Quickie: This is It early numbers are big

Variety is reporting big numbers for the Michael Jackson behind-the-scenes film, This is It. Try 20 million dollars! The movie was released Tuesday at midnight and all day yesterday. Not bad! I saw the film last night and will be posting a full review by the end of the day. He really is the King isn't he?

The Crow to be rebooted, HERE'S MY VOTE:

It's been announced that The Crow will be rebooted. For those who don't remember, The Crow is the amazing action/drama starring the late Brandon Lee, in his final role. The movie came out in 1994, and has been followed up with a few, unmemorable sequels.
I don't want to tell Hollywood what to do, but to me, a reboot, should be different. Christopher Nolan's Batman is far different from Tim Burton's Batman. And FAR FAR different than Joel Schumacher's Batman. That, to me, is the definitive reboot; not many like this in Hollywood. So, here's my vote: Milla Jovovich as the lead in a new 'Crow' movie.

She is so talented, so gifted and so beautiful; I want to see a dark, vicious side to her. I want to see her seek revenge against those who have done her wrong. How bad ass would that be? How different from the original, yet keeping the same idea? She is a proven action star with the Resident Evil trilogy, she could do it! Let's start a petition eh? Who's with, or against me?

Steve Carr, Paul Blart: Mall Cop director to reboot Short Circuit

Variety reported that Steve Carr is set to direct the reboot of Short Circuit, the lovable robot from the mid to late 80's. Carr directed the surprise hit Paul Blart: Mall Cop last year.

The news kind of cements what I had thought; they're going for the foo-foo family stuff with this reboot. Which is okay I suppose, I would have liked to have seen something a little different from the original, hence it being called a reboot, not a sequel. Oh well, it is what it is, and we'll give you more news as it comes up.
