…And Yes, Hugh Jackman IS Going to Ride “Carousel”
At The Movies - Film News and Reviews —
“I told you I could get a film of ‘Carousel’ greenlit.
This is freakin’ hilarious. So yesterday I wrote this post about Hugh Jackman signing up to star in “Ghostopolis” and I wanted to make the point that Jackman is so hot right now he can do pretty much anything he wants. Since he’s such a musical theater junkie, I thought I’d illustrate my point by saying, “He could get a film version of [insert musical title] made!” To choose the appropriate musical example, I tried to think of shows with really traditional scores, that have little appeal for contemporary ...

Wolverine sequel under way

... began. He's been saying he's in for the long run with this character and that the samurai story line was one of the ones he really wanted to see made, it's just they realised it didn't quite work as the first film. So it looks like it'll be the second as Variety has the story of the pre-production work beginning on the sequel.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. God knows I'm not the most observant person in the world, but is it just more is this story on Hugh Jackman at Variety holding a giant nugget of news? Sure, Wolverine made bank. We knew they were going to continue making X-films, but I wasn't aware that Fox was going to focus only on Wolvie and not develop further X-Men flicks. Those who saw X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE probably noticed the bit with Logan at a bar in Japan after the credits (I didn't get the Deadpool ending at my theater). I wrote that scene off as a nod to the movie they should have made, but that article I linked above seems to indicate that ...

Lawyers for Woody Allen are asking a Manhattan judge to stop his former companion Mia Farrow from testifying at the upcoming trial in which he is trying to get $10 million compensation from a garment company that used an image of him in its advertising. Lawyers for American Apparel have said they intend to show that their campaign could have had little negative effect on Mr. Allen’s reputation because his reputaton was already bad. Mr. Allen and Ms. Farrow split up in 1992 after Mr. Allen made public his relationship with one of Ms. Farrow’s adopted daughters, Soon-Yi Previn. Jury selection in the civil trial is set for May 18. Ron Howard was on the red ...

Both of the “secret” endings to X-Men Origins: Wolverine will get their own films, so SPOILERS abound, let’s look at ‘em:
This scene shows Wolverine drinking shots at a bar in Japan, claiming he’s “drinking to remember” but he probably won’t be drining for long, as he’ll most likely get the shit kicked out of him by some samurai who will hopefully teach him not to be such a plot-less crazy soldier. That’s right, I want the new Wolverine film to be about Wolverine. Jackman, help me ...

Jackman in The Bodyguard remake?
Filmstalker —
HughJackman.jpg It's amazing to imagine that there's going to be a remake of The Bodyguard, but apparently there is, even if the original sources were the rumour filled sites, there was still quite a trend to suggest that it was actually happening. However it looks like it's just come true, and more than that the man at the helm of the film is a huge surprise. Titled Personal Security, the film will follow the same lines as The Bodyguard starring Kevin Costner and the once great Whitney Houston. So who's going to replace the great Kevin Costner ...
