MARVEL'S BLACK PANTHER?
You have probably already heard the hot news: Vin Diesel is apparently in secret negotiations to take the role of BLACK PANTHER! And it's not a gossip, since Vin revealed at his own Facebook page that Marvel has requested a meeting with him and that his fans will easily guess what for. He might be wanted for some of the roles in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

ESCAPE PLAN TRAILER
SYLVESTER STALLONE & ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
Well, it is official - fallen action stars from the 80's and 90's are back and it appears they have an ESCAPE PLAN! Check out the first trailer for new action film in which two old 
action rivals Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger form a team together. The story follows Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone), a security expert framed for a crime and sent to the very prison he designed. With the help of longtime inmate Swan Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Ray hatches a plan to break out of this one-of-a-kind floating prison at sea, and clear his name. The cast also includes James Caviezel, Vincent D'Onofrio, Sam Neill, Vinnie Jones, and that nasty rapper 50 Cent and they're all ready to put their ESCAPE PLAN into reality this October!
I'll pass on a remake of Annie (ugh - why?), and I think there are a lot of other heroes who deserve movie treatment ahead of Black Panther (Moon Knight and Dr. Strange top my list), but I am excited about Escape Plan.
ReplyDeleteyep, especially since ANNIE is being produced by Will Nepotism Smith :(
DeleteDR STRANGE and PANTHER have been announced by Marvel for production in four or five years, methinks :) I've also heard talks that Vin could actually play SubMariner.
Great post today with good news all around. (except for the Annie remake) But, I do love Cameron Diaz and she is the only reason to watch Bad Teacher.
ReplyDeleteVin as Black Panther might work actually. It will be interesting to see what develops from these secret meetings with Marvel. For all we know, Marvel could just want to use him to play the "body" of a CGI character.
and I just love the trailer for Escape Plan!
yep, Cameron will do a god job in it, she's used to playing evil ladies in a funny way :)
DeleteYep, all is possible with Marvel :) But at least we know he won't be playing the raccoon in GUARDIANS :)
I like Cameron Diaz but Bad Teacher never interested me. Escape Plan might be fun. I just watched Rocky again yesterday and oh boy is Sylvester Stallone young!
ReplyDeleteyes, he was young once :P It is interesting to see how steroids have made all those action stars grow old in a freaky way from Sly to Arnie and Van Dame and even Dolph Lundgren. Not to mention Rourke, but that weren't steroids LOL
DeleteHey, glad to see there will be a black Daddy Warbucks in "Annie." I support colour-blind casting!
ReplyDeleteAnnie is also black in this version. It's because Will Smith and his wifey are producing it.
DeleteI'll probably pass on all of those...
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you, Dezzy. :)
me too, but I had no better news today :) I will have a NOAH spotlight with first pics tomorrow, though :)
DeleteWouh ! Escape excellent action movie !
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Demond
Greetings
Sorry Dezmond :)
Deleteglad you liked the trailer, Vincent :P
DeleteI don't think Vin Diesel would make a good black panther
ReplyDeletepffft... Vin would make anything good :PP
Deletei have to say, one i am not here and second... whhhhhhhaaaaatttt, it's tango and crash... part 2.
ReplyDeleteyep, I didn't recognise you either with that new purple hair.... Do you find it funny that Schwarzy is named Swan in the film?
DeleteWell, I'll have to see Stallone and Swartz. That's a must. As to Cameron Diaz--she's the better choice (IMHO). I love Sandra B, but Cameron seems to fit here.
ReplyDeleteshe has the naughty streak in her ;)
DeleteSandy can be naughty too. (What do you mean 'in your dreams'?)
Deleteshe can indeed, after all she was married to that tattooed idiot, wasn't she? God knows what kind of juicy sex life they had while it lasted....
DeleteI love Cameron I think would be a nice Annie, she is fun!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend Dezzy!!
you too, Gloria, hope the weather is not too cold down in Chile :)
DeleteThat's a very old Annie...
Deleteyep, Gloriacita was a bit confused due to eating too much blue berries :)
DeleteVin Diesel would make a great Black Panther. Diaz is an interesting choice for Hannigan. I'd like to see how that works out.
ReplyDeleteI think so too, Sherry :) On both points!
DeleteDon't you mean pink panther? :p
Deletehe would look good in pink too, especially if he shows us his panther.....
