ED HELMS TO STAR
Yet another remake announced over in Tinseltown will be a new remake
of famous 80's comedy NAKED GUN! THE HANGOVER comedian Ed Helms will
take over the role of clumsy detective Frank Drebin which made Leslie
Nielsen famous around the world. The original movies had three parts in the late 80's and early 90's earning almost $300 million in cinemas. You will also see Ed Helms with Paul Rudd in THEY CAME TOGETHER a romantic comedy similar to SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, and in STRETCH next to Patrick Wilson and Chris Pine, a film about a chauffeur who takes a job for a billionaire who makes his life hell.

I can't wait for 47 Ronin! It looks awesome from the trailer. And Keanu Reeves is a great actor.
ReplyDeleteThis last trailer for 47 RONIN really took my breath away, it has so many stunning epic scenes! Should be great fun watching it!
DeleteSome excellent movies coming out during these last two weeks of the year. Haven't been to see The Hobbit yet, but I'm going to try this week. :))
ReplyDeletePlease do :) If me was in USA I'd watch HOBBIT, RONIN and WALTER MITTY and FROZEN too and PHILOMENA!
DeleteI want to see Walter Mitty and Saving Mr. Banks. That one looked good too. :)
Deleteyes, indeed, Lu, lots of heartwarming films this month :)
DeleteI still haven't seen the first Hobbit film.
Deleteyou should, but it is a rather monotonous affair, Annzie
DeleteI don't regret not living in the US even if it means I can't enter your contest. Looking forward to 47 Ronin!
ReplyDeleteI hear you, Debs :) I'm hosting the giveaway and I'm not getting any tickets myself since I'm not in USA :) But I'm happy to share the tickets with my faithful visitors :)
DeleteYour are such a dear one Dezzy!
DeleteI'm cute as button :)
Delete47 Ronin does look epic.
ReplyDeleteI still need to go see The Hobbit, but time has been short for me lately.
a number of epic delights this December in cinemas, Dave
DeleteHi Dezzy,
ReplyDeleteAs always,reading your blog is a pleasure,as much as watching the photo's :-D I just watched the trailer for Ronin,its looks so amazing,looking forward to that one! (And The Hobbit) Heleen
Hope you will enjoy THE HOBBIT with the family, Heleen! :)
DeleteI've see the trailer for Ronin and seen Frozen. Can't wait for Smaug. Maybe after the holidays.
ReplyDeleteOn a local movie review program, they were saying great things for the new Walter Mitty film coming out.
Yep, or you might watch it over at Hawaii :)
DeleteI also like the looks of WALTER MITTY, seems like a very warm movie
OK. First of all. ANOTHER remake? Is it really that difficult to come up with an original idea?
ReplyDeleteOH well...
Now, 47 Ronin...hmmm...I saw the preview when I took the kids to Catching Fire. It could be really good. I'm just afraid, because Keanu may be pretty, but, well, he's not the best actor in the world, you know??
Yep, I know... hopefully he will do more fflying and sword fighting than talking :)
DeleteThat would be good! I can already hear his stupid voice in my head!
DeleteI wonder if he will have an Asian accent :)
DeleteFrom what I heard, he sounds just like Keanu always does. Surfer dude. There was not a lot of him talking though...hope for the movie, perhaps??
Deletea surfer samurai... that will be the first one :)
DeleteHe's such a dull actor and he never seems to "inhabit" the character.
DeleteHe reminds me of Brad Pitt in that way, dear
DeleteWhat an awesome contest!!! There are so many amazing movies I have yet to see starting with Dallas Buyers Club. I will probably pass on the remake of Naked Gun.
ReplyDeleteYep, Debs, so many lovely movies to watch in cinemas this December!
DeleteIsn't our Dezzy a doll for doing this for us!
Deleteand big thanks to MovieTickets,Com too :)
DeleteI know Keanu takes a lot of flack, but I have to say 47 Ronin is looking absolutely amazing. I think it may change some people's minds about him as an actor.
ReplyDeleteThe Naked Gun I'm not so sure about. It's such a classic, and I don't know that anybody can duplicate Leslie Nielsen's performance. I hope it works, because I'd love to see the series continue, but it's got some very high expectations to contend with.
I also think RONIN looks absolutely brilliant! Visually!
DeleteI'm not interested in the remake either, but if anyone can pull it of it's Ed Helms
The Hubby just watched the original Naked Gun 2 nights ago and Bob is right, that role belongs to Leslie. It's like having someone other than Peter Sellers play Inspector Cleauso.
