The Untouchables Prequel – In need of a young Capone

I realize the irony given what I said in my previous post, but if there's ever a follow-up to a film I'm rather excited about, it'd be The Untouchables: Capone Rising.

  I was checking my email and there it was on the Yahoo main page that Russell Crowe is in talks to do a remake with Paul Haggis. I couldn't help thinking, yet another remake? Which is a strange coincidence the fact that my hubby just quipped last night how Hollywood is filled with oodles …

Guy Ritchie and his British Bromances

If you haven't seen the 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad, or Pinneaple Express, then the term 'Bromance' probably just flew past you. Short for 'Brother' and 'Romance,' it essentially means close friendship between straight men or heterosexual 'man-crush.' Well, before Judd Apatow made it popular with the flix I mentioned above, frequently with his 'dream …

All the rumors swirling about a sequel/prequel of 300 just got a new boost now that director Zack Snyder told IGN at the Comic Con this weekend that he's basically just waiting for Frank Miller's draft of the comic.
