Female Based "Lost Boys" Remake via [TMB]
Horrible news coming from TMB. I guess there is a remake comming down the pipe which is going to be based off of the great movie "The Lost Boys". Unfortunately this one is going to be using a pack of girls -not bad- and instead of degenerates they will be cheerleaders -BAD-. I love "The Lost Boys" and this is truly upsetting news.

Check out the trailer for "The Brothers Grimm", the pairing of Matt Damon and Heath Ledger looks to be a winner.

Star Wars reviled via [Cinematical]
The new movie site from Weblogs Inc "Cinematical" has a great little posting on the new Star Wars Trilogy, compared to the original. It also goes into detail on how the actors had harder roles to play due to all of the external material between films -to maintain character consistency-. One good point was the importance of the "Clone Wars" cartoon which aired on Cartoon Network. Basically describing how those who had not scene the cartoons whould not understand situations in the final movie, and whould have a much harder time believing in Skywalkers experience as a war hero.

The Next Video Game that will Take Control over My Life via [Euro Gamer]
Those who know me are aware of my weakness to great video games and how they can take over my life from time to time. "The Sims" had that affect on me for a while, and "Star Wars Galaxies" controlled my life for over a year when it came out. I have been free of this burden for about a year now -thanks to a great 12 step program- but now I fear there is game comming that will get me back on the sauce. "The Movies" will be the next game that will take over my life. This is the game I always wanted to have and now it is on its way. This is going to be awsome, a Sim much like "Rollercoaster Tycoon", "Theme Park Tycoon" and "Sim City" but based on the movie industry. You will be able to control every angle of the business, from developing your studio, pruning your actors, writing your scripts, and making little movie trailers. I just hope this doesn't come out until winter when I only leave the house to go skiing.
