Yeah...
Alvin in the hoodie is the only one that actually fits the character...
Theodore... I don't know yet...
But Simon looks like, as you said, some kind of rap artist, not the genius we all know...

I have now lost all remaining hope in humanity, and welcome the coming apocalypse.Disney's turning Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs into a live-action action drama, and they just got the guy who helmed Constantine to direct it. And no, today is not April First.
The long-gestating project is working under the title of "Snow and the Seven," but The Hollywood Reporter indicates that this is only a temporary label. The project's been through a bunch of screenwriters, but Disney and new director Francis Lawrence seem ready to get production rolling early next year in China. (Yuen Woon-ping was hired to orchestrate the fight sequences!)
Our source provides a handy plot synopsis: "The story, a fantasy adventure, centers on a British girl being raised in 19th century Hong Kong. When she realizes her destiny is to conquer an evil force, she must prepare to fight by being trained by seven Shaolin monks." .......................<>?<?><?>)*(&#&%&#(%&&*$*&)@(#** (got bored with the dots.)  Okay America, show me on the doll exactly where Hollywood violated you.

...I don't know, I think it sounds kinda interesting. I mean, look at it this way; at least it isn't going to be an attempt to turn Snow White and the Seven Dwarves ITSELF into a live-action movie that'll be most horrendous, but rather a SW and the 7D-INSPIRED live action action/adventure/drama...

See that to me is worse. It's lazy, lousy writers trying to paste characters and situations together that probably shouldn't be. If I wanted that, I could read any number of crossover stories on ff.com.

And when you were done there, you could go read ones on FF.Net.
Most people wouldn't think Little Red Riding Hood and a police drama would mesh well, just from the sound of it, but Hoodwinked was a good movie. This "Snow and the Seven", I'm willing to give a chance...

After nearly three years of development, preparations for the Voltron movie look to be entering the home stretch: Variety is reporting that New Regency and the Mark Gordon Company are in the late stages of negotiations to bring one of 1984's best-selling toys to the big screen.
The recent success of the Transformers film obviously hasn't hurt the studio's enthusiasm for a Voltron project, but it's been in the works for awhile, and should probably be viewed as more of a product of the industry's fascination with adaptations than a craven attempt to ride Michael Bay's coattails.
Voltron, naturally, is being viewed as a possible franchise for New Regency. Justin Marks -- who is also working on Joel Silver's planned He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Warner Bros.' upcoming Green Arrow film, and a Street Fighter project at Fox -- is working on the script, which Variety describes thusly:
Marks' take is described as a post-apocalyptic tale set in New York City and Mexico. Five ragtag survivors of an alien attack band together and end up piloting the five lion-shaped robots that combine and form the massive sword-wielding Voltron that helps battle Earth's invaders.
We imagine that the makers of the Gobots and Mobile Armored Strike Kommand will be hearing from the studios any day now. Okay, look, the original may not have been the best piece of writing (I blame the translators, but that's not the point) but why do they insist on perverting my childhood? You could have made a decent movie following the original template, (and monkeys might fly outta my ass too, I'm just sayin') but noooooo. Off to the Script-O-Matic 1000 for another recycled script! Find five stock characters! Make it big, loud, and dumb! Watch it make oodles of cash!  |

Twentieth Century Fox has set Keanu Reeves to star in "The Day the Earth Stood Still," its re-imagining of the 1951 Robert Wise-directed sci-fi classic. *Falls out of chair, begins convulsing.* |

At long last Hollywood, have you no decency?! Paramount has confirmed that in the movie, the name G.I. Joe will become an acronym for "Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity" — an international, coed task force charged with defeating bad guys. It will no longer stand for government issued, as in issued by the American government.
(Snip)
The word is that in the current political climate, they're afraid that a heroic U.S. soldier won't fly. Grrrrrr!!!!!!!!  |
