“In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire … the A-Team.”

Rumors have been kicking around about a full-feature A-Team movie for several years, but only now has the project been confirmed.

The big-screen version of The A-Team will deal with more recent politics (Iraq, man) and have actual deaths. That’s right: when somebody falls fifty-stories from a high rise, on fire, while getting shot multiple times they won’t just dust themselves off and walk away! (more…)

There’s a short list for franchises yet to be plundered by Hollywood studios, let alone ones of high quality and deserving of being resuscitated by the right people. If there’s one franchise (and character) that could be revived and retain its vibe in a new film it would be Pee-Wee Herman.

In an interview with MTV Paul Reubens said that he’s toyed with the idea of not one but two new Pee-Wee movies. Fans of weirdo comedies that border on the insane rejoice!

Reubens described both scripts in the interview, saying that one would be an extension of the hit show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse while the other would be darker in tone, telling the story of Pee-Wee as an overnight success in the music industry who signs on to Elvis-inspired musicals and has a hard time dealing with seedy Hollywood types.

Both scripts sound worthwhile, but Pee-Wee’s Adventure producer Tim Burton is “too booked” to helm either project. That’s bad news to any Pee-Wee enthusiast weaned on pure nostalgia. (more…)

Sam Adams (Boston, brewer) is angry at Sam Adams (Portland, candidate for Mayor) for using his/its/their likeness…in name.

Zac Efron to star alongside Mann in movie directed by Burr Steers of The L Word. Shooting fish in barrel just got a million-times easier.

The ass-tastic Jessica Alba plays a vision-impaired violinist in The Eye who gets her vision back via a cornea transplant…only for her eyes to deceive her and show horrific instances from the prior eyeball-owner’s life! It’s a remake of a 2002 film made in Hong Kong titled Gin Gwai.

Yeah it sounds kinda lame (like her last flick) but she’s hot, and that’s good for something…right?

Short and oh-so-sweet:

Upon the arrival of Death Proof on DVD Director Quentin Tarantino was interviewed by the London Telegraph; he spilled the beans on his next project(s).

The decade-long-delayed World War II project (tentatively titled Inglorious Bastards; tentatively starring Michael Madsen) will most likely see the light of day first, but QT has another genre revival waiting in the wings: a European soft-core flick.

As expected with Tarantino, the film is reported to consist of Swedish babes, booze, Americans on vacation and “hooking up.” Sounds like the National Lampoon franchise has some competition on their hands.

Tarantino also mussed over a few rumors, like helming an update of the maverick android movie Westworld (maybe) or a re-up of the cult-classic Green Lantern (not likely).

One this is for sure when it comes to Tarantino’s skin-flick: expect foot-fetish scenes up the wazoo.

Canadian funnyman Mike Myers’ latest creation, The Love Guru, has officially signed on the talents of Justin Timberlake. Myers previously worked with JT in Shrek the Third, where the reigning King of Pop played king-in-waiting Artie Pendragon.

The Love Guru will be Myers’ first live-action film since the monumental flop Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat.

With Timberlake on board, Myers has quite a sizeable amount of star power in his new film. Other stars confirmed to have roles in The Love Guru include major-asset Jessica Alba, funny-ass dude Romany Malco and pint-sized playboy Verne Troyer. (more…)
