Take a break MGM!

The Weekend Box Office results:

1. MIB 3
2. Marvel's The Avengers
3. Battleship
4. The Dictator
5. Chernobyl Diaries

Now to the movie news for this week:

• Tom Cruise climbs aboard the remake of The Magnificent Seven. To me this isn't a shock that MGM wants to remake some of their classics. I am kind of mad that they are working on the remakes for  RoboCop, WarGames, Death Wish, Carrie and Poltergeist. But why would put Tom Cruise in a Western and make a western in a time where westerns are not popular? They just need to stop making movies until they come up with an original idea.
• Some recent news has rumored Christopher Nolan to be the writer of the Batman reboot after The Dark Knight Rises. Yes, you read that right. DC wants to reboot the Batman Series after The Dark Knight Rises so that they can have the Batman they want for the Justice League story. But Why?
  This has to be one of my favorite set photos from the film:
  
• Iron Man 3 has just started production and already has good news. The film has an increased budget, it went from $140 Million to $200 Million. Also Jon Favreau will be returning as Happy Hogan, Tony Stark's bodyguard.
• G.I. Joe: Retaliation has been pushed to a March 2013 release date so that it can be converted into 3D. Its not like I was going to see the movie anyways. This just gives me more of a reason not to go and see it.

This weeks trailer releases:

• Teaser for The Watch:
  
• Trailer for The Great Gatsby remake:
  
  I don't like this at all! Its like the version with Paul Rudd needed to be remade. The bad thing is it will be in 3D! Another reason for me to hate 3D!
• The Red Band trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter:
  
  
• Trailer #3 for  Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter:
  
  
• The Trailer for On The Road:

MOVIE OVERLOAD!!!

As always, the Weekend Box Office results:

1. Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
2. John Carter
3. Project X
4. Silent House
5. Act of Valor

The Movie news for this week:

• The script for Bill and Ted 3 has been completed. It is said to be Excellent. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves are back for the movie. Now the production has to wait to be green lighted.
  
  
• The RobotCop reboot will be distributed by Sony, will be directed by José Padilha, and  Joel Kinnaman will play Officer Alex J. Murphy/RoboCop. Depending on what way they will be going with this reboot, it might end up being a good movie.
  
  
• Josh Trank, Chronicle, is in talks with Sony about a Venom spin-off movie from the Spider-Man movies. My question is how this will effect The Amazing Spider-Man movie. Will it be the venom from Spider-Man 3 or will it be a part of The Amazing Spider-Man reboot? Also with Sony having Josh Trank rumored for the Fantastic 4 reboot, which project would they do first. So, until anything is set in stone I hope everything turns out right.
  
  
• Epic Space map from Prometheus:
  

• The Muppets DVD/Bluray release trailer is a spoof of the Hunger Games. Check it out below:
  
• Etan Cohen, Men in Black 3, will make his directorial debut by working on Paramount’s Boy Scouts vs. Zombies. I have heard a few things about this movie and it seems like it could be a good movie. It sounds weird, but it is a horror comedy with Zombies and Boy Scouts.
  
  
• The first image from Disney's Lone Ranger movie has been released. Yet another weird costume for Johnny Depp to wear. Check out the image below:
  
  
  
• Max Landis, screen writer of Chronicle, is working on the sequel. No word yet if Josh Trank will be back to direct the sequel.
  
  
• Joss Whedon is already talking about how he would approach Avengers 2. He would like to dive into the characters more and tell more of a story then Wow you with the bigger is better approach. If The Avengers is what it is hyped up to being, I wouldn't mind a sequel with Joss Whedon's name on it.  The Avengers will be the longest movie Marvel and  Joss Whedon has ever done. Originally the movie was over 3 hours long. After  Joss Whedon cut 45 minutes it is now a healthy 2 hours and 15 minutes.  Joss Whedon and Marvel are both happy with that.
  
  
• Confirmed by Viacom: Mission Impossible 5 is on its way. No word yet on who will be back.
  
  
• Arnold Schwarzenegger now has an Anthem. Check it out below:
  
  This was tweeted to me and I thought I should post it. It was made by the same guy that did The Stallone song.
  
  
• Stallone still wants to do a fifth installment to the Rambo franchise. He is talking about John Rambo fighting Mexican cartels. He also says that it will be like a rehash of the First Blood story. I think the franchise needs to be left as it is.
  
  
• Rumor: Tron 3 is in development. I dont know if I am suppose to like this or not.
• A new  featurette for The Hunger Games has been released. Check it out below:
