FACT: Darren Aronofosky (BLACK SWAN, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, THE WRESTLER), says that his planned adaptation of Noah and his ark is finally ready to go, and that it won't be for the kiddies. The quote:
"[He was the] first environmentalist. [The] first person to plant vineyards, drink wine and get drunk. I was stunned going back and realizing how dirty some of those stories are. They’re not PG in any way. They’re all about sleeping with your brother’s sister who gives you a child who you don’t know. That kind of stuff got censored out of our religious upbringing"
Aronofosky is looking to get his script published as a graphic novel as an effort to gain attention from a major studio/backer.
OPINION: There are a handful of people in the movie biz that should be allowed to do whatever the hell they want; Christopher Nolan, Daniel Day-Lewis, Cate Blanchett...and Darren Aronofosky. This blogger says BRING IT.
FACT: Shane Black has been confirmed as the director for IRON MAN 3. Black has directed one film: KISS KISS BANG BANG (2005). He's mostly known as a writer, having penned the screenplays for LETHAL WEAPON 1 thru 4, and LAST ACTION HERO. It is not known if he will write the script for IM3.
OPINION: New blood is probably what the franchise needs. His writing suggests a buddy-buddy flick that would fit well with the Stark-Rhodes relationship, providing Don Cheadle can get the two-by-four out of his ass. His real challenge will be handling the mega-star power that the film is going to be loaded with, not to mention coming up with a strong followup to THE AVENGERS.
FACT: The once prestigious studio known as MGM, now getting out of its' bankruptcy mess, is moving ahead with planned remakes of 1980's hits such as POLTERGIEST, ROBOCOP and MR. MOM.
OPINION: Somewhere, Leo the Lion is rolling over in his grave.
