RUMORS on HANNIBAL, DIRTY DANCING 2, BLAIR WITCH 2 and CELEBRATE YOUTH plus more!
Hey folks, Harry here with a bevy of juicy RUMORS, I say rumors because well... that's what these are. I did a run through with some folks on the BLAIR WITCH 2 bit... they confirmed that... so... who knows, maybe this is the beginning of a cool new spy. I'm still working on the others, and I'm headed out to L.A. to do checking on a buncha stuff. I can say that as best as my LIGHTSTORM sources can tell, the rumor started by 4FilmMakers.Com is not true, but at the same time... something is active on the property right now, I know that for a fact. So something is afoot. Here's this stuff, and remember to take it with a grain of salt!
Little pitchers have BIG EARS.
Listen, you probably don't believe me but I am a person that works for a
studio. I'm just a nobody on the bottom of the food chain who keeps his ears
open with some info that might be of some use to you.
First, a "friend" at Artisan told me that the new co-star being considered
for Dirty Dancing 2 is Jennifer Lopez. (I kinda find that hard to believe)
but paired up with Ricky Martin, well...
Hannibal DEFINITLEY started shooting on Friday in Florence, Italy and the
studio is now trying to rush for a Xmas 2000 release date, moving up from
Feburary, 2001.
I read a KILLER, hilarious and raunchy, hot spec script called "Celebrate
Youth" that has cameo parts specifically written for BRAT PACKERS Molly
Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, Michael Schoeffling, Anthony Michael
Hall, Judd Nelson and C. Thomas Howell + Paul Gleason. It's a coming of age
comedy that takes place in 1984 (total spoof on the decade of decadence)
about a group of kids who BLACKMAIL RICK SPRINGFIELD (Who I heard, read the
script and loved it).
Another friend told me that Blair Witch 2 dailies look like shit. AND
there's an ORGY SCENE (ala Eyes Wide Shut & Summer of Sam) that was shot for
the film that many think, doesn't even belong in it. Blair Witch 2, Orgy? I
don't get it.
Anyway, I hope this info is helpful. You probably don't believe a word, but
I swear, ALL OF IT'S TRUE. Ask around about the orgy thing. You'll see.
Nice talking to you. I will keep my ears open.

BW2 & DD2? How important is this? Hannibal we know (what little there is) and
-
Hmmm. From someone who REALLY works for a studio I can guarantee 2 things. 1) Hannibal began filming not last Friday but Monday May 8. And 2) the release date is firm for Feb 14th 2001. Those are facts folks.
-
ZZZZZZ! Whose ass should we kick to get Space above and Beyond back on the air?
-
Ummmm, maybe it's just me, but doesn't that seem kinda rushed? I mean, it's only 7 months from now. Seems a bit strange. As for the supposed orgy scene in Blair Witch 2, well, I flat out refuse to believe it. I just sounds so completely out of place that it makes me think of a Mad magazine parody more then anything else. Now, I loved the first movie and have long had reservations about making a sequel--Hollywood, stop MILKING things, dammit!!--but the initial reports on the new film's progress have made me cautiously hopeful. This little tidbit has the potential to pretty much send that hope to the bottom faster then the Titanic so I will hold off judgement until Harry gets official confirmation of this news. Here I am, crossing my fingers. . .
-
is one of the most disturbing things I've come across on this site. Even more disturbing than Flmlvr's praise of Center Stage.
-
Hannibal began filming this month and they plan to be done by Christmas? We're talking a SERIOUS rush job on editing and promotion. As for Blair Witch 2, I wouldn't mind an orgy scene with Heather Donahue... she seemed inordinately cute, even in a camping parka.
-
Sounds like the title of an Up With People album. Interesting sounding spec - wonder where it's being propped up. You wouldn't happen to be the writer or the writer's best friend, would you and could let us know? :)

