Weekly Movie Updates! Put A Spock In It With Ghostbusters 3!

It’s been a bit slow in the movie world. We do have that nasty little strike, of course. But we still have enough crap in production and pre-production that we can type about for a while…

• First off. We have the first image of Zachary Quinto, Sylar from Heroes, as a young Spock in the new Star Trek movie. Not a big Trek guy, but I’m sure battles are being fought all over the internet with many exclamation points and caps locks between the nerds.
• Hey! I have an idea! Let’s remake EVERY movie possible! Yes! That’s amazing! What do we have left? Hmmm… how about Friday The 13th? Hmm… Okay! So we are going to have a Michael Bay produced Jason flick. The guy who directed the recent Texas Chainsaw movie is directing this one, written by the guy that wrote Freddy vs. Jason. “Phhhhhhh!” (That was me making the thumbs down with my tongue sticking out and creating an anal-like noise.)

• Now some awesome news that turns lame while you read it. They are making Ghostbusters 3. Awesome. Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, and Dan Akroyd are returning to their original roles. Awesome! Akroyd and Ramis are also writing the script. AWESOME! Oh, and it’s not going to be a movie. It’s going to be a freaking video game! C’mon. Don’t tease me with all that third movie crap and then tell me it’s going to be a stupid video game. I don’t even want to know anything else about it. It’s like Spielberg coming out now and saying, “Oh, by the way, Indy 4 is going to be a puppet show.” Damn you Ramis and Co. … Damn you…
• Okay, something that I’m excited about coming out next month. It’s an animated foreign film called Persepolis. You can check out the trailer here. It doesn’t get you all crazy and make you want to see the movie right away… but… I’ve been hearing some great things about it. So keep an eye out for my review in the near future.

That’s about all I have for you now. If any crazy things happen between now and Gobble Gobble Day, I’ll be sure to let you know. Some extra tidbits for sticking with me to the end. Some new Dave Chappelle.
