OCEAN'S 13
The second sequel to Ocean's Eleven will begin filming on 21 July, with
Ellen Barkin (right) co-starring alongside the regular gang of George Clooney, Brad
Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Casey Affleck, Scott
Caan, Eddie Jemison, Shaobo Qin, Carl Reiner and Elliott Gould.
Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones will not return, but director Stephen
Soderbergh is again in the hot seat. Ocean's Thirteen will debut in cinemas
in the summer of 2007 release.
REMO: THE DESTROYER
A guilty pleasure of mine back in the '80s was Remo Williams: The Adventure
Begins, starring Fred Ward as Remo - a policeman who is killed in action
actually revived to become part of a group known as Cure. Remo was then
taught martial arts and how to dodge bullets by Chuin. Oh, it also starred
Kate Mulgrew (Star Trek Voyager's Janeway!) Never heard of it?
Well, it looks like a very belated sequel is in the pipeline called Remo The
Destroyer. The Remo character actually derives from a novel by Warren Murphy
and Richard Sapir that was full of satire and hard-edge thrills. The first
movie was somewhat watered-down by the studio, but here's hoping the sequel
realls nails what the book set out to achieve...
THE SIMPSONS MOVIE
A leaked report suggests the plot for the 2007 Simpsons movie will involve
Homer's incompetence at the nuclear power station resulting in a containment
dome being placed over Springfield.
The movie being written by Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, Al Jean, Brian
Scully, Ian Maxtone-Graham, George Meyer, David Mirkin, Mike Reiss, Matt
Selman, John Swartzwelder and Jon Vitti. The director is David Silverman
(Monster's, Inc.), with guest voices from Albert Brooks, Minnie Driver and
Erin Brockovich!
SUPERMAN RETURNS
The new Superman movie will be released in IMAX theatres. No big deal there,
but there is once you're told 30 minutes of the film will be shown in 3-D!