Why Hannibal is the most important film of the new millenium
by bud the chud
I am eagerly awaiting Hannibal, because it is the closet thing to a mainstream CHUD film to come out in years. We need more people to realized that CHUD are people too, we just happen to be cannibals who dwell underground, and if that's wrong, well then I don't want to be right. But enough of me tooting my own horn, Hannibal Lector, I salute you. You are a fine man, and a shining example of a cannibalistic role model.
-
Silence of the lambs was valentine's day 1991- it's a tradition dammit!!!!
-
I guess that most of the Talk Backers on this subject arent children of the 80's who, like me, (and apparently harry as well) have a total nostalgic thingy for the classic, sometimes brilliant, sometimes horrid, Brat Pack films. Oh and FYI...CELEBRATE YOUTH is a song title of Rick Springfield's...Its appropriate, in the same way Detroit Rock City was for the Kiss film.
-
... if the movie is going to use wicca as a plot point as in initiation in some sects involes four females and the warlock haveing symbolic sex with one another, the women being the four points of the compass or the four winds and the male repesenting the horned god. keep that in mind the next time ya watch "charmed".

The Blair Witch Orgy is fine... as long as digital figures cover
by moviecrypt
Sad, isn't it? The Undead have spoken.
-
that guy's probably talking about a piece of crap that is being shown on direcTV called THE BARE WENCH PROJECT, about a bunch of girls doing it in the forest, you know, they're trying to be clever with those porn titles... idiots!
-
There's nothing like a gratuitous orgy scene. Nothing has yet to compare with the Clockwork Orange scene, and I could name off ones that could've been done better, namely Conan. I'm all for it. Especially in a ridiculous sequel. There should be no sequel to BWP. A standalone work of underfunded, extra-special art. As for the Brat-pack reunion, it's about goddamn time. But what about Demi? Rob Lowe? Emilio? Ally Sheedy? Definite must-haves. Those were good times, weren't they?
-
...the part where the guy's head drops off, grows legs and walks away. Anyway, Heather is not in BW2. And as for the dailies looking bad - you think the dailies from the first were great looking bwahaha? The whole point is that it's supposed to look bad because their hand-held shots done by non-professionals. What a dumbass scoop.
-
Argh! That has to be the only film I have actively tried to make myself fall asleep in. 'Oh no, someone's making handicrafts at us!' And let me say, as someone who has done geography and wandered off into unexplored parts of the countryside with friends, no matter how drunk or stoned you are, no-one is ever, EVER stupid enough to throw away the map. Drawing humourous doodles on it is fine however, but it does tend to annoy more studious members of the group...
-
The BW2 dailies look like shit? Well, I'm glad they're sticking to the spirit of the first film! That orgy scene
is the first thing good I've heard about that lame ass film! Actually, I wouldn't ge my hopes up... knowing
what fucking sell outs they all are, they're probably talking about the 2 minute commercial for the new Orgy
CD in the middle of the movie!
- Now about that new Harry head... is that supposed to be from the Thing? -
Hey Trenchturd, why don't you stick to something you know about, like blathering. Wicca and the Blair Witch Project have about as much in common as you and knowledge. Oh, and just a little education, Warlocks only exhist in hollywierd. Most male witches are just "Witches".
As for Blair Witch Project 2, can't they think of something better to make. Like Starship Troopers II?! -
Why can't Warlocks have sex? They have Hollow-weenies!

What else could it
be?If it were "The

be keys or a scroll on

the Thing,it'd have
crab legs and
eye-stalks.As far as I
know,that leaves
either Transformers or
just a reference to
those nifty Amazonan
insects whose abdomens
look like skulls,big

