Another Batman Post? ....and other nerd happenings

The new Batman film has a new name. 'The Dark Knight". ooooohhhhhhhhh sends shivers down my spine. As mentioned in an earlier post Heath Ledger has been cast as the Joker and Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber are in the runnings for Harvey Dent aka Two-Face. A new name in the running for that role is Ryan Phillipe, an actor I like but I don't know if I'm digging him as Two-Face. Batman is becomming the series of beautiful people. Not that I find Christian Bale and Heath Ledger beautiful...I mean that I'm not into....just because I called them...Im not gay.

I should also add that Christpher Nolan (the director) wants there to be cameos from all kinds of Batman Villains. Right now Phylip Seymour Hoffman is in negotiatians to play The Penguin.

Here's some old news. J.J. Abrams the genious behind "Lost" and he also created "Alias" is directing the next Star Trek film. Yay for nerds like me. The thing I don't like about Star Trek's return is that it's a prequel. Not to the series I liked which was "The Next Generation" but a prequel to the original series with Kirk and Spock. Its about them and how they met at Starfleet Academy and yadda yadda yadda I don't really care. I like Kirk and Spock and I liked the movies they were in but I don't really care about their history before the Enterprise. Star Trek gave us 25 years of them and their crew. I feel done. ...but I'l be first in line.

Rob Zombie, the insane writer and director behind House of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects is now the man behind the helm of the next Halloween movie. It's not a remake or a sequel but what Zombie calls a Re-imagining of Michael Myers. You know after they killed Michael Myers in such a cool way in Halloween 7 and then spit it back in our faces in Hallwoeen 8, I'm up for a change for Michael Myers.

George Lucas has been in the works creating a Star Wars TV series. I really haven't been very interested in it so all I know is that there's suppose to be more then 1 series, I heard one is set with clone troopers and the other is set before "The Phantom Menace" about Jedi "a long time ago". Oh and their live action. My DVD burner is on stand by.

Friday the 13th was due out this Friday, October 13th but I haven't heard anything in months on this project. It's another prequeleque movie which I don't support. The Jason movies are all about the hockey mask and mindless killings. Parts 2-4 all take place within the spand of 4 days all on the same lake, all on different camp sites located on different parts of Crystal Lake, and all the movies ended with police on the scene of the crime and their all aware that there's a killer still on the loose. Not just that but Part 8 shows us that Crystal Lake is connected to the ocean. This movie doesn't need a prequel. It will be boring. Plus they want to explain the origins of Jason and answer the question that's been on everyones mind since 1983. Why does Jason wear a hockey mask? I'll tell you why, it's because he killed someone in part 3-D and took it from him. Yup I said part 3-D. Mystery solved. I'll be first in line.
