Reel Access

To continue my post on Wednesday about sequels and everything in between, official pictures of Shia LaBeouf and Michael Douglas in Money Never Sleeps aka Wall Street 2 have been posted on the Internet. Shia looks extremely cute in a gray suit and Michael looks stunning as well. So far I know about the synopsis of the sequel is that Shia is the fiance of Gordon Gekko's daughter who is played by a possible Oscar nominee, Carey Mulligan for An Education. I read on Fandango.com that Frank Langella, Josh Brolin, Susan Sarandon, and Charlie Sheen are starring in it as well. I hope that the sequel can deliver because the original was fantastic.

Unfortunately, The Simpsons will not be coming back to the silver screen for another awesome movie. I was pretty upset about that, but understands because the sequel would mean the ending of  the series completely.

Next on the sequel train or you would call it a whole new series is the Family Vacation movies. This time around we follow Rusty Griswald and his family. You may remember that Rusty was the son of Chevy Chase's iconic character Clark Griswald. It's funny this is coming up because I was talking to mom about the Family Vacation movies.

It's no surprise that Vemon is having it's own movie coming soon. Must I even write about this. LOL.

It looks like Quentin Tarantino might be turning his beloved Kill Bill series into a trilogy. I can not express the joy and excitement that I'm feeling right now. I mentioned in an older post about Kill Bill being one of my favorite Tarantino films. Tarantino explained according to The Associated Press  that he has plans, but is waiting for 15 years from now, he would do a third version of the series.

I seriously don't care how long I have to wait for the third movie to come out. As long as Tarantino plans on eventually making it, I'm all on board on spending my money to see it. Uma Thurman was awesome as " The Bride" and I know that both Uma and Quentin will produce a good action film. We are in a stage where remakes, comic books and adaptations are the new craze of what people want to see on film. I have discussed this before with friends. I mean currently now here in New York, director Oliver Stone is shooting part two to the well known film, Wall Street. I have heard mixed reviews about this since that movie is great. This will be further discussed if sequels of prominent and great movies should be made. In Tarnatino's case, HELL YES!!!!

Last week, Michael Bay posted on his blog that official release date for the third Transformers movie is July 1, 2011. For some reason it took me quite sometime to post on this because I wanted to gather my thoughts properly on it. I enjoyed the first movie, but I thought the second was okay. My anticipation for the second movie concluded on my disappointment on the whole thing. From the ending of the movie, a third was a definite obvious thing. I'm just curious what the screenplay for the movie is going to consist of.

I found myself confused with The Rise of the Fallen. A lot of people I knew was also confused and annoyed by every over the top action scenes. I do have to admit that Megan Fox was right about Michael Bay focusing more on the action and not the acting. I came to that conculsion before that statement Fox made, so I'm not the only one that feels that way. I am excited though about the movie and I get to see Optimus Prime. I do enjoy Michael Bay's films and I'm praying that this one works out quite well.

Disney Pictures and Pixar are a force to reckon with when they collaborate on movies. They have produced the best cartoon movies ever. Monsters Inc, The Incredibles and of course my favorite Toy Story!!! I was so happy to know that not only was Toy Story 2 was in theatres again, but it's in 3D. I have not seen it yet in theatres and I will definitely make the trip sometime this week to go and see it.

It landed at number 3 on this week's box office list, which it was not a big surprise to me because Toy Story was a box office hit when it originially was in theatres in 1995. I heard that there is going to be a third Toy Story movie, which I can't wait for it be released. I'm just dying to know what Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz (Tim Allen) are up to. I'm also wondering who will voice Slinky since Jim Varney passed away in 2000. I hope it is someone who can voice the part well because Varney truly did an amazing job voicing Slinky. We just have to wait and see on the development of this film.

As I mentioned last month that major changes will be in perspective of plans to build my blog and my career. As of tonight, I gladly accepted a business proposal from my friend Gus Garcia, who is building not only a website, but a podcast as well to all things entertainment and much more. I am excited and also lost for words because of the plans that will be put into motion quite soon. I am happy to be working with people that share the same desire and hunger of being an self made bosses. This is a committment that I am fully ready for and accept because this is what I want to do as a career. A lot of creative people are involved in this so there are no slackers part of the team. Gus told me that we already have a street team not only in New York, but in Florida as well. This is great news because the exposure is going to massive. I can feel it already!

Since I'm in a film writing class at Baruch College, my screenplays will be developed into real films, probably next year. We have a goal to be up and running by this month and have something real solid by the end of this year. Like I mentioned, there are no words to describe the feeling that I'm feeling now. My advice to people is that you can not wait for something that you want come to you, you need to get up and make it happen. That is something that all of us is doing now. This is not a game. This is our talent and lives involved in this. I will keep you posted on this developing business venture.

Thanks

Forgive me for being so late on reporting on Paramore's brand new album which was released on September 29. I also have written an review for Brand New Eyes for The Ticker, my college's newspaper. Paramore did a 360 turn from their Riot! album. It started out with their familiar punk rock edge, but in the middle the sound was mellow. Since the album was recorded in Nashville that could be a possible factor in the their new songs. I honestly love this album. My favorites songs, besides their first single, " Ignorance", I like " Misguided Ghosts'" and " The Only Exception." Those are the ones that I play over constantly. LOL. I feel that the album is going to be in a high position in the Billboard 200. I mean come on! They have some many Twilight fans who loved " Decode."

In general this album was good. Haley's vocals are still killer as ever especially in " All I Wanted."They kept it real, but added some cool things like acoustics in some songs. This totally just hit me as I'm writing this, but they remind me of No Doubt. They actually toured with No Doubt earlier this year so that is pretty ironic.  This is a sign that Paramore is going to be around for a very long time.

I didn't have time to post this up because I was so caught up in school assignments, but I read in the newspaper that Johnny Depp may not be returning as Capt. Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean's fourth movie. I was so shocked and upset because Johnny Depp IS Jack Sparrow. This is the role that put him back on the map and I would hate to see someone else playing his part. I rather not see Jack Sparrow in the movie than some other actor as Sparrow. The reason that Johnny Depp will not be returning is that he was not too thrilled that a fourth installment was in talks.

I do agree just like other people that the Pirates installments needs to be left alone. It would be nice to have another movie to follow up on the lives of the characters. If you remember in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) got married and had a child, but Will took his father's place on Capt. Davy Jones's ship (Bill Nighy). This is a topic that is definitely something I will keep on posting on. You can click on further info at my favorite links on the subject.
