Quickie: Fantastic 4 will get a complete reboot

Variety reports that Fox is started a complete Fantastic Four reboot. Producer Akiva Goldsman has been hired to take on the project. Michael Green has also been hired to write the script, Green is a writer on NBC's "Heroes". Variety didn't have anything to report on whether or not the original cast would return. So what's up, anyone ready for another Fantastic Four?

Rambo 5 is a go

Variety reports that Rambo 5 is a go. Remember how bad of an idea you all thought Rambo 4 would be? Weeeeell, that movie grossed almost 115 million dollars worldwide... and it's rated 'R'.

Variety is explaining the plot as a south of the border child abduction case; where Rambo has to find a kidnapped child. Sylvester Stallone will write, direct and star, just as he did in the 2008 film. So, we ready to see a 65 year old man rampaging through Mexico chopping people up as if he was a chef at a Habashi restaurant? You be the judge.

Red Sonja is delayed for now

Remember when we told you that a teaser trailer was coming soon for Red Sonja, the Robert Rodriguez/Rose McGowan feature film? Well, McGowan has Twittered her way into the headlines with these heart-breaking words:

"To clarify press reports: Red Sonja is delayed. I pulled out of doing it in '09. Not permanently. Hopefully will follow Conan."

Well, she's referring to the Brett Ratner directed Conan movie that's set for release later next year. Here's what else she had to say:

"I am still contracted to do it, Red Sonja. Hopefully filming in '10 not '09."

Well, we can forget about the trailer we were looking forward to.

Tony: Adventureland DVD review

Last week we began to do DVD reviews because our blog is so young. This week, we bring you Adventureland which was released on DVD yesterday. The movie is directed by Greg Mottola who also directed Superbad. The movie stars Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame.

The movie is about a young man named James Brennan (Eisenberg) who is in desperate need of a summer job. He gets a job at Adventureland, a theme park, and meets Em (Stewart). The movie is about overcoming insecurities and accepting who you really are... this is where the movie does very well. The emotion the actors bring to the table is really great. You see this developing relationship between James and Em, and it's believable. The acting is top notch. Even the supporting cast is great, they all add something to the movie that is needed for the story.

Where I feel that the movie fell a little flat was in the pacing and editing. There were maybe 5 or 6 scene I would have cut out of the movie all together. There were a few scenes that were identical, and didn't really move the story forward. My thought is, the director left them in to establish the character's self-esteem issues.

Another thing about this movie that needs to be established is that it is NOT a comedy. It definitely has funny parts and the dialogue is very sophisticated. But again, to categorize this movie as a comedy is in correct. It's a romantic-comedy at best, but a dramedy is a better description.

Overall the movie is worth renting. I would say save your money because this is a movie you're not going to watch twice. The cast is great, the story is decent, but the directing was lacking. But still watch it, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Susan Sarandon joins Wall Street 2

Susan Sarandon has joined the cast of Wall Street 2, the sequel to the award winning original. She is set to play Shia LeBeouf's mom. This doesn't really come as a surprise, lady can act! She is in the upcoming The Lovely Bones and won an Oscar for Dead Man Walking.

The sequel is being written by Allan Loeb. Also cast so far are: Frank Langella and Michael Douglas, who will play the same character as the first film, Gordon Gekko. Oliver Stone is directing the film. Looks like they're pulling all the stops and hiring real actor chops. Looking forward to this.

Relax... Megan Fox will NOT be playing Catwoman?

The Sun newspaper gave everyone that's a Batman fan a scare today... they reported Megan Fox was cast as Catwoman in the upcoming Batman 3. This scared every fan in the world because, well, she sucks. It's really that simple, she's a terrible actress. Christopher Nolan hasn't even been confirmed as director yet, much less casting. There is no way this rumor is true. After the incredible casting of the first two movies, I doubt Nolan OR Warner Brothers would approve of Megan Fox. So for now, lets relax and wait for the confirmation that she is NOT cast in Batman 3.

Thank you to /slashfilm for the picture.

Hancock 2 is a go... writers hired

Last week the director of Hancock, Peter Berg, gave us a solid hint that a sequel was coming. Today, the news has been announced that Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara have been hired to write the script. Both writers come from a background in TV. That was quick! Well, the first movie made so much money, we knew it was a matter of time before this would happen.

***SPOILER ALERT***

Berg has hinted of a possible third God getting into the mix. To be honest, that was what I liked least about the first movie. The idea of an alcoholic superhero that swears and destroys more than he saves, BRILLIANT! It was executed well by the director and actors, the script just needed work. So hopefully this go around they can do it right. Anyone up for a Hancock sequel?
