David Twohy talks Riddick sequels:
The Chronicles of Riddick director David Twohy talked to Scifi Wire about his action packed
Vin Diesel flick. Riddick is the sequel to Twohy's Pitch Black and he wants to
make more Riddick movies. He explained how he got the Studio interested in the Riddick movie
and possible sequels, trust me, you're gonna love this:
"They didn't sign me to do three. They didn't sign [the actors] to do three. ... What we have said-[producer and star] Vin [Diesel] and I- ... is that we have thought about the characters and plotted the characters for three Chronicles. ... And so we know in our heads where we are going. And we've talked to the other [actors] about where their characters would be going in future installments of the film.
The second Chronicles of Riddick movie will pick up the story the minute after this one ends. And I'll tell you how we sold it to the studio, how we got them enamored of the idea of three films, because at first they weren't. ... When I turned in the first draft of the script, I had leather binders made up that said The Chronicles of Riddick. ... And I put the executive's name stamped in gold down in the right hand corner, and I put a lock on it. And a week before I turned in the script I sent them the key. And the key said, 'This is the key that will open the doors to untold myth and riches' or something like that.
And so they had the key for a week. ... 'What the hell does this go to?' And then I sent them the covers, and they got it on the weekend. They had to stick their key in, turn the key, open up the script. And then in the first story meeting I had other volumes made for C2 and C3. And I just sat them down on the desk. And they were talking about the first script, and they're looking at it. 'Boy, can we read those?' I said, 'Nope. No key. You don't have the key.'"
That's a great story, huh? The Chronicles of Riddick opens June 11 (and two months later over
here in Holland, man, that sucks!).

Carsten Norgaard talks AVP:
Carsten Norgaard, one of the stars of the upcoming Alien vs Predator movie talked to About.com about the movie.
Here's a clip:
Does it suck for an actor when the monsters are the star?
You know, monsters couldn't be in the movies by themselves. They need humans. Some sacrificial lambs. I mean, the first day I arrived on the set, we did a camera test. There was this gigantic shadow came over me, and I turned around and I looked up. It's like an eight foot huge predator, cool hairdo and some insanely cool gadgets and weaponry. It was spectacular.
What was your first meeting with Paul W.S. Anderson like?
Well, I worked with Paul on Soldier as well, so he put me up for it. I tested a couple times at Fox for it and then he called me and said, "You're going to get an offer." I think what's great about this is it's been Paul Anderson's dream to make this movie since he was a teenager. What better than to have somebody whose dream it is to do this movie actually direct it? I think he managed to pay homage to both franchises and I think both die hard fans and grassroot fans alike are going to be in for a treat.

First Spider-man 2 review!:
The very first review of Spider-man 2 appeared online over at AICN.
Moriarty highly recommends the flick, "I fucking loved this movie from end to end, and I think it has just raised the bar again for what we should expect from Marvel Films. More importantly, Sam Raimi has proven himself to be not just a damn fine commercial filmmaker, but has also finally managed to make a mainstream movie that is 100% Sam Raimi."
There ya go! I can't wait to see it, click here to read the full review but beware of spoilers though.

I'm your worst nightmare...:
Movie Hole received another Rambo IV update.
Grab your guns, guys, Rambo might get another mission:
"Well here is an update as to who Kassar, Vajna and the Weinsteins want to helm this new Rambo film. According to a source of mine, the names on the top of the directors list are F. Gary Gray (The Negotiator), John McTiernan (Die Hard) and Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro).
The rumored plot for the next Rambo film is that nuclear weapons are lost and Rambo is called in to lead a team to locate the weapons of mass destruction before...BOOM!!! There is an even bigger plot behind all this.
The film is tentative to go into production next summer for a release in Summer 2006. The budget they are aiming for is 75-90 million and that takes into account the rumored 30 million that Kassar, Vajna and the Weinsteins plan on paying Sly to play Rambo again. Kassar & Vajna of C2 will pay Sly 15 million and Bob & Harvey Weinstein of Miramax/Dimension Films will pay Sly the other 15 million to make up the massive 30 million payday. Only fellow action hero governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has ever gotten so much money for a single film!"

Newsflash:
I've got some great headlines to start off the week! Here we go:
The trailer for Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is now online! The movie stars Jim Carrey as the wily villain Count Olaf.
A third trailer for Alex Proyas' scifi-action-flick I, Robot is now online! Click here to see Will Smith fighting creepy robots.
And the winners of The MTV Movie Awards 2004 are... well, the winner for The Best Kiss went to Starsky & Hutch, you know, the Owen Wilson & Carmen Electra & Amy Smart threesome kiss, yeah baby! Kirsten Dunst also appeared with Spider-man... but the man behind the mask was Ellen DeGeneres! The show will air later this week (and hopefully also in Europe). Click here to see the complete winners list.
Jake "Donnie Darko" Gyllenhaal is Superman... according to Star Magazine. Other sources claim that Henry Cavill is the one and only Man of Steel. I don't know... and I don't care, I think they're both not the right man for the job.
Monkey Peaches got a John Woo scoop, seems that the Hong Kong director is interested in doing a sequel to Face/Off, his 1997 blockbuster with John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. Woo is a busy man, 'cause he also wants to make The Rock's Spy Hunter and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six.

Terminator 4 and Terminator 5 coming soon???:
Alright, take this one with a big grain of salt, it probably isn't true but I'm gonna post it anyway... cause this would rock if it was really going to happen!
An employee of C2 Pictures contacted Moviehole about two Terminator sequels and guess who's going to direct one of them:
"Terminator 4" - and semi-surprisingly, "Terminator 5" - as a bit of a follow-up to the comments The Rock makes this month about doing a two-hander with Schwarzenegger. Seems there is a possibility of that happening.
'Anonymous' says "T4 will not be the last Terminator film. In fact, Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna have already signed Jonathan Mostow to write and direct Terminator 4 and will try to woe James Cameron himself for the last film in the Terminator franchise, Terminator 5. Afterall, Mr. Cameron loves a great sequel and Mario and Andy are going to make him an offer he can't refuse".
And is there any truth to the rumours that The Rock's going to appear in one of them? "The Rock wants to star in Terminator 4 only if Schwarzenegger is in the film."
James freakin' Cameron??? And they're going to make him an offer he can't refuse??? This I gotta see, only Don Corleone can pull this off!

Sam Raimi talks Spider-man 2:
Spider-man director Sam Raimi had a nice chat with Scifi Wire.
He talked about the idea of using more than one villain for the Spidey sequel:
"Well, there were a lot of different iterations of the story, and at times there was more than one villain, and at times there were more than two villains. But it all came down to trying to focus on what I felt was the strongest aspect of the film and diminishing everything else so that it could live.
The strongest aspect of the film is Peter Parker [Maguire] and his journey to becoming a responsible young man. So after we had one villain to test his mettle against and to be in conflict with Spider-Man, I found that there were diminishing returns for the second and third villains, since our real story was an interior story, this journey to be a human hero, how Peter Parker battles the problems of being a hero, how he copes. The more villains that we added into the mix didn't seem to make the story richer and stronger. It seemed to diminish [it], in fact."
