NEWS!!!

They're making a new Narnia film! Yay! Not too thrilled about it, but instead of the new film being The Silver Chair, which was next in the novels by Lewis, the powers that be decided to skip ahead a few books and do the prequel story, The Magician's Nephew, which I think happens to be the best one out of all of the books. I LOVE it. Nothing else has really been announced on it, but I'm looking forward to it.

Now I'm all for second chances, so if they screw up the new Clash film, I will be VERY angry. Confirmed returning cast members include Sam Worthington as Perseus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Danny Huston as Poseidon. Also confirmed newcomers for this outing are Bill Nighy as fallen god Hephaestus, Toby Kebbell as Poseidon’s demigod son Argenor, Edgar Ramírez as Ares, and Rosamund Pike who will replace Alexandra Davalos as Andromeda, which kind of blows because I always thought that Alex Davalos was kind of paying homage to her culture by playing a greek. Just pointing it out there. RUMORS have it that:

"A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth.Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind."

Shooting on the film hasn't started yet, but there's a big maybe on if it will be released this time next year. But it sounds fairly promising. Again, I thought they couldn't possibly screw the first Clash since they had a STELLAR cast, but they managed to. Here's me on my knees praying that the powers that be on this movie have more common sense than the last one.




Posters for the new Pixar film sequel Cars 2 from the US, Russia and Japan. STOKED!!!!! Disney can never really make sequels, unless they're from Pixar, the company that's basically bankrolling Disney films.








Benicio Del Toro is playinga deadly drug cartel enforcer in Oliver Stone's Savages. I LOVE OLIVER STONE. Brilliant BRILLIANT man. Just listen to this plot:
The story follows two best friend pot growers in Laguna who share a trippy girl named 'O'. The duo are so good at their job that an enforcer (that's Del Toro, people) demands they work for his boss, a Mexican drug cartel matriarch (I LOVE that Salma Hayek is being considered for this role. It's just BRILLIANT. FREAKING BRILLIANT, OLIVER STONE!!!).

When they refuse, 'O' is kidnapped and they're forced to come up with a fortune in ransom. They set out to hijack the cartel's drug supply, right under the nose of Del Toro's highly suspicious character. HOW INSANE DOES THIS SOUND!?!?

That's basically it for now, peoples. Deuces!!
