Wanderlei gets an extreme makeover, Rampage joins the A-Team

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , on September 5, 2009 by MarkEightThree

Silva’s not exactly a makeover queen/fashionista, so when he goes under the knife to get some work done you can bet it’s to help his career.

In other absurd UFC news, Rampage is pulling out of his grudge match against Rashad Evans at UFC 107 to fill the Baracus role in the upcoming A-Team remake. Jackson will star alongside Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson, filling the role made famous by Mr. T. Filling the now vacant main event slot is the lightweight title match-up between BJ Penn and Diego Sanchez.

Marvel casts it’s next Avenger

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , on May 17, 2009 by MarkEightThree

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth has won the title role of Marvel’s Thor, according to Deadline Hollywood Daily. Hemsworth was most recently seen as the father of Captain Kirk in the awesome reboot of the Star Trek franchise. Filming will begin in January, with a release date of June 17, 2011 set for the viking tale. With Hemsworth in the role of Thor it’s likely he’ll play the character in any subsequent Avengers flicks alongside Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man and Ed Norton’s Hulk.

I’m not sure how the filmmakers are going to approach the concept of Thor on the big screen as it could be either epic or incredibly cheesy. I’m hoping they go for a look that’s ripped straight from the reels of Zack Snyder’s 300, with Thor being a total badass in the spirit of Gerard Butler’s Leonidas.

A Great List of Essential Family Horror Films

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , on December 23, 2008 by MarkEightThree

BD Horror News – Mr. Disgusting’s Must-See Family Horror Films.

Bloody-Disgusting.com’s Mr. D has put together a great list of horror flicks that should please anyone who grew up believing you shouldn’t feed a mogwai after midnight or cross the streams.

I’d have trouble coming up with a better list myself, since he nailed so many of the essentials already. I would have included The Lost Boys, but I’m not totally sure that qualifies as a family film. Big props to Mr. D for including Monster House as well! Anyone who was smart enough to catch it in theatres or later on DVD can vouch for it’s awesomeness.

New Friday the 13th Poster looks deadly

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , on December 6, 2008 by MarkEightThree

Bloody-Disgusting got their hands on the new one-sheet poster for next year’s remade Friday the 13th. After decades of sequels [including a zany adventure in space] Jason Voorhees is getting back to the essentials, which mostly includes slaughtering promiscuous teens at Camp Crystal Lake. The remake is being handled by Platinum Dunes and Marcus Nispel, who were behind 2003′s awesome Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot. I’m looking forward to Jason losing the baggage and getting back to his killer roots!

Potter fans now have twice as much Harry to get excited over

The LA Times is reporting here that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, the final book of J.K Rowling’s teen-wizard saga will be adapted into two films as opposed to just a single film like every other book in the series.

The first film will be released in November 2010 while the second will see release a short seven months later in May 2011. Both films are being directed by David Yates, who also directed Order of the Phoenix and the upcoming Half-Blood Prince. Look for both films to carry the simple subtitles ‘Part I’ and ‘Part II.’

Having read the Deathly Hollows, I’m anticipating these flicks even more now that I know the entire book won’t have to be crammed into three hours. It would be impossible to trim the novel down to a few hours without having to cut out some of the action or lose one of the important sub-plots. I can’t wait to see how the filmmakers bring the Gringott’s heist to life on the big screen, it should be amazing. This is definitely a win-win situation for both the fans of the series and Warner Brothers, as the WB just secured themselves another truckload of money and you know HP lovers aren’t going to turn down the idea of an eight Potter flick, especially when the source material is so strong.

Iron Man unveiled at Apple Trailers

The new Iron Man trailer is now available on Apple Quicktime and it’s pretty sweet. I wasn’t ever a huge fan of Iron Man in the comics, but I always did think the whole look and concept was pretty pimp, especially when he crossed over into the Spider-Man Animated Series with War Machine to help take out Carnage.

As for the trailer itself, it does a great job of showing Stark’s famous duds as well as the comedic side of the film, which I’m sure Jon Favreau will nail. The part where Stark gets his photo taken is delivered perfectly, dry humour and all.

Although Favreau has yet to show he can do well with a big action blockbuster, he did direct one of my favourite episodes of Undeclared, and he’s not Mark Steven Johnson. If you want a good laugh, check out the special features on the film’s DVD as apparently Ghost Rider is EXACTLY how they wanted it to be and it’s perfect in their eyes. Please keep this man away from Captain America.