Delete:P
DeleteHello Dezz! Long time time no see. :)
ReplyDeleteI checked this blog only a few times these past several months.
HOLLYWOOD SPY looks fantastic. So many things to read and see. I was much more informed when I read this blog every day or so.
I'm pretty sure Vin is not in talks for the role of Black Panther. That character if African by birth. To cast a non-black actor in that role would create such an uproar in certain circles and communities. Even that unfortunate (ethnic) cast for The Last Airbender would seem like a neighborhood squabble compared to this.
Perhaps Vin could become SubMariner like you suggested. That is, if movie rights for that Marvel character aren't tied to those of Fantastic Four (Fox Movies holds those if I'm not mistaken).
It's a tricky business, those rights, contracts and all. :)
oh, Goodness, who's that dropping by my place again? :) Really haven't seen you in gazillion years, Bels. Missed you! Hope you're fine and well!
DeleteGlad you think HOLLYWOOD SPY looks fantastic, you're the best judge since you are THE ORIGINAL and THE FIRST reader, follower and friend of the site :) I hope we've progressed over the years and that you can see some development :)
Vin IS actually a black actor ... sort of :) If I remember correctly either his father or mother are black and I know that his stepmom or stepdad are African. But if Annie can suddenly become black :) why wouldn't a Black Panther become a Light Brown one or Olive Panther :) It really is about the charisma of the actor not the skin colour.
It is, however, possible he will be the SubMariner since he did offer a picture which indicates something of that kind.
You wrong it's a reason why they call him the black panther
DeleteBlack Panther should go to an African American. He was black in the Fantastic Four comic books. Sigh. I was hoping that he'd play Thanos. I think he'd be a much better villain than a hero and Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet is just awesome.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Annie: no one can fill the shoes left by Carol Burnette.
I think that either Lee Pace or Benicio Del Toro are Thanos, since they're both in the film in unspecified villain roles.
DeleteAgreed on Carol, she was outstanding!
I bet Cameron Diaz will make a delightfully evil Mrs. Hannigan, although I doubt she'll be wearing what she is in her picture. I adore Vin Diesel and can't wait for the new Riddick movie -- but Black Panther? Really? He's not black and doesn't look like the chief of any African league. They need The Rock for that. I bet the Arnold/Sly movie will be a fun romp! :-)
ReplyDeleteyep, you can't really run an orphanage in a miniskirt ;)
DeleteRock isn't black either :) Rock is from Hawaii and Vin is of a mixed race.
I don't know, maybe because it's late and I'm a bit tired, but the movie Escape Plan isn't sparking my interest at all. But Vin D on the other hand... ;)
ReplyDeleteit doesn't spark my interest, eithr, Elise :)
DeleteIt should be illegal to have legs that good!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend, Dezzy :)
yep, some people got it all :( Lets trash them with vicious gossips about them :)))
DeleteSandy! How can you do this to me? And Stallone wad framed? Again?
ReplyDeletewas :(
DeleteLet me guess... you're tanning too... ;)
DeleteI'm afraid I hate sun, Grumpy, maybe because I live close to Transylvania so I inherited Dracula's absence of love for the scorching rays and selfbaking and roasting :)
DeleteWhile I am not huge on remakes of some of my childhood favorite movies, I do think Cameron will do a fabulous job in the Annie remake!
ReplyDeleteshe will fantabulous :)
DeleteI'm thinking I'm going to pass on both! I wonder how Will Smith will work his son into this one!
ReplyDeletehe tried to work his talentless brat of a daughter in it but didn't succeed since the public mostly hates her
DeleteThere's only been one Stallone movie I didn't like (I think it was The Specialist). Eh, everyone has at least one dud, right? Escape Plan is totally peaking my interest.
ReplyDeleteProbably because she's spent so much time with voice overs in animation, but I really see Cameron Diaz as a better fit for Ms Hannigan than Sandra Bullock. If they'd even thought of Glenn Close though, Cameron could take a hike! Hmm, maybe I like Cameron so much cuz I see her as the younger Glenn Close. Both are versatile actors. Only the casting couch knows where either will show up next.
I love Vin Diesel; but behind the mask, does it really matter who plays the character?
......dhole
oh, Donnzie, but THESPECIALIST was probably the only of his films I liked - due to those hot scenes he and Sharon shared under the shower :)
