by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 28th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
A few weeks ago, we did a segment on the PODCAST, where we pitched ideas for whacky film and music festivals. It seems that people enjoyed those episodes, so we decided to do the same thing, but this time around, we are pitching our ideas for new Television Networks. we came up with some pretty great ideas including a network that brings back our favorite canceled tv series.

What happens to Ghostbusters 3 Without Harold Ramis?
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 28th, 2014Jana B. here,
Harold Ramis gave us years and years of laughter that came to an end way too early. The entertainment world will also tell us of the void he left within their ranks. We, the fans are left questioning the future of ‘Ghostbusters III‘. Sony is still managing to keep ‘Ghostbusters III‘ on track, even though Ramis was to have made a cameo appearance. Ivan Reitman, who formerly directed the first two Ghostbusters films is scheduled to meet with the heads of production to form a game plan to keep it in active development.
Jason Statham Joins Melissa McCarthy in ‘Susan Cooper’!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 28th, 2014Jana B. here,
Jason Statham is at the top of his game with a handful of projects in different levels of production. After being pitched the idea last year all is in place for him to sign onto ‘Susan Cooper‘ and costar with resident funny girl Melissa McCarthy. The feature film was written and will be directed by Paul Feig, I remember him clearly as Stanley from 1990’s campy and ridiculous ‘Ski Patrol‘.
Oprah Winfrey Supports MLK Biopic!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 28th, 2014Jana B. here,
Think of all the biopics we’ve seen to date. Look at who they are about. Joan Crawford, Kennedy, Lincoln, Al Capone, Tina Turner, Ty Cobb, Lane Frost…the list is vast. There are a few personalities that get bio treatments from several people and others that have yet to be immortalized in film. We’re looking at a big screen, no-holds-barred Martin Luther King Jr. feature. Paramount is in final negotiations to acquire domestic distribution rights to ‘Selma‘, a feature drama about Martin Luther King’s 1965 landmark voting rights campaign regarded as the peak of the civil rights movement.
Film Review: ‘The Bag Man’!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 28th, 2014Jana B. here,
I really wanted to like ‘The Bag Man‘, I did. I love Robert De Niro. I love John Cusack. How could this not be an awesome movie? It started out really promising. The opening scene jumped right into the plot. No excessive build-up, no slow start, just right there. Boom! On first impressions I was already bored of hearing about the bloody bag but I was intrigued, too. I want to know what’s in the bag but I’m also trying to figure out who decided to outfit De Niro and Cusack with the most ridiculous eye-wear known to man. De Niro’s begin to grow on you, but there is no way I could ever take Cusack seriously in those hideous specs.
Film Review: “Son of God”
by Woozie on Feb 27th, 2014Suzanne L., Here…
Whether you believe or do not believe, most people can agree that the story of Jesus is very powerful. A man who sacrifices his life by a going through a terrible death in the hopes that his act will save humankind from the grave – it is automatically filled with drama and meaning. Unfortunately, the latest film to try to capture the power of this story, Son of God, fails in so many ways. From the acting to the scripting to the special effects and staging, this is one story of the Gospel that should be skipped.
Has ‘The Stand’ Found a Permanent Director?
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 27th, 2014Jana B. here,
Stephen King’s world is fertile ground for scary twists and turns. Film makers for decades have looked to the author for source material for film and TV alike. ‘The Stand‘ was originally released as a mini-series in 1994. Josh Boone (‘Stuck In Love‘) is in talks to re-write and direct ‘The Stand‘. This won’t be Boone’s first project where a book has been re-tooled for the big screen. John Green’s beloved novel ‘The Fault In Our Stars‘ is directed by Boone and is highly anticipated for release this June.
Warren Beatty Project 20 Years in the Making Begins Filming!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 27th, 2014Jana B. here,
Warren Beatty hasn’t been featured on the big screen for quite a while and he is ready to change that. Beatty has had a Howard Hughes-based project perking in his head for 20 years before we’re seeing any tangible sign of its existence. Beatty will direct and star as Hughes, but it will center on Hughes’ assistant and his love interest. Beatty’s wife, Annette Bening and Matthew Broderick have lent their talents to the project and we’re told there may still be a few surprise actors to join, we’re being told perhaps Jack Nicholson?
Film Review: ‘Non-Stop’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 27th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
In the next installment of Liam Neeson saving the world, or in this case, 150 people 30,000 feet up in the air on a commercial airliner from New York to London, things are so over-the-top ridiculous, things tend to not make a whole lot of sense. But what do you really expect from a Liam Neeson movie these days? That being said, this thriller in the air called ‘Non-Stop‘ is quite fun and is less cheesy than the ‘Taken‘ films, but not as gritty as ‘The Grey‘.
Adam Driver Will Play A Villain in J.J. Abrams’ New ‘Star Wars’ Films!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 26th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
Adam Driver, mostly known for playing Hannah’s boyfriend on the HBO series ‘Girls‘, and was recently seen in the Coen Bros. film ‘Inside Llewyn Davis‘ has been set to play the viallin in ‘Star Wars: Episode VII‘ from J.J. Abrams. there is a high level of secrecy of which villain he will be playing, and we don’t know yet if this is the same role that Michael Fassbender and Joel Kinnaman were going for.
Luke Bracey Joins Cast of ‘Point Break’ Remake!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 26th, 2014Jana B. here,
Alcon Entertainment, the company behind the remake of yet another Patrick Swayze movie, and movie I grew up with. Both are treasonous acts and I really hoped the ‘Point Break‘ remake would lose steam and remain untouched. Sadly, that is not the case. Gerard Butler was previously announced to star as Bodhi, Swayze’s original part. We now have a new face for Johnny Utah, the role originated by Keanu Reeves. Luke Bracey (‘G.I. Joe Retaliation‘ and ‘Monte Carlo‘) has been announced as the newest cast member.
