Now that Arnold Schwarzenegger has returned to acting after his stint as governor of Kulifoniah and is making a return to acting, many fans—and yes, there are still Schwarzenegger fans out there—are curious about, in addition to his new roles, which classic Ah-nold franchises he will return to. Terminator? Predator? Nope—potentially, Twins.
After the modest success of No Strings Attached, it appears Ivan Reitman is lurching back into the mainstream, according to The Hollywood Reporter. His company Montecito Pictures have purchased the rights to Alan Paul’s memoir “Big in China: My Unlikely Adventure Raising a Family, Playing the Blues and Reinventing Myself in Beijing.” Word is that Reitman may yet again step behind the director’s chair to film it.
It’s been a mighty successful month for Ms. Natalie Portman with her engagement, pregnancy and Golden Globe. There’s nothing like destroying a streak of victory with a shitty rom-com! The Oscar-nominee teams up with the painfully one dimensional Ashton Kutcher in Ivan Reitman’s, No Strings Attached. The film pollutes theaters nationwide Friday, January 21st.
Check out the review below…
This week in the theaters Ivan Reitman’s raunchy comedy No Strings Attached, based off one of the hottest scripts from the blacklist by Liz Meriwether hits theaters with the odd duo of Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher and one hell of a supporting cast (sans Ludacris — what was he doing here?). The film deals with something we all love to watch, talk about, and do — have sex. From graphic sex scenes and period jokes, to Natalie Portman starring at Ashton Kutcher’s cock with 3D glasses saying things like “it looks like it’s coming at me” (and right before her Oscar too… bad timing) this is not you average rom com — though that doesn’t save it from the mundane cliches that plague this genre. That being said Reitman is a master at his job, whether it be producing or directing, the man knows his craft. I was surprised to find that even he has trouble within his job, apparently directing past 50 is even harder than getting started at 20 — and having a son that people want over you is not always the easiest.
Find out how he keeps going, what gets him excited, why Liz Meriwether is the new writing force to be aware of in town, and his explanation as to why sex is still so scary for the ratings board….
There’s been a lot of speculation regarding the long gestating Ghostbusters 3 sequel. All the key actors from the previous films seem to be on board including Harold Ramis, Sigourney Weaver, and Dan Aykroyd but Bill Murray hasn’t been nailed down. There have been rumors that Murray has seen the script and wasn’t happy about it. Over at Coming Soon, they were able to talk to director Ivan Reitman who decided to clear the air about all the false reports that have surfaced online.
After years of waiting for a third Ghostbusters film, we finally got the old crew back together including Bill Murray and original director Ivan Reitman. This sounds like a dream come true for any die-hard fan, but unfortunately the bliss might be cut short according to a report from MTV. Sony might want to pull a Spider-Man and get a younger, more hip director to usher the Ghostbusters into the new millennium leaving Reitman in the dust.
Finally some form of confirmation has come out of the Ghostbusters camp and it’s from Ivan Reitman himself. Over at MTV the director confirmed that he WILL direct the long awaited sequel Ghostbusters 3, that follows the previous 1984 and 1989 installments. For months there’s been speculation regarding whether or not he’d take on the position, and he recently cleared up all doubt.
According to Firsthowing, there has been another development regarding the Ghostbusters 3 film. This information apparently, comes from a reliable source who states that the director of the first two films, Ivan Reitman, is seriously considering directing the third installment. The actors from the previous movies including, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Ernie Hudson, and Rick Moranis are already attached to reprise their roles in the new film.
