Oh how quickly Hollywood changes its mind, G.I. Joe 2 coming?

Remember when we reported that Stephen Sommers may be fired from G.I. Joe? And remember when people (ourselves included) bashed the special effects really badly when the trailer came out? Well apparently G.I. Joe is the best movie of the summer, according to online sources. So good in fact, that the media has turned in a positive direction for Sommers. Sooo good in fact, that a sequel is worth discussing even before the first one is released? Holy wow! Here's what Sommers had to say to superherohype.com:

...I'm getting very excited about doing G.I. Joe 2. I'm working on Tarzan at Warner Brothers and they're a bunch of great people. (It will be) live action but we'll contemporize it. It'll still be a period movie, but it's almost like The Mummy, it took place in Ancient Egypt and the '20s and '30s, but it felt more contemporary, that sort of deal.

Are you serious? G.I. Joe 2? Tarzan?!? What the heck? Now I'm seriously scratching my head. Either Sommers has completely lost it, or G.I. Joe is THAT good. I don't know what else to say. We'll have to wait for this Friday when the movie is released. Let us know if you've seen it, and what you thought.

Jennifer Love Hewitt thinks she should be Wonder Woman, NOPE!

Jennifer Love Hewitt must be high as a kite lately. I mean she's dating Jaime Kennedy, she has to be high to date him right? And now this? Now she thinks she should play Wonder Woman? Look, she's a beautiful girl, and she's... and she's a... hmm.... I got nothing. She's just pretty. She's not talented at all. On her TV show she looks lost or confused most of the time and the biggest movie to her credit is I Know What You Did Last Summer, C'MON MAN! She's like the Megan Fox of the 90's, pretty with no acting chops. OOOOOOOOH! Yeah I said it! I said it! Anyway, her chances of getting the role are none to none. There's no script, producers or director. So for now, we don't have anything to worry about. The video below is courtesy of mtv.

Website tells you when to go to the bathroom during a movie

My wife wasn't that big of a movie fan before we met. So when we started dating, it was annoying to her why I HAD to be at the theater 20 minutes early. Why I HAD to watch the trailers. Why I HAD to go on a quiet night to avoid the annoying teenagers. The other thing I DON'T DO is leave a movie for food, drinks or to use the bathroom. It is just not in my code of conduct when seeing a movie. But, we have found a great website for the person who truly loves the movie going experience.

runpee.com tells you what parts during a movie to get up and use the bathroom. They are parts in the movie where you're not going to miss much. It's simple really. Pick your movie, pick a point in the movie you may get up, and read what you're going to miss. That way, when you return to your seat, you're all caught up! A great little website for the true movie theater fan! Thank you to the people at runpee.com.

Quickie: New Avatar poster of Zoe Saldana

We haven't had much coverage of James Cameron's Avatar as we probably should, and we are truly sorry for this. The movie is Cameron's first since Titanic and we all know how that movie performed. Nonetheless, Cameron shocked the comic world with scenes of the film at Comic-Con this past month in San Diego.

Here at AtD, we told you about his first screening to the public and how that went. This movie is getting buzz not seen since The Dark Knight. Every major news source is reporting it to be amazing. And we'll get to see footage come August 21st, via the official movie website.

It stars the great Sam Worthington (Terminator: Salvation) and Zoe Saldana (Star Trek). The picture to the left is Saldana's character in the movie. Keep it here for more info on Avatar. Picture courtesy of Latinoreview.

Marvel Anime: Iron Man and Wolverine coming to DVD

This post is strictly for the superhero genre fans. Marvel has been releasing direct-to-video animation for a few years now. The latest installment will be an anime version of the classic character's Wolverine and Iron Man. Check out the two trailers and see what you think. I'm a big fan of the genre and think it has potential. Last year's Batman: Gotham Knight had several depictions of the Dark Knight and one of them was anime. It was different considering how many reincarnations there are in the states. Enjoy!

Funny People wins the box office

This week goes to Adam Sandler's Funny People, directed by the always successful Judd Apatow. The movie scored 23.4 million dollars. Not a complete surprise that the movie finished first, but the dollar amount is. It's actually Adam Sandler's worst opening in nearly four years.

The surprise of the week was "Harry Potter" holding strong, it came in second place with 17.7 million dollars. That was a good sign after last weeks surprise hit G-Force knocked it off the top spot. G-Force placed third with 17.1 million dollars.

The only other new release this week was Aliens in the Attic, placing fifth place with 7.8 million dollars. I'd like to make one point. Transformers 2: Revenge of the Suck is at tenth place which hopefully means next week it will be off the top ten. ;) Here's the rest of the top ten:

1. "Funny People," $23.4 million.

2. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," $17.7 million.

3. "G-Force," $17.1 million.

4. "The Ugly Truth," $13 million.

5. "Aliens in the Attic," $7.8 million.

6. "Orphan," $7.3 million.

7. "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaur," $5.3 million.

8. "The Hangover," $5.1 million.

9. "The Proposal," $4.8 million.

10. "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," $4.6 million.

Wachowski Brothers in talks to write/direct the next Superman

Holy wow! A Wachowski brothers directed Superman? Are you kidding me?! That-is-AWESOME! Ok so the creator of Superman's family won the rights to all Superman properties as of 2011. What does that mean? A lot! DC, the hope of Superman since day one loses their most viable character. How weird is it to see Superman with a Marvel Comics logo on it? It's a possibility. Also that means Warner Brothers loses their rights to a movie after that date. So the studio is frantically trying to get a movie off the ground. The team at IESB is reporting that Bryan Singer's film is simply an end to the Richard Donner legacy. A "book-end" movie that closes a chapter in the character's history. So the film will be an action-packed reboot. This part of the news is nothing new, its been rumored for over a year now that there wouldn't be a sequel, but rather a complete reboot.

But Singer is out as director and talks with the Wachowski Brothers have began. The other director's name in the mix is James McTeigue, an Australian filmmaker (Ninja Assassin). The other bit of news is that Brandon Routh's place in the movie is in limbo. I think if its a true reboot, you have to recast. And none of this "unknown" bull. Cast a heavyweight A-list actor to do this. I understand Donner's reasoning to cast an unknown in the 70's, but now, commercially and critically we need someone better than Routh as Superman. My vote, always has and will remain Jim Caviezel; that's right, the true messiah to this franchise, Jesus himself! He's got the look and the acting chops to pull it off. Who want's to agree to disagree? Give us your vote for the next actor to play Superman!
