$100 MILLION TO HUGH JACKMAN
TO PLAY 'WOLVERINE' AGAIN
In superhero news today, rumour has it that Hugh Jackman has been offered outrageously huge $100 million to play WOLVERINE in next four movies in the X MEN 
franchise! He's already played the clawed superhero in seven movies! That news follows the info on Christian Bale being offered equally shocking $50 million to co-star in SUPERMAN VS BATMAN! But since he vowed never to return to Batman's costume, the next candidate could be Orlando Bloom who is apparently studio's favourite to join Henry Cavill in the film.
SINGING DRAGONS FROM MUPPETS SCRIBE
Meanwhile, 'Collider' reports that Bret McKenzie, THE MUPPETS songwriter, is planning a "Labyrinth" style live-action fantasy musical! He is apparently preparing the comedy musical with MUPPETS co-writer and director James Bobin. Imagined as a mix of MUPPETS and PRINCES BRIDE, the film would have singing dragons and monsters!

SYFY'S 'HIGH MOON' SHOW CASTS
Over at SyFy they're busy too: they've just cast lead actors for their new science fiction show HIGH MOON, Bryan Fuller’s series which will 
explore what happens when the countries of Earth establish colonies to mine the moon’s resources and discover a new form of life. Jake Sandvig (Easy A) and Chris Diamantopoulos are the lead stars - Sandvig is an American astronaut investigated for engaging in possible espionage and sabotage when a giant blast goes off near an area where he was working. Diamantopoulos is going to portray Marty’s older brother, a chief investigator for the American federal government who he has been dispatched to the moon to figure out who caused the moon explosion.
Nice article. Hugh Jackman will be WOLVERINE till they reboot the franchise, so it is only fair to offer him but loads of cash till then. I like Syfy shows like Defiance but hate the Movie projects. HIGH MOON sounds promising, and the name is catchy.
ReplyDeleteglad you liked it, Dave, there wasn't much material today, so I'm relieved it went good in the end :)
DeleteWhat? You don't like Sharknado? :PP
I watched the whole DEFIANCE season one, but was disappointed in a way. SyFy always has a doze of cheap trash in all of their programmes :( Second season of DEFIANCE should be dynamic with new mayor and Earth Republic taking over the town.
Wolverine. YUMMY STUFF.
ReplyDeletestop licking the screen :)
Deleteyeah... i cannot see
Deletelololololololololol.
Deleteit's not really sanitary....
DeleteTake the money, Hugh. TAKE THE MONEY!
ReplyDeletetake it all the way!
DeleteHollywood is so stupid. I'd play Wolverine for a mere ten million. A bargain!!
ReplyDeletepfft, you're expensive,sister. I'd do that job and many others for mere one million.... hell, most people could buy my services for a thousand dollars too :)
DeleteWell, I would need extra funding for the expensive manicures that come with the job, obviously! Though I suppose I'd save on hair removal...
DeleteWolverine does have tough claws to maintain :)
Deletefor a second I thought it'd be for just one movie. That would be a lot for just one actor
ReplyDeleteway too much for any actor even one that good
Deleteif they could just get wolverine where he needs to be as the character we know, they were going the right way then... not.
ReplyDeleteoh, i am sending rutger hauer over to do yard work for you and then make you a nice cup of tea... he was weird in the early films.
he and Claus Kinski have always scared me to death... and Tina Turner in her MAD MAX costume :) But I do love Tina....
DeleteHow many more superhero movies must we suffer through? There must be a creativity strike in Hollyweird.
ReplyDeletethey will spend them all sooner or later :)
DeleteI think he makes a good Wolverine tbh. The stories need to be just a bit better.
ReplyDeleteOrlando as Batman wtf? I can't think of anyone less suited for the role to clean looking imo
that seems to be the general opinion on Orly Bloom :)
DeleteOrlando Bloom as Batman........horrifying!
ReplyDeletehe should just keep walking dogs :)

Hugh should get that money for all they put him through playing Wolverine. LOL Orlando is a big no for Batman. He's too thin and pretty for Bruce Wayne, esp going against Henrilcious, that big buff man. ;)
ReplyDelete'tis true, Melsy :) Poor Hugh....
DeleteOrly looks quite yum these days: http://cdn04.cdn.socialitelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/16/shirtless-orlando-bloom-nyc-07162013-lead-600x450.jpg
I think for 100 million I'd Wolverine also! Great actor Hugh Jackman
ReplyDeleteI just saw his last movie , superb .
Cheers
still haven't seen this year's WOLVERINE, Vincent, was it any god?
DeleteIt's sad that Christian Bale has declined to continue being Batman..he's amazing in it. I just can't imagine Orlando Bloom as the dark knight.
ReplyDeletethey will find someone in the end :)
DeleteI've having a hard time seeing Orlando Bloom as Batman. It's probably because I loved him in Pirates so much. Hmmmm. Cheers for a fantastic remainder of your week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Breena, hope your week is good!
DeleteOrlando Bloom as Batman...I don't think so!!!
ReplyDeleteEverybody seems to think so :)
DeleteThat's a whole lotta green to play Wolverine! And No to Orlando as Batman!
ReplyDeletewe do love whole lotta green
DeleteHave to agree that Orlando is no Batman. But that Jake person is yummy looking ;)
ReplyDeletehe does seem like someone the ladies would like :)
DeleteAgain, Dez, I must commend you on the pretty pictures you so kindly share with us:)
ReplyDeleteI wonder why Bale doesn't want to do Batman.
WWIII sounds intriguing.
Have a pleasant evening.
somebody should really hire me as a photography and art editor of a glossy magazine :)
Delete$100 million to do a movie? Whoa! I think I'm in the wrong business!
ReplyDeletewe are in totally wrong businesses :)
DeleteHoly smokes?! That is a huge amount of Presidents!
ReplyDeleteOrlando is no Batman! So Bale bailed?!
Gorgeous Morons sounds fun :D
Hope you are doing well Dezzy!
I also think GORGEOUS MORONS could be fun if the cast the right actors :)
DeleteI can't picture Orlando as Batman.
ReplyDeleteGood for Hugh.
we do love when Hugh is happy :)
DeleteYou know, if you think about it, that's only 25 million per film, so its a lot, but think of all the money the studio is going to make!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope he does it. I love Hugh as Wolverine!
yep, it's just like when Celine Dion got $100 million to sing in Las Vegas, but it was a multipleyear contract. Yet, Vegas earned gazillions with her singing in the city!
