I Am Link

.
--- America's Most Wanted - Turns out that picture of Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth that amused me so yesterday was actually from this AICN report from the set The Avengers, and there are a lot more great pictures to behold if you click over. I especially like the one where it seems as if Clark Gregg is just going to sit right down on Chris Evans' lap, because I can totally understand that temptation. There's also a wicked cool shot of Loki, and that attractive shot of Mr. Evans in his costume seen here.

--- The Fall Guy - The one classic slasher franchise from the 80s that Michael bay's shit-house production studio Platinum Dunes hadn't ruined yet was Halloween - Rob Zombie did all the ruining on his own, thank you very much - so the word that PD has their hands on the Halloween property for an all new reboot at first fills me with dread - will they find a way to stuff Michael Myers into underground tunnels like they did Jason Voorhees? - but if they can just make a damned straightforward movie out of it maybe I can cut them some slack. I don't have any reason to believe they will, but in theory I am fine with Mike getting rebooted, because Zombie got too caught up in backstory. Just drop the dude in a town full of babysitters and hit play.

--- Cold Cavill - There are some new pictures of Henry Cavill and Co. in his upcoming thriller The Cold Light of Day with Sigourney Weaver and Bruce Willis at this link. An excuse to look at Henry Cavill is always welcome, even if he does remain fully clothed throughout. Bonus Siggy with a gun!

--- Rear Projection - I haven't even watched this single shot edit of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window but I can already tell just from a single frame of it that I adore it, I adore it, I adore it. What a brilliant idea.

--- Unchained Melody - The first look at Christoph Waltz on the set of Quentin Tarantinto's Django Unchained is over at this site, and he looks promisingly dickish. I have to say it disheartens me to see the film is just shooting - I really was hoping he was secretly done with it and it would be out like next week, surprise! I know, that's not how QT works, he'll shoot a five hour movie and we won't see an edited version for like three years, but a boy can dream.

--- Alphabet Killers - The poster for The ABCs of Death, the anthology horror film where a different director takes on a letter of the alphabet and explores a death situation thereby related - say, A is for Asphyxiation, and so on - can be seen over at BD. I feel like it's almost there but need to be slightly slicker, maybe? I like the idea. Anyway there are several awesome directors doing shorts for this thing - Ti West and Ben "Kill List" Wheatley, for starters - so I'm psyched all the same.

"..even if he does remain fully clothed.."

And his face is messed up at that.
I mean, do the producers expect this to bring them money??

JA, please don't cut Michael Bay or his shitty Platinum Dunes any slack at all. Ever. EVER! Otherwise, rock on ~
