais) - a doppelgänger for Kermit - while on their world tour. Celine Dion is currently finishing her 25th album to be titled WATER AND A FLAME and she is also continuing her residence in Las Vegas where she is to sing in her own palace till 2019 for a head spinning salary! Her previous three year contract with Caesars Palace (which built Coloseum Theatre just for her) was apparently worth $100 million!
EVAN PETERS IS QUICKSILVER
IN X MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
And while we have rumours that Saoirse Ronan might join AVENGERS 2 playing Scarlet Witch in Joss Whedon's sequel, X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST has stolen Scarlet's brother Quicksilver for their own superhero gallery. In Bryan Singer's film he will be played by Evan Peters from AMERICAN HORROR STORY! This complicates things a lot since Whedon has announced recently that both Scarlet and her twin brother Quicksilver will appear in AVENGERS 2 but it seems that Fox who is producing X-MEN has the rights on those two characters. They can apparently appear in AVENGERS but under their real names Pietro and Wanda Maximoff and cannot be portrayed as mutants! Quicksilver is Magneto's son, who has the power of super-human speed. X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and Hugh Jackman!

ROSAMUND PIKE IN
RETURN TO SENDER THRILLER
British actress Rosamund Pike, whom we've seen as queen Andromeda in WRATH OF THE TITANS epic, has joined new thriller RETURN TO SENDER which already has Shiloh Fernandez and Nick Nolte in the cast. The story follows a small town nurse (Rosamund Pike) who goes on a blind date with a mysterious man (Shiloh Fernandez), and suffers a life-altering event shortly thereafter. Nick Nolte plays her father. We shall watch Pike next year in HECTOR AND THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS about a psychiatrist who searches the globe to find the secret of happiness. That one has a stellar cast: Toni Collette, Christopher Plummer, Simon Pegg, Jean Reno! She will again star with Toni Collette and also with Pierce Brosnan, Imogen Poots, Sam Neill and Aaron Paul in A LONG WAY DOWN which follows four people who meet on New Year's Eve while trying to commit suicides and form a surrogate family to help one another weather the difficulties of their lives.
I liked the new muppets movie
ReplyDeletesoon to be the old one :)
DeleteDepending on who you ask, Celine Dion is either Canada's gift to the world or its curse on the world!
ReplyDeleteI do not understand how could she ever be a curse? She's not a superficial pop tart like these that we have today, nor a screeching diva like Carey or a bad role model like Whitney was or Rihanna is. She has amazing clear voice and tones of songs which are not offensive nor stupid, but tender and emotional.
DeleteRosamund Pike mmmmmmmm. So If they can't be portrayed as mutants what the point of them being there....Don't get the logic.
ReplyDeleteI've no idea, Whedon spoke about it today again, but he refuses to mention the problem with X MEN.
DeleteFox really has a talent for stuffing things up...
ReplyDeleteThey do have a naughty streak in their foxy tails :)
Deletewait i don't remember that first lady being so hot...
ReplyDeleteDezzy makes everyone look hotter, it's my magical power.... or one of many :)
DeleteI don't think Fox can make much ado as Marvel is owned by Disney, lock, stock and two smoking guns. But hey, you never know.
ReplyDeleteNot much into X-Men, I prefer Avengers.
As far as I got it Fox has bigger rights since those two characters have originated from X MEN and Fox has rights on the mutants who went over to Avengers only later :)
DeleteShe's the biggest pop star in history? She looks kind of skinny to me heh heh. Okay, the Titanic didn't sink because she started singing. It was the captain's fault, nay, the designer's. Well, somebody's. Great song, wonderful voice. I'm all for professionals doing the job. I love Christopher Plummer, too, especially in THIS scene. It's my favorite poem. How are you today, Dezzy?
ReplyDeleteCould be better, thanks for asking. Having my mood swings since I'm out of work and at an important and crucial crosspoint in my dezzy life.
DeleteNo job.... Sorry to hear that Dezzy. Crosspoints...hmmmm well at least you recognize them and not after the fact as in my case. Good luck. Put on your happy shirt and choose wisely.
ReplyDeleteyep, that's why I told you it's always a deeper shade of blue in my neck of the woods. Thanks to the horrid world crises which hit the publishing industry too (it usually suffers the most since people first stop buying books) I've been without a book for more than six months now :( and there's no book on the horizon either... After 30 books behind me I'm thinking of switching careers eventhough I've been great in this one :(
