WIN $50 IN MOVIE TICKETS IN HOLLYWOOD SPY MAGICAL CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY! NEW POSTERS FOR '47 RONIN' EPIC WITH KEANU REEVES & RINKO KIKUCHI! ED HELMS TO LEAD 'NAKED GUN' COMEDY REMAKE

ED HELMS TO STAR
IN 'NAKED GUN' COMEDY REMAKE
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.

NEW '47 RONIN' POSTERS
 KEANU REEVES AS A SAMURAI!
Today, you can also check out new posters for this month's epic adventure 47 RONIN which will samurai its way into cinemas on Christmas day! From ancient Japan's most enduring tale, the epic 3D fantasy-adventure 47 RONIN is born. Keanu Reeves leads the cast as Kai, an outcast who joins Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada), the leader of 47 outcast samurai. Together they seek vengeance upon the treacherous overlord who killed their master and banished their kind. To restore honour to their homeland, the warriors embark upon a quest that challenges them with a series of trials that would destroy ordinary warriors. The cast also includes Rinko Kikuchi and Tadanobu Asano!

    I've see the trailer for Ronin and seen Frozen. Can't wait for Smaug. Maybe after the holidays.

    On a local movie review program, they were saying great things for the new Walter Mitty film coming out.

  7. MelanieDecember 16, 2013 at 4:24 PM

    OK. First of all. ANOTHER remake? Is it really that difficult to come up with an original idea?

    OH 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??

    I 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.

    The 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!
      I'm not interested in the remake either, but if anyone can pull it of it's Ed Helms

    2. UnknownDecember 17, 2013 at 1:57 AM

      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.

    3. DEZMONDDecember 17, 2013 at 2:33 PM

      Didn't Steve Martin play Cleauso in the recent remake? :)

    Don'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!