DeleteDidn't Steve Martin play Cleauso in the recent remake? :)
DeleteDon't get... Naked! I am looking forward to Ronin 47, I like Reeves... he just a guy who happens to act, though the press whores... will relate this to The Matrix films. It will crash because of that, for me it looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt might crash because it hasn't had much of marketing so far... kinda like POMPEII too :( I hate when epic movies crash because they weren't advertized enough
DeleteKeanue Reeves, just shoot me darling. And Naked Gun doesn't need a remake either.
ReplyDeleteA very generous give away from you sweetykins. I'll shall post a link in my blog tomorrow.
Thanks, dear, it's a courtesy of MovieTickets.Com I'm just hosting :)
DeleteI'm commenting loads for entries now dear :)
DeleteI see, dear, you always have a cunning plan :)
DeleteI hope they didn't put all the good parts in the trailer of the 47 Ronin. Looks like an awesome movie!
ReplyDeleteMust make me a virtual adress in the States! :-D
Greetings
Peter
I think they just might have :) But it still looks amazing.
DeleteWhat can I tell you, Peter, Dezzy didn't get the tickets either :) Lucky Americans :)
Hello Peter!!!
DeleteHello Belgium :)
DeleteThe story of the 47 Ronin is THE MOST well known Japanese story of all time. I hope they embrace it over here in the States.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be awesome!
Hope they do, since it premiered over in Japan already and it hasn't been an overly huge success :(
DeleteIt's due to that horrid Keanu creature darling. The Japanese are far too sophisticated for a dolt like him :)
DeleteI think so too, and who wouldn't be slightly offended when Hollywood makes a film based on your national legend and puts American actor in the lead role?
DeleteIs this my old friend Dezz's famous Hollywood Spy site? It must be because the red carpet is out, the drinks are flowing and the penguins are at the door. I've been away so long the poor little guys almost didn't recognize me. Sorry I disappeared on you. I promise it won't happen again.
ReplyDelete47 Ronin looks fantastic, I can't believe they are remaking the Naked gun movies, blech. I do love your contest, it sounds exciting.
You're back? I do love my contest as well and what a better place for a movie tickets contest than HOLLYWOOD SPY
DeleteWhere have you been Melissa?
Delete47 Ronin looks very cool!
ReplyDeleteIt's fantabulous!
DeleteKeanu with a beard doesn't work for me... ;)
ReplyDeleteBut the trailer looks awesome.
And I can't even imagine a remake of the Naked Gun.
I can certainly imagine any remake if word naked is mentioned :)
DeleteI know three of the names. Think that's
ReplyDeletethe most I've gotten, so far.
Which three do you know Whisk?
DeleteKeanu most probably :)
DeleteHey Anne - Dezzy is correct, I know Reeves. And then ... Nielsen and Rudd. After that, I'm out.
DeleteWoohoo
DeleteI don't think they should remake the Naked Gun!!! Neilson is such a classic in that one!
ReplyDeleteHollywood is ever so silly :)
Deletenobody wants remakes, but yet they still do them
DeleteNice giveaway, dear Dez.
ReplyDeleteWinning would be grand!
DeleteGlad you like it, Sandra!
DeleteIt sure would, Annzie
A remake of the Naked Gun!? WTF!? Not cool man. Not cool!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I looked over at my husband and he had his eyes closed at the Ronin trailer the last time we went to the theater? I wanted to poke him in the face and tell him to pay attention! lol
Great giveaway too! Count me in :)
You will have to out comment me to win Theresa. I am the Supreme Master of Give Aways. Can you out comment me?
DeleteWhat? Why did he have his eyes closed? It is such a stunning trailer.
DeleteYou really is the queen of winning giveaways, Annzie :)
I luv free movies!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Dezzy :)
.....dhole
Me too Donna!
DeleteWho doesn't, Donna? :)
DeleteHere's another comment from me darling. As The Hubby will never see the inside of a cinema again, I would like my entries to be given to Mel. She's going through bad times right now and she could use a lift from a friend.
ReplyDeleteDarling, you do know you is a bit crazy, yes? :))
DeleteYour comments in Mel's name noted! I shall put the names of all who comment this week on all our posts in a hat and draw the winner on Saturday. If you comments ten times it means ten papers with your name in the hat :)
Mpi crazy? Surely you jest :)
DeleteJust a tinsy winsy bit crazy :)
DeleteLooking forward even more to the 47 Ronin, good luck with the competition!
ReplyDeletethanks, Fran!
DeleteThanks for the give away Dezzy ~ Checking out the other posts ~
