The animated TMNT was so very shitty. Give me something like the original movie.

I do agree with you on Kung Fu Panda though GameHED. That was done very well - especially the fight choreography.

The biggest issue I had with the CG movie was that it was a continuation of the latest animated series. Viewers were just dropped into the middle of a story expecting them to know everything about it and exactly where the current story line was.

Also, it just seemed to have zero punch. For something based on ninjas it seemed pretty blah.

Reboot and dark please.

Trailer looks makes it look pretty cool. Could be a good low key comedy.

Don Lafontaine , THE voice of movie trailers, has died at age 68. His voice work on wikid trailers is second to none and much copied/satirised. Check some of his greatest hits here:

In a world where Sculli makes jokes at the expense of a cinema legend...

Not at the expense of him, at the expense of you.

Guy was a legend, sentiments which were echoed a week ago.

Columbia Pictures has set "The Office" co-executive producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a "Ghostbusters" film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.

Eisenberg and Stupnitsky just wrote The Year One, a comedy that was directed by Ramis. Ramis with Aykroyd wrote the first two installments of the films. Ivan Reitman directed both the 1984 original and the sequel that was released in 1989.

Details on Ghostbusters III

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/38232" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

From Harold Ramis:

yes, columbia is developing a script for GB3 with my year one writing partners, gene stupnitsky and lee eisenberg. judd apatow is co-producing year one and has made several other films for sony, so of course the studio is hoping to tap into some of the same acting talent. aykroyd, ivan reitman and i are consulting at this point, and according to dan, bill murray is willing to be involved on some level. he did record his dialogue for the new ghostbusters video game, as did danny and i, and ernie hudson. the concept is that the old ghostbusters would appear in the film in some mentor capacity. not much else to say at this point. everyone is confident a decent script can be written and i guess we'll take it from there.
best,
harold

Good to see Bill Murray did decide to do the voice work for the video game... there was some worry he wouldn't. He has been a bit nut job of lately. I guess even a few scenes out of him for the new movie would be enough.

Trailer for Michael Moore's Slacker Uprising. Pretty much a docco about how he travelled the US trying to get young people to vote.

Apparently we can download the movie for free from the website at the end of the month. NOICE!

Producer on a Duke Nukem Movie
Source: Kotaku September 9, 2008

Max Payne producer Scott Faye talked to Kotaku about the proposed Duke Nukem video game adaptation:

"I'm working diligently at making a Duke Nukem movie scenario that will live up to the character and its [importance] in the videogame world," said Faye. "As is the case with all of my game adaptations, I'd rather not make the movie than make a poor adaptation."

“With the two new games coming out based on Duke Nukem, I'm working at establishing a Duke film scenario that will compel a studio to finance a feature version,” said Faye. “Certainly, there's a large audience that knows and loves this character.”

Faye said he’s still actively developing the story and he will not shop the film in Hollywood until all the people involved in the project feel solid about where we are creatively.

“More than ever before, I feel that the feature adaptation of Duke Nukem will come to together nicely,” said Faye, who runs Depth Entertainment.

Faye has a production arrangement with Miller’s Radar Group, which will be part of every aspect of the Duke Nukem process, according to Faye.

“We're expanding Duke's ‘storyverse’ in a very significant major way without abandoning or negating any element that's being used to introduce Duke to the next gen platforms,” added Faye.

This is about 15 years too late. Arnold is too old now.

Did you see that? He just called the gushing fans fat hairy nerds who are gay for duke! lol You are large.

Just kidding...Make it like 300 but with guns and aliens and much more naked females than males. (face it 300 is sorta gay for not having them wear armor) And more than just one alien unlike doom movie. (but unlike 300, have 1 man against all aliens instead of using tactics with a group just like all those 80s action movies where the mission could only be achieved by a single person)

- Devastator has lots of upper body strength, like a gorilla
- Not just green, some of the vehicles are red and yellow
- The previously Long Haul concept art by Josh Nizzi is legit

fuck yeah!!!

awesome news

GameHED · Post by **GameHED** » 12 Sep 2008 08:09 pm

Yes that is something worth going to see the movie for.

But will the dinobots be in it? The dinos were always my fave G1 autobots because they weren't afraid to destroy stuff that didn't need to be destroyed. That's what robots should be used for.

Don't forget hasbro: If starscream is coming back for the second movie, make a slim fighter jet toy like masterpiece starscream.

Does Arno hav a cameo in T4?

http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=23222

Okay so this is no where near confirmed yet however if it happened it would lend some more cred to this flick. I like the idea of having Arn make a cameo in some sense as he is sent back in time, even if it is just his face and voice if done well.

Plus I fucken love Arn and any excuse to see him up on the big screen again is wikid.

Here is the latest pic that has given the rumour mill a kickstart:

and here is a sweet pic of Arn:

'Sarah Cahnner?' 'Y-yes!?' FUCKEN BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM!

Arn's shirt is a shocker, lol does it say 'Rad' on it?
