BEETLE'S BUG JUICE: NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET INTERVIEW & X-MEN ORIGINS WOLVERINE 2 SCRIPT COMPLETED

Hey there Beetle-Heads, It's time for another segment of BEETLE'S BUG JUICE, where I, your humble host, will dig into the latest news that I've found on the interwebz.

Today I've found an interesting interview with Samuel Bayer: The director of the new Nightmare on Elm Street film.

Here's The link from Slash film: http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/03/03/interview-samuel-bayer-director-of-a-nightmare-on-elm-street/

Personally, there's not much that excites me in this little interview. Most of it is just going over his career so far and how Sam got where he is today. However, there are some cool parts near the end where Sam talks about the new NOES film and his vision for it. It sounds like he's added several cool new bits into the film, like the whole micro-naps concept, but if these new bits may make NOES 2010 worth a viewing is still uncertain.

Personally I look forward to this remake/re-imagining's release date of April 30th 2010 with quite a bit of trepidation. Of course I will see and review this film no matter what I hear or read about it...it's just that time has shown remaking a widely known and loved horror classic is not usually a wise idea.

The 2nd part of business is that the script for Wolverine 2 has been completed.

Supposedly W2 is due out Jan 2011. The first film wasn't very popular with critics or fans because of how far it strayed from the actual origins of Wolverine. I personally didn't really care for the film. For me the deal breaker is that the sequel is set in Japan, Overall my excitement for W2 is DOA. I can't possibly describe my lack of excitement for this film. Why Fox thought it was a good idea to greenlight ANOTHER Wolverine film is beyond me. Whatever happenned to the Deadpool movie Ryan Renolds promised us??? I'd much rather see that than Wolverine, AGAIN!! WAKE UP FOX!!

Till then I'm Beetlejuice and you've just been bugged.
