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.

Thanks for reading today's post, as always leave a comment down below about anything or the question of the day, which is: 

QOTD: Should a sequel be made for Rise of the Planet of the Apes?

Until Next Time,

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:
  
  

Thanks for reading today's post, as always leave a comment down below about anything or the question of the day, which is: 

QOTD: Are you ready for this summer in terms of movies?

Late and long Movie blog!

As always on the Monday blog, the Weekend Box Office Results:

1. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
2. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
3. Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
5. War Horse

And now onto the movie news:

• Lionsgate to continue the Saw Franchise. Saw 8 is really close to being made. Yet another Franchise that wont ever die!
• Sacha Baron Cohen signs on for role in  Les Misérables. I wonder how he does in a musical role?
• American Psycho being rebooted? This better just be a rumor or Christian Bale will start screaming at somebody else!
• As you already know Matt Damon will not be in the next Bourne movie, which is titled Bourne Legacy. They are starting fresh with a new character since they felt they beat the identity and  amnesia  part of the movies into the ground.  Jeremy Renner will play a Bourne like killer and the movie will be about  Treadstone from another agents point of view. From from I have heard and read Matt Damon will be back after this movie.
• Spider-man could never look more Awesome then in the picture above.
• A Robin Easter egg was found in the most recent Dark Knights Rises Trailer.
• Bill Murray reads the Ghostbusters 3 scripts, shreds it and sends it back with a note. Now the movie could move on with out him.
• Fast and Furious 6 and 7 is still on says Vin Diesel. How can they make them better in Europe? Easy, just bring in Jason Statham.
• Mission: Impossible 5 is being rushed by Paramount. Rushing never helps when making a good movie. It could hurt the sequel and even injure some of the actors. But the good thing is it might stop Tom Cruise from making Top Gun 2!
• Rumors are out the the Red Skull is in 'The Avengers'. Still a rumor, but he did not did in Captain America so it could happen.
• Paramount just confirmed Paranormal Activity 4. Yet another failure.

Thats all the movie news I have for today. This is a really long blog because I am catching up on what I have have missed. Dont for get to respond to the Question of the day which is:

QOTD: Could there be Ghostbusters 3 made without Bill Murray? If so, would it be any good?

Until Next time,
