Something new, but not more intelligent.

Horror. I cannot count on one hand the number of horror movies that revolve around a middle-aged cast (unless Tyler Perry movies count?). But here is one more finger to raise on that hand! Er... :\

Wes Craven is on board to do a Scream 4, as well as Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Neve Campbell. Craven says, "Working with Courteney, David, and Neve was a blast ten years ago and I'm sure it will be again."

There are two main audiences of horror flicks:
1. Men who want to go see a good Rob Zombie flick.
2. Teenagers that want a dark place to see how far they can get with their new date (Night 1).
For lack of a good explanation, I'm going to say that those who fall in Category 1 may only see Scream 4 because they saw the earlier movies and they are interested in seeing what will happen in the ongoing story. Other than that, Category 1 probably won't see Scream 4. The main reason Category 2 won't see it is because they don't want to see old people doing it. Sorry, but all of the horror movies geared towards the teen audience have sex scenes because they know that only hormone bombs are watching. And even if Craven tries to spice things up for the teens, it is still gross to teens when older people have sex ("Eww, they're my parents age, and... They don't do that........").

(Don't) Look for it on April 15, 2011.

Wonderful. Every entry I have made so far deals with something that was once animation (minus the intro).

The much anticipated arrival of The Avengers (Marvel's most popular team of heroes) has been slowed due to the "slow" casting. There is nothing wrong with taking your time casting roles. I'd rather Marvel promise an awesome movie (The Avengers) and actually deliver on it and have some great casting choices (not so much).

Captain America finally has an actor. And wow, would you love to be that person (Please?), right? Come on, it guarantees you about 4-5 movies with Marvel! PAYCHECK. So that is exactly why CHRIS EVANS IS CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!!!!!! ..................... That guy from The Nannie Diaries? The Human Torch? Yes, and yes. I hate to say it... But... I don't like that. I'm a comic reader, and I can tell you that the guy doesn't look a thing like Captain America. All I'm going to be thinking about is Cap running around with the rest of the Avengers (and in his own movie, The First Avenger: Captain America) possibly looking for all the answers to the SAT.

Even more tough to comprehend is one's ability to play two heroes in the same universe. He's the Human Torch, and he's Captain America. So... What exactly is Mr. Fantastic going to do when he sees that Johnny Storm and Steve Rogers ARE THE EXACT SAME GUY? Confusing? Yes. Necessary? No.

Among those who were also considered for the role were John Krasinski, Chace Crawford, and Kellan Lutz.

The object of this blog is to bring movie news to the people. That's simple. I also thought that it was simple to rely on other people's sources (because let's face it, that's what everybody does). Sorry friends. MTV kinda screwed that one up. And that's funny, because they NEVER MESS UP.

Alan Cumming is the one who let the world know that Quentin Tarantino would be Brainy Smurf in the upcoming live-action interpretation of The Smurfs. Tarantino's publicist has now denied that. *sigh* I apologize for the post entitled "Inglourious Smurfs".

Look, I realize that people mess up sometimes. That's fine. But c'mon. Cumming just blatantly lied. And MTV was like "OMG OMG OMG GIMME GIMME NEWS BECAUSE WE RARELY HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S NOT ABOUT SNOOKIE."

But hey, it was a fun thought at least.... Apologies all. >.<

Hold it.

Quentin Tarantino... Is going to be a smurf in Raja Gosnell's upcoming live-action interpretation of The Smurfs. Joining a cast of Neil Patrick Harris, Katy Perry, and Jonathan Winters, Tarantino will play Brainy Smurf. SURPRISE. This is actually really funny to me, because I always envisioned Quentin Tarantino pulling a Robert Rodriguez and directing a kids movie. And The Smurfs was exactly what I thought he would do. But now he gets to be the most annoying one of them all.

Dream List: Perez Hilton (Tailor Smurf), Paris Hilton (Vanity Smurf), Adam Lambert (Wild Smurf), Meryl Streep (Nanny Smurf), and Steve Buscemi (Smoogle). False. I don't dream of this movie at all.

Heath Ledger did some really amazing things as Joker in The Dark Knight. Really. Amazing. Things. People who never dreamed of watching a Batman movie flocked to theaters knowing that Ledger's performance would absolutely freak them out. But the tragic death of Heath Ledger has left many wondering which direction the Batman movies will take and if they will live up to TDK. Don't fear. Director Christopher Nolan knows best.

The end is nigh.

In a recent interview with the LA Times, Nolan made it clear that his third Batman film would be his last. “Without getting into specifics, the key thing that makes the third film a great possibility for us is that we want to finish our story,” he said. “And in viewing it as the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story.” Christopher Nolan knew he scored big with his first two Batman films. And it's time to go out on top. Hey look, this is perfectly fine with me. Yes, I will miss Nolan as head honcho of the Batman films, but all good things must come to end. Christopher's brother, Johnathan Nolan, is working on the script right now. Christopher couldn't drop any hints on the script, but he was kind enough to let us know that the villain for the movie will be.................... NOT Mr. Freeze. Thanks Chris. ;)

Rest assured, we can count on Nolan to deliver. When has he not? He, his brother, and Goyer (helped on story) are taking their time to make sure fans get exactly what they want. What's it gonna be? The death of Bruce Wayne? A segue to JLA? Who knows. Who cares. Bring it Nolan.

The Nightwatchman that is.

Tom Morello, formerly of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, recently revealed on Twitter that he would be writing the score for Iron Man 2.

"Is that really me in Iron Man? Of course. Iron Man kicks my ass. I'm working on score for Iron Man 2. Rockin'. Movie is awesome."

It just makes sense. Morello knows how to make some of the most ridiculous sounds on a guitar, most of which reflect the sounds of machinery. I guess that's what happens when you basically just punch your guitar (which is not necessarily a bad thing). Let's face it. The guy knows music on many different genres. Director Jon Favreau understands the "rockstar" attitude/mentality of Tony Stark and is getting somewhat creative with it. Morello also made an appearance as a terrorist in the first Iron Man.

This follows news of AC/DC releasing an entire 15-track hits album to compliment the film. No love for Black Sabbath. :\

Bare with me as this whole blog thing kicks off! It should get better...