‘Boy Choir’ Finds Its Cast!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 26th, 2014Jana B. here,
‘The Red Violin‘ director Francois Girard’s indie drama, ‘Boy Choir‘ has some massive star power in the cast. Debra Winger, Josh Lucas, Eddie Izzard, Kevin McHale and Dustin Hoffman are bringing the story of a troubled 12 year old in Texas, who, after his single mom dies, ends up at an East Coast boy choir school, to life.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt On Board ‘To Reach The Clouds’!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 26th, 2014Jana B. here,
Director Robert Zemeckis has a slew of successful movies to his name. Hits like the ‘Back To The Future‘ trilogy, ‘Forrest Gump‘, ‘Cast Away‘, ‘The Polar Express‘ and 2012’s ‘Flight‘. It stands to reason that whatever project he decides to work on will turn out prosperous. Looks like Zemeckis has selected his next project, the story of Philippe Petit, the French high wire artist and “the artistic crime of the century”.
‘Babylon Fields’ Resurrecting From Cancellation!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 26th, 2014Jana B. here,
Remember the show ‘Babylon Fields‘ from CBS? Yeah, me either. There’s a reason for that. Looks like it was worked up to pilot order in 2007 but CBS axed it before it could air. Looks like NBC is resurrecting the series and ordering a new pilot with some of the original cast. Meagan Good and Skeet Ulrich is part of the new cast. Ulrich is known for his roles in ‘The Craft‘, ‘Scream‘, and CBS’ TV show, ‘Jericho‘.
Jamie Lee Curtis Signs On For CBS Pilot!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 26th, 2014Jana B. here,
Jamie Lee Curtis is an actress that has a celebrated career and is in high demand for film and television roles. CBS has inked a deal with Curtis to star in an untitled David Marshall Grant drama pilot. The soapy medical drama, based on an Israeli format, orbits around quadruplets – three brothers and a sister – who grew up on a reality show. Curtis will play their mother, Caroline, a dynamic and distinguished physician who now runs the hospital.
‘Console Wars’ Receives Film Adaptation From Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 26th, 2014Jana B. here,
Blake Harris has a new novel dropping in May of this coming year entitled ‘Console War‘. Sony Pictures has already snapped up the feature rights from Atlantic Books. The behind-the-scenes business thriller that chronicles how Sega, a small, scrappy gaming company led by an unlikely visionary and a team of rebels, took on the juggernaut Nintendo and revolutionized the video game industry. Culminating in a David and Goliath face-off. The battle was vicious, relentless, and highly profitable, eventually sparking a global corporate war that would be fought on several fronts: from living rooms and schoolyards to boardrooms and Congress. It was a once-in-a-lifetime, no-holds-barred conflict that pitted brother against brother, kid against adult, Sonic against Mario, and the US against Japan.Atlantic will publish ‘Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo and the Battle that Defined a Generation’ in August.
Dennis Rodman’s North Korea Diplomacy Debacle Will Now Be A Movie!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 26th, 2014Jana B. here,
The NBA has distinct stars in every era of it’s history, none moreso, than Dennis Rodman, a.k.a. “The Worm”. With his skills on the court and his absurd antics off, not to mention the plethora of hair colors, tattoos and piercings, Rodman has definitely made a name for himself. Whether he was on the court for a number of NBA teams, or switching things up after a suspension from the NBA and trying his hand at professional wrestling, he was always bringing his trademark style to the court, or mat.

Amanda Seyfried set To Star in ‘Ted’ Sequel!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 24th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
We knew earlier last year that Seth MacFarlane was going to make a sequel to his hit rated R comedy ‘Ted‘, since it made $550 million dollars on a $50 million dollar budget. But it looks like MacFarlane has cast Amanda Seyfried for the main female role, rather than Mila Kunis this time.
Harold Ramis: 1944-2014!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 24th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
This just sucks beyond belief. Actor/Writer/Director/Producer Harold Ramis passed away this morning at his home in Chicago. He is most known for playing Dr. Egon Spangler in the ‘Ghostbusters‘, meaning he was an actual Ghostbuster. He was 69. He started off at Second City and got his big break as a co-writer of the famous 1978 film ‘National Lampoon’s Animal House‘. He also wrote ‘Meatballs‘, which starred his friend Bill Murray.
‘The Walking Dead’ Season 4 Recap – Episode 11 ‘Claimed’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 24th, 2014Misty S., Here….
Ok “Walking Dead” fans, I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of the same thing happening in every episode with only a few little things to report. The whole cast just needs to magically find each other and deal with their emotional problems soon, or I’m likely to to throw something at my television. With that being said, let us dive into this episode which I have just renamed to “The Escape From the Crap House.”
Warner Bros. Is Developing ‘Space Jam 2’!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 24th, 2014Jana B. here,
Over the weekend, a very trusted news source in Hollywood called Deadline, ran a news story that said, “Lebron James was going to star in the upcoming ‘Space Jam‘ sequel. The article mentioned producers and a studio, which was Warner Bros. A day or so later, Lebron and a couple of people on the NBA side and close to Lebron’s camp refuted the story and basically said this wasn’t happening. But the wording they used was confusing. The sources said that there have been no “substantive discussions”, which means, the deals are not made yet, however talks have happened. It seems like Warner Bros. is definitely making a ‘Space Jam‘ sequel, and they want Lebron to star in it, but again, no deals have been made yet. In my personal opinion, I think Shaq should star rather than Lebron. Or just get Jordan back. He’s not doing anything. Below is the original story.
