NBC’s Remake of ‘The Munsters’ Series Gets A New Title!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 2nd, 2012Hi Bryan Here….
You heard that right. NBC is rebooting the 60′s hit tv series ‘The Munsters’. The project is being created by ‘Pushing Daisies’ creator Bryan Fuller and ‘X-Men’/'Usual Suspects’ director Bryan Singer. So to sort of distance themselves from being a a huge reboot, the title is going from ‘The Munsters’ to ‘Mockingbird Lane’. You know, because the Munsters live on Mockingbird Lane.

‘Back to The Future’ Might Have a Future On Broadway?!?!?
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 2nd, 2012Hi Bryan Here…
Director Robert Zemeckis is in early talks with his co-writer Bob Gale and the film’s composer Alan Silvestri to get ‘Back to the Future’ on Broadway as a stage show according to Deadline. I believe they are talking about it being a musical, which is awesome. Imagine the ‘Johnnie B Good’ number. That could be excellent. And all the 80′s and 50′s music. This could be great.
Yet Another Star Wars/Dog/Volkswagen Super Bowl Commercial!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 2nd, 2012Hi Bryan Here….
This time, I think the commercial is much better. But my advice…drop the Star Wars and go with Star Trek. Plus it is always great to hear James Brown in anything. Volkswagen is doing something right. Thanks Wade.

The movie, titled ‘Switch’, will focus on the characters Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara once played by Samuel L. Jackson and Robert De Niro in the Tarantino ‘Jackie Brown.
