Screenwriter Shane Black spoke with Moviehole and said that even though Black has already written the script he doesn’t think that there will be a Lethal Weapon 5. And rightfully so, there is no reason to go through all the trouble of making a new Lethal Weapon movie when it’s original stars aren’t physically able to handle all the action required by an action film. Finally screenwriters and production studios have decided to accept things for what they are and stop making sequels to dead series…..Thank God….Mr.Black you are appreciated.
Even if Lethal Weapon’s original staring cast members Mel Gibson and Danny Glover were physically capable of taking on such a role without the movie losing it’s action packed edge, Mel Gibson has wiped his hands of his role as Sergent Martin Riggs. Last October, Richard Donnor was quoted:
“Mel turned it down. I would like to think that Mel turned it down because I wasn’t involved. Knowing Mel, I would like to think that. Would that be the kind of thing he does? It sure would be.”
If Mel doesn’t want this film to happen I’m pretty sure it won’t happen. No offense to the other cast members but Mel Gibson and Danny Glover made this series and to have a sequal without either one couldn’t be considered a part of the Lethal Weapon series.
Another Shrek…I mean don’t get me wrong I’m a huge fan of the first two but now its getting out of hand. I will not sit and watch those greedy check pushers at Dreams Works destroy the first pure CG animated comedy. I think I’m gonna write a letter lol. All jokes aside Shrek has had it ups and downs when its comes to its sequels but you know what they say “You can never judge a book by it’s cover” but they didn’t say anything about judging a movie by it’s trailer. Check it out.
My judgment…They’d better not Fu%& this up lol. Shrek Forever After hits theaters May 21, 2010. Adults and children alike please watch as the integrity of our favorite ogre will be place on the line.
The air is fresh, the trees are green and Dakota Fanning will star in the Wizard of Oz remake. It just seems to role off the tongue, Dakota Fanning taking a trip to Oz, roaming around munchkin land and what not.
The sequel to the timeless classic will be the works of Todd McFarlane, in cahoots with Warner Bros. they plan to bring Oz to the present day and time. It’ll be interesting to see who they choose to fill the rest of the cast. Maybe Kanye West would make a good tin man, he’s heartless anyway…..lol sorry I couldn’t help myself…. But on a more serious note, this time around their will be no random combustion of song and music. Yup… someone finally wised up and left the musicals with Disney, in the up-to-date remake/sequel they’ve decided to focus more on the plot rather than the tunes that only waste time from actor that have no kind of vocal range what so ever.
It’s finally time to take a trip back to Futurama.

While it was originally on the air from 1999 -2003 it’s small fan base was the cases of it’s cancellation and now 6 years later after a huge spark in supporters due to DVD success the Planet Express has a few more laughs to deliver.

Actor Paul Giamatti is set to star in Barney’s Version.
Check out a short synopsis of the book:
The story is written in the style of an autobiography of Barney Panofsky, and recounts his life in varying detail. At the end of the book he is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, which explains his memory losses (corrected by his son Michael through the use of foot-notes), and his repeatedly reminding himself of the name of the utensil used to strain spaghetti (a colander). Barney may be viewed as an unreliable narrator, in that his recollections go from lucid to ludicrous with his varying mental states, but he is only mistaken about minor things. In the end Barney is right about the most questionable event in the book, that he did not murder Boogie. Mike learns it must have been a water bomber plane that picked up Boogie while he was swimming in the lake while Barney was asleep, and dropped the water on the mountain.
Also set to star in the film are actress Julia Roberts and acotr Clive Owen.Be sure to check back as moreis to come.
