BLACK HAWK DOWN scribe to take the reigns on Jake Gyllenhaal's Untitled Moon-based Sci-Fi flick!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. So this sci-fi flick, as yet untitled, has been circling for a bit with Jake Gyllenhaal attached. Doug Liman is directing and co-wrote the original draft with I LOVE YOU, MAN's John Hamburg for Paramount. Now Ken Nolan, who scripted BLACK HAWK DOWN and the in-development-hell ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK remake, is taking a stab at the material. Hollywood Reporter has the story.
The only thing I know about the flick is that it's an action film about lunar colonization. I'm sure it'll be big budget spectacle entertainment, but hopefully Nolan can bring some of the character-driven tension over from his BLACK HAWK DOWN work.
What do you folks think?

..Sam Rockwells "Moon" right?

Macgruber!

liman sux. gyllenhal is overrated.

One of my ATF's.Obama liked Jake so much in 'Rendition' that it convinced him to keep the ol' rendition torch alive. AWESOME.

I'm tired and going to bed, so fuck it.

Now that I can catch Patrick Swayze in a cheesy USA sitcom (already forgot the name), I'm only interested if the sci-fi is way obtuse and laden with smurf references.

it becomes common sense to set up a new username on AICN. I mean, how in the high holy hell can you set up a new name here? There used to be an actual button as I recall, but I see nothing now. Just don't mean to cross streams with Binks anymore.

Does this scuttle my planned adaptation of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress?

Why, oh, why did Heath have to leave us? He would have won the Oscar THIS time!

"Meet me in the tower."
"We don't have a tower sir."
"No tower?"
"Just a bridge sir."
"WHY THE HELL AREN'T I NOTIFIED ABOUT THESE THINGS!?!" -
I started adapting TMIAHM years ago. The few people I showed my drafts to were impressed - at it's heart is a very visual story, crying out for the big screen. I never finished it of course - mainly as I didn't see any point since without rights no-one is going to touch it, and if they already have the rights they probably already have someone in mind to do the adaptation.
Damn those chickens and their blasted eggs. Damn them to heck. -

"So tell me Christian Bale, how exactly does one suck a fuck?!"
by bill brasky
I can only imagine the scene: Evil Americans escaping the Earth (that they destroyed with evil carbon emmissions) and colonizing the moon, which by-the-way, is already inhabited by the innocent Chinese and their allies, the Mexicans (because we wouldn't let any Mexicans past our borders.) Its WAR!

I'm trying to fucking do a scene here, and I am going "Why the fuck is Shane walking in there? What is he doing there?" Do you understand my mind is not in the scene if you're doing that?Shane: I absolutely apologize. I'm sorry, I did not mean anything by it.Bale: Stay off the fucking set man. For fuck-sake.

We don't get them that often, and now it looks like we're being spoiled with two. The other one is MOON, starring Sam Rockwell, which I'm eagerly anticipating... especially because it looks like they actually use sets, and miniatures instead of a shitload of green screens and fake looking CGI.
-
pretty gay
-
Man I hope its as good as the first one!
-
...thought it was just a bunch of soldiers running around shooting waves and waves of skinny black people.
-
...I guess they were, but they weren't bad because they were black. They were bad because they were skinny. I mean they were black because they were skinny...oh, never mind.
-
I always considered the new Galactica as Black Hawk Down in space. Same shooting style, lighting, dialogue etc. So say we all!
-
I will bet 2 weeks pay that the 7 million dollar Carpenter original will blow away the 100 million + remake. Guaranteed. Skip the remake and do something NEW.
-
Is he really someone with clout to say, "Jake Gyllenhaal's untitled sci-fi moon pic?" Who fuck is h, really?
-
Have no problem with JG, he's an okay character actor but not a leading man, action star. Its a cliche' with Hollywood family conncections but Paul Newman taught him to drive for fucks sake! Just like Colin Hanks and Kate Hudson without the nepotism, I doubt Jake would have gone as far.
-
Why hasn't anyone moved to put that on the bg screen...that was such a cool concept, it has blockbuster hit written all over it???
-
Sci fi has been an barely breathing genre for a while now.

Bill Brasky-You're unbelievable, you're un-fucking-believable
by iwasredempted
thanks for the transcript. i don't have sound at work and reading that made me chuckle. say what you will about the whole incident but anyone that can string along that many f-bombs is aces in my book.
-
He should have let Bale dive right back in to the scene while he was in the middle of his freakout. Potential outtake gold and I guarantee BDH would have wet her pants.
-
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY man. totally agree. mcg is a fucking amateur. i'm sure he and bale are done professionally.
-
I've been hoping sci fi would make a comeback! Too many crappy movies almost killed the genre...it seems as though there is a resurgence of quality sci fi.
-
you beat me to it.
-
I'll say it again: Quite often, what happens during the making of a movie is more entertaining than what ends up on the screen.
-
Also, put me down for "Space 2099."
-
Pretty good food, but no atmosphere.
-
I will forever be an admirer of hes for makeing the conscious decision to have Jason Bourne and Marie hug at the end of the movie showing genuine affection as opposed to immediately going into lip-lock like EVERY OTHER ending of the sort.
Also, yes, Black Hawk Down had a plot. Just like Apollo Thirteen and Flight 93 and The Missiles of October and every other movie closely based upon ACTUAL EVENTS. -
and put Knight in bed with two girls in the first episode.
Doug might find lunar excursion modules cramped quarters, but we shall see what he can arrange. -
