Remake Madness
Disney is set to ruin all of our childhoods by destroying yet another favorite from our pasts. The Parent Trap, that other movie where Lindsey switches places with the chick from Halloween. Shaggy Dog, (all of these up til now I could care less about), but then there was Race To Witch Mountain and now…. I hate you so much Disney, Flight of the Navigator. What next? Are you going to remake Black Cauldron?
and….
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is going to be remade… without Joss Wheadon. Ok, collect yourselves and breathe. Slash Film reports that “The characters and canon created in the television series will be completely abandoned.” Said it ain’t so, Spike!

Katee Sackhoff as Typhoid Mary is one of 2 Marvel movies…
If you’re a fan of Marvel books, you know Typhoid Mary, he presence is very hard to forget. Now, just which film is she going to be in, news says she is up for a possible of two movies: the reboot of Daredevil or, my man, Deadpool.
LA comic shop, Golden Apple, says:
“So we got a little visit in our comic shop last week by Katee Sackhoff, also known as Starbuck for her role on BSG. She proceeded to grab all the Typhoid Mary comics we had and has hopes to get a part for a Marvel movie….”

Sam Raimi hints at new villain
Raimi has hinted on Fearnet that he is very interested in vampires and the mythology behind them. While no clear announcements have been made for the villains for Spider-Man 4, with the backstory of Dr Connors (The Lizard) already being established in Spider-Man 2 & 3, bringing in Morbius would coincide with the books to a T. Let’s cross our fingers.

Remake Madness…
Wanted to add a few to the ever growing list of remakes the uncreative suits are green-lighting in movie-land. MGM is remaking Red Dawn and look for Clash of the Titans in March 2010! Yet another bastardization of two classics!
Also, look for more to come on Thor! (Marvel comic book adaptation), Voltron (early script reviews can be googled) and The Cabin in the Woods (new “thriller” from Joss Whedon).
Love the blogs, reviews and info!!!
I read about Clash of the Titans, and sighed all day long… but RED DAWN??? That’s disgraceful. Of course, Clash is disgusting too. How can you beat the claymation Medusa? CGI will kill it.
