‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,’ is a film that we knew was coming as soon as we’d heard about the first Transformers. There are certain movies that cannot escape the sequel train, I guarantee you, it was the first was greenlit if only for merchandising and the franchise it would start once again. [Read more...]
Apparently Shia LaBeouf says Indiana Jones 5 is in the works. The actor told BBC news that “Steven [Spielberg] just said that he cracked the story on it before I left and I think they’re gearing that up.”
Well, I guess we’ll see what happens with this one.
Variety is reporting that Oliver Stone and Shia LaBeouf has signed on to join Michael Douglas in “Wall Street 2.”
The script was originally witten a couple of years ago by Stephen Schiff, but things didn’t work out. Alan Loeb has done a re-write on the script and now things look like they’re moving forward.
The story involved Gordon Gekko getting out of prison and mentoring a young LaBeouf, in exchange for spending time with his estranged daughter.
Can’t say I’m looking forward to this, but who knows, Oliver Stone has surprised me before.
In case you weren’t excited enough for the second Transformer’s movie, opening this summer, Michael Bay has even more good news for you.
“Transformers 3″ will be released July 1, 2011. Of course, part 2 (subtitled “Renvenge of the Fallen,”) will be released June 24th. No word on whether if Shia LaBeouf or Megan Fox will come back for part three. Bay has all but said he’d be back.
So, if you’re a fan of the ‘Formers, get excited. Dust off your Optimus Prime costume. Get in line now.
William Monahan, the Oscar-winning writer of “The Departed,” and who also scripts such films as “Body of Lies,” and “Kingdom of Heaven,” will be tackling John Grisham next.
Monahan has been signed to write the screen adaptation of Grisham’s latest book, “The Associate.” The project reportedly has Shia LaBeouf tapped to play the lead.
There hasn’t been a Grisham-based movie in a while, so, maybe now’s the time for them to start rolling out every few months or so. (Remember the 90s? Weren’t they great?) While there have been some good Grisham-based movies, there have also been some terrible ones. Here’s hoping the Monahan/LaBeouf combo puts “The Associate” in the category of former, rather than later. -Sam
What benefited the viewing of this film for me, was the fact that I hadn’t read a single shred of information on it. I knew nothing more then its basic premise and who was in it. I did not read a single review save for the snippets they highlight in the TV spots. [Read more...]

So after 19-years, it still really is no surprise that Steven Spielberg, and the fedora-donning Indiana Jones raked in $151.1 million dollars since its premiere on Thursday, bringing in $311.1 million dollars worldwide.
‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,’ didn’t break the Memorial Day record, set last by ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’ ($139.8 million), ‘Jones’ brought in $126 mil over the weekend (but I doubt anyone is complaining).
