important as her Harvard sheepskin. Alexandra Wentworth will write the
adaptation of the book, a lighthearted guide to becoming a bombshell.
* Dennis Dugan (BIG DADDY) is in talks to direct a sequel to JUMANJI for
Columbia Pictures based on a story he has outlined. His plan is to

could become JUMANJI 3.
* Pandemonium and producer David Permut will produce a project based on the
life story of Desmond T. Doss, a decorated WWII soldier who refused to fire
a gun. Terry Benedict will write the script. Doss was drafted to fight in
WWII, but when he told the board that his religious beliefs wouldn't allow
him to carry a weapon, he was told to go home. He refused on moral grounds,
and, though ridiculed by gun-toting cohorts, was sent to the South Pacific.
There, he was credited with saving 75 men during the battle of Okinawa, and
was awarded the Medal of Honor.
* Joel Gallen (NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE) is in negotiations to direct ROMANTIC

underwater kingdom with waste.
* Constantin Film has purchased Richard Regen's romantic caper script
BANKROBBER about a charming bank robber and the female FBI agent who is hot
on his trail.
* Paramount grabbed the pitch HARDBALL -- aka THE UNTITLED SOFTBALL PROJECT,
so as not to confuse it with the Keanu Reeves pic -- by writer Rick
Cleveland ("The West Wing," "Six Feet Under"). It's based on the L.A.
Weekly article "Hardball," by John Albert, about a real-life amateur league
baseball team in L.A. made up of former junkies and failed rock stars who
all rediscover their childhood love of baseball by playing weekends in
Griffith Park.
* Revolution Studios has picked up Herb Ratner's comedy pitch MR. LUCKY for
Bluestar Pictures to produce. The story centers on an up-and-coming casino
exec put in charge of the hotel's unluckiest high-roller, known as the
Whale. In trying to continue the Whale's losing streak, he unintentionally
becomes the gambler's lucky charm.
* Stephen T. Kay (GET CARTER) is in talks to take direct STATIC from a
script by Brad Gann. It's about the indicted leader of L.A.'s toughest
street gang who must do battle with rival mobsters as he crosses town to
testify before a federal grand jury against corrupt members of a police
anti-gang unit.
MISCELLANEOUS PRODUCTTION TIDBITS
* Julia Stiles is partnering in Smithy's Films, a new film production
company, with producer Eric Gitter and Steve Scavelli. The company is
working on an adaptation of a book as well as a sci-fi project described as
a cross between TOTAL RECALL and THE MATRIX.
* DreamWorks won the rights to make HAWAII FIVE-O, based on the classic cop
series, into a feature film. Roger Towne (THE NATURAL, upcoming THE FARM)
has written a script. The show centered on a specialty unit of the Hawaii
State Police that answered only to the governor and focused on organized
crime.
* South African production company Red Pepper and Canadian firm Partners in
Motion are developing ONE STEP BEHIND MANDELA, a documentary about former
South African president Nelson Mandela based on the memoirs of Rory Steyn, a
one-time apartheid policeman and self-proclaimed racist who served as his
bodyguard for five years. The project is ready to begin production.
* BBC Films has optioned SADDAM'S BOMBMAKER, an autobiography by Khidhir
Hamza. The former head of Iraq's nuclear weapons program, Hamza defected to
the United States in 1995. After studying nuclear physics at MIT, Hamza
settled in the U.S. until he was forced to return to Iraq to participate in
its nuclear program. While there, he had to hide from European assassins
while meeting deadlines set by Saddam Hussein. Hamza eventually led Iraq's
nuclear bomb-making efforts before fleeing the country with the aid of the
CIA in 1995.

NewLine, if you make a sequel to SE7EN, you will be the number o
by vegas
Seriously, leave SE7EN alone. It's perfect as it is. If you want to make SOLACE, fine, go right ahead, it's an interesting enough premise I guess, but drop all ties to SE7EN. They are not necessary, and would only serve to detract from one of the few classic films New Line has ever made. Just leave it alone.
-
SEQUELS! I swear to god if a sequel to The thomas crown affair, Se7en, or oceans eleven comes out i will have to kill someone. I dont think i have to explain why, everyone knows why. Freakin retarded. and what the hell kind of name is "oceans twelve". it doesnt even sound cool! unoriginal bastards! i bet the sequel to 7 will be called "Ei8ht"....GHASLKF

i can honestly now say, that i hate everything....

There are so many glorious projects just waiting to be discovered, and studios decide to do this. I weep . . .

Stan Lee will reprise his role as a hotdog vendor in an urban comic book adaptation called THE THANG.

by regis travolta
Brad would play an Iranian 7-11 clerk named Apu who gets mixed up in a casino heist while on the trail of a serial killer in Vegas. Just a thought but no worse than the weekly shit list we get here from Hollywood.

what is it with this?

