Elston Gunn'sWEEKLY RECAP

What? by Sardonicnarcotic	Jul 27th, 2004 08:58:09 AM
No Catwoman sequel news?
Scavenger Hunt - good to see the scavenger hunt genre is making by Big Jim	Jul 27th, 2004 09:26:18 AM
Remember those classics from the early '80s like "Scavenger Hunt" with Dirk Benedict and Roddy McDowall, and "Midnight Madness" with David Naughton and Michael J. Fox? No? Oh well, nevermind.
Grayson trailer by malikye	Jul 27th, 2004 09:51:19 AM
what happened to the post about the Grayson trailer that a fan made? why did harry take it off?
Scavenger Hunt - Written by Jonathan Davis? That bloke from Korn by Floyd Gondolli	Jul 27th, 2004 10:31:43 AM
Can't wait for this one. Students go on a scavenger hunt where the popular kids pick on a goth kid. Goth kid goes on to whine about it for the rest of his life, despite the fact that he becomes a millionaire (possibly from winning the scavenger hunt). Hopefully, it will also have impossibly bad angst ridden dialogue.
Love In The Time Of Cholera...?!? by Osmosis Jones	Jul 27th, 2004 10:57:36 AM
Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Marge is reading a romance novel titled "Love In The Age Of Scurvy"...
El Superbeasto by Sith Witch	Jul 27th, 2004 11:19:21 AM
I read Spookshow International regularly, but El Superbeasto is my least favourite section each time. Why does Zombie want to tell this story? Why not the Screming Lord Zombie storyline?
Sky High by Another Faith	Jul 27th, 2004 11:46:33 AM
Such a shame to see Kelly Preston getting work. She's the kiss of death in every genre, and "Sky High" sounds like it could be a great premise, kind of like the Wild Card books.
To Darren Aronofsky re: "Watchmen" by Carson Dyle	Jul 27th, 2004 12:33:20 PM
Walk away... just walk away. Life is too short, and you are too talented to waste your time on a project that is doomed to fail. "Watchmen" is a great comic novel, but adapting it for the screen is a fool's errand. If you're going to be David Lynch, be the Good David Lynch ("Blue Velvet"), and not the Bad David Lynch ("Dune").
Christopher3's weekly Weekly Recap recap: by Christopher3	Jul 27th, 2004 12:35:13 PM
Seven remakes. Three sequels. Five comic book adaptations. Nine book adaptations. Two Lindsay Lohan starrers. At least two projects rescued from turnaround. One toy adaptation. And some Will Ferrell-wants-to-be-Jim Carrey thingy.
Herbie? by Jimmy Jazz	Jul 27th, 2004 02:31:59 PM
Was the world REALLY screaming for a new "Herbie the Love Bug" movie? Really? Combine this with the upcoming "Teen/Tween rom-com #586-a" I think it is sufficient evidence that Ms. Lohan needs a new agent.
THE RORSCHACH TEST by Trevor Goodchild	Jul 27th, 2004 03:04:49 PM
Barry Pepper/Sean Penn? NITE OWL Eric Bana? COMEDIAN Ray Liotta? OZYMANDIUS fhdsfhwhwfhef DR MANHATTAN CGI?
Sky High - so if "superhero" qualities are a common thing, then by Trader Groucho 2	Jul 27th, 2004 03:06:19 PM
four words: direct to disney channel
I see Dennis Farina as the Comedian by Big Jim	Jul 27th, 2004 03:36:07 PM
The older Comedian, not sure who would be best as young Comedian. How about Dennis Leary as Rorschach? Or Kevin Spacey? Jeff Bridges for Nite Owl? Dean Stockwell for the original Nite Owl? Brad Pitt for Ozzymandius? I like the idea of a CG Dr. Manhattan because it makes him even more different than those around him.
Vince McMahon by super Cucaracha	Jul 27th, 2004 03:36:38 PM
is the fucking anti Christ.
Transformers sounds like a title for a movie about trannies by super Cucaracha	Jul 27th, 2004 03:39:55 PM
porn will fuck up brain cells.
Rorschach = David Caruso by rev_skarekroe	Jul 27th, 2004 03:57:51 PM
No, really! sk
"Jennifer Aniston will star opposite Clive Owen in DERAILED" by Trik	Jul 27th, 2004 04:25:19 PM
I wonder how they'll work a line in for her to talk about her b00bs?
HARRY, FUCK YOU? by menocqu	Jul 27th, 2004 04:55:41 PM

