Renny Harlin saves the day?:
Renny Harlin is taking over The Exorcist: The Beginning horror flick from fired director
Paul Schrader. Schrader wanted to make a psychological thriller without the gore but had to leave the
project due to "creative differences" with the studio. Now Harlin is on board, expect a more commercial
take on the prequel. Reshoots will start at the end of November. WB and Morgan Creek will release the movie
in April or May 2004.

Angel talks Crow 4!:
Angel star David Boreanaz talked about his role in the upcoming The Crow: Wicked Prayer.
He plays the leader of an evil biker gang who murders Jimmy Cuervo (Edward Furlong) and his girlfriend as
part of a ritual. Cuervo rises from the dead to take revenge:
"I was a bad guy," Boreanaz says. "He was the leader of [this gang called] The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,
an ex-con. It was great. I had a lot of fun. It was a hard-paced film. We shot in 23 days. It was not an
easy shoot. But from what I hear from the trailer, it looks great. I've seen a little bit of dailies, I'm
happy. Dimension Films is happy. It could breathe some good life into a franchise that's been dead for a
while."
Will it top Brandon Lee's version? I don't think so! But I'm always in for a good Crow movie...

Carrey is The 6 Million Dollar Man:
Jim Carrey is playing the lead in The Six Million Dollar Man. The movie is based on the
populair TV series and will be directed by Todd Phillips (Old School). That means the TV series will turn
in to a comedy with these two guys attached, I still wonder if this is a good or bad thing...

Clive Owen talks King Arthur:
Actor Clive Owen talks about his leading role in King Arthur: "It's a new take on the whole King Arthur story -- unlike anything you've ever seen before. What I didn't realise is that King Arthur is actually a myth that developed over hundreds of years and has been slowly pieced together. There's this sort of romantic vision of Arthur. Our version is set earlier than its usually set. We have it at 500 A.D. as opposed to medieval times. Basically, the Roman empire is crumbling. I play Arthur, who is half-Roman. He's a commander of a crack team of military knights who, at the beginning of the movie, gets the mission from hell -- to go into dangerous, unknown territory and rescue a family as the Saxons are invading by the thousands, and the rebels are out there fighting. Meanwhile, Arthur has always held onto Rome as something he wants to return to and something he reveres, but it keeps changing."
The movie is directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

The Missing Poster:
Check out this great looking poster for The Missing. The movie is directed by Ron Howard and stars Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett. "The Missing is the story of Maggie Gilkeson (Cate Blanchett), a young woman raising her two daughters in an isolated and lawless wilderness. When her oldest daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) is kidnapped by a psychopathic killer with mystical powers (Eric Schweig), Maggie is forced to re-unite with her long estranged father (Jones) to rescue her. The killer and his brutal cult of desperados have kidnapped several other teenage girls, leaving a trail of death and horror across the desolate landscape of the American Southwest. Maggie and her father are in a race against time to catch up with the renegades and save her daughter, before they cross the Mexican border and disappear forever."

Aliens vs. Predator Details:
Superhero Hype
posted Aliens vs. Predator story details and what kind of movie director Paul W.S. Anderson
has got in store for us. "Anderson tells us there is plenty of knock down action, alien & predator deaths
to keep everyone happy. He mentioned that he is the biggest Alien & Predator freak in the world, that he's
seen them more than any one and knows everything there is to know about the films. From what we saw (a
video montage of clips from all the predator & alien films) this looks to be the best fan favorite team up
since Freddy vs. Jason..."
That's good news, got my hopes up again, click here
to read the story details, beware of spoilers though.

Muppets and Rambo:
Got some interesting newsbits for ya:
The Muppets will again have someone's hand up their ass when they reunite for their version of The Wizard of Oz. The movie is another classic re-telling of a popular tale like Muppet Treasure Island and Muppet Christmas Carol. Man, I'd love to see Muppets doing a Silence of the Lambs movie with Kermit as Dr. Lecter!
Stallone talked to Peoples Magazine about Rambo IV:"I think Rambo is going to happen" meaning a fourth installment of the action series. The 57-year old actor says he won't be the only one playing the run and gun hero, but will bring in a new young star to take over. "Youth" says stallone, "must be served."

The Punisher rated R + New Poster:
This is good news, seems that the comicbook movie The Punisher is not for kids, the filmmakers want it to be hardcore so
that means an R-rating. "Obviously, we aren't in a position to rate the film", says producer Gale Anne Hurd,
"But in terms of the intensity and in terms of the action and all of that, the intent was certainly
not to make the G, PG or PG-13 version. That's certainly quite a distinction from the Hulk and
Spider-Man and the characters by rights that belong into a PG or PG-13 world. The Punisher doesn't."
Co-producer Ari Arad adds:"He's never been aimed towards younger kids. I think he was someone most
people discovered later. We never wanted to try it as PG-13. It's going to be The Punisher. It's
going to be intense. We never wanted to water it down for a younger audience."
