Superman costume:
Superherohype has some interesting news about the Superman costume design. According to a reliable source the suit is dark blue, probably without the cape, padding underneath to highlight the muscles and the "S" is not placed on a yellow but black background....
(Supes also wears a pink boxershort)
Riddick Returns:
SciFi.com talked to Tripple X star Vin Diesel about the Pitch Black sequel Chronicles of Riddick where he's taking on some new alien villains: "I've been creating creature characteristics and attributes you won't see until scene two or scene three and researching on the Internet to explain negative matter: where these villains come from, these Necromongers. [We have to explain] their scientific existence. We're going to create this huge universe. And I'm excited about exploring this character's purpose in this universe and what his whole deal is".
Writer/ Director David Twohy is also attached for the sequel and also wants to make a third chapter. Diesel and Twohy mentioned a "Evil" Star Wars-like trilogy.

The good news, SPFX guru Phil Tippett will be directing this one. Tippett also created the effects for the first part, the original cast will not be involved.

Hulk trailer description: Coming soon has a great report from the annual ShoWest convention. The place where all the studio's present their upcoming movies. A new Hulk trailer was shown and someone made the following report: "It was loaded with shots of Bruce Banner changing into the Hulk and dozens of shots of the Hulk from close ups to arial shots. This was the highlight of the reel and man did they get the character exactly as I remember when I used to read the comics. This could be bigger than the SPIDER-MAN movie. My favorite shots were the Hulk picking up Jennifer Connelly and when the Hulk jumps off a cliff holding onto a helicopter. (Could have been an airplane, it happened so fast) Even the shots of the Hulk leaping, what appears to be, a mile were realistic (I mean believable). "We get shots of the dose of radiation that curses Banner, the lab, total destruction of an army after the Hulk, warm and fuzzy shots of the Hulk and total mayhem of practically everything in the Hulk's path. I can't wait for this movie." Well, I also can't wait! I wanna see the Hulkster right now!!! |
Ennio Morricone writes soundtrack for dutch movie:
Well folks, I live in a crazy small country known as The Low Lands. Holland doesn't make movies that often, but when we make one it'll end up being nomimated (and winning) for best foreign movie (Character, Antonia's Line and this years Zus & Zo). Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports something unbelievable that probably give the dutch movie business a nice boost. Ennio Morricone will compose the soundtrack for a little dutch movie called Sportman van de Eeuw, translation is Athlete of the Century! The movie tells the story of a pole sitting champion who wants to break the record but it'll take his whole life to achieve this goal. He sees the changes of the 20th century as the years go by. From the economical depression, WW II, to some typical dutch traditions.
Writer Mischa Alexander who worked on dutch commercial movies like Volle Maan and All Stars will direct this picture. Producer E. Rechsteiner mentioned that Morricone was very intrigued by the story of typical dutch people from the northern part of Holland and their traditions. Morricone thought it was the best script he read since Cinema Paradiso. The film will be reased next summer 2004.