nothing left?!?Here's

Indeed! -
hell yeah, at least the sequel would have something worth watching. they'd probably fuck it up with the "realistic" shaky cam and you'd end up getting dizzy looking at titties. I agree with the poster above, they should combine this with dirty dancing. that'd be something worth seeing.
-
I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds Heather Donahue attractive.
-
Cuz if ya do they just get bigger.
-
Good job of Artisan to sour the name of the one hit film they'll ever get. At least if the sequel bombs, it'll spare us a shitty prequel too.And Jennifer Lopez couldn't possibly be dumb enough to do Dirty Dancing 2, could she?
-
You guys really need to get a life. All you do is bitch and complain about EVERYTHING that is posted on this site... what the hell's wrong with you?
I loved Blair Witch, any one who can't at least respect what they did doesn't really understand the art of film. Now I hated the fact that they wanted to do more.. but of course it was inevitable. At least they got someone who was smart about it to direct. Joe Berlinger (Paradise Lost) said that he didn't want to be the man to destroy the series so he threw out the original ideas and wrote his own. Read all about it Entertainment Weekly and Coming Attractions (Corona). So at this point, how much this movie will suck depends on Berlinger's script.
My parents will surely be excited about Dirty Dancing 2 and the brat pack movie? Movies like this always suck, you want them to be good but they are just a script based on someone's weak plot tied around a group of people that the writer thought would be interesting cameos. Detroit Rock City is a great example... funny, sort of but weak.
Anyway - if you all hate movies so much what are you doing on this site~??! If you think you can make them better go out and DO IT~!!! With the digital video market there is no excuse anymore... the industry is wide open~! You can make a silly little Flash animation and get it seen~!
This is the first Talkback I've read that doesn't mention Star Wars~~!
... and Heather is hot~!! -

'dirty dancing 2: rump shaker' and heather the hottie
by tommy five-tone
there was a time last summer when heather graham was grabbing every magazine cover in sight. sure, she's hot stuff, but it all got pretty stale eventually: "gee, i LOOK innocent but i just want to blow ed burns every chance i get." (i'm paraphrasing, of course.) and every photo was more of the same: juxtaposition of homecoming queen face and porn star titties. never thought i'd say this, but i was sick of looking at heather graham. then i was thumbing through a copy of 'details' (it turned to shite when it tried to compete with 'maxim' et al, but i still checked it out once in a while) and saw the antidote: heather donahue. i really only knew her from the 'blair witch' nostril shot, so imagine my delight when i got a load of a cheesecake photo of a bewitching gal-next-door type with a saucy smile and cleavage that kicked my sorry ass around the block. WORSHIP THE TRUE HEATHER, LOWLY DOGS!!! what does this have to do with 'BW2'? fuck all, to be honest. but if there's an orgy and ms donahue's not there to show off her blouse fulla goodies, i'm gonna pull a billy jack and just...go...BERSERK! and while we're talking nudity, the only i'd stand for 'dirty dancing 2' is if ms lopez exposed that bodacious ass. 'celebrate youth' sounds cool, if only because i'm still waiting for that long-overdue anthony michael hall comeback ("gimme tha keeze!" - that's funny stuff!). and all your naysayers will look FOOLISH when 'hannibal' grabs your withered nads in a vice-like grip and doesn't stop squeezing until the end credits.
-
For those of you who didnt see it, they had a "behind the scenes expose" of BW2 on Entertainment Tonight a couple of weeks ago. In my estimation, it looked shit! They were filming it in this confined looking studio, there was one character who, I guess, was supposed to be a goth chick and the acting looked amateurish(but not amateuish in a good way like the original). Also, the original guys who directed the first aren't even directing it. They've been demoted to exec producers!

Ridley Scott releasing two great movies in the same year. This
by lenny nero
...Spielberg when he came out with Jurassic Park in May and Schindler's List in December. The first movie won all the technical Oscars, and the second won a lot of the main Oscars. I hope this is what happens with GLADIATOR and HANNIBAL. GLADIATOR will get things like art direction and cinematography, while HANNIBAL (hope hope) will win best picture. Sure, it seems far fetched, but surprises do happen. And HANNIBAL is a great book, and should be a great movie.
-
No offense to the guys but think about it. The success of Blair Witch has nothing to do with story, dialogue, production or anything even resembling filmmaking craft. It was hype--Hype based on HOW they filmed it, the hype they created by using their website to promote the film and the hype created by the assertion that the movie MAY be real. They're great marketers, not filmmakers, IMHO. I could be wrong but from what I gather of their follow up--Some godawful sounding comedy--They'll be the next Eric Schaeffer before the end of the year. As far as being sell outs, well, wouldn't you take the money and run?
-
I don't recall a real honest-to-goodness orgy in there. I remember the threesome, the many guys in line to fuck the girl with the pink hair, and the rest of the nudity in the film that puts all teen sex comedies to shame (YOU CALL THAT NUDITY? AMERICAN PIE?? HAH!!!). But no orgy. At least, not in the real sense.

