Chronicle of Riddick Film Moving Forward

Chronicle of Riddick Film Moving Forward It's only a nugget, but it feels pretty solid. Vin Diesel, gravelly voiced cheerleader for multiple ailing movie franchises, has announced on his Facebook page that at least some sort of pre-production is underway on a third Chronicle of Riddick. "The Riddick team is in New Zealand location scouting already... that's exciting." is the full status update. But it's significant in that it's the first we've heard of something solid actually happening on the project. The last we knew, back at the beginning of August, came from Pitch Black and Chronicles director David Twohy. He said some ideas were being thrown around, and that the expense and studio concessions of Chronicles were a mistake, leading part three back to much smaller-scale territory. But he also suggested that a smaller budget might be a problem for Diesel, who apparently doesn't get out of bed for less than his usual fee. Has Vin relented for his favou

George Lucas- Talks Star Wars And Red Tails

Exclusive George Lucas- Talks Star Wars And Red Tails By:John Meneghetti I had the pleasure of attending the 4th annual California Hall of Fame, on December 1st, in my hometown of Sacramento, CA This year the California Museum was honoring 13 legendary Californians who have displayed a spirit of innovation and inspiration to the world. The person that I wanted to talk to the most was "The Maker" George Lucas. I had the opportunity to visit ILM and Lucas Ranch in April of this year and this would be the icing on the cake. To have the opportunity meet and interview "The Great One " George Lucas. I knew I didn't have alot of time to ask many questions, as always in Hollywood the main stars show up late and fly by little bloggers like me. But I would not let this chance pass me by!! I wished I could have asked more interesting questions. What do u ask when u have 1 minute with the maker? First, I introduced myself to Mr. Lucas when he came by and then I

"Green Lantern" Offered To Quentin Tarantino First

"Green Lantern"Offered To Quentin Tarantino First Quentin Tarantino recently revealed to MTV News that he had the opportunity to direct "Green Lantern." "I was offered the 'Green Lantern,' " Tarantino told MTV News. "Not since it's been a script, but just like, 'Hey we own the 'Green Lantern.' Would you like it?'" Tarantino declined the opportunity and "Lantern" joined the list of other franchises, like "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," that he was offered but never ended up taking on. "Green Lantern," of course, is now being helmed by Martin Campbell ("Casino Royale") and will star Ryan Reynolds. "It wouldn't be an existing comic book character," he said. "I'm a writer. I'd want to use my imagination and not have to fight with geeks' memories of how this character should be and, 'Oh, I cast an actor as opposed to a bodybuilder' or it's not as

Will "Blood Oath" Be The Male Version of Twilight?

Will "Blood Oath" be the male version of Twilight? From what I have heard about " Blood Oath " it is going to be nothing less than a hit. You know for sure Hollywood will be calling. Christopher Farnsworth is that your phone ringing? With the success Of the Twilight franchise and True Blood, just to name a few, anything with Vampires in it is the new flavor of the week. But only a great story and writer can make it a success. I am hoping that Mr. Farnsworth will indeed succeed. If this book does get turned into a film it will be a refreshing look at vampires, no more vampire love stories or who's team are you on. Just a bad ass movie. We need to get back to being Ballsy!! Now here's a political-thriller concept with bite: Next May, Putnam will release "Blood Oath," which tells the tale of Nathaniel Cade, a vampire who has secretly served and protected every U.S. president for the past 140 years. "It's got a bit of a '24' concept t

The Bourne Franchise Losses Paul Greengrass

The Bourne Franchise Losses Paul Greengrass Universal Pictures has acknowledged that Paul Greengrass has departed a fourth installment of “The Bourne Identity.” Studio has issued this statement from the director: Said Greengrass: "You won't find a more devoted supporter of the Bourne franchise than me. I will always be grateful to have been the caretaker to Jason Bourne over the course of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum. I'm very proud of those films and feel they express everything I most passionately believe about the possibility of making quality movies in the mainstream. My decision to not return a third time as director is simply about feeling the call for a different challenge. There's been no disagreement with Universal Pictures. The opportunity to work with the Bourne family again is a difficult thing to pass up, but we have discussed this together and they have been incredibly understanding and supportive. I've been lucky enough to have made