What a recap... by Tracheotomy Man	Jul 27th, 2004 06:21:17 PM
Already read most of it at Dark Horizons, thanks to Garth actually updating when news is still...well, news.
Great. Now Don Murphy gets the chance to fuck up DEATH: THE HIGH by Cash Bailey	Jul 27th, 2004 06:22:03 PM
Doea anyone really think that the character can work outside the context of the SANDMAN universe? We all know it'll just be Lindsey Lohan in ghetto-skank goth make-up and Good Charlotte pounding away on the soundtrack.
After 18 years spent adapting WATCHMEN for the screen, you'd thi by FrankDrebin	Jul 27th, 2004 08:39:27 PM
I'm sure my great-great-grandchildren will love the movie...or holographic brain implant, or whatever they have by then.
Looks like a race between STRANGER THAN FICTION and BOB THE MUSI by FrankDrebin	Jul 27th, 2004 08:43:45 PM
...to see who gets their TRUMAN SHOW knockoff in theaters first. Actually, I guess EDTV was the first knockoff.
Brosnan done with Bond? Or salary negotiation ploy? by FrankDrebin	Jul 27th, 2004 08:50:37 PM
I hope he's just trying to force EON into a Tarantino/Casino Royale deal. http://www.comingsoon.net/news /topnews.php?id=5728
Correction: by waylayer	Jul 27th, 2004 08:53:39 PM
"Joe Carnahan has dropped out of the director's seat for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3 due to not wanting to shoot 45 minutes worth of Tom Cruise's face in slow motion." friendswithbenefits.com
INFERNAL FILM by jackburtonlives	Jul 27th, 2004 09:13:33 PM
leonardo dicaprio and matt damon? thanks for ruining my day. if damon was to appear in the appear as an extra wearing a "Vader was framed" t-shirt and dicaprio played a snotnosed school kid in the background as the action took place, i could stomach it. but casting those two clowns as ADULTS is a stretch; as ADULT COPS is too much. the suspension of disbelief is gone: YET ANOTHER FILM DOWN THE GURGLER. WAY TO GO HOLLYWOOD.
good job all around by blackstormy	Jul 27th, 2004 11:49:10 PM

Di Caprio and Scorsese Again? by Forestal	Jul 28th, 2004 12:31:06 AM
What's up with Scorsese? Why the hell does he keep on doing collaberations with Leonardo Di Caprio? Come on. I bet in some twisted way Scoresese thinks the guy is his new De Niro....Mr. Scoresese if you're listening: THERE ARE OTHER YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM TO BE IN YOUR FILMS OTHER THAN LEONARDO DI CAPRIO! WHY NOT CHOOSE A GOOD ACTOR!?
Stanford Prison Experiment by Tres Skeek	Jul 28th, 2004 09:02:59 PM
Who the hell is Tim Talbott and why does McQuarrie need someone to write for him?
Stranger Than Fiction by ainm	Jul 29th, 2004 04:06:07 AM
This idea seems sufficently promising that it should be written for the stage first and converted to the screen with a gentle touch. An actor confronting a disembodied voice? Sounds like a play to me. Major roles should be limited to the two for a start, only adding as required or else you have the Truman Show (unnecessary romance, friends, etc). Another thought is that if well written it could be a dark or dusky comedy. If so built, it could max out at 70 or 80 minutes while still worth the 10 bucks.
