TM Movie News: Noah, Vin Vision and Original Movies!

- by Steve Garcia, 1 July 2013

What’s this?! Original film proposals?! Captain Planet is getting a gritty reboot?! The Terminator is back?! Yeah. It’s been a good week (for the most part).

Picture

19:

As the zombie craze is still rampant as ever, QED International (District 9, Elysium) have announced plans to make a film simply titled “19.” Written by Jim Agnew and Sean Kellar, the pitch behind this film (and possible franchise) is reportedly “Everybody over the age of 19 turns into a walking corpse. That leaves a civilized world to be run by kids.”


  • Steve Says: I could be in the minority here, but I’m sick of zombies. Neat concept, though. Hope this works out, because lord knows how much original content we need to balance out all the dumb remakes… Oh, lookit the next story.


Annie:

In the Will Smith-produced remake of the beloved musical, "Annie", actress Cameron Diaz (Bad Teacher, Knight and Day) has reportedly signed on to play the antagonistic Miss Hannigan.

  • Steve Says: NEXT!


Captain Planet:

Sony Pictures is reportedly in the final negotiations of acquiring the film rights to environmental superhero, Captain Planet.

  • Steve Says:  Ya know, if He-Man won’t be getting a gritty reboot soon, Captain Planet would be my #2 choice. Don Cheadle better make the casting call! Seriously though, I’ll watch the hell out of this.


Marvel Cinematic Universe:

On Twitter, actor Vin Diesel (Fast and the Furious, xXx) stated that he was going to meet with Marvel Studios for an unknown role. Many speculators are calling from anywhere between the voice of Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy or the Vision, an android important to the Avengers mythos.

  • Steve Says: Cool your jets, internet. Just because the man is bald doesn’t mean he’ll be the Vision. Vision’s a very intellectual, immersed character that, let’s be honest, Vin Diesel is eons away from portraying in this humble writer’s opinion. While I personally have no idea who he’ll be playing, I’ll bet that it has something to do with the fact that Marvel/Disney just reserved three different release dates for three unknown Marvel films in the next few years. I must say, however, too bad he wasn’t cast as Drax the Destroyer.


Pixar:

Pixar, the company responsible for the Toy Story franchise, Finding Nemo, and more recently, Monsters University, is looking to bring their attention to more original films rather than sequels and prequels to their already-established properties. Ed Catmull, president of the company, stated “For artistic reasons … it’s really important that we do an original film a year. Every once in a while, we get a film where we want or people want to see something continuing in that world — which is the rationale behind the sequel. They want those characters, which means we were successful with them. But if you keep doing that, then you aren’t doing original films."


  • Steve Says:  Amen, brother! While I simply adore the characters of Toy Story and Finding Nemo, I’d much rather have a bigger library of new characters to fall in love with than sitting through another Cars sequel. Personally, the only film I’d want to see a sequel to is The Incredibles, but I’d hate it if Pixar pushed it because they had to instead of wanting to. After browsing Wikipedia, Pixar is developing an original film called “The Good Dinosaur.” Who on Earth wouldn’t want to see a PIXAR film called “THE GOOD DINOSAUR?!” A heartless robot, that’s who. Way to go, Pixar! You guys rock!


Terminator 5:

Paramount pictures officially announced a new Terminator film slated for 2015. Arnold Schwarzenegger is locked in to return, and the fifth installment to the franchise will kick off a new trilogy.



  • Steve Says:  There is a God! He’s back for realsies!




STUFF YOU SHOULD LOOK AT:

Prisoners:

The trailer for Prisoners starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman is out! Watch it because Wolverine’s in it! And he’s got a beard!


That’s it! So what’s your favorite story this week? Who do you think Vin Diesel will be playing in the Marvel Universe? What do you think of Russell Crowe as Noah? Are you as pumped as I am for Terminator 5? What about the concept between 19 and Pixar’s stance on original content? Until next time, be good to one another, righteous readers!
