Some new movie updates you should be interested in ...
The Boys (action/comedy/superhero)
An
Adam McKay flick on the management of reckless and dangerous superheroes by an elite ops group who keeps them in line, and if need be kill them, based on the
Ennis & Robertson comic book adventure. Into this mix comes
Simon Pegg (he of the
Shaun of the Dead),
Hot Fuzz fame) as Wee Hughie, the latest recruit. Laughter ensues. Check out the whole write up
here. This looks like a great, original idea kinda movie. How you lose when you have two running themes which practically heats up the box office: superheroes, and comedy. AND, you mix it up with military tacticle stuff. What can go wrong? If done properly, not much.
Transformers 3 (2011) (action/tech/robots)
Are you ready for the 3rd installment of the gleaming robot ass-kicking fight-fest? Ready or not, its coming.
Aintitcool.com has it covered with some pretty decent pre-production photos
here. The good news (for fanboys) is that its coming next year in 2011, the bad news is that uber-babe
Megan Fox will NOT be on board. In her place will be
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, which, from the pictures shows certain HIGH hotness level. Will she be able to kick-ass in the hot-babe dept which our beloved Fox has been doing overtime for in the past 2 Transformers installment? We can only wait, hope, and see ...
Mission Impossible 4 (2011) (action/spy/thriller)
In the spirit of never-ending sequels, we have another sequel in the MI franchise. Tom Cruise is set to reprise his role as Ethan Hunt, and more interesting is the return of Benji Dunn, played by Simon Pegg, the lab tech expert who backs up Hunt on his missions. Read it from the
Hollywood Report . Despite the downturn of Tom Cruise appeal in the world of entertainment, my money will still be on him to deliver high quality kick-assory, which is A. Non-stop, and B. High grade. Thats good enough for me. Helming it will be
Brad Bird, he of the Pixar range of action comedy cartoons The Incredibles, Ratatouille, The Iron Giant etc. Hmm. Interesting, to say the least ... Could it be that the underlying darkness of the previous MIs will be replaced with something more fantastical? More elaborate? And how will it gel with JJ Abrams written effort for this sequel? Aha ...
