Would Vin Diesel hit a women?

As always, the Box Office Results from last weekend:

1. Think Like a Man
2. The Pirates! Band of Misfits
3. The Lucky One
4. The Hunger Games
5. The Five-Year Engagement

Now on to the Movie news for the week:

• The setting/backdrop for Anchorman 2 has been reveled. It will revolve around the 24-hour news cycle in the late 1970's. They will be writing the story for the next three months, so we are going to have to wait until then to get any more news. I don't know about you, but i'm excited about this.
• Jason Statham is no longer being considered for Fast 6, a.k.a. Fast and the Furious 6, and is already getting replaced. Gina Carano, Haywire, will be taking his place as an unannounced character. My guess is she will play the Diplomatic Security Service Agent Luke Hobbs’, Dwayne Johnson, of Europe. This is a weird turn since the gang and Gina Carano's character will most likely have to fight at some point during the movie. Would Vin Diesel or Paul Walker really hit a girl? I hope not!
• The final trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man will be playing before The Avengers. This makes sense since the newest trailer for The Dark Knight Rises will be premiering there too. I can't wait to see either trailer and movie, but i'm most excited for The Avengers opening this Friday!
• The Wolverine, a.k.a. Wolverine 2, is planning to be shot in Japan and Australia. Japan is where they will be shooting the practical footage and Australia is where they will be shooting the staged footage. They have also announced that they might be shooting the movie in 3D. I honestly hope not! (I have still not seen a movie in the new type of 3D.) Filming can not start though until Hugh Jackman finishes with filming Les Misérables. The movie is still in line for a summer 2013 release.
• Josh Trank has officially been confirmed by Sony that he will be directing the Fantastic Four reboot. This is good news, since Chronicle was such a huge success. I hope that he does the series and characters justice in this go around.
• Top Gun 2 will be done before Mission: Impossible 5. Tom Cruise is attached to both projects, but now we know which one he will be doing first. For Top Gun 2, Jerry Bruckheimer is producing, Tony Scott is directing, and Peter Craig is writing the script.
• Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2 will start production this summer, says Fox. Why? Why must they make another movie to an already good story. Do they really have to connect it to the Planet of the Apes series? I don't think so. It should serve as a stand alone movie! Why can't they just leave a good thing alone?
• The Extended trailer for Prometheus has been release. Check it out below:
  
  
• The trailer for This is 40 has been release. Check it out below:
  
  (I seriously didn't know that Paul Rudd is 43 years old.)
• Here are my predictions of what will happen in The Avengers. I have read nothing about the movie that will spoil it for me. I have read the basics on the characters and timeline of the movie. So here we go:
• Somebody is going to steal the cosmic cube.
• There is going to be a big fight between Loki and Hulk.
• One of the Avengers is going to die.
• The movie will be filled with action.
• Something is going to change with Iron Man
• There is going to be a cameo in the movie. I don't know by who.
• They will have the movie end so that other movies can be made.
  Thats what I think is going to happen. Now lets see if i'm right about any of it.

Safe House is movie of the Week!!!

As always on the Monday post, the Box Office Results from last weekend:

1. Safe House
2. The Vow
3. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
4. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
5. This Means War

Now on to the Movie news for the week:

• Jonathan Liebesman, the director of  Battle Los Angeles, is in talks to try and reboot the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise again. The first version of this franchise was back in 1984 with the Live action Trilogy. Then came the CGI incident back in 2007. Now they want to try and do it again. As much as I would like to see it, I don't want them to destroy the Turtles again.

• Sony wants Brian Taylor, both Crank and Crank: High Voltage and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, to write and direct a  Live-Action Twisted Metal movie. Brian has been apart of some pretty good film, but I dont think this should happen. Sony also wanted to do a Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune movie, but fans shut that idea down before anything really happened. The only video game turned movie that turned out half way decent was Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Ok, and maybe the Resident Evil series if you can really count that. So, super fans and nerds, its time to shut Sony down again!

• Fast and the Furious parts 6 and 7 will not be filmed back to back. Part 6 will be in Europe and will start production in May. All this news come from Dwayne Johnson who will be apart of the next film at least. I am still waiting for them to announce Jason Statham as apart of the cast.

• Rumor:  X-Men: First Class’s sequel will mainly focus on Magneto's change from the hero he could be to the Villian he really is.

• Rumor: Transformers 4 will have less humans and be more like the last hour of Dark of the Moon.

• Fox wants to reboot Zorro and change it to a post apocalyptic future. Gael Garcia Bernal is set to play Zorro.

• Your Doorman is Intimidating:
  

• I Am Legend 2 is going to happen. They are offering Will Smith to come back for the sequel and it is all up to his decision. It this may seem weird to you since Will's Character died at the end of the film that might not be the ending they are going with. There was an alternate ending to the film which makes the film end in a better way. If you havent seen it before, check it out below:
  
I think if they stick with this ending for the beginning of the sequel that the movie will come out better. We will just have to wait and find out if Will Smith will come back.

• Rumor: Josh Trank, Chronicle, is in talks with a Chronicle sequel and a Fantastic 4 reboot.

• Rumor: Dean Parisot, Galaxy Quest, is in final talks to direct Red 2. You know, the movie about the  retired special ops agents that includes Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, and  Helen Mirren. All I have to say is, if they want to do this right they need to bring  Karl Urban back and have him as part of the group.

• Kick-Ass 2 will start filming this summer, but no clue if  Matthew Vaughn will be in the directors chair.  Matthew Vaughn is already set to direct the X-Men: First Class sequel in that time frame. To me Kick-Ass 2  is only worth filming if  Matthew Vaughn can return to direct.

Lastly, I was sent this picture this morning and it made me a little sad. This a picture of Heath Ledger as The Joker doing a kick over Christian Bale as Batman. The picture was fake, but it is still pretty cool.