Ethan Allen? Who wants to watch a movie about a furniture designer anyway? A sequel to Seven? What are the going to call it, Ei8ht? sk

way to copy my idea. In my previous posts i mentioned that the se7en sequel should be called Ei8ht, but i think those posts got deleted. i hate everything

What classic marketing. Why bother to explain the story in original terms, when you can crib from someone else? Someone gets a gold star for that one.
-
well, my post wasn't deleted. You should try not to copy other peoples ideas and claim them as your own. ass
-
I thought of this a long time ago, but i discarded the idea thinking that no one would ever do a remake of se7en. But, i was thinking that they could do something with the 7 heavenly virtues that go along with the 7 deadly sins. but really, heavenly virtues aren't that exciting, and wouldn't make a good thriller, at all.
ihateverything -
actually, i believe the 7 heavenly virtues are : faith, hope, charity, fortitude, justice, temperance, prudence . i think you confused them with the 10 commandments
-
whats left for the sequel is to churn out some worthless piece of crap to make lots of money. I guess thats' all they really need.

by buzz maverik
Excellent work, gentlemen. You too, Epicbond. Remember, the universe is big enough for us all to make SEVEN jokes. Here, I'll do one, although it is admittedly lame at such short notice. David Fincher will direct Seth Green, from a script by Andrew Kevin Walker, in which Green will be playing a geeky young cop out to stop a nerdly serial killer who is targeting talkbackers on AICN. New Line is toying with the title L7.
-
save your self-rightiousness for those who do not know any better. you stole that ei8ght thing from any number of entertainment sites that printed the story about a possible sequel during the last week. if there is one thing worse than presenting an idea as if its yours when its not, its criticizing someone for stealing your idea when you stole it from someone else to begin with. can you say, "busted"?

Buzz Maverik's Weekly Recap -- Brought To You By Our New Spo
by buzz maverik
Yes, Dope, ladies and gentlemen! Is life too ordinary, boring and painful? Would you like to meet new and different people. Enter the exciting world of Dope! Whether you like to smoke it, snort it, shoot it, swallow it or absorb it, there's a type of dope for your specific personality! From a mellow buzzing to mind destroying hallucinations, dope has something for everyone. Dope: it's what's getting you high. Brought to you by the Drug Dealer's Association of America. Now for the Recap: TAKEN FROM THE R. KELLY SEX VIDEOS-- Harold Ramis will direct a sequel to the '70s classic DOG DAY AFTERNOON, entitled DOG YEAR AFTERNOON. "I'd been wanting to do a crime film, but also follow up on GROUNDHOG DAY," Ramis said. The film will concern two gunmen, Bill Murray and Steve Buscemi, who take over the Chase Manhattan Bank. In a twist that would give Rod Serling the runs, they find that seven years have passed during their afternoon in the bank...Now to clear up a rumor. Rocker Marilyn Manson will not be playing Willy Wonka. Instead, he will star in the adaptation of another childrens book by Roald Dahn, EDDIE & THE ETERNAL DAMNATION, to be directed by Paul Schrader. Manson will play beloved character Devin Devil, who must escort five children through Hell. One by one, each child committs a good deed, which can get you in big trouble in Hell -- except for Eddie (Rupert Grimes) who remains a selfish little shit throughout. The film will feature CGI Impity Imps and Manson has already released some of the lyrics they will sing: "Impy-Impy-Impity-Imps, this is the place for perverts and pimps! Impy-Impy-Impity-Imps, Hell is where you go for fondling chimps!"...Ever since AMERICAN BEAUTY, the question on everyone's minds has been, "Where the fuck is Wes Bently? Did he O.D.? Did he get a sex change? Or what?" Or what indeed! Bently has been filming Donald Mickey Pluto's GINGER MAN about a slacker whose life is turned around when he gives an honest answer to the famous slacker question: "Which of the women on GILLIGAN'S ISLAND would you rather boink if you could only boink one?" Bentley's character, Crock, has always said Mary Anne, because like everyone else, he figured Ginger was out of his league. Charlize Theron co-stars as Ginger Grant, prompting protest from many an AICN talkbacker who wanted Tina Louise to reprise her role. Sources close to the production said, "Yeah, right, she's like 87 now."... SEE YOU AT THE SHAREHOLDERS MEETING...

