HEY THERE BEETLE-HEADS!!!! It's that time again, time for another segment of Beetle's Bug Juice. I've got alot to go over today, so best buckle up.
Seat Belts Buckled... you ready??? Good, then LET'S GET IT STARTED!!!
First up we have a remake rumor
Suppossedly Breck Eisner (Director of The Crazies) is signed on to helm a remake of 80's classic Escape From New York. This time their taking the plot of the original and mixing it with an Origin story for Snake Plissken. It sounds interesting, and I would be interested in seeing it if it weren't for 2 things.
1. The character of The President has been replaced by a female Senator. Not necesarrily a bad thing except that the filmmakers changed it that way so the film could have more witty banter.....FAIL!!!
2. Manhattan is going to be intact and working as an Island where prisoners are sent to live out the rest of their lives. In the first film the image of a destroyed nightmare Manhattan captivated audiences and I feel that if they just keep Manhattan intact it may take away some of the punch the first film had.
The first Escape from New York was a masterpiece in its day, and while the special effects don't hold up today it's still a damn good film to revisit. I feel that this remake runs the risk of turning into another hack remake which could potentially ruin the legacy of the first film.
Next up: Sequel News
The public demand for a monsters Inc. sequel appears to have finally worn down Disney and Pixar as a Monster Inc. Sequel appears to have been greenlit for 2013. Original Director Pete Docter ( also directed of UP!) will not Direct though. Who will direct is unknown as of now.
3-D news is up next
Apparently the powers that be want to convert the (already crappy looking) Last Airbender into 3-D. Now, if you have already read my 3-D post you know my opinions on this. There is NO reason to convert this stupid pice of shit into 3-D. It's already going to suck in 2 dimensions, do we really need it to suck that much more in 3??? God have mercy on us, for the end of the world is at hand. positive sidenote: M. Night hasn't OKd the 3-D conversion yet, so there's still hope.
Now onto brighter fields with some prequel news
The first details of Ridley Scotts Alien Prequel have just been released. The Story is going to be set in 2085 (around 30 years before the first Alien) and aims to solve some of the biggest mysteries of the Alien Franchise: Who were the Space Jockeys we saw the remains of in the first film, what were they doing, were their intentions bad or good, and of course how did those nasty aliens come to be?? Working as a prequel and origin story, this film looks bad-ass. It also helps that Ridley Scott (director of the first Alien) is signed on to direct this one as well.
Today, I end this segment with A Hot Chick
Vanessa Ann Hudgens is suppossedly signed on to play the role of Spider-Woman in her own stand alone movie. Persoanlly, I think that this could give her the chance to really show that she can do good work in films that aren't meant purely for kids. I want to see her sex up the screen in this role, just really go all out there and flaunt it. I'm also hoping for her to slip us some boobs, but I know thats never going to happen in a spidey film...but one can dream.
So, that about wraps it up for this segment of Beetle's Bug Juice. I hope you had as mch fun reading this as i did researching and typing it up.
Till then I'm Beetlejuice, and I'll see YOU at the movies.