Eli Roth Answers the Door in ‘Knock Knock’!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 24th, 2014Jana B. here,
Eli Roth is an actor I look at and instantly think ‘That’s the Bear Jew from ‘Inglorious Basterds!’ Imagine my surprise when I learned I know more of his work that he directed, produced or wrote. I love movie trivia and I totally missed this one! Having said that, he’s got a new project in the works.
Warner Bros. Is Building A ‘Lego Movie’ Sequel!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 24th, 2014Jana B. here,
After the ‘Lego Movie‘ proved to be such a massive blockbuster hit world-wide, Warner Brothers is not letting any of the momentum die down before announcing a sequel. While the details about the coming film are sketchy at best, one thing we know for sure is the release date has been staked out for May 26, 2017, with it being the beginning of the long Memorial Day weekend, we can assume it will be the tentpole for their summer film releases. At this point, this is the only film to claim the release date. So far, the only real thing that has been confirmed is the release date and that it will be the Lego universe. The rumor mill is spinning with whether or not it will be a proper sequel to the film in theaters now or if it will be a Lego Ninjago spinoff.
NBC Is Reviving ‘Heroes’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 22nd, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
Some interesting news is afoot over at NBC. Maybe it’s because the super-hero craze is at an all-time high right now, or it maybe that reboots and sequels are a sure way to make money, or maybe it’s because tons of people are salivating at the return of ‘24‘ with Jack Bauer that has NBC reviving ‘Heroes‘.
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues….On?
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 21st, 2014Jana B. here,
Remember way back at the end of October when Adam McKay told us that for every joke we laugh at in one of his movies that there are at least a dozen jokes that didn’t make it into the final cut? Then he told us he was wanting to ultimately re-release ‘Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues‘ with an entirely different version than originally seen in theaters? OK, well, if you remember that, THAT is what is going to happen! The mind boggles that there is more to be added, but there is a lot!
Edward Norton Turns to ‘Motherless Brooklyn’!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 21st, 2014Jana B. here,
Edward Norton is an exceptional and compelling actor, writer and filmmaker, and has decided on his next project. Well, he decided 15 years ago, it just took time to get his vision crystal clear before it could be put to celluloid. That time is now. What is this mysterious project, you ask? The film treatment of the Jonathan Lethem novel of critical acclaim, ‘Motherless Brooklyn‘. You know how you read a book and hope someone takes that vision and puts it directly onto screen? Don’t hold your breath for that happening with this novel. While taking the source material mostly straight across there are going to be some major changes. One of those changes is Lethem’s novel takes place in 1999, or at least contemporary New York. Norton is setting his story in 1954, a time of great change in the city.
Will Smith in Talks To Be in ‘Brilliance’!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 21st, 2014Jana B. here,
The silver screen adaptation of the Marcus Sakey novel ‘Brilliance‘ is courting Will Smith to star. This film was already on a ‘to watch’ list when Julius Onah (‘The Girl Is In Trouble‘), the Nigerian-born up and comer, was on tap to direct, but if Smith signs on to act, it will widen the number of people who will be viewing.
Kid Cudi Joins Big Screen Cast of ‘Entourage’!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 21st, 2014Jana B. here,
‘Entourage‘ is a crazy successful television series that was on HBO for 8 seasons, with the series ending in 2011. The series has been optioned for big screen treatment to give us all another peek in the sometimes glamorous, always real life of Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier) and his gaggle of friends and the pit viper agent, Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven).
Tina Fey Learns ‘The Taliban Shuffle’!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 21st, 2014Jana B. here,
Have you ever wondered how Tina Fey would fare in Afghanistan and Pakistan? No, I haven’t either. No matter, we’re going to see what that looks like on the big screen with ‘The Taliban Shuffle‘. Paramount Pictures is behind the project that Fey will produce, along with a colleague from her ‘Saturday Night Live‘ days, Lorne Michaels. Robert Carlock, the writer responsible, in part for ’30 Rock’, ‘Saturday Night Live’ and ‘Friends‘, will adapt the book based on Kim Barker’s ‘The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan.’
Film Review: ‘Pompeii’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 20th, 2014Ben K., Here….
I love Pompeii. It’s a fascinating place where the past comes to life; where all one imagines of the Roman Empire is made tangible. It’s amazing to walk through ancient homes surrounded by frescoes, mosaics, restaurants, a bathhouse, a grand theater…and one need only look upward to see the cause of both Pompeii’s destruction and preservation. That vast, once fearsome volcano. Still, it is worth but a glance; the city and her ghosts will forever remain the focus of Pompeii. In his latest film, Paul W.S. Anderson gives us the opposite: a cursory glance at the people and the detailed wrath of top-billed Mount Vesuvius.
Film Review: ‘3 Days To Kill’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 20th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
With characters named ‘The Wolf’, ‘The Albino’, ‘The Accountant’, and ‘The Guido’, you can’t expect too much quality from ‘3 Days To Kill‘, which was directed by McG (the guy who brought us the ‘Charlie’s Angels‘ movies and who at one point, wanted to cast Beyonce as Lois Lane in an abandoned remake of ‘Superman‘ several years ago). Needless to say, McG, hasn’t done anything of interest ever in his career with the exception of giving a little bit of money to television shows like ‘Supernatural‘ and ‘Chuck‘.
Terrence Howard Set To Star In ‘Empire’!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 20th, 2014Jana B. here,
Terrence Howard is one of the most hard-working and in-demand actors the film industry has to its credit. Right now, he has 8 projects that are in development. That doesn’t even include some of the powerhouse films he is just on the backside of like ‘Prisoners‘, and the award winning ‘Lee Daniels’ The Butler’.
‘Walking Dead’ Alums Tackle New Project!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 20th, 2014Jana B. here,
Robert Kirkman has mastered comics and television with ‘The Walking Dead‘, also gaining a great working relationship with Dead’s own Daryl Dixon – Norman Reedus. The two have teamed on a feature film titled ‘Air‘. Reedus and Djimon Hounsou will star and Kirkman will produce the sci-fi thriller.
