INDIANA JONES 4
The latest issue of PREMIERE has some interesting tidbits about the upcoming fourth film in the INDIANA JONES series.
The script is being written by Frank Darabont with the goal of beginning production in June 2004.
Spielberg admits that there will be CGI effects. While he is a fan of shooting the old-fashioned way, he wants to use digital to keep the aging actors safe and to “keep up with the Joneses, so to speak.”
It seems the desire to do the fourth film came from Harrison Ford himself, who found himself growing nostalgic for the character about three years ago.
George Lucas was feeling to old and crotchety to do a fourth film but was persuaded by the enthusiasm of Ford and Spielberg.
But perhaps more importantly, the original INDY trilogy is available on DVD on October 21st. Pre-order your copy todayl

Christian Bale is BATMAN
It’s official. In a press release, Warner Brothers announced today that Christian Bale will be playing BATMAN in the upcoming movie. “What I see in Christian is the ultimate embodiment of Bruce Wayne. He has exactly the balance of darkness and light that we were looking for,” said director Chris Nolan. The new BATMAN film will begin filming early next year.
PIRATES 2 is a go
Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that a Pirates of the Caribbean sequel is already in the works. Yes, we have Johnny Depp already lined up. We just made a deal with the writer who did the re-write of the first Pirates. Let’s hope we can do better than Bad Boys 2. It took me eight years to get that to the screen. We’ll make this much quicker,” said Bruckheimer. Source: Latino Review
BROWN BUNNY gets applause in Toronto
The film Roger Ebert called the worst ever to screen at the Cannes Film Festival actually earned applause at the Toronto Film Festival. A re-edited version if Vincent Gallo’s much re-viled The Brown Bunny screened to an appreciative audience when it screened Tuesday. This still didn’t stop Gallo from blazing out of town days ahead of schedule and leaving Chloe Sevigny to handle the bulk of the promotions for the film. Source: The Toronto Star
Wilson brothers team up for new project
Call me gay, but I love the Wilson brothers and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Bottle Rocket is one of my all-time favorite movies and each time I watch it I like it a little bit more. Now the Wilson brothers are both much bigger stars and they are using their clout to return to their quirky indie roots. They are currently shooting a new project in Austin entitled The Wendell Baker Story. The film focuses on an ex-con (Luke Wilson) who gets a job in a retirement home. He befriends three elderly residents who help him get his girlfriend back. He also helps the old coots in their battle with the corrupt head nurse(Owen Wilson). The film is co-written by Luke and Owen and will be co-directed by Luke and their older brother Andrew (Future man!). The make this even more of a family affair, their mom Laura Wilson is the still photographer for the film. Rounding out the cast are Harry Dean Stanton, Eva Mendes, Eddie Griffin, Will Ferrell, Kris Kristofferson and Seymour Cassel. Source: The Hollywood Reporter

MADMAN in Rodriguez’s future
Robert Rodriguez has long been associated with a film adaptation of the MADMAN comic book series. Zap2it reported yesterday that MADMAN is still being planned. “MADMAN is a really funny comic because you could kind of spoof comic book movies and do a really great one all at the same time,” said Rodriguez. But first up is a top-secret CGI project and probably a thriller. MADMAN should shoot sometime next year. Ginchy!
Wham-O sues DICKIE ROBERTS
Slip ‘N Slide makers Wham-O filed a lawsuit against DICKIE ROBERTS asking the judge to order the film out of theaters until the scene is cut. Wham-O would also settle for a disclaimer to be added to the film cautioning Slip ‘N Slide users against coating the slide with oil and crashing into a fence. By the time this lawsuit is settled, DICKIE ROBERTS will be long gone from theaters. Look for the disclaimer on the DVD (should you even choose to watch this movie). Source: Hollywood Reporter
Richard Linklater goes back to college
Richard Linklater (SLACKER, DAZED AND CONFUSED)is one of the most interesting directors working today. You may not always like his films, but he is definitely experimenting with some interesting things. Linklater recently annouced that his next film, as yet untitled, will be similar in style to DAZED AND CONFUSED and will be set at a Texas college in the 1980s. The film will revolved around the trials and tribulations of a freshman who arrives at the school to join the baseball team. Paramount Pictures and Alphaville will produce the project. His next film SCHOOL OF ROCK, which stars Jack Black opens October 3.
CONSTANTINE’S cast grows
As a long-time fan of the HELLBLAZER comic book, I’m not sure what to think about the upcoming CONSTANTINE starring Keanu Reeves. It would seem hard to pick a more inappropriate actor for the role. But I guess we’ll see. Tilda Swinton joined the cast a few weeks ago, and now Gavin (Bush) Rossdale and Djimon (Tomb Raider 2) Hounsou have joined the cast. Rossdale will be playing Balthazar (a bad guy) and Hounsou will be playing Papa Midnite (sometimes a bad guy).
CABIN FEVER clip
CABIN FEVER hits screens on Friday. Horror fans are foaming at the mouth over this one, so hopefully it will live up to the hype. If you need even more to build your enthusiasm about this flick, check out this exclusive clip at ign.
AMITYVILLE: The Remake
Yep, another horror re-make is in the pipeline. Emmett/Furla films, Barstu Productions and Integrated Films have announced plans to produce yet another film based on the Amityville legend. While THE AMITYVILLE HORROR is definitely a film that could be improved upon, the writer behind the project is Daniel Farrands who wrote 1995’s HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS and wrote and directed the TV movie AMITYVILLE 2000.
