Movie News

[Monster Dave]

Over the past few days there has been some interesting news released in the movie industry and here's a summary for anyone interested:



1) Top Gun 2 is moving ahead - yeah...whowouldhavethought....and Cruise will be back in some manner as Maveric.

2) Mad Max Fury Road has been postponed (again).

3) Ridley Scott's Alien Prequel being helmed by Damon Lindelof of LOST will most likely have Natalie Portman playing the lead female role. There will be no return of Ripley. From what has been said, this is NOT a reboot, but a prequal to Alien in the truest sense. Hopefully, we'll find out what the deal was with the Space Jockey.

4) Everyone's favorite Highlander, Christopher Lambert, is in talks for Ghost Rider 2

5) New clips of Eric Stoltz as Marty Mcfly have been released on the net. If you didn't know, Eric was cast prior to Michael J Fox in Back to the Future.

6) Beverly Hills Cop 4 is still simmering on the back burner but simmering none the less.

7) Bourne 4 - no Matt Damon

8 ) Predators - was supposed to have a cameo at the end with Schwarzenegger but his schedule kept him from making the part. Plans are in works for Predators 2 to have him "passing the torch".

9) Expendables 2 - Sly says to expect to see everyone who he couldn't get in the first film and a few who were.

10) Ghostbusters 3 - Aykroyd and Ramis are rewriting the script - the good news is they wrote the first one too.

My wife prefers the Highlander on the right.


I will go see an Alien movie with Natalie Portman

Top Gun created a HUGE swell in recruitments in the 80s. I wonder if it will this time with more active theaters/hot spots around the globe.

The only reason Mad Max has been postponed again is because we've had too much rain down here and the outback is too green.

They'll have to get Kenny Loggins to come up with some new tunes to rock the new one!

Get real...  Some of us wanted to be Iceman!

But then we went back to the archives and found a real movie...

Because...

If I say it's safe to surf this beach, Captain, then it's safe to surf this beach.