And The New ‘Fantastic Four’ Are….
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 20th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
Fox is rebooting it’s superhero franchise, ‘Fantastic Four‘ with Josh Trank (Chronicle) directing. It seems now that Trank and Fox has found its leading heroes. Miles Teller, Kata Mara, Michael B. Jordan, and Jamie Bell are set to star in the Marvel Comic adaptation. This is great news and one hell of a cast.
Jai Courtney Will Play Kyle Reese in ‘The Terminator’ Reboot!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 19th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
We’ve been talking about ‘The Terminator‘ reboot for quite some time now. We know that Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) will be playing Sarah Connor and Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty) will be playing John Connor with Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones/Thor:The Dark World) directing. Now we have just found out that actor Jai Courtney (A Good Day To Die Hard) has been cast as Kyle Reese.
Judd Apatow and Brie Larson Talk ‘Trainwreck’!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 19th, 2014Jana B. here,
Judd Apatow is developing ‘Trainwreck‘. No, I’m not saying I think the film will be a trainwreck. Apatow has found his niche in the film world much in the same way Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith have their cemented fans. A few of the trademarks for an Apatow film are finding the same 10-12 actors appearing in almost each one, and while they are brilliant comedies, they’re realistic and a bit longer than the average 90 minute comedy. So far the only thing that’s been released about ‘Trainwreck‘, is that he’s directing and we’re beginning to see the cast fill out.

by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 19th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
A few weeks ago, we did a segment on the PODCAST, where we pitched ideas for whacky film festivals. One of those was a 24 hour Nic Cage movie festival, which sounded amazing. It seems that people enjoyed the episode, so we decided to do the same thing, but this time around, we are pitching Music Festivals. we came up with some pretty funny ideas including one with Bronies, and one set on the rooftops of Chicago.

Get A Load of This Hilarious New Trailer For ’22 Jump Street’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 19th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
We have a brand new trailer with new footage for ‘22 Jump Street‘, the sequel to 2012’s ‘21 Jump Street‘ reboot that starred Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube, Rob Riggle, Brie Larson, and Dave Franco. It was a surprise hit and did very well with critics. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are back directing the sequel, which they are hot off the press tour for their amazing ‘LEGO Movie‘. Michael Bacall is also back as the film’s writer.
Jada Pinkett Smith lands villainous role in ‘Gotham’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 19th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
Fox’s Batman prequel series ‘Gotham‘ has been adding names left and right for the past few weeks to its cast. Ben McKenzie will play Jim Gordon while Donal Logue will play Harvey Bullock. Now, the network has cast Jada Pinkett Smith (‘The Matrix‘) in the series. Smith will play a ruthless villain called Fish Mooney, a sadistic mob boss who might be in cahoots with The Penguin.
A ‘Ride Along’ Sequel Is Already in the Works!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 19th, 2014Jana B. here,
‘Ride Along‘ is still in theaters. Before the proverbial body of the original is even cold, Universal Pictures executives are already planning the sequel. The movie hasn’t even made it to the gap between theatrical release and DVD release, yet! It’s like Hollywood is checking the obituary column of the paper to get the jump on a great rent-control apartment in the city.
Haley Joel Osment Joins ‘Entourage’!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 19th, 2014Jana B. here,
Haley Joel Osment is a name that is said pretty much in the same sentence as “Have you seen ‘The Sixth Sense‘? You know the one that kid Haley Joel Osment is in?” For me, he kind of dropped off the radar since the flop that was ‘A.I.: Artificial Intelligence‘ and the mildly successful ‘Secondhand Lions‘ in 2003. Turns out he has voiced a slew of video game characters and has been in some movies I’ve never heard the name of. Osment is currently finishing up production on the Kevin Smith-directed comedy ‘Tusk‘ that is expected to release this fall.
Showtime Renews Sunday Night Line-Up!!!

Showtime continues to cement it’s place in series-TV. Pulling in stellar numbers in the coveted Sunday night viewing lineup. Today, David Nevins, President of Entertainment with Showtime Networks announced the production company has renewed the full winter Sunday night line-up.This means ‘Shameless‘, ‘House of Lies‘ and ‘Episodes‘ are all sticking around for another season each.
JK Rowling To Release New Robert Galbraith Book!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 18th, 2014Jana B. here,
If you’re a best-selling author, everything you do gets scrutinized. If you’re a best-selling author that single-handedly re-ignited a passion for reading in young people the world over, you can’t take a breath that someone, somewhere doesn’t want to know about. So it is for JK Rowling. Most writers wait their whole lives to be a best-selling author. When your first attempt becomes the most popular series in history, you might want some anonymity after that.
Blu-Ray Review: ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 3!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 18th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
THE TV SERIES – 5/5 STARS
Nothing has slowed down or become redundant with HBO’s flagship series, ‘Game of Thrones‘ Season 3. Based on George R.R. Martin’s third book ‘A Storm of Swords‘, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have decided to split the book up into two seasons, which is no easy feat, considering the amount of information in the book and the strategy of where to place certain story arcs. Luckily for us, everyone involved from the cast and crew of the show have flawlessly executed every aspect of the series.
Here’s The Amazing ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Trailer!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 18th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
We’ve been hearing about this film for a while now. This is Marvel’s new epic film in the whole superhero franchise. We saw a tease to this film at the end of ‘Thor: The Dark World‘ earlier last year. It’s where we saw Benicio Del Toro doing something sinister. James Gunn (Slither & Super) is directing. If you are unfamiliar with the story, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe.