I didn't like doing it, but really, any Kubrick film wipes its ass with all the other comedies (and most, hell, all, movies in general).

If this scoop does turn out to be true, then all my fears I had when I first heard word of "BW2" will be realized. Commercial success leading to utter commercial crap. Why? At worst, "BW2" will degenerate into a bad teenage horror film that will suffer an horrible death at the box office thus killing any hopes for a prequel. To Myrick and Sanchez (the directors of the first, if memory serves), just stop production on "BW2", burn the celluloid, and fall into obscurity gracefully. I'd hate to see them booed or pelted with rotten produce the rest of their lives. If I heard right, the week "BW2" is supposed to come out another little horror film called "The Exorcist" is going to be re-released into theaters with added scenes and digitally re-mastered sound and picture. Call me crazy, but I think I'll be watching "The Exorcist" that October weekend. Take care, all. Mr. Sartre, still freaked by the song 'Tubular Bells'...
-
You know I remember reading YEARS ago about "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit 2" and the huge replication of New York City Subway system they had built for the sequel to "Hook". What I'm saying here is I don't believe in sequels until I see them. Also Don't you hate it when they call a movie a sequel when really they just totally rehash the first one with like one lame ass tie to the first. Off the top of my head I'm thinking Carrie 2: The Rage (scary!) as an example.

I just saw Virus for the first time last night.. and it kinda seems like a cross between the little things and the thing that bursts out of the russian captains head. Now that was nice.

Supposedly there's a big bizzaro orgy scene in CHERRY FALLS.
by the tall man
Maybe your freind is confusing the two. As far as the BWP2 footage looking like shit? From what I saw them shooting on Entertainment Tonight, it's not hard to believe. Sad day when something as different as BWP has a sequel that looks like IKWYDLS or SCREAM. What am I saying?! Just another day in Hollywood.
-
Granted, I could be wrong.
-
I envy you people who liked BWP. God knows I wanted to like that movie. I totally bought in to all the internet hype that preceeded its release. I stood in line for two hours when it opened in limited release at a small, local theater that shows mostly indie films. I dragged my best friend with me and convinced her that this movie was going to be the scariest thing since The Exorcist. And then, disappointment of disappointments - it stunk. The last five minutes was good but that was it. Afterwards, I convinced myself that the sound quality in the small theater where we saw it was inferior, and that must have ruined the scariness. (after all, much of the fright comes from being plunged into pitch darkness and then hearing strange things). So, when BW came out in wide release, I went to a major mega-plex and watched it again. Unfortunately, the sound system wasn't to blame, it just wasn't scary. Sadly, I don't suffer from motion sickness so I couldn't even enjoy the rollercoaster camara techniques. I admire what the filmmakers set out to do and how little money they spent and all that. But all in all, I can't get excited about the sequel.
-
a blair witch prequel? well, that's what they said on et. and those shots! oh god..i've seen better acting coming out of bob saget's ass!
what a no-brainer, putting a gothic chic in that movie. i'm so expecting this to start that whole teenybopper goth craze that the craft made. BW2 is what it would look like if you had a no sleep for a month straight, and the whole time, you'd watch reruns of party of five and who's afraid of the dark?
i guess the only here i'd be looking forward to is celebrate youth. i haven't seen a fun 80's movie since the wedding singer

I feel ripped! Someone tell me how to get the Nadalie Portman nuddies! The address that other dude left didn't. Now, it's only for purely scientific purposes, of course! (where did I leave that bottle of astroglyde?)
