Movie News

So if you didn't hear already, The Dark Knight is going to be re-released in January (just before Oscar season).

Why?

I'm assuming the studios want to:
a) earn more money
b) earn an Oscar nod for Heath Ledger's great performance

The movie was great but I don't think I'd spend more money to see it again in January. I think its over doing it a lil, don't you think?

Speaking of The Dark Knight, I really feel that Bruce Wayne/Batman played second fiddle in this film. The script was definitely written for the Joker. I have no problems with that, but I find it amusing nonetheless.

So they're making another one...who's gonna be the villain? I think if they're going with the more serious tones, it definitely can't be AHhhnold as Mr. Freeze again. the Joker and Two-Face were iconic Batman villains...as were the Penguin and Catwoman..but Penguin and Catwoman had their turn already, will they be reset too? I think doing the Penguin would be a great next step, I could see them making him a very sympathetic character in juxtaposition with the Joker who was just plain psychotic.

I heard they're also going to be making two more Spiderman movies. Whats with all the superhero movies?

I also heard that Watchmen might not make it out because two studios are fighting over who has rights to Watchmen...

They're also making two more Sin City's and possibly considering "restarting" Superman again (but after their box office disaster that is Superman Returns, I don't know if it'll be any time soon). They also have a Wolverine movie that has been half shot but it seems the directors and big wigs can't agree whether to make it a dark film or a light hearted film, so most likely it'll be pushed back as well.

They are also making the second (third??) Punisher movie coming out before Christmas - but I heard it sucks SO BAD that even the director is disgusted and refuses to promote the film. That bad huh?

Let's hope Max Payne doesn't take the same route. . . although it looks kind of cheesy from the trailers I've seen already.

Like I said I'll be so down for a Sailor Moon movie...so think about it, big wigs.
