Movie News


The Justice League movie - with the Writers’ strike, the still unknown cast that was supposed to be announced a couple months ago, skyrocketing costs, and the fact it’s not starting filming as planned – is still a go. Sort of? Maybe? Well, the production department heads have told their crews that there will be a decision the middle of this week as to Justice League’s future. This comes right after WETA Workshop officially announced that they are working on the costumes. Buh?

Jennifer's Body, a comedy/thriller about a cheerleader who becomes possessed and starts killing young men in her town, should start filming in March. Written by Diablo Cody, Megan Fox will play the cheerleader, and Karyn Kusama is in talks to direct.

The Edgar Allan Poe movie Sylvestor Stallone has been trying to get made for about ten years is finally moving forward, with Stallone writing and directing.

Doomsday now has a March 14 release date.

Mark Nippe to direct Van Damme vs. Seagal. The story: Spoof comedy about how Jean Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal try to make each others’ lives miserable – until a real nuclear threat forces them to combine their action hero powers. Unknown if they’ll get the actual actors to star. It would seem someone has been taking requests, if they somehow work in Dolph Lungren and Christopher Lambert my action movie wish shall be granted. Oh, and Bolo Yeung. Because it ain’t a party without The Bolo... And I wanted to use that picture.

Fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken has sent a letter to the makers of Kentucky Fried Horror Show threatening a lawsuit. C.L. Gregory plans to continue as scheduled.
