It’s bad enough that Grimlock and the Dinobots won’t be in “Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen”, but now it seems like nearly every Decepticon in the Transformers movie franchise is a freaking jet. Need proof? Empire Magazine has new pictures of the toys for Transformers 2. They include Bumblebee, who we’ve seen before, and new images of the Decepticon formerly known as a ghetto blaster, Soundwave. Could Michael Bay have not made one of the coolest Transformers ever into an iPod at least? [Ain’t It Cool News]
Bay wants the battle to extend beyond Cybertron and into Skynet territory, as he stated on his online message board that he is hip to a Transformers and Terminator cross-over film. “I would love to see my robots take on Terminators.” stated Bay. Yeah, well, you also wanted to see dogs urinate on Autobots. Don’t push your luck. [/film]
The DC Comics movie purge continues as Dan Mazeau has supposedly been assigned by Warner Bros.to pen the script for The Flash. Mazeau is the screenwriter for the in-development “Johnny Quest.” Let the Ryan Reynolds rumors begin. [IESB]
The way some people have slammed his forthcoming film, this new “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” poster image might come with the caption, “Hugh Jackman wants critics to read between the lines.”
Robert Rodriguez’s name is being attached to “Nerveracker,”though the mystery behind why people are so secretive about the film is perhaps the real reason to be excited. [/film]
And the controversy behind “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” continues as it heads to DVD. The God-forsaken retail chain Wal-Mart asked director Kevin Smith to remove the “P word” from the title, so as not to offend customers. Smith agreed to the request. We can’t wait for some unsuspecting customer to buy “Zack and Miri: BFFs” before heading home to witness the scatologically filled romantic comedy. There’s something that warms our heart about Wal-Mart being shit on. [Cinematical]
