Random Movie News


Peter Berg set to direct Dune remake.

…As well as Tom Cruise movie Edwin A. Salt.

The Host II (sequel to the South Korea’s bestselling movie ever) should start filming this summer with a 2009 release. It’s being produced by Choi Yong-bae (who also produced the first) and the screenplay is being worked on by comic artist Kang Full. The Host II will be set in 2003.

Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li will start filming in March with Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li. Speaking of Street Fighter...

Jean Claude Van Damme will star in a film he’s written and directing called Full Love that will start filming in Bangkok at the end of March/beginning of April. And it’s a romance(!). I will make no comment on the title.

Is another adaptation of Dune really necessary? John Harrison's miniseries was tolerable enough and more than made up for the David Lynch fiasco. Its only serious fault was how obvious it was that the whole thing was shot on a sound stage.

Well, when the two existing options are 'tolerable' and 'fiasco', I'm okay with them attempting a remake. :)

In other news, Kristen Kreuk is an excellent choice for Chun Li, regardless of how much faith I have in the movie itself...
