areaseven Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Why even bother if there will be no Queen music? Mark Protosevich Hired to Rewrite Matthew Vaughn's Flash Gordon for FOX Quote
Dynaman Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 They could use the music from the Buster Crabbe serials... I would like to see FG redone, or maybe even Buck Rogers - the old TV show wasn't exactly good but it wasn't total trash (ok, some of it certainly was, second season worst of all) but it did have Erin Grey who would have been a great choice to play Misa...

big F Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I'd always hopped that after they were done with the re worked BSG that they'd tackle Buck Rodgers. Quote

areaseven Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 It couldn't have come at a worse time. David Bowie's Labyrinth Gets a Reboot with Guardians of the Galaxy Co-Writer Quote
Dynaman Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 It couldn't have come at a worse time. David Bowie's Labyrinth Gets a Reboot with Guardians of the Galaxy Co-Writer That "Smell Bad". Times have changed and I doubt they will be able to get anywhere near the charm of the original but a remake of it does not seem too offensive - other than David Bowie just dying - even that I give a little bit of a pass on since I heard rumors of this before he died. How they will do the music for a new one is the real question - it is like Flash Gordon without Queen music. Quote
big F Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 That "Smell Bad" How they will do the music for a new one is the real question - it is like Flash Gordon without Queen music. The bad smell will be the Bog of Eternal Stench, probably where this reboot will go. But as long as they don't go and use a boy band to do the music. Quote
Einherjar Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 It's not big news, but I got a chuckle at the picture Crunchyroll decided to use. A pretty obscure reference these days, but still relevant. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/02/10-1/live-action-sonic-the-hedgehog-movie-planned-for-2018 Quote
big F Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 That will likely go the same way as all previous attempts at that sort of thing with the exception of who frammed roger rabbit. That was only because the cartoon element was a plot device. Quote

mechaninac Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) This is an abomination against cinema. --snip-- I think you're being far too kind.

505thAirborne Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Watching that Ben-Hur trailer made me think of this. Not the entire clip but the parts on Prince of Persia, Exodus and Gods of Egypt. Quote

Roy Focker Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Does this movie take place before or after Morgan Freeman helps Kevin Costner go to England? Quote
big F Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 So it has CGI ships, CGI landscapes and CGI horses? But sadly not CGI actors, lets hope the script is as wooden as a chariot wheel. Quote
electric indigo Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Watching that Ben-Hur trailer made me think of this. Not the entire clip but the parts on Prince of Persia, Exodus and Gods of Egypt. Behold Jack Houston's (Ben Hur) bio from IMDB: "The 6th Marquess's mother, Jack's great-grandmother Sybil Sassoon, was of Ashkenazi Jewish and Iraqi Jewish-Indian Jewish descent, and through her, Jack is a descendant of David Sassoon, the treasurer of Baghdad between 1817 and 1829, and of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, who founded the Rothschild banking dynasty."

Marzan Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Etan Cohen is writing and directing a remake of The Cannonball Run. Why? I have no idea. The weirdness never stops in Hollywood. Burt Reynolds will probably have a cameo and they will probably get Menudo to reform to sing the title song too. Quote

areaseven Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Daisy Ridley has been in talks to play Lara Croft. http://www.ew.com/article/2016/03/21/daisy-ridley-lara-croft-tomb-raider-reboot-talks She's absolutely perfect. Back when Tomb Raider was a thing before Angelina Jolie ruined it all for us, I was hoping for Catherine Zeta-Jones to play Lara Croft. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) She looks like Keira Knightley. Plus Lara Croft is not flat chested. Edited March 22, 2016 by sh9000 Quote
Duke Togo Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Plus Lara Croft is not flat chested. Seriously, dude? Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Seriously, dude? Just saying. B00bs or GTFO! Just kidding, I think Daisy would be outstanding in the role. I'm just hoping she doesn't (1) become Hollywood's latest "it" girl and get tossed in every big budget trash that gets produced or (2) decide to only do obscure art house films, a nice balanced career would be ideal (IMO). -b.

anime52k8 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 She's absolutely perfect. Back when Tomb Raider was a thing before Angelina Jolie ruined it all for us, I was hoping for Catherine Zeta-Jones to play Lara Croft. I think she's a poor choice for original Laura, but then again original Laura was kind of terrible. Daisy is reboot Laura to a T and that's great because the reboot Tomb Raider games are amazing.

TangledThorns Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Daisy Ridley is an amazing actress but casting her as Lara seems too easy, I'd like to see a fresh face in that role. Quote
