Bruce Willis is really hard to kill!

As always, the Weekend Box Office Results:.
  1. Act of Valor
  2. Tyler Perry's Good Deeds
  3. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
  4. Safe House
  5. The Vow
Now the Movie news for the week:
  • William Fichtner, The Dark Knight and Prison Break, has replaced Dwight Yoakam as a villain in  Gore Verbinski’s The Lone Ranger.  Dwight Yoakam had to back out of the film due to  scheduling issues.  William Fichtner is used to playing a villain type role and I think this could be a good role for him.
  • The role of John McClane Jr. has been cast for A Good Day to Die Hard, aka Die Hard 5.  Jai Courtney, an Austrailan Actor from the show  Spartacus: Blood and Sand, will be playing the role of Bruce Willis's son. I don't if they are bringing him in to take over as lead or just to make another sequel.
    Here is a picture from a screen test with father and son:

  • Set photos from Start Trek 2 have been released and they show little of the upcoming sequel to the 2009 Blockbuster. The only thing that I thought was cool was Spock using the Vulcan Death Grip on  Benedict Cumberbatch.
    Check out the picture below:

    Also J.J. Abrams has confirmed that Star Trek 2 is being filmed in IMAX format. Personally, id rather see a film in IMAX format instead of 3D. 3D is not worth the extra money (or migraine.) I have seen only one film in IMAX format and that was Inception. It was worth the extra money and to me made the film look better. I am a huge Star Wars Fan, but I dont plan on seeing any of the films in 3D, except for the first 20 minutes of Episode 3 and and the Original Trilogy.
  • The Hunger Games is beating Twilight Eclipse in the sense of advanced ticket sells and it still has a month to go. I am not a huge fan of The Hunger Games, but I may end up seeing it. Especially if this movie can bet the crap out of any Twilight record!

  • Rumor: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson might play Hercules in Brett Ratner's Hercules movie.
  • A new trailer for The Avengers is to be released online on  February 29th. I will make sure to find it and post it as soon as I watch it.

    Something Catchy to get you to click this link!!!

    As I always on the Monday blog, I post the Weekend Box Office Results:
    1. Underworld Awakening
    2. Red Tails
    3. Contraband
    4. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
    5. Haywire
    Now onto the movie news for this week:
    • The Lone Ranger movie to start filming in New Mexico this March. You know, the movie that has been talked about by Disney for at-least 5 years. Armie Hammer will play John Reid/The Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp will play Tonto.
    • George Lucas is returning to his roots. Right after his newest movie, Red Tail, opens in theaters he announces he will no longer do Blockbuster film-making and return to experimental film-making. This does not account for the Star Wars Saga he is releasing back into theaters as a 3D set. He also states that he will come back if some how Indiana Jones 5 does end up happening.
    • The Expendables 2 will now be PG-13 thanks to Chuck Norris. He insisted that the Fowl language from the film be removed or he would not be apart of the project. This was back when he just got the script and was offered the role. As you can tell, they changed the script and he is still apart of the project. I wouldn't think that this is a bad thing. I mean, it opens up the movie to a wider audience and allows more money to be made.
    • Kristen Wiig is not coming back for Bridesmaids 2 and now the sequel may not be made. The concept of the sequel without Kristen Wiig seemed good, but Judd Apatow now does not want to move forward with the project. Unless he and his cronies can make a good concept happen.
    • Rumor: Hancock 2 may happen and Will Smith is still interested.
    • President of Marvel Studios production Kevin Feige says The Red Skull will not be the main villain  in 'The Avengers'. He also says he may show up in future movies.

    QOTD: Could a PG-13 Expendables 2 make it at the movies with Chuck Norris?