by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 17th, 2014Misty S., Here…
Well Walking Dead fans, where do I begin? Carol is back, Judith is alive and Glen never left the prison. Lets get started on episode two of what happened to the entire cast. Beth and Daryl are still alive and in the woods. They spend the their scenes running away and killing walkers. There is a narrative of Beth reading a letter she wrote when they first got into the prison and how she had faith. They come upon a group of walkers and the dead bodies of Luke and his father. Nothing really spectacular happens to them. Daryl is a badass like always.

‘Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog’ Is Gearing Up For A Sequel!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 16th, 2014Jana B. here,
If you don’t know who Dr. Horrible is, I’m going to assume you have been living under a rock, on Mars, or in a cave with no sunlight and/or internet access. ‘Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog‘ is a comedy, tragedy, musical….a comtragical? I like that. I officially coin ‘comtragical’ TM pending. The story in 3 separate acts stars gorgeous voices and wonderful voices from Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day.
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice….Beetlejuice?
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 14th, 2014Jana B. here,
Say the name 3 times and you’re in trouble! Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary….’Beetlejuice‘? Talking about none other than the original black and white stripe suit wearing master of disaster before Robin Thicke took a crack at the outfit, and the disaster that is Miley Cyrus. Before he came along, Michael Keaton did it better than anyone could imagine. Tim Burton knew he was making an excellent casting decision bringing ‘Mr. Mom’ into the mix.
Ron Howard Might Direct The Live-Action Adaptation of ‘The Jungle Book’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 14th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
This project just can’t seem to get off the ground. Over the past few years, Rudyard Kipling’s ‘The Jungle Book‘ has been trying to get made over at Warner Bros. There have been a few big-time directors on the stand, set to direct this, but all have fallen through. Now it seems that Ron Howard is the next person in line to inherit this big project.
Best TV Series 90’s-Present Bracket!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 14th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
We now have the first round elimination for our new Bracket, which is the Best TV Shows from the 1990s through present day. A few weeks ago, we took a couple of days to come up with 64 of the best tv shows from that time-frame, and we put them in a NCAA-style tournament bracket to see what would emerge as the best show of that time. We separated them into two categories, which were comedy series and drama series. Even in this opening round, there were some big fights amongst us. Blood was drawn. You can click the link below to see the bracket in its entirety. This was a lot of fun. We will be posting some images of our re-cast for you to see in full on our FACEBOOK page, which you should visit to catch up on all the latest information. And don’t forget to visit iTunes and subscribe to our podcast. Enjoy the show.
‘Lord of the Rings’ Re-Cast!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 14th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
Here is our third Re-Cast of the year, where if you are unfamiliar with our famous Re-Casts, we take an older film or tv show and re-cast it if it were remade today. And we have chosen the big blockbuster film ‘The Lord of the Rings‘, specifically, ‘Fellowship of the Ring‘ to re-cast. Our one rule was that we had to Re-Cast this with an all black actors and actresses. And let me tell you, I want to see this movie. This was a lot of fun. We will be posting some images of our re-cast for you to see in full on our FACEBOOK page, which you should visit to catch up on all the latest information.

The Most Inappropriate Valentines Movies!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 14th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
Happy Valentines Day, everyone. This is our 24th podcast, coming straight to you on Valentines Day 2014!! We here at the Multi-Media Men had a great time with this segment. So usually, when you are with your date or significant other on Valentines Day, you tend to see romantic films full of love and comedy. Some do the horror genre, which I do of course (the bloodier the better). But we though it would be great to come up with a list of movies for you on this special day that are the most inappropriate movies to show your date on Valentines. There are some truly awful suggestion. Or amazing suggestions, depending on how you look at it. So enjoy this hilarious episode of the most inappropriate Valentines movies.
Film Review: Winter’s Tale
by Woozie on Feb 13th, 2014
Suzanne L., Here….
What could possibly go wrong in a romantic movie that includes time travel, Colin Farrell on a flying horse, Russell Crowe as a demon, and Will Smith as the Devil? Well, a lot actually. Winter’s Tale is a truly sappy bit of film with a lot of star power and a story that relies on manipulation rather than actual depth.
‘Firefly’ Producer Hints At A Limited Series Reboot!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 13th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
Wow. The browncoats must be overjoyed right now. ‘Firefly‘ producer-writer Tim Minear discussed the possibility of a new season or reboot of the original show, which was cancelled way too soon over a decade a go. Now let me assure you, that nothing is in the works as far as a tv show right now. But let’s just go through the facts shall we?
Film Review: ‘Endless Love’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 13th, 2014Fernando M., Here…
I just watched a two hour Abercrombie and Fitch commercial disguised as a romance film. “Endless Love,” contrary to its title, is actually about fleeting and superficial teenage love. This movie is built for teens; ready to capitalize on their angst, their desire to piss off daddy, and their raging libidos.
Check Out This Cool Trailer for ‘Joe’ Starring Nic Cage!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 13th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
Director David Gordon Green (‘Pineapple Express‘), has a new movie coming out called ‘JOE‘, which stars Nic Cage and Tye Sheridan (‘Mud‘). This trailer is different for Cage, and looks like this will be one of the good movies for him. I can’t wait to see this, as it looks different and original from anything else. Enjoy the trailer below. ‘JOE‘ will be released in theaters and VOD on April 11th.
Death Waltz Is Re-Issuing the ‘Twin Peaks’ Soundtrack!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 13th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
Death Waltz Recording Company, the record printer that is famous for re-releasing excellent horror movie soundtracks, has announced they will be releasing two separate soundtracks to David Lynch’s cult series, ‘Twin Peaks‘ and the film companion ‘Fire Walk with Me‘. There is no release date as of yet, but we do know the two releases will be two different colors. I’m completely psyched about this, as ‘Twin Peaks‘ was one of the greatest shows to ever air on television.
