Jrs' Sequel Buzz Thread

Will we be getting Iron Man 2 in 3D?

According to AICN Paramount and Marvel are apparently considering converting Iron Man 2 into 3D for it’s release.

If this turns out to be true it will no doubt please 3D fans. Alot of movies in the future (big movies anyway) will be converted into 3D to give people the option of either 2 dimensions or 3. The conversion can be quite costly, but if people decide to see the movie in both 2D and 3D then they shouldn’t have a problem making their money back.

30 Days Of Night Sequel Shooting In October

It was more than two years ago that it was first reported of a pending sequel to 30 Days of Night. They’ve taken their sweet time about getting it done but tonight Bloody Digusting was able to confirm that not only is it happening, they’re shooting it this October in Vancouver, BC.

The main human character, Stella Oleson will return, but she’s being recast. Melissa George won’t be back to play her. This time instead of one of the few survivors of an Alaskan town suddenly attacked by a ravenous horde of bloodthirsty vampires, she’s actually one in a group of vampire hunters. They’re out for revenge. The story was written by Steve Niles and Ben Ketai, who also wrote two 30 Days of Night webseries. Ketai is also directing.

No word yet on whether this is actually a theatrical release, or some sort of direct-to-DVD.

The Three Musketeers To Get The 3D Treatment

Will anything be safe from the 3D makeover? With the way things are going, it doesn’t look like it. We learn today that Paul W.S. Anderson (Death Race, Event Horizon) will direct a new adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers - in 3D no less. He has co-written the script with Andrew Davies (Bridget Jones’s Diary), a script which is said to “modernize” the musketeers.

This new adaptation of The Three Musketeers can be assumed to have nothing to do with the one we heard about last June, which was planned at the time by Millenium Films. This one is being produced by Impact Pictures’ Jeremy Bolt and Constantin Film’s Robert Kulzer (both companies are financing the project), with Anderson himself co-producing.

There has been many-an-adaptation of The Three Musketeers over the years, with cinematic visions of the classic story stretching all the way back to 1903. Notable examples include the 1948 Gene Kelly/Lana Truner/Vincent Price version; the 1973 Michael York/Oliver Reed version; and the 1993 Charlie Sheen/Kiefer Sutherland/Chris O’Donnell version.

Anderson knows Davies from their time at the University of Warwick in England, with Anderson a student and Davies a tutor. Anderson sought out Davies to co-write The Three Musketeers with him because he knew the project needed, “a script that was strong in character and romance to complement the action.” Anderson says that the film is aimed to have a contemporary feel, without ditching the (essential) period setting:

Anderson hopes to start shooting The Three Musketeers sometime next year in France and Germany, with a tentative 2011 release being eyed.

Since everyone is trying to get creative with the placement of 3-D in the title, I'm pretty sure someone will pitch:

Anyone else seen the term "3D" so often over the last month or so that it's actually making them feel a little bit sick now? Nope. Just me then.

I think it's a bit overboard when they emphasize the 3D in the actual title.

Yeah, it's gettin overboard every movie these days is gettin the 3-D treatment it seems. And not every movie deserves to be in 3-D. Just cause a movie would so called "look cool" in three dimension, or it's a cool movie and 3-D is "neat" feature... doesn't mean the two would always go together.

There are limits to 3-D. and to say Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or etc.. is pushing it. Look back at the history of 3-D. Films that were meant for it were films that literally had things coming at you. That was what 3-D was meant for. Then they moved towards stuff like just having 3-D just so things can be ..well..just three dimensional.

I was appalled and embarressed when NBC did that 3-D episode of Chuck. The glasses didn't even work , and like only one or two scenes in the one hour long 3-D crap fest were even worth being in 3-D at all. (sort of).

I could go on about this but lemme just say, I have yet to see a well made 3-D feature film nowadays. A movie deserved to have the 3-D moniker. Avatar I hope is the one.

Guy Ritchie to direct Lobo

Warner Bros. may be having trouble getting their most popular D.C characters such as Wonder Woman and The Flash onto the big screen, but at least that are managing to develop movies of lesser known comic characters. As well as The Losers (which is currently filming) and Jonah Hex. Warner Bros. will be making a movie of Lobo, and have hired Guy Ritchie to direct.

From Variety:

Pg-13 Lobo? No no no...

If it's PG-13 at least you'll be able to see it without parent or guardian

Actually by the time it's released I'll be 18 or 19. Ya know I'm not the 10 year old behind the keyboard you think I am.

I forgot all about Lobo. Guy Ritchie and a PG-13 rating, should be a winner...

Yes Lennon I know. I was being sarcastic with my remark.

Or just being an asshat, one of the two.

Fox readies for 'Big Momma's House 3'

Fox may be ready for more Momma as the studio has tapped Randi Mayem Singer (The Tooth Fairy) to pen Big Momma's House 3.

Logline's under wraps for the second sequel, with New Regency and David Friendly attached to repeat their producing duties from the first two pics.

The original Big Momma's House, starring Martin Lawrence as an undercover agent and master of disguise, grossed $174 million worldwide in 2000 while Big Momma's House 2 pulled in another $138 million in 2006.

Why would they need a writer for Big Momma's House 3?

And you say you're gonna be how old?
