Terminator 4:

IGN recently spoke to James Middleton (consulting producer on TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES). When they asked him about T4, he dropped a bunch of info.

 

-Firstly, the film will be released by The Halcyon Company (who own the rights to the franchise.).

-It's being written by the same duo that brought us T3, Michael Ferris and John D. Brancato.

-Though there's no director assigned yet, apparently they are very close to putting someone in the chair.

-Instead of a nifty number in the title, this one will stick with just a subtitle. (ie TERMINATOR: RISE OF THE MACHINES as opposed to TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES.)

-The characters of John Connor and Kate Brewster are both in the script, yet Nick Stahl and Claire Danes are not attached.

-The script, although featuring both Connor and Brewster, will center on another character as the hero.

-This will be the first of a trilogoy, which will all be set in the post-apocalyptic world.

-The story will follow TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES and be set in the post-apocalyptic world.

-The film is looking at a 2009 release.

The Incredible Hulk:

 

Character roll call: Bruce Banner, Blonsky (crazed soldier turned Abomination), General Ross, Betty Ross, Dr. Samson (Betty’s live-in boyfriend), Dr. Sterns (a cellular biologist trying to help Bruce) and Major Kathleen ‘Kat’ Sparr (Ross’s right-hand woman).

 

In the opening sequence, we find a man (unknown to the reader but it’s presumably Bruce Banner) walking in snow, surrounded by snow. He slouches to his knees, gun in his hand, attempting suicide. The trigger is pulled but a flash of green stops the bullet flat and it falls to the ground.

 

Fast forward 5 years. Banner is in Brazil working at a bottling plant staying under the radar in hiding. Living a quite, invisible, life Banner is searching for exotic flowers that he believes will help destroy the gamma radiation in his blood to end the struggle he’s lived with for the past 5 years. He tries desperately to always remain calm through the use of mediation and a pulse monitor.

 

Banner has a funny little run in with some Brazilian heavies who are harassing a lady co-worker. Due to Banner’s poor handle on the Portuguese language his threats aren’t threats at all, they are actually funny lines that cause the heavies to pull a WTF? Luckily Bruce stays calm enough to make it through.

 

While working, Bruce is cut and a drop of his blood falls into one of the bottles that gets shipped out for sale. A woman in Minnesota drinks the juice and almost dies. The gamma is detected in her blood and this alerts the military, General Ross in particular and Cabot. They organize a team, headed up by Blonsky, to find where the drink was bottled and to apprehend a white man in the area.

 

The team finds Banner in bed, but he is smarter and quicker than they think and he leads them on a chase around town. Coincidentally the same heavies who had a run-in with Banner earlier are out drinking and join in the chase to beat Banner’s ass. It doesn’t take long for the Hulk to rear his ugly greenish grey head and basically crush everything and everyone (literally) in his path. He escapes to smash another day. Banner heads back to the States to find help through Dr. Sterns, striving to put right what once went wrong, within himself and with Betty.

 

Upon arriving in the States, Banner heads to his old stomping grounds, back to where it all began, to get his data and find Dr. Sterns. Instead, he finds Betty. He quickly leaves out the back door of a restaurant when she sees him, but she chases after him until he agrees to come over to her house to talk.

 

After talking with Betty and her live-in boyfriend Samson, Betty is driving Bruce to the bus station, on the way he wants to stop back at the university. Big mistake, the military and General Ross finds him and a big battle ensues. Betty is injured (Hulk saves her) and they finds themselves on the run together.

 

In the meantime, Blonsky was crushed by Hulk, but due to the super soldier wacky sauce he’s been shooting up he heals and is stronger than ever. Ross shoots him up a little more to make sure he’s strong enough for another round with Hulk.

 

They head to New York to find Dr. Sterns. He has developed an “anti-dote” of sorts for Bruce that works to bring him back to normal during a “flare up.” Unfortunately, Ross and his men catch up with them and Bruce and Betty are taken into custody. Blonsky has his own ulterior motives and makes Sterns shoot him up with the super gamma serum he’s developed from Bruce’s blood. This turns him into Abomination and he begins to destroy the city.

 

The only one who can stop him is Bruce…Ross agrees. Monster on Monster action ensues!

Dragonball: Live-Action

James Wong (Final Destination) will write and direct a live-action adaptation of Dragon Ball Z for 20th Century Fox. Based on the manga created by Akira Toriyama and the popular Japanese anime series, Dragon Ball Z tells the story of Goku, a martial arts master who defends the Earth from alien threats by enlisting the Seven Dragon Balls - artifacts of immense power which are the only way he can hope to defeat the alien menace, Picolo. The live action film is combining elements from all of the different visions of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z without being afraid to make significant changes.

 

 

 

Tintin:

Killing Pablo:

The Yari Film Group is fast-tracking the Pablo Escobar biopic Killing Pablo with Javier Bardem and Christian Bale attached to star. Bardem will play Escobar, while Bale is in talks to play Major Steve Jacoby, the Delta Force commander who led the hunt for Escobar. Escobar's rise as leader of a Colombian drug cartel began in the 1970s. After years of terrorizing police and political leaders, Escobar was targeted in 1992 by a coalition of Colombian police and military, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and the CIA. He was killed the following year. The project, based on the book by Mark Bowden, has been in development for nearly five years. Joe Carnahan is attached to direct.

Fast and the Furious 4:

Rumor has it that Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are in talks to reunite for the fourth installment of Universal's "Fast and the Furious" franchise. Justin Lin and Chris Morgan, who were behind The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, are returning to directing and writing duties, respectively. Neal Moritz will produce the as-yet-untitled installment along with Diesel, who will produce through his One Race Films. The storyline is being kept under wraps. A spring start is anticipated with shooting in Los Angeles, Mexico and the Dominican Republic..

 

 

 

Brothers:

Natalie Portman joins Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal in the love-triangle drama Brothers for director Jim Sheridan. The film is based on Susanne Bier's 2004 Danish-language film centering on a man (Maguire) who is sent to fight in Afghanistan while his black-sheep brother (Gyllenhaal) cares for his wife (Portman) and child.

 

 

 

Yes Man:

Bradley Cooper is set to join Jim Carrey in the pic playing the best friend of Carrey's character, who decides to change his life by saying yes to everything that comes his way. The film is actually expected to begin production this month from a script originally penned by David Iserson and then rewritten by Nicholas Stoller.

 

 

 

At the Mountains of Madness:

Guillermo Del Toro's (The Pan's Labyrinth) is prepping to finally shoot his highly anticipated adaptation to At the Mountains of Madness as his next project. Long acknowledged as a master of nightmarish visions, H. P. Lovecraft established the genuineness and dignity of his own pioneering fiction in 1931 with his quintessential work of supernatural horror, At the Mountains of Madness. The deliberately told and increasingly chilling recollection of an Antarctic expedition’s uncanny discoveries–and their encounter with untold menace in the ruins of a lost civilization–is a milestone of macabre literature.
