Maybe everyone in Hollywood really is more creative than any of us...'cause I sure as shit couldn't have dreamed up that concept.
Robert McKee by beartrap	Sep 17th, 2002 08:05:59 PM
Brian Cox sure does look like that guy in the "Adaptation" trailer, only not so damn creepy. McKee has a book that will set you back 25 bucks instead of 500-600 dollars. Of course, you'll have to actually read it instead of sitting on your bum-bum feeling smug that you are learning from a Hollywood master, or something like that.
Where they get these ideas... by CASE	Sep 17th, 2002 08:09:11 PM
They aren't creative. They just have a set of "Concept Dice." You know, you roll the dice and they read, "Western, Hip-Hop" or "Sci-fi, Werewolves." Other things written on the dice are "Sequel," "Remake," and of course "Adaptation."
Western + Hip Hop = Westhop! by Wydok	Sep 17th, 2002 09:18:07 PM
Yo, homey, this crib ain't big enough for the both of us.
Indie urban western... by Christopher3	Sep 17th, 2002 09:43:11 PM
Musical kung-fu trilogy remake whodunit sci-fi dadaist franchise. Slow week. Sloooooow.
Hip hop western? Why not? by spenworks	Sep 17th, 2002 09:43:46 PM
Why the hell can't you have a hip hop soundtrack for a western? Is it anymore inconcievable than having Bon Jovi do a song for a western? Your cultural prejudice is showing.
Greaser's Palace by spenworks	Sep 17th, 2002 09:45:51 PM
The story of Jesus told in a western format. Wierd flick, to say the least. But in the world of artistic expression, anything goes. I say more power to those that combine genres.
genre mixing by spenworks	Sep 17th, 2002 09:47:43 PM
How 'bout a innercity, crime gangsta flick, with Texas line dancing. I'd pay to see that. Well, probably not... I digress.
kari wuhrer & stuart gordon on the same proje by Monkeybrains	Sep 17th, 2002 10:10:54 PM
Its the end of the world. It was a nice world too. Lots of nice trees. Oh well
The hip-hop western's been done. At least twice. by SleazyG.	Sep 17th, 2002 10:19:37 PM
Come on, people: "Posse" and "Posse 2", neither of which followed up on the promise of "New Jack City" or that made-for-cable werewolf cops movie that Mario Van Peebles made. Oh, and the feminist western's been done a good couple two three times, too. Guess this is gonna be "Posse" meets "Bad Girls". Go on, tell me that wasn't the ten-second pitch. Same ol' same ol'...

no news on the superman vs batman movie? did wb fuck it up again?
IM ROGER AVERY!! by dumbkidd	Sep 17th, 2002 11:16:30 PM
WAAA! give ME an oscar I thought up a guy having a WATCH! i was a MAJOR PART OF THAT! (ment to post this on the DOTD/avery post but forgot) ps- HEY AVERY! YEA YOU! IF YOUR READING THIS THE ONLY THING STOPPING ME FROM PUNCHING YOU IN YOUR FACE IS YOUR LOVE OF DAWN OF THE DEAD! (but I still hate everything else about you)
why hasn't this site recognized the fact that theres been ma by Robs	Sep 18th, 2002 12:02:16 AM
I mean come on, its all over the web. Batman Vs. Superman is dead and Brett Ratner has taken over the reigns of Superman, has already begun preproduction, wants an unknown as Superman and possibly Anthony Hopkins as Jor-El, you'd think there'd be some kind of report on this fact, but no...........ofcourse this site doesn't report it
Elvin, that movie you speak of with Piper Perabo is "Lost & Deli by Lenny Nero	Sep 18th, 2002 12:30:59 AM
...And while the lesbian sex is fun and oh-so-hot, it's also a damn good movie about obsession, naivete, and literature. That may sound odd, but it works very very well.

King Krypton's Whenever He Feels Like It Recap by KingKrypton	Sep 18th, 2002 01:37:28 AM
Yet another WWKK1978 Hollywood News Update!----With 8 MILE under his belt, Eminem has decided to branch out into producing and directing, beginning with the hip-hop action thriller BE A WULF, DAWG. An urban re-imagining of the classic poem BEOWULF, this project takes place in Los Angeles, where a wealthy rapper
By the way... by KingKrypton	Sep 18th, 2002 01:45:45 AM
...that GUNS & ROSES movie sounds dumb. The title sounds more like an Axl Rose biopic, and I have ZERO interest in seeing Lil' Kim and Bobby Brown in a western. If they want to do a movie about black cowboys (and there were black cowboys in the Old West, make no mistake), why do they have to bring hip-hop into it? Why can't they just portray the Old West as it really was? This sounds like a nother movie made only because of the soundtrack. Oh, and on the SUPERMAN thing, THE NEW YORK TIMES site has an article dated for September 15th claiming that Jon Peters is still producing the film, even though Coming Attractions reported that he's been ditched in favor of the tag-team of Richard Donner, David Heyman, and Barrie Osbourne. Looks like the same old merry-go-round, eh? Peters always gets a bad script and a director attached, WB falls all over them and tries to get the film going...and it always falls apart at the last minute. When are they gonna learn? Fire Peters and get a decent producer in there, and maybe we'll have something.
Holy monkeys, Krypton! That's some major rant. by Lenny Nero	Sep 18th, 2002 02:49:44 AM
Man...good show.
Quite possibly the funniest TB post I've ever read by Fuckles	Sep 18th, 2002 04:03:28 AM
King Krypton, thank you.
The hell with the Superman news... by RawShark	Sep 18th, 2002 06:24:43 AM
Hitchhiker's guide looks like it's going to be made. But then It's looked like it was going to be made for 20 years.

