Crusade: Above is an early promo poster made back when this project was first planned. Poster is courtesy of 'Mystical Samurai Ninja of Always' with thanks to 'Mike77.' Also, here's a new story from Variety: Arnold Schwarzenegger is in serious talks to revive the epic action film "Crusade" with producer-financier Arnon Milchan. If a deal can be struck, Milchan likely would make the film under his overall arrangement at 20th Century Fox. It's unclear who Schwarzenegger and Milchan would choose to direct, though Paul Verhoeven is interested, five years after he nearly directed Schwarzenegger when the film was to be financed by Carolco. Long considered one of the best unproduced scripts of recent years, the Walon Green-penned "Crusade" has a fascinating history that ended up with Schwarzenegger himself owning the project. Schwarzenegger long has been expected to play the hero, Hagen, a reluctant warrior who begins the film as a prisoner set to die. He's freed when he burns the image of the cross into his back during a visit by the pope, and he's drafted to recapture Jerusalem. The 11th century drama has shades of both "Conan the Barbarian" and "Braveheart." Reindeer Games: Charlize Theron has finalized plans to star with Ben Affleck and Gary Sinise in "Reindeer Games," a crime drama directed by John Frankenheimer. Affleck plays a freshly paroled ex-con trying to get his life back on track when he's drawn into a casino robbery staged around the holidays. Theron has been cast for the female lead. The film was scripted by Ehren Kruger ("Arlington Road") and begins shooting in March. The Matrix: A new, full trailer has been released at the Official Site. The previous trailers have all been great, and this one supposedly is even better! Click below to see for yourself:
Spielberg Projects: 'TemplerSay' sends along some Spielberg news, some of which we might have heard before..or not: A week ago from
last Friday, Steven Speilberg was interviewed on the show
Access Hollywood, where he was attending a critics
ceremony. Speilberg was asked questions about the Success
of SPR, and then he was asked about his pal Lucas'
upcoming Star Wars Prequel. He mentioned that he has seen
it (what there was of it) and that he couldn't wait until
he can see it again, in full. Halloween 8: Below is a scoop which is loaded with SPOILERS for those who haven't seen "H20" or don't want to read any info on the possible next installment. Thanks to 'Anonymous.' Everyone has heard Moustapha Akkad say "I'll be making Halloween films till the day I die" and "The Halloween films will never be finished." With that said we can probably all assume that "Halloween: H20" probably isn't the last Halloween film. So how will Michael come back? He's dead......or is he. The latest rumor that has popped-up is that Laurie didn't kill Michael, but one of the paramedics. The rumor goes on to say that Michael knocked out one of the paramedics, put tape on his mouth so he couldn't talk, and put his mask and clothes on him to make everyone think it was him. Then inside the van with Laurie, the paramedic came to, and when he tried to get Laurie's attention she slammed the brakes, making him fly out the window. He got stuck between the tree and the truck, and then Laurie cut not Michael, but the paramedics his head off. Is this true? I don't know? This is just all rumor, but it would explain why Michael was acting so weird and different than usually in the last minutes of H20. Did you notice how much Michael was checking himself when he was stuck between the tree and the truck, like he didn't know where he was? Maybe it wasn't Michael, but the paramedic who didn't know what the hell was going on........ The Stanford Prison Experiment: 20th Century Fox is close to a deal to pick up "The Stanford Prison Experiment." Leonardo DiCaprio is attached to star and Lee Tamahori attached to direct. The screenplay is based on an actual experiment conducted at Stanford University in the summer of 1971, when a professor named Phil Zimburdo turned the basement of a psychology building into a mock prison. The randomly chosen subjects were 19- and 20-year-old students who were divided into camps of either prison guards or prisoners. What was to be a two-week experiment was cut short after six days because of the level of cruelty and sadism that erupted among the participants, mainly those playing guards.