Juliette Lewis Joins Ryan Phillippe in ‘Secrets & Lies’!!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 13th, 2014Jana B. here,
‘Secrets & Lies’ an ABC drama series adapted from the Australian version of the same name, will be produced by Australia-based Hoodlum. Barbie Kligman (‘Private Practice’, ‘The Vampire Diaries’, ‘CSI: NY’) is writing, executive producer and showrunner along with EP’s Tracey Robertson and Nathan Mayfield. Charles McDougall (‘Sex and the City’, ‘The Office’) is set to direct the pilot. Ryan Phillippe has signed on to play the patriarch who becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a young boy when he finds the body. Juliette Lewis is the newest addition to the cast and will play Andrea Cornell, the unflappable, somewhat formidable detective conducting the investigation into the slaying of 4 year old Tom Mullen who has her sights set on Ben (Phillippe), the loving father who found the boy’s body.
Will Forte and ‘The Lego Movie’ Creators Bring Comedy to Fox Lineup!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 13th, 2014Jana B. here,
Fox is adding to its stable of fantastic television shows with ‘Last Man on Earth‘. Funnyman Will Forte (‘Nebraska‘, ‘Magruber‘, ‘Squirrels To The Nuts‘) created and will star in the show. Executive producing and directing the pilot are the duo of Phil Lord and Chris Miller from ‘The Lego Movie‘, ‘Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs‘ and ‘Clone High‘. This project is expected to produce 6-10 episodes and is part of Fox chairman Kevin Reilly’s plan to bypass pilot season altogether and go straight to series and cast projects outside of the traditional January-April pilot cycle.
‘Gone Girl’ Writer to Pen ‘Utopia’ for HBO!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 13th, 2014Jana B. here,
David Fincher’s name is synonymous with a successful film franchise, and for using Brad Pitt in his work. Films like ‘Fight Club‘, ‘Se7en‘, and ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button‘ have all been huge box office hits and when we hear Fincher’s name, we expect more of the same. After a successful TV debut with Netflix’s ‘House of Cards‘, he is ready to take on another series, like ‘House of Cards’ it is a British remake, and will be aired on HBO. The drama series project is based on the Channel 4 series, ‘Utopia‘, created by Dennis Kelly and produced by Kudos. ‘Utopia‘ enjoys a successful following on Channel 4 and in January of 2013 was picked up for a second season to air later this year.
John Singleton is Making The Tupac Shakur Biopic!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 13th, 2014Jana B. here,
The life story of Tupac Shakur is a long and winding tale for sure. From his beginnings in East Harlem, to the rap voice of the 1990’s with a heavy slant supporting Black Panther idealogy, and culminating in his participation in the East Coast/West Coast hip hop rivalry involving The Notorious B.I.G. and his label Bad Boy Records which ultimately led to Shakur’s death via multiple gunshot wounds in a drive-by shooting.
‘Sharknado 2’ Has A Cast Now!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 12th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
We already know that there was going to be a ‘Sharknado‘ sequel, and that the execs in charge of the film went to Twitter to come up with a title for the second film. Now we have ‘Sharknado 2: The Second One‘, and moves the location from Los Angeles to New York. But now it has its perfect cast, which is all new. And the choices are just amazing and at the same time, ridiculous.
John Oliver Is Taking Over HBO!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 12th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
Official Press Release: HBO has confirmed the title and launch date for John Oliver’s topical half-hour comedy series. Presenting a satirical look at the week in news, politics and current events, LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER will debut SUNDAY, APRIL 27 (11:00-11:30 p.m. ET/PT), with other weekly editions debuting subsequent Sundays at the same time on HBO.
‘The Wonder Years’ Is Finally Coming to DVD!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 12th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
Well it’s about time. The iconic 80’s tv show, ‘The Wonder Years‘ is finally getting a release on DVD. It has never before been released on home video in it’s entirety with the exception of a few ‘Best Of’ VHS’s. The entire series was released on Netflix a year or so ago, so it was only a matter of time before it got a phsyical release. But it looks like there is no Blu-Ray release scheduled. Most of the original music will be in tact, which was the major factor of it not being released on home video all these years, since it’s soundtrack contains tons of Beatles music amongst others. It was just too expensive. This is exciting news. I hope there are some great extras and I hope there is a Blu-Ray release soon.
Donal Logue Set For Fox’s Batman Drama ‘Gotham’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 12th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
Since we now know that Ben McKenzie will be playing Commissioner James Gordon in Fox’s Batman prequel tv series called ‘Gotham‘, it was only a matter of time before we found out the other cast members. Fox has announced that Donal Logue (‘Sons of Anarchy‘ and ‘The Tao of Steve‘) will be joining the cast as Detective Harvey Bullock.
‘The Brink’ Is Coming To HBO With Jack Black and Tim Robbins!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 12th, 2014Jana B. here,
HBO, in a quick move, has given a series order to ‘The Brink‘. The comedy stars Jack Black (‘Tropic Thunder‘, ‘School of Rock‘) and Tim Robbins (‘The Shawshank Redemption‘ and ‘Mystic River‘), directed by Jay Roach (‘Meet The Parents‘, ‘Austin Powers‘) and executive produced by Jerry Weintraub (‘The Karate Kid’ franchise, ‘Oceans Eleven’ and the newly announced ‘Tarzan’). Now that we have the proven star power behind this project, we need talented writers to bring it to fruition. Roberto Benabib and his brother Kim Benabib are penning the script. Roberto Benabib has shown a master handle on writing a dark comedy with his successful stint at writing for the show ‘Weeds‘ and ‘Ally McBeal‘.
