first casting rumours on FANTASTIC FOUR reboot! 'Variety' reports that GAME OF THRONES' Kit Harington has auditioned for Reed Richards or Mr. Fantastic lead role, along with Jack O'Connell (300 RISE OF AN EMPIRE) and Miles Teller, while Saoirse Ronan has auditioned for the role of Sue Storm along with Kate Mara and Margot Robbie.

CW'S GOES SF AGAIN IN
MARS 'COLONY' TV SHOW
After two new sf shows this season THE TOMORROW PEOPLE and STAR CROSSED, it seems that CW is venturing even further into the science fiction genre. They've just opted for another sf show COLONY which is, according to Deadline, a thriller about a group of explorers sent to colonize Mars, willing to leave their lives behind to brave the dangers of another planet, and the terrifying reality
they discover. It is inspired
by the story of 'The Lost Colony', the 16th century British settlement
on Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina, whose inhabitants
vanished without a trace, sparking a slew of theories about their fate.
The show will be written by ONCE UPON A TIME's Ian Goldberg.

I don't get the need for all these superhero reboots, especially when there's such a wealth of characters and teams they could be mining for the big screen.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it either, Bob, I generally cannot stand superhero flicks. Especially since I'm yet to see a really good superhero film....
DeleteYOUNG DETECTIVE DEE: RISE OF THE SEA DRAGON Just amazing !!!When we know that it is a film of Kuo - fu Chen master of the action movie, you can see it without hesitation
ReplyDeleteGreat Trailer Dezmond

DeleteI don't know if we need a new Fantastic Four
ReplyDeletewe don't, especially since the previous one had an amazing casting.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Four should go back to Marvel, so it can cross over with the Avengers.
ReplyDeletetoo many superhero crossovers lately, if you ask me, Dave. There are even mentions that WonderWoman might appear next to Supes and Batman in MAN OF STEEL sequel.....
DeleteThe CW is going to have to change their name to Syfy pretty soon. Or Tween or something.
ReplyDeleteas long as they don't make a tween zombie show, I'm fine :)
DeleteI think that Hollywood needs a reboot... or just a boot?
ReplyDeletea sharp heeled boot right in the... well, you know where :) :)
DeleteWhy is that pic of Ms. Ronan so creepy? Seriously, it looks like something out of the movie "Carrie". Yee Gads!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the tasty treat in Kit. Oh my , oh my, it took me a loooong time to get past him. ;)
Back into Hollywood world, sister? :)
DeleteWe really have used and abused that pic of Kit's far too many times, but what can I do? He has so very few of them....
Well, poo. Nothing to get me going here today. I guess you can't win them all.
ReplyDeletetwas a bad day in movie news....
DeleteThank you for the Kit photo. In fact, I think you should post that every Friday. :)))
ReplyDeleteAnd what a haunting photo of Saoirse too.
I do love that photo shoot of Saoirse, I already published her queen Elizabeth pic from it....