Blade 2: Wesley Snipes is set to reprise his vampire-stalking role in a sequel to "Blade." The $70 million-grosser was Snipes' second-biggest box office hit, not to mention that it was also a very enjoyable film. David S. Goyer will once again be handling the scripting duties. Talk about the Blade sequel? >>> Wonder Boys: Katie Holmes (TV's "Dawson's Creek") has joined the cast of Paramount Pictures' "Wonder Boys" directed by Curtis Hanson. Based on Michael Chabon's novel, the film stars Michael Douglas as a writer and professor who is behind on his deadline for the follow-up to his successful novel. Holmes plays Hannah Green, one of Douglas' students who harbors a crush on him. Hannah, who boards with Douglas, gets her hands on his manuscript and reads it before it's finished. She eventually serves as a catalyst that causes Douglas to have an epiphany on life. Tomb Raider: It's been
a while since anything new has happened with the 'Tomb
Raider' movie project, but 'don corlione' dropped in some
possible new info: Adventuress: A scoop
about a possible script sale with thanks to 'Vash K'zami' Movie Trailers: A trailer for "Office Space" starring Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston. Also a new trailer for "The Mod Squad" starring Claire Danes, Omar Epps and Giovanni Ribisi.
Independence Day 2: Variety reports that a thaw said to be in the offing between 20th Century Fox and the "Independence Day'' team of Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich could lead to a sequel to the 1996 blockbuster. Rumors have surfaced that talks are under way to hatch a sequel to the film that ended with Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman thwarting alien invaders and celebrating the rescue of planet Earth, which was close to being destroyed. The League: Jim Caviezel ("The Thin Red Line") has signed to portray Al Pacino's son in Oliver Stone football drama "The League." The film, which also stars Dennis Quaid, James Woods and Edward Burns, centers on personal and professional dramas that swirl around the fictitious Miami Sharks football team. The film is produced by Stone, Dan Halstead, Lauren Shuler-Donner and Clayton Townsend. Formerly known as "Any Given Sunday," the film is shooting in Miami but Caviezel is not expected to join the team until March.
Ravenous: A poster for "Ravenous," a horror/drama starring Guy Pearce, Jeremy Davies, Robert Carlyle, Jeffrey Jones and David Arquette. This film will be released March 19th in the US. Down to You: Freddie Prinze Jr. ("She's All That," "Wing Commander") will star in "Down to You," about a tumultuous love affair between two college students. The Miramax project marks the feature film debut of its screenwriter Kris Isacsson, a former employee at the studio. Patriot: Mel Gibson is negotiating to star in the Revolutionary War drama "Patriot." If talks work out, Gibson could be firing his musket by summer. Roland Emmerich ("Godzilla") is directing the Columbia Pictures project from a script by Robert Rodat ("Saving Private Ryan"). The film is being eyed as a major summer 2000 release. The lead is a family man and civilian who becomes a reluctant but ultimately fierce warrior. Movie Trailers: A trailer for the Andy Garcia/Andie MacDowell starrer "Just The Ticket" and also a better quality version of the "Wild Wild West" Superbowl trailer from yesterday.
The House on Haunted Hill: Famke Janssen ("Deep Rising") is in final negotiations to star opposite Geoffrey Rush in the remake of the 1958 Vincent Price starrer "The House on Haunted Hill" for Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis' Dark Castle Entertainment. Also, rocker Marilyn Manson is in talks to play the film's lead villain. Janssen will play Evelyn Price, a woman unhappy in her relationship with a business tycoon (Rush), who finds herself in a former insane asylum where five strangers are getting $1 million apiece to spend the night. Elizabeth Hurley had been in talks to take the role. Gary Sinise ("Snake Eyes") has signed to star as the villain in one film and the hero in another. First up is "Reindeer Games," in which Sinise will play a con artist who manipulates a young ex-con (Ben Affleck) into robbing the casino where the ex-con once worked. Director John Frankenheimer will begin shooting the Dimension Films project in March. Sinise will then trade his black hat for a white one with "Mission to Mars," a sci-fi film being eyed as Disney's big release for summer 2000. Brian DePalma has been rumored to direct this film. Full Story >>> Gone in 60 Seconds: Nicolas Cage has committed to a $20 million payday with a remake of the 1974 car chase thriller "Gone in 60 Seconds." The picture is about a gang of car thieves and their final attempt to straighten up with one last heist of 50 cars for a shady Middle Eastern car dealer. The only hitch is that another gang is trying to steal those cars for somebody else. Cage will play the leader of the thieves who is desperate for the cash so he can help his younger brother get out of hock to the mob. He had been mulling the role for the last month and officially committed late last week after seeing the most recent draft by screenwriter Scott Rosenberg ("Con Air"). The project is set up at Disney's Touchstone Pictures banner where producer Jerry Bruckheimer ("The Rock") wants to start production in the spring, but no director is yet attached.