Renfro, "Freddy vs. Jason" and creative differences? by ProzacMorris	Sep 18th, 2002 10:02:10 AM
What kinds of creative differences would cause bad-boy Renfro to walk off the project. I bet it had something to do with his lines, that is the fact that producers wouldn't let him snort blow off of the female lead's ass. I think it's refreshing, a young actor has to have principles. BTW, is that "other" girl from "Destiny's Child" still going to be in FvsJ. I can only see trouble from that. "I can't be cut up! I'm a ROLE MODEL. (Singing gospel sytle)Rooooooooooolllle, Moooooodeeeeeel."
??? by SilentBob X	Sep 18th, 2002 11:08:54 AM
Creative differences? On a SLASHER MOVIE? Since when is that little niche ever been creative? Teens fuck, they die, 1 or 2 survives, etc. And Kelly Osbourne, musically inclined??? Pardon me while I laugh my ass off. Snoogans.
Uh, the "gritty" world of hip-hop and western? by WeedyMcSmokey	Sep 18th, 2002 11:35:48 AM
hip-hop hasn't been gritty for ten years - it's all smoothed out pimpin', ice and sweet rides. I appluad Lil' Kim though, she's turned getting butt-fucked by MCs into a lucrative career as slut-impressario - making J-Lo look positively virginal is no small feat. I bet she uses jizz like Oil of Olay - twice a day, folks, twice a day. I really can't picture her riding a horse per se, but I can picture her starring with one :-)
Captain America.... by JadedOne	Sep 18th, 2002 02:59:57 PM
Faith Hill in tights... hmm.... Is it just me or does this concept actually sound better that the last Captain flick I saw?
another new flick by joe_buck	Sep 18th, 2002 04:45:26 PM
Morrissey will star in an as yet untitled indie, British, film noir detective movie. It will also feature Damon Albarn, Liam and Noel Gallager, Jarvis Cocker and Ken Howard. Set in the 1940s, the period action film combines elements of classic film noirwith the twee world of britpop.
Miami Mofo and Jaded One by KingKrypton	Sep 18th, 2002 08:16:42 PM
Miami Mofo, I actually consider the "Sandra Bullock as an Elvis impersonator" gag to be more horrific. The thought of her wearing those muttonchop sideburns and making like an escapee from JAILHOUSE ROCK is WAY worse than a bunch of Richard Simmons wannabes doing Liza impressions...which, of course, is why I ran with it :D.----And Jaded One, the Faith Hill as Captain America gag actually had its genesis in a message board discussion regarding Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin. One of the guys in support of Duncan's casting said, "Hey, they could cast Shania Twain as Daredevil, and as long as she embodied the traits of the character, I'd be cool with it! Plus, she'd look good in red spandex!" Given that, it didn't take much for me to think up the Faith Hill as Cap gag. And to be honest, it wouldn't be THAT big of a stretch if they were to actually do that. There was a female Captain America in Marvel's MC2 line (called "American Dream," wearing the classic Cap costume, as I recall), so it's not like the idea is totally out of left field.
damn. i was really hoping this would give me a place to discuss by a goonie	Sep 19th, 2002 12:56:52 AM
now that it's officially official, that is. i'm really eager to hear what talkbackers think about this cuz personally i'm pretty damn excited. Ratner still hasn't proven himself as an immense talent, or even a GREAT director. but he's a good one, who turned Rush Hour 2 into a rambunctious, extremely entertaining, well-shot and well-timed action comedy movie. and he did direct Nic Cage in one of his better performances in The Family Man. not that that's saying a lot (Cage is not a very good actor), but it IS saying something. once Red Dragon hits on October 4th, i will be able to officially decide what i think of his involvement with Superman. but right now, this is good. way better than McG. i just really can't wait to see how this movie turns out.
RE: Galaxy Quest sequel by JAGUART	Sep 19th, 2002 01:16:56 AM
The Black Guy, Daryl Mitchell, is indeed paralyzed from the waist down due to a motorcycle accident. They can maybe do a Christopher Pike bit where he answers yes or no questions by farting once or twice.
Remake This! by Margot_Tenenbaum	Sep 19th, 2002 05:38:34 AM
Hot on the heels of his remakes of THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR and ROLLERBALL, director John McTiernan has announced his intention to remake Norman Jewison's THE STATEMENT before the original hits theater screens. LL Cool J will take Michael Caine's role in what the director describes as a "combination of the gritty hip-hop world and the postwar hypocracy of the Catholic church." THE STATEMENT (McTiernan version) arrives in December 2002.
Lil' Kim in assless chaps????? by GaryBuseyTeeth	Sep 19th, 2002 03:30:58 PM
Wow..... They're gonna make a western that combines the 'gangsta' sensibilities of "Posse" with the neo feminist-leaning motifs of "Bad Girls"??? A veritable "Hoes on the Range"? Hopefully it'll be one of those rare entries into the "So fucking bizarre and bad, its good" pantheon.
Faith Hill in blue spandex! by Wydok	Sep 19th, 2002 11:23:15 PM
Faith Hill in blue spandex! Faith Hill in blue spandex! Faith Hill in blue spandex! Faith Hill in blue spandex! Ohhhh, yeah.
Man, I'm amazed at how well the "Faith Hill as Captain Ameri by KingKrypton	Sep 20th, 2002 12:41:38 AM
Here I thought it would just bring a laugh or two (or groans, depending on your feelings about the character), but some of you guys really seem to like the idea, if for no other reason than the potential eye candy. Kinda makes me wonder how y'all would react if it actually were to happen....
