Some movie related new came out today regarding Nightmare on Elm Street, GI Joe and Y The Last Man. Without futher ado.
New Elm Street - For some idiotic reason New Line has signed an agreement with Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes to re-do A Nightmare on Elm Street along the same lines as the recent Halloween, Chainsaw Massacre and upcoming Friday the 13th. Considering the lack of skill "re-imaginings" have been handled in the last decade or so, I am far less then thrilled with the idea. I pretty much completely agree with AICN's analysis of the situation, I am very worried but a good writer and director (not that idiot Rob Zombie) can turn me around. I just hope they remember its skill not gore that makes for a good horror flick.
GI Joe Casting - The casting for the upcoming GI Joe continues with Dennis Quaid (General Hawk), Channing Tatum (Duke Hauser), and Arnold Vosloo (Zartan) joing the cast. There is also a rumor that David Murray will play Destro. They join Sienna Miller, Ray Park, Rachel Nichols, Marlon Wayans, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Said Taghmaoui and Joseph Gordon-Levitt for the movie.
Y: The Last Man Trilogy - A rumor is going around that the comic book series, Y: The Last Man will become a move trilogy with the first movie covering the first 14 issues of the series. That series sadly ended its five year run today in an excellent final issue. Nice to see Hollywood catching up on some of these books considering by issue 3 I saw a movie potential (I should be a producer). The series is about the last man on earth (rest killed by unknown means) and his attempt to find his girlfriend while traveling across a world ravaged (or reborn) by the death of all males.
