The premise of This Means War is stupidly irresistable. Chris Pine and Tom Hardy play secret agents. Both end up dating Reese Witherspoon. She seems to be a normal girl, but their interest gets so heightened that they use their spy tools on each other. Director McG may have a real winner on his hands. Check out the trailer…
The wait is over. The battle has been won. McG has managed to outmaneuver Breck Eisner to direct the feature adaptation of the Ouija board game. A few weeks ago we reported that the duo both submitted pitches to Universal outlining their respective visions for the film and according to Heat Vision the studio has made their decision. McG has walked away victorious.
Just when we thought the Ouija board movie was a figment of our imaginations, we get hit with a status update. According to THR, the adaptation is still happening and Universal is narrowing down the candidates of possible directors. Two helmers are sitting pretty at the top of the list and they’re none other than McG and Breck Eisner.
Chelsea Handler is the host of a nightly talk show entitled “Chelsea Lately,”who also emceed this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. Now she’s hopping on to the big screen for McG‘s latest film, This Means War. The comedian will join headliner Reese Witherspoon alongside Chris Pine and Tom Hardy, for an action comedy with a romantic twist.
Hollywood has become obsessed with making live action versions of well known children’s properties. With the success of Alice in Wonderland are you really surprised that Tinkerbell’s next? You know the pixie little fairy who appears in the Peter Pan stories? According to Variety, she’ll appear in the human form of Elizabeth Banks in a romantic comedy aptly titled, Tink.
Sam Worthington has been dominating the action market because after 10 years as a serious indie star in his native Australia, he wanted a piece of the Hollywood pie. We’ve seen him as a cyborg, a blue humanoid, and a demi-god, but can you imagine him as a comedic character? According to Vulture, Worthington might reunite with his Terminator Salvation director McG in the romantic comedy, This Means War.
McG is stepping away from the heavy action driven world of film to tackle a romantic comedy. According to THR, the director will helm This Means War, a rom-com that already has Bradley Cooper and Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon attached to star. This will be the director’s first venture into the genre, do you think he can handle it?
In February of 2010, the rights of the Terminator franchise will be up for grabs thanks to the legal problems of current owner Halcyon. Even with the drama over who will own what and when, Terminator Salvation director McG is confident that he’ll still be on board for not only a 5th but a 6th sequel.
So many people complained about Terminator Salvation’s PG-13 rating and said it was the reason for the films mediocre box office performance. Well, now it’s really judgment day! We all get the chance to see if the unedited material would have made a difference. According to /Film, the Director’s Cut of the upcoming DVD will be rated R.
