Hmmm. Sounds interesting.

 

I am potentially the only one who cares, but Disney and LEGO are teaming up for

 

Toy Story

Cars

and

Prince of Persia.

 

Its said to be for LEGO and Duplo, so I imagine POP will be LEGO and the other two Duplo, but hopefully they might be both. LEGO Toy Story sounds kinda cool.

 

Just found a more in depth press release.

 

Cars = Duplo

POP = LEGO System

Toy Story = Both.

 

 

YAAAAYYYY!!! Toy Story LEGO. Awesome.

In "the ghost of rumors past" news, Moviehole is floating the name of the "How I Met Your Mother" actor Neil Patrick Harris as being ready to suit up in the crimson spandex, being considered alongside the afore-rumored Scott Porter.

 

CBR.

 

It should be Michael Rosenblum.

'The Fugitive' to get remake treatment

 

Warner Bros is planning a remake of its 1993 Harrison Ford hit The Fugitive.

 

The movie focused on Dr. Richard Kimble as he fled from Tommy Lee Jones's federal agent while attempting to prove that he didn't murder his wife. It grossed more than $360 million at the worldwide box office and spawned a sequel, US Marshals.

 

No director, star or writer is attached to the project as yet since the studio is in the early stages of development, according to Production Weekly.

 

The Fugitive was itself based on a '60s TV series. The property was revived again in 2000 for a short-lived show with Tim Daly taking on the role of Kimble.

Wow, Slumdog Millionaires been hugely over awarded at the Oscars.

 

Have the results been announced? I hope that teenager from Slumdog doesn't get an Oscar - he was rather wooden, especially compared to the younger hims.

 

I've still got a few more films to watch , but so far my choice is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Slumdog Millionaire is a good film I just I don't think it should have won the Oscar. I cannot judge properly yet as I haven't seen Milk or the Wrestler but it just doesn't feel it stands up to say No Country for Oldmen of last year.

 

Also Wall-e was robbed. :p Surely it should have won some type of sound award? at least it won best animated film. :yay:

100000million% agree, he was shit. Well he wasn't shit, it just wasn't any kind of outstanding performance in the slightest. It was literally the textbook definition of ;

 

"What did you think of this guys performance"

*Shrug*

 

He didn't win though,....the winnar was...

Sean Penn for Cream.

 

As Coolbeanz said above....LULZ

Pretty good results I felt. I haven't seen Slumdog, but that's just me not being too interested. I probs will eventually.

 

I do find TDK winning Sound Editing ridiculous though, being one of the few films that noticeably needed better sound editing last year...

 

Good on Kate Winslet, Heath Ledger etc.
