Movie news round-up: Bond baddies, bin babies and begorrah!

Ali is away this weekend, so I've been tasked with trying to fill his spacious shoes - a job made nigh-on impossible thanks to nothing remotely interesting happening in the world of movies recently. At least it'll be difficult to get a knot in these velcro straps.

Looks like the snooze button has been pressed on the 24 movie, as scheduling conflicts and alleged salary disputes have brought a halt to Jack Bauer's big screen debut.
Shiz-fave Jurassic Park is getting the 3D treatment, with a July 2013 release date already on the cards. I love Jurassic Park, and the dreaded 3D post-conversion was always going to happen eventually - but so soon after the re-release? Still, I've never had a chance to watch it with a splitting headache and weird white specks spinning around on the screen before, so thanks for the opportunity!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has used his personal tumblr page thing to release the first images of himself in crime sci-fi Looper. In the film, Levitt plays a time-travelling hitman assigned to assassinate *dun dun dunnn* his future self. Although he doesn't know that yet shhh nobody ruin the surprise.




A TV spin-off of Mel Gibson's history-twisting Braveheart is allegedly in the early stages of development. With Rome, Spartacus and Game of Thrones all knocking about in recent years, I can't help but be reminded of the first 24 seconds of this:

Believe it or not, a real live group of human beings who don't have brain damage and are from this plane of existence thought The Garbage Pail Kids would be a good franchise to get the reboot treatment.
Alex 'Bill S. Preston Esq.' Winter has weighed in on the possibility of a Bill & Ted 3 in an interview with MTV:

Depressingly, Winter and his co-star Keanu Reeves only have about four years to make this happen before they'll both be in their fifties. The script and - more importantly - the soundtrack need to be so amazingly spot-on and not just a bunch of nods and winks to the earlier films, otherwise it'll be more embarrassing than an uncles-only barn dance.
USA Today have some new screenshots from Adam Sandler-voiced Hotel Transylvania. By some I mean two. See one below and the other one right about here.


Apparently something called Mandrake The Magician was a thing from the 1930s, and now Warner Bros. are making a movie out of it. One for our octogenarian demographic to get excited about.

Robert Rodriguez has announced at the SXSW festival that Sin City 2 will be shooting this Summer, and will be based on Frank Millers' 'A Dame To Kill For', as well as two other stories that are currently sitting unpublished.
And finally; Metro have some photos of Steve Coogan and Anna Friel looking a bit glum on the set of Michael Winterbottom's porn empire biopic The King Of Soho. Here is one. News!
