FACT: With Harry Potter wrapping soon, Warner Bros. is looking to step up production of film adaptations of their DC Comics properties. CEO Barry Meyer said there will be an “organisational (sic) announcement” sometime this week.
OPINION: With rival Marvel getting ready to unleash THE AVENGERS films in the coming years, the time is ripe for WB to get serious with their crop of DC superheroes. What the looming announcement will be is anyone’s guess, but the money is on either Superman, The Flash, or maybe even Wonder Woman.
FACT: Casey Affleck has confirmed to The NY Times that the Joaquin Phoenix film I’M STILL HERE is fictional.
OPINON: Yes, Casey and Joaquin are assholes for fooling and trying to fool the entire world. But what’s worth noting is Phoenix’s 24/7 performance that lasted nearly two years; a performance that earned him ridicule and embarrassment that may not ever go away. He took BORAT to a new level; a level that may never be seen again.
FACT: Speaking of BORAT, Sacha Baron Cohen has signed on to play Freddie Mercury in an upcoming biopic.
OPINION: Whoever came up with this idea ought to be given a Lifetime Oscar right now. Not only does Cohen look the part, but he’s probably the only one in the world with the fearlessness needed to correctly portray the flamboyant frontman. Perfect casting.
FACT: Hot Toys has announced the pending release of a Col. Hans Landa Collectible Figure, as played by Christoph Waltz in INGLORIOUS BASTERDS. They are boasting a strong likeness, a movie-accurate facial expression, German army uniform and detailed accessories.
OPINION: Am I the only one who thinks having a figure of a Nazi solider on display in your home is a bad idea?
What say you?
