The Grand Budapest Hotel
Hot off the success of
Moonrise Kingdom, Wes
Anderson has cast Johnny Depp in his new film The Grand Budapest Hotel,
reports The Playlist. Title kinda reminds me of
The Best Exotic Marigold
Hotel...
Grass is green. I’m excited to see this. I’m already getting a
The Royal
Tenenbaums vibe from it, probably because that Anderson film featured some
hotels. Now that I think about it, a lot of Anderson's films feature hotels...
Do you like the idea of Johnny Depp in an Anderson movie?
The Return of Hellboy and The Punisher
Ron Perlman recently solidified his status as an amazing guy by putting the
Hellboy makeup on one more time to visit a young fan with leukemia.
And word is now that Perlman and director Guillermo del Toro
may
make a Hellboy 3 after all. But then again, del Toro is now
claiming
he might make At the Mountains of Madness after all as well.
That guy over-commits.
In other news, Thomas Jane made a pretty awesome short
Punisher sequel.
It’s got some oddities - you’ll notice one big disturbing thing plus some
The Dark
Knight soundtrack sampling. Oh and Ron Perlman’s in this as well. Check it
out at JoBlo.com over
here.
What do you guys think of these returning characters?
Ant-Man
Nobody seems to like Ant-Man. He
was a founding member of
The Avengers in the comics, but he’s nowhere to be found in the recent slew
of movies. Nathan Fillion - a geek favorite for the role -
thinks
he’s a joke.
Director Edgar Wright’s been trying to get an Ant-Man film made for years now,
and I’ve held out hope that he’d be a great character. Now that Wright has
screened
some
test footage at Comic Con, I gotta say, I’d love to see a full length
movie. I adore everything Edgar Wright has ever committed to film and I’ve yet
to see a bad Avengers film, so I'm all for it.
It’ll still be a while before we see this movie, since Mr. Wright and stars
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are gearing up to film the final entry in their
“Blood and Ice Cream” trilogy,
The World’s End.
Is anyone out there a fan of Ant-Man besides me?
p.s. Sorry for using the phrase "Hot off".
