I Am Link

.
--- Come With Me If You Want To Live - Rumor is that the fifth Terminator movie is going to be about John Connor having to travel back in time to save his mother when she was young from one of those dastardly naked-traveling killer robots - the names being bandied about for the parts (Garett Hedlund or Boyd Holbrook for the son, and Emilia Clarke or Brie Larson or Margot Robbie for the mother) point to an epic weird feeling - we're gonna have two pretty people of about the same age sharing the screen. They're gonna have to work hard to manage the chemistry, because this could go all sorts of Savage Grace.

--- Super Somethings - I'm sure people with more comic book knowledge will be talking the hell out of the news today that Netflix is teaming up with Marvel to make four series based on their comic book characters - Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist. I've got some looking up to do, figure out who half those folks are. (The latter half.)

--- Officer Unfriendly - They had me sold with "Taylor Kitsch playing a sadistic cop" but it's good to know that this movie Exit 147 will be directed by the director of Red Riding: 1974, which was my favorite portion of that trilogy. (And no not just because it had naked Andrew Garfield in it, though obviously, didn't hurt.) Anyway I hope they cast some hot younger actor against Kitsch for him to torment and really gay that shit up, that's what I hope. Who should it be? I'm picturing a Logan Lerman type. (You know I am.)

--- Gun Crazy - I'm guessing that the troubled Natalie Portman western Jane Got a Gun has finished shooting with director Gavin O'Connor by now, and that's why the producers can finally feel free to sue the shit out of canned directress Lynne Ramsey. And are they ever! Let the public allegations of drunkenness and gun-wielding commence.

--- Bird Man - James Badge Dale's been around for a long time but we've only had our eye on him since he smacked Michael Fassbender's ass in Shame (that'll do it); well now he's landed a pretty hefty prestige role in David Mamet's new movie called Blackbird opposite Cate Blanchett. I am pretty over Mamet thanks to his right-wing-crazies though, so we'll see.

--- Devil's Army - The Rock has just taken the lead in Seal Team 666, and oh my god I love love love that ridiculous title. It is about you guessed it Navy SEALs fighting demons and devil cults and junk. I'm picturing Aliens but with pentagrams. And I like what I am picturing a whole bunch.

--- And Speaking of satanic cults (I don;t get to say that often enough) Alejandro Amenabar, the director of Open Your Eyes and The Others, is making something called Regression his next movie - it's about a dude who gets accused of molesting a little kid and can't remember anyhting about what happened, and somehow cults are involved. All of that sounds great... but the fact that it will star Ethan Hawke is depressing.

--- Bad Beard - The new green-band trailer for Spike Lee's Oldboy is here and it's totally Sharlto Copley ass free, so we don't really care. Come back to me when you've got ass, movie! Oh there are a few new pics here from the movie too, including that shot of Sharlto to the right, which is just silly. Silly! That is a silly look. Take off your clothes and distract me from your silly silly beard, Sharlto.