-
Yes, epicbond, I must have swiped your joke idea. After all, I couldn't possibly have cooked up an original gag like that all by myself. Tell you what, just to save you the trouble here are some more jokes for you to have come up with first. The third part of the se7en trilogy will be called nin9, which will be followed by a prequel boldly titled 6ix! Howzat? In other news, I'm much more excited by Buzz Maverick's films than the so-called "real" ones. I for one plan on closing my eyes in the theater and pretending I'm watching another Buzz Maverick masterwork. sk
-
I never read any entertainment magazine with the "ei8ht" title in it. I just thought of it. granted a hundred people probably thought of it too, but the point was that i posted it, and then rev__skarekroe said the same thing. i dont give a damn, and i hate everything.
-
They suck ass. Selling 40,000 versions of the LOTR DVD and now planning to make a sequel to Se7en. Are they giant twats in suits, or just giant twats? Perhaps the sequel will feature around the eighth deadly sin, which is making sequels to films that don't need them. Jesus. What's next, Schindler's List 2? Reservoir Cats? Titanic Episode I: Tragedy At An Irish Shipyard?
-
I caught a look at the Snoop porno the other day. It's average.
-
We need a sequel to Seven just as much as we need a sequel to The Wiz with Diana Ross. Anyway. I always hoped they were going to make a decent Punisher flick. Now with the recent Marvel movies going strong, i'm pretty exited about this new Punisher movie. On the other hand. Don't know about the Sub-Mariner. How in the hell are they going to translate that to the big screen?
-
Okay, two of them, but that's 200% more than we've had in the last year. Kelly Brook and Christopher Lambert...the sign of a quality piece of cinema, I tell you. "Ocean's 11" is now "Ocean's Twelve," so shouldn't "Thomas Crown Affair" become "Thomas Crown Threesome"? Get Liz Hurley and Renee Russo to do it. Rowr. That "Guam to the Moon" flick's been in development hell for the last six years. Her name is Sarah Paulson; her name is Sarah Paulson; her name is Sarah Paulson...
-
I must say, I was sadly dissapointed to discover that the DIRECTOR Wayne Kramer was a totally different Wayne Kramer than the Godlike guitarist for the MC5. Poop. And the Dostoyevsky story is so autobiographical I'm amazed it's referred to as a "short story" at all. And oh yeah, like 289,367 other people didn't immediately think of "Ei8gt" when thinking of a sequel to "Se7en."
-
A sequel to SE7EN could be done, but not with Pitt. He has nothing more to contribute. It should star Freeman and some young up and comer like Ewen McGregor or Jim Cavaziel. Obviously, Freeman has to return from retirement. It can't be any worse than having him star in yet another killer thriller movie like ALONG CAME A SPIDER or KISS THE GIRLS. Freeman can carry a movie, whether it is a bad or good movie. Hell, let's see a sequel to BONE COLLECTOR, the Denzel Washington/Angelina Jolie thriller, while we're at it. There are several other books starring the character Washington essayed.
-
This might just work. With Jeff Bridges getting ready to play Keller, it looks like a bumper time for Lawrence Block fans.
-
I got it. So Pitt blows away Spacey, but it turns out he doesn't die. He just becomes comatose. THEN we find out that his wife is still alive and that Spacey just made an plaster cast of her head, putting a fake head in the box. SO Pitt uses space age technology to "jump" into Spacey's mind to find out where his wife is being held. I know it sounds like THE CELL, but it's different because I'll add elements from the Matrix and Total Recall. Either that or a 23 years after the first Se7en, a new serial killer starts to mimic Spacey's M.O. So the detective on the case tracks down Pitt, who's now a security guard at a strip mall, and gets him to help with the investigation. Then it turns out that the serial killer looks exactly like Gwenyth and Pitt is faced with the dilema of arrsesting or killing the person who could very well be the reincarnation of his dead wife.
-
That santa movie has so many plotholes in it! He doesn't need no steenking computers!
-
mark my words, Jake Gyllenhaal is the next big thing. Of course I also said Ralph Fiennes, Edward Norton, Gary Oldman and Julia Stiles were the next big things. but heck who cares, its nice to be able to bet on the next Hollywood racehorse =)

Thanks Walrus & Rev. Skarecroe! BTW, Anybody Hear About The Spec
by buzz maverik
Brad finds Gwyneth's head and blows Spacey away just like before. But in the new version, Jimmy Smits appears as Buck Griffith, Wonder Coroner! Buck has Gwyneth's body with him, and quickly reattaches her head to it. They hook her up to some car batteries and she wakes up as good as new but with a sore throat. Sadly, the cops still have to arrest Brad for killing Kevin, but again Buck comes to rescue. He pulls out a video camera and shows a tape he took of Kevin opening his mouth to reveal a secret throat-gun and taking a first shot at Brad. So Brad's killing was self defense! Everything ends at Brad and Morgan's favorite hangout, Blind Willie's Pizza Parlor (although Gwyneth's throat is still a little raw for pizza so she sips some flat Sprite). Kevin's spirit appears, smiling benignly and waving seven times.
-
awesome...

'Another case of murder as a result of the victim being horribly tortured, this time he suffocated to death by his own ass..... this note written in the suspects own pen ink claims he wasn't charitable enough...'