Alexander Skarsgard Will Swing Into Theaters As ‘Tarzan’!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 12th, 2014Jana B. here,
If you’re like me, there is no story line too far fetched to keep me from gazing at the Nordic god-like appearance of Alexander Skarsgard. I’ve proven that by sitting through ‘Zoolander‘ one too many times and even the disaster of a film that was ‘Battleship‘. Now that I know there is a 3D live-action version of ‘Tarzan‘ going full speed ahead starring the Swedish bombshell, I’m more than a little excited about the idea of Skarsgard appearing on screen most of the time sporting only a loincloth. Thank you Warner Brothers! It comes our way in July 2016, in what will be a tent pole for the company’s summer movie season.
Holy Long John Silvers, Batman!! We Have Valentine Cards!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 11th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
Since the Hallmark holiday is coming up soon, I thought I’d post these cool and vintage Valentine cards for you, so you can send to your favorite people on Valentines Day. These are from 1966 and are all sorts of hilarious and awesome. Because, when you think of The Dark Knight, you think of hearts, roses, and love.
Eugene Levy And Catherine O’Hara Reunite In Audacious New Series Schitt’s Creek!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 11th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
CBC and Not A Real Company Productions Inc. announced today a 13-episode order of Schitt’s Creek, a new original half-hour comedy series. Emmy winners® Eugene Levy (American Pie, Best In Show, SCTV), Catherine O’Hara (Home Alone, Best In Show, SCTV) and Chris Elliott (How I Met Your Mother, Late Night With David Letterman, There’s Something About Mary) star alongside Canadian television personality Dan Levy (Admission, MTV’s The After Show). Commissioned by CBC, produced by Not A Real Company Productions Inc., and created by Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, the series begins production in Ontario this spring.
Film Review: ‘Robocop’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 11th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
Over the past year, I’ve been writing stories on the upcoming ‘Robocop‘ remake. As I found out more and more information about this reboot of the franchise, I was becoming less and less excited about it. It might of been the fact that it was getting a PG-13 rating, the change in the suit, or many of the other differences that were popping up from the original 1987 film that starred Peter Weller. Hell, even Weller himself said he was not looking forward to the remake and even compared his 1987 film to the likes of ‘Casablanca‘, which is hilarious.
Film Review: ‘The Attorney’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 11th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
Director Yang Woo-seok did a great job with his first outing with ‘The Attorney‘, the South Korean flick that has gone on to be one of the biggest films in the country. The movie is based on the real events of Roh Moo-hyun, who was South Korea’s ninth president, who later became an activist. The performances are top notch from everyone involved with Song Kang-ho (‘The Host‘) giving his best performance to date. This two-hour films deserves a wider release state-side.
Ron Howard To Film Biopic on Barry Seal!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 10th, 2014Jana B. here,
Universal Pictures was caught up in a bidding auction against Sony. The prize? A hot script by Gary Spinelli (Stash House) that has yet to be written for the rock bottom price of $1 million! Ron Howard is already attached to direct. I’m sure Universal is banking on Howard’s vision to garner the film a big box office viewing, after all he is a proven success with films like ‘Apollo 13‘, ‘A Beautiful Mind‘, ‘Cinderella Man‘ and ‘The Davinci Code‘ that have ruled their box office runs. Doug Davison, Brian Grazer and Kim Roth are all attached to produce or executive produce. Grazer is a success on his own steam and is often paired with Ron Howard for cinematic success.
Paramount Making Film on Benghazi Attack Based on Unreleased Book!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 10th, 2014Jana B. here,
How do we know what took place when we were not there to witness an event? We wait for the movie to come out. The more common way is we wait for the book to come out, then someone writes a movie based off the actual events. Historical movies make big money so it’s not surprising that a book describing the first hand account of the Benghazi attack is in the works. It’s also not surprising that Paramount is already negotiating to purchase film rights to the book that hasn’t even been released, yet.

Joel Silver Talks About His ‘Escape From New York’ Trilogy Reboot!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 10th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
I’m very skeptical about this project. The original ‘Escape from New York‘ that starred Kurt Russell and was directed by John Carpenter is pretty much flawless. ‘Escape From LA‘ on the other hand wasn’t as good, even though it had Bruce Campbell. That being said, Hollywood, specifically producer Joel Silver has been wanting to remake the film for the better part of a decade now. But it seems as of recently, that things are picking up speed.
Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara on the run with ‘Don’t Mess With Texas’!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 10th, 2014Jana B. here,
Anne Fletcher is a woman of many talents, a choreographer, actress, producer and director. She directed ‘The Guilt Trip‘, ‘The Proposal‘ and ‘27 Dresses‘. Fletcher is in talks with MGM, writers David Feeney and John Quaintance to direct ‘Don’t Mess With Texas‘, a female-driven comedy similar to 1988’s ‘Midnight Run‘. Reese Witherspoon (‘Legally Blonde’, ‘Walk The Line’) and Sofia Vergara (TV’s ‘Modern Family’, ‘Four Brothers’) are set to star.
Ben McKenzie Starring in ‘Gotham’ as young Jim Gordon!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 10th, 2014Jana B. here,
For a serious Batman fan, like me, there can never be too many origin stories. If you’ve read the comics, watched the movies, the early tv series and basically scoured the internet for more information about the wounded and caped hero, you’re extremely excited about the upcoming ‘Gotham‘ TV series, and it’s series order. I know I’m not alone here in my excitement.
HBO Will Adapt ‘A Teacher’ With The Duplass Bros.!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 10th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
HBO has picked up the rights to Hannah Fidell’s feature film ‘A Teacher‘, which was a big hit at Sundance last year. The film will be adapted into a series with Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass, and Michael Costigan exec-producing. Fidell is set to direct the pilot at least with Daniel Broklehurst serving as producer. Broklehurst was the showrunner of the UK version of ‘Shameless‘.
