Movie gossip

As you might have noticed from the title, I'm back with more movie info! Lol. Well..for those who don't bother to be as kepo as me...might as well just put it all in one post rite? If you want to get the latest movie info or rumours yourself, Rotten Tomatoes is a pretty good site to go to. Or if you're into chinese movies head to Monkey Peaches.

Movie Sequels News:
1. Batman - Yup, they're starting on the sequel, as per my last movie post. Borneo Post printed a small article announcing that they've chosen the new Joker. Guess who? Heath Ledger!! My gosh..of all ppl....I think I'd still prefer Robin Williams, at least he's funny right? But they say they want a totally diff performance from the Jack Nicholson Joker. Earlier rumours claimed that Johnny Depp was in line for the Joker. That would have been incredibly cool. Johnny Depp would guarantee a great performance. Plus, apparently there's going to be MULTIPLE villains! Gee, are they taking a page out of Spiderman 3's book? The man who in the future becomes the villain Two-Face (perhaps played by Jude Law) might appear, just as in Spiderman 3. Another rumoured villain is supposed to be female...and might be played by The Mummy's Rachel Weisz.

I wish I knew how to FIRE him as the Joker!

2. Hellboy - Yes..there's going to be a Hellboy sequel..tho the 1st one didn't do that well. But guess they think that the fanboys are still going to want to go.

3. National Treasure 2 - For me, it was a pretty interesting movie. C'mon, stealing the Declaration of Independence? What a crazy idea...but it worked. The good guys didn't use guns at all in the movie...and they had some innovative ways of finding the treasure. Critics called it the 'Da Vinci Code' wannabe. However, as per my review of it earlier....the original Da Vinci Code movie was crappy...so..yea...why not a sequel to National Treasure?

4. The Mummy - Was watching the Mummy Returns last nite...and went to read up on Wikipedia about it. And guess what i found? All the actors and the director are keen to do a sequel...and rumours have it...it'll be next yr! I enjoyed the first movie more than the 2nd ..but both were pretty ok...c'mon..i like adventure movies....and they were funny..with some icky parts...and yay..more of Brendan Fraser with Rachel Weisz. They make a good couple!..ahah

Oh Brendan, save me! No, Rachel, save ME from the Mummy!

Game Movie News:
1. Halo - Yup...i think this is a long delayed movie in the making. Previous rumours had Ben Affleck in one of the major roles, which I hope isn't true, coz it'll just look like Armageddon. There's also news that Denzel Washington will play Sarge or something. And producers are trying to get Peter Jackson of LOTR to direct. I guess it'll be good with him in charge. Sorry I don't know more, but I don't play the game.

2. DOA:Dead or Alive - At least I've played this, in my 'younger' years. Lol...it's a fighting game...but rather..sexist in my opinion. And yes...the movie also follows in the footsteps of the game. 5 hot gals for all the fanboys to lust over: Jaime Pressly, Devon Aoki, Holly Valance, Sarah Carter, Natassia Malthe.

Jaime Pressly: No, i don't need Botox yet

Is this statue too big to go round my neck? Holly Valance, Jaime, Devon Aoki

And the obligatory bikini photo for all u guys out there :P

I only know the first 3...but the other 2 look pretty hot too. They're going to be dressed in sexy get-ups, of coz they'll look hot. Plus..they're including the beach volleyball part of the game. So..you also get 5 babes in skimpy Bikinis...what more could a guy ask for rite??.....Talk about overdoing the sex factor. But it's directed by Corey Yuen..hmm..My prediction? A movie that tries too hard and will fail.

Asian Movie News:
1. Jet Li & Jackie Chan - There's been talks of them to star in the same movie and the latest news is that it's going to be loosely based on 'Journey to the West'. Jackie might be a drunken master (as per his recent performance at Jonathan Lee's concert) and Jet as the Tang monk, Tripitaka. It'll also apparently incorporate some time travel storyline. In a nutshell, it's claimed to be something like Karate Kid meets Drunken Master and Journey to the West plus some Time Machine...Hmm...I'd rather Jet VS Jackie!

Gasp! Jet & Jackie..wat r u doing?

2. Donnie Yen - Newspaper reports that he's been approached by the Lee family...to play Bruce Lee in the movie they're producing! Donnie says he's interested but he doesn't feel that he's fit enuff yet. Gosh, have you guys seen his muscles? Check out Dragon Tiger Gate...they're huge!...Well..i do think he would be the best person to play Bruce Lee..after all, he had the hair in Dragon Tiger Gate..ahhaah!

Advert for his hair..or deodorant?

3. Dragon Tiger Gate - Yes, there'll be a sequel!! Alrite..more of guys with flyaway long silky hair...ahhaha!!...Donnie Yen has stated that the 3 of them will be back for more high kicking action.....together with his 'love interest' from the 1st movie. My suggestion? Try deviating from the original comic storyline..just a lil bit pls..You'll understand y if you watch the movie.

4. Jay Chou - Jay's new movie, together with Gong Li and Chow Yun Fat is now called 'Curse of the Golden Flower' from the original title 'The City of Golden Armour'. Hmm..i prefer the original title more. Anyway, here are some pics from the movie, directed by Zhang Yimou, showing Jay as the 2nd oldest prince of the Emperor (Chow Yun Fat).

So serious lar.., can u spot Jay?


Design sketches of Jay's character


Hebe,
look at all my bling bling!


5. Chow Yun Fat - Besides his Zhang Yimou movie, he's also doing Pirates of the Caribbean. Here are some pics of how he looks as a chinese pirate.


Arr lassie, does my braided mustache and yellow teeth turn you on?
