I saw this trailer before Ted yesterday, and for the first 10 seconds or so I thought it was a new Dark Knight trailer. Anyway, looks good. Ben Affleck is a solid director.

[Steve Sensible]

Jack Kirby's in that movie.

Jack Kirby's in that movie.

Oh, yeah, you're right. Played by Michael Parks.



Wonder how much money his heirs are getting?

[Johnny Henning]

They had the trailer for HYDE PARK ON HUDSON in front of MOONRISE KINGDOM. Bill Murray plays FDR and some English guy plays King George V and it looks a bit like a mashup of Warm Springs and The King's Speech.

I did not find it appealing.

someone posted a trailer for it in this thread. i'll go see it.


also want to see argo.

[Johnny Henning]

Argo does look interesting. I remember reading about the story a long time ago, but it seemed that the reality was that the CIA and Hollywood have had connections going way back since international movie productions are always mingling with government officials and other important people around the world. It wasn't like they went to Hollywood cold, but that doesn't make as good a story.

I think I could see a whole movie about Jack Kirby if Parks played him.

[Nicholas Taggart]

I really liked Warm Springs.

[Johnny Henning]

Pretty cool. Are those real prisoners or is it fictional?

And what do they mean by "Life Meaning Life"? Do they mean life? Or life?

They are real prisoners

where's the hoff?

[Nicholas Taggart]

He directed it, I don't think he is in it. But I am not sure about that.

[Johnny Henning]

That movie will make a mint!

[Nicholas Taggart]

It will definitely make a lot of money in the UK

[Johnny Henning]

Forget the UK - did you see how much money that Best Exotic Marigold Hotel made? Seriously, these senior citizen movies are a growth sector in the film industry because they don't cost a lot to make and they attract the generation that still goes to movies for fun. On top of that, a lot of our best directors and actors are senior citizens -- especially the English ones, actually.

Whatever Bill Nighy makes next is gonna be popular, too. He's the closest thing we have to Cary Grant.

Unless it's another damn UNDERWORLD movie.

[Nicholas Taggart]

‘Ghostbusters 3′ Has Hired New Writers, Will Still Probably Never Happen

I think the new Ghostbusters should be about the characters trying to capture the spirit of the new script because it definitely seems undead at times. Maybe it's time to throw it into the containment unit and turn out the lights.

Murray's not all that interested so there is very little way a Ghostbusters movie would happen without him. On top of that Aykroyd's become something of an odd conspiracy theorist loon, lately.

Still, it would be interesting if they did one that had the original characters moving into middle-aged and worried about what happens after they die even though they sorta know what happens.

[Dave Wallace]

I don't know, there have been lots of ideas kicked around relating to the original team passing on the mantle and/or dealing with Peter Venkman's ghost, but I think it'd be weirdly depressing to see the now-aged cast dressing up as Ghostbusters again. I honestly think I'd prefer a complete reboot.