‘The Walking Dead’ Season 4 Recap – Episode 9 ‘After’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 10th, 2014Misty S., Here…
Hello Walking Dead fans!!! Now that the hiatus is over and Season 4 has begun, we can now see how everyone has dealt with the fall of the prison and the loss of their friends. This episode focuses on Rick and Carl and Michonne. All three of them are physically and emotionally spent and the entire episode revolves around them coping with their own feelings towards everything. The last scene of all three reuniting shows the tiny bit of light and happiness in the zombie apocalypse.
Film Review: ‘Gloria’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 7th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
Chilean director Sebastian Lelio’s film, ‘Gloria‘ is the poster child for how to make a great romantic comedy. Sure, there are many of these types of movies that have come before it, but none have their main character pushing 60, and none have been executed this well. As we’ve seen over and over again with the rom-com genre, things can get a bit cliched, silly, and just downright dumb.

Best Movie Trailers of All-Time!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 7th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
Here we are with the 23rd episodes of The Multi-Media Men. As usual, we start out with a list of some sorts. This week we discussed the best movie trailers of all time. Well at least in our opinion. After discussing this, I had to go and watch the trailers we talked about, and man, are there some great ones. Be sure to check out our FACEBOOK page, as we have posted some of the trailers on there. Enjoy the show.
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg Are Bringing Us ‘Preacher’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 6th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
It’s official. after a decade or more of trying to get into a movie theater or on a network, Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s comic book series ‘Preacher‘ has received the green-light. The project will be written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg with Sam Catlin (‘Breaking Bad‘) as executive producer and show-runner. ‘Preacher‘ will be on AMC.
Heard About ‘Stage Fright’, The Horror Musical!?!?
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 6th, 2014Jana B. here,
Genre-bending features are not a really new thing. When they’re done right though, we stand up and cheer. Remember ‘Zombieland‘, a grisly zombie flick that made us scream – with laughter? ‘The Cabin in the Woods‘, ‘Shaun of the Dead‘, ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show‘? If the movie can be categorized by more than one descriptor, it’s a genre-bender. ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ for example can go into Sci-Fi, Comedy, Musical and Horror categories. After all that explanation, I can tell you that I am excited for the release of the horror comedy musical, ‘Stage Fright‘.
DMZ heads to SyFy!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Feb 6th, 2014Jana B. here,
SyFy is cashing in on the popularity of comic book adaptations for small screen with a DC comic book, ‘DMZ‘. In a huge deal at Warner Bros TV, two of ‘Mad Men’s producers Andre‘ and Marie Jacquemetton are hitching their wagon to another producer, David Heyman of ‘Gravity‘ and ‘Harry Potter‘ fame. The Jacquemetton’s, a husband and wife team, will write the series. They began with ‘Mad Men’ right after the pilot was picked up. The two have shared in three of the series’ four best series Emmys and earned three writing Emmy Nominations on their own.
Film Review: ‘Monuments Men’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 5th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
George Clooney has had an amazing track record of films he has been in and directed. From ‘Good Night and Good Luck’ to ‘From Dusk Till Dawn‘, the brilliant man seems to know what he is doing. Clooney is also no stranger to war movies, as he has been involved in several different war films, but he has yet to direct one up until now with ‘Monuments Men‘. Sure, you can argue that ‘Monuments Men’ isn’t a “war film”, but rather more of an art heist movie, but I would argue against that.
Film Review: ‘Lego Movie’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 5th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here….
In the past, we’ve seen video games and board games adapted into movies for the big screen. More often than not, these adaptations are usually panned by critics everywhere and let down the fans. Or the film is decent enough for a ‘one-time’ watch, then is completely forgotten. You can say the above about ‘Battleship‘, ‘Street Fighter‘, or ‘House of the Dead‘. ‘Clue‘ might be the only board game adaptation to sustain any sort of fan following, and actually has received a lot of positive remarks since it came out 1985.
Emma Watson Set To Star in ‘Regression’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 5th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
Director/Composer Alejandro Amenabar (‘The Others‘) has cast Emma Watson (‘Harry Potter‘) along with Ethan Hawke (‘Training Day‘) in a new thriller called ‘Regression‘. Not much is known about the plot of the film yet, but with these two amazing actors, I would imagine something very suspenseful and full of thrills.
Watch This Excellent Clip of Bill Murray in Wes Anderson’s ‘Grand Budapest Hotel’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 5th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
We don’t have to wait to much longer for Wes Anderson’s (‘The Royal Tenenbaums‘) new film, ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel, as it will release in the theaters on March 7th. We’ve seen the trailers, but now we have an official clip of Bill Murray, an Anderson regular, doing what he does best in this new film. This looks quite hilarious and I can’t wait to see it. Enjoy the clip below.
Nic Cage Eyeing Revenge Flick, ‘Men With No Fear’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Feb 5th, 2014Hi, Bryan Here…
The man who is the best at freaking out, Nicolas Cage, is in negotiations to star in ‘Men With No Fear‘, which is a revenge flick from Paco Cabezas (‘Neon Flesh‘). Bryan Singer (‘X-Men‘ and ‘The Usual Suspects‘) is producing the flick. The movie is written by Cabezas and centers around a man named Marty ‘The Mule’ (Cage), who is just released from prison after being set up but his former boss named Frank, a local small-time crook. While Marty was locked away in a prison cell, Frank became a big and wealthy drug kingpin who would kill anyone in his way. Frank also took Marty’s young son, and raised him as his own. Now Marty is a free man and hell-bent on revenge.

Elton John and his company Rocket Pictures have acquired the rights to the hit play ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat‘ from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.

Bryan Reviews 'Dead Alive'!!! (A Blu-Ray Review)
