Bollywood film "Singh is Kinng" is already a hit in India and is expected to do well in USA too. Star Akshay Kumar will help that.

definite possibility, but I always am timid about sequels that weren't planned from the get go... may struggle to find a good arc
FilmBuzz
:
Katzenberg (Dreakworks CEO) reports they're exploring a Kung Fu Panda sequel. Makes sense to me.
FilmBuzz
:
"Madagascar 2" preview is darn amusing, but it hasn't made it into the theater yet and Katzenberg is talking about
#3

What's funny is to realize that Dafoe has now starred as both Christ and, presumably, the Anti-Christ. What's next for him? :-)
FilmBuzz
:
Italian director Gabriele Muccino (Will Smith's pal) to direct "What I Know About Love", touted as Kramer vs. Kramer remake. Hmmmm...

@FilmBuzz
awesome, at least willam won't need a lot of makeup to star as Antichrist.
FilmBuzz
:
Brett Ratner [X:Men Last Stand, Rush Hour 3] hired to produce a remake of horror film "Mother's Day", Bousman possibly to direct.
FilmBuzz
:
Lionsgate's hired Dirk Blackman and Howard McCain to rewrite "Conan the Barbarian" script. Nowhere near filming, already it's bad material
FilmBuzz
:
Willem Dafoe will star in "Antichrist", co-starring Charlotte Gainsbourg, directed by Lars von Trier. Not on my short list.
FilmBuzz
:
Robert Jordan's bestselling series "The Wheel of Time" film rights bought by Universal for undisclosed seven figure deal. Nice.
FilmBuzz
:
George Clooney has bought film rights to "The Challenge", legal thriller by Mahler about Osama bin Laden's driver's trial.
FilmBuzz
:
Warner downsizes and new Ed Norton/Colin Farrell film "Pride and Glory" is up for grabs by other distributor. No interest so far...
FilmBuzz
:
New tagline for FilmBuzz: Film News for the Mobile Generation. Like? Dislike?
FilmBuzz
:
No-one knows who sings "A Whale of a Tale" in "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea"? Wow, let's let it sit tomorrow and see... :-)
FilmBuzz
:
"... the girls I lost, on a night like this, with the moon above, a whale of a tale and it's all true, I swear by my tattoo." Who sung it??
FilmBuzz
:
Aw, jeez, I want to go to bed early and TCM's about to start "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", a fave of mine. <sigh>
FilmBuzz
:
Speaking of B&W films, a film that takes on MUCH more depth as you learn more about history (WWII) is "Casablanca". Surprisingly complex...
FilmBuzz
:
Kind of like the brilliant "Citizen Kane". In many ways it's not very accessible the first time you watch it...
FilmBuzz
:
Everyone can act, and those that act can direct, right? Natalie Portman's directorial debut, "Eve", to open Venice Film Festival.
FilmBuzz
:
TV news: Hawaii Five-O being relaunched on the CBS network, but no-one can replace Jack Lord in my mind. :-)
FilmBuzz
:
Action thriller about a colony of werewolves in Brazil? We're talking about Stone Village's upcoming "Lobo". Ezna Sands to direct.
FilmBuzz
:
Fox movies is not doing well this year. First time in a decade they haven't had a $100mil blockbuster by August. Dire times for studio?
FilmBuzz
:
Oh good. J.J. Abrams teaming up with "Omen" screenwriter David Seltzer to pen an earthquake-themed disaster movie, as yet untitled.
FilmBuzz
:
@lacajag
still better than Ed Norton as The Hulk. Just not brawny enough to be believeable, imo.
FilmBuzz
:
Weird casting rumor: Billy Bob Thorton will replace Robert Englund as star in remake of "Nightmare on Elm Street" ?
FilmBuzz

@hughdickson
Yes, "Rising Sun" was a Michael Crichton book (not his best) with big theme of Japanese/US business, and Connery made it work.
FilmBuzz
:
Hurray for diversity: Capacity Pics readying "Curve" female-led thriller, and has writer Kimberly Johnson working on another in same genre

@FilmBuzz
Ooohh Rising Sun, that was a cool film - with Sean Connery I seem to remember!? Parts were about ettiquette in Japanese business?
FilmBuzz

@a2armory
Btw, "conveying the feeling" would have worked better with Cube if they had decent dialog and good actors. :-)

@jodyreale
I loved that Snipes did "To Wong Fu" and stepped out of character, but didn't find the film particularly good...

@FilmBuzz
I hear that but sometimes it's about conveying a feeling rather than a specific point, if it's done well I can get into that
FilmBuzz
:
Today's discussion topic: what good films has Wesley Snipes been in? My list: Blade, Art of War, Murder at 1600, Rising Sun.

@a2armory
ended up like a horror version of "Bus Stop" or "Lifeboat": you're all stuck together facing tough odds. Now what? Unsatisfying.
