The idea to reboot John Carpenter’s action classic Escape From New York has been rumored one moment and then shoved back into the realm of myth the next for years now. But Starlog is reporting that Joel Silver’s production company is pushing ahead to make it happen, with a rumored casting wish list for the new Snake Plissken that includes Dan Stevens, Charlie Hunnam and Jon Bernthal . This remake has been strolling around the development compound for ages now, snarling at the gatekeepers and crushing cigarette butts beneath its booted feet. Silver, out stumping for Non-Stop earlier this year, likened some of the thinking on the current version to DC video game Arkham City, exploring how Manhattan became the prison we see in Carpenter’s 1981 movie. The idea right now is to feed elements of Snake’s background and the history of New York’s current state into the character via brief glimpses of Snake’s PTSD. According to Starlog’s sources – which must still be treated as unoffi

The long-in-development third Boondock Saints movie is apparently moving forward, with a title and some vague plot details just released at Flickering Myth. The title of the third film is currently The Boondock Saints 3: Legion and the movie will involve legions of people taking the law into their own hands and following in the footsteps of brothers at the center of the first two films. Administrators of the Boondock Saints Facebook page indicated that a contest will likely be held to offer fans the chance to be part of the Legion. “It’s my fault. It’s taken a while [to get the film off the ground]," acknowledged creator Troy Duffy. "It’s because I want to get it right.” You can see a number of fan question Q&A videos at the Facebook page (they are not embeddable). The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus and his co-star Sean Patrick Flanery have repeatedly expressed an interest in coming back for more Boondock Saints. Reedus has even attempted to plant a B

From the looks of it, Guy Ritchie ’s King Arthur and his valiant Knights of the Round Table could be cancelling an apocalypse or two. How so? Well, with Idris Elba already circling a role, Deadline reveals that Ritchie has picked Charlie Hunnam to play Arthur himself. No contracts have been hammered out just yet, so it appears Hunnam isn’t a lock for the role, but it’s certainly the sort of thing he could do well after his years sitting at tables with modern-day knights. Even if they were actually criminal road warriors riding metal steeds into battle in TV’s Sons Of Anarchy… It seems the film is currently called Knights Of The Round Table: King Arthur, and Warner Bros. is hoping that it’ll spawn a franchise that lasts for six planned films, sprung from the brains of Ritchie and Edge Of Tomorrow producer Joby Harold, who wrote this initial script. If Hunnam does lock in a deal, he may be reuniting with Elba, his Pacific Rim co-star. The once and future Loofah Luther is want

Fans can see the original in all its glory, thanks to some dedicated fans. Last month, we reported that Disney was preparing to release on Blu-ray the original Star Wars trilogy, minus all of Director George Lucas's 'Special Edition' edits, which included new special effects, a re-recorded soundtrack, and addition of previously unreleased scenes. Sadly, Disney - the parent company to Lucasfilm - issued a statement quickly debunking the rumor. Wait, you didn't know there was a difference? For years, Lucas has stated that his original version of the film was only "25%-30%" of the version he had envisioned. Yet, for many fans who first saw the original crawl without from A New Hope sans the 'Episode IV' subtitle, that version is still the best. Who could blame them? Greedo shooting first? A comical interlude with a younger Jabba the Hut? Nonsense. Even when the Blu-ray set was released, fans complained that the transfer process darkened

And we thought August was bad - welcome to our September On the Radar Preview! If any of you had trouble choosing or recommending a good movie released last month, we feel for you! After the very good Guardians of the Galaxy was released on August 1st, the rest of the month was filled meh, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to The November Man, some of which have drawn good but unimpressive numbers.  But now September is upon us, and judging from the utter lack of high-performing - or even appealing - films, we're going to to call it right now: September 2014 will draw the lowest numbers of the year, and could establish itself as one of the worst Septembers in the past 15 years. Don't believe us?  Check out this list: September 5 No major releases this month - Sorry, but The Identical - slated for release one-third that of a standard Hollywood blockbuster - seems to have zero buzz going behind it. For us to not recommend anything for a week is a first, and sh

OPEN ROAD FILMS WILL RELEASE " TRIPLE NINE " NATIONWIDE ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 In TRIPLE NINE , a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist and the only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for "officer down.” Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack, triggering a breakneck action-packed finale tangled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.

Win Tickets To An Advance For DOLPHIN TALE 2 on Septmeber 6th at 10:30 am in Sacramento. It has been several years since young Sawyer Nelson ( Gamble ) and the dedicated team at the Clearwater Marine Hospital, headed by Dr. Clay Haskett ( Connick, Jr. ), rescued Winter. With the help of Dr. Cameron McCarthy ( Freeman ), who developed a unique prosthetic tail for the injured dolphin, they were able to save her life. Yet their fight is not over. Winter’s surrogate mother, the very elderly dolphin Panama, has passed away, leaving Winter without the only poolmate she has ever known. However, the loss of Panama may have even greater repercussions for Winter, who, according to USDA regulations, cannot be housed alone, as dolphins’ social behavior requires them to be paired with other dolphins. Time is running out to find a companion for her before the team at Clearwater loses their beloved Winter to another aquarium. Make sure to LIKE SandwichJohnFilms on Facebook and follow us
