Paj! Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 i will never forgive WB for turning down Burton's Batman III What was the premise? Is there a link to it somewhere? I know Tim Burton served as deputy producer or something on Batman Forever, which is probably why it's better than Batman and Robin (which he had no involvement in).

or else you will DIE Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) What was the premise? Is there a link to it somewhere? I know Tim Burton served as deputy producer or something on Batman Forever, which is probably why it's better than Batman and Robin (which he had no involvement in). hmm maybe i shouldnt have said "turning down". i think the legend goes, Tim brought a few ideas to the table at WB, and even though Batman Returns was a success, they wanted the next movie to be more mainstream. so Tim basically decided to be the producer and just work on his other movies instead. I think not having Tim direct was one of the main reasons for Michael to leave too (the other being that he was not happy with the story). Apparently, his original ideas were for Robin Williams to be The Riddler, and Billy Dee Williams (the original Harvey Dent in the first movie) to become Two-Face. Marlan Wayans would have played Robin (he was originally going to be robin in returns, but wasn't. he apparently still gets paid today for signing the contract though). I also read online that Riddler was suppose to have a "?" shaven on his head or something, and Two Face's scarred side was suppose to be grey. I'm not sure if there is any truth in that though.

Paj! Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Ew ew ew at Marlan Wayans as Robin...no thanks. I do think they should have kept the orignal Harvey Dent though...changing him made little sense except to be more comic-accurate, despite the character already being in the film series...

or else you will DIE Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 yeah, billy dee said himself that he REALLY wanted to play the role of two face, and it was one of the reasons he signed up for the role of harvey dent in the original well whaya know, you can find all known info here http://batman.wikia.com/wiki/Batman_3_%28Burton%27s_proposed_film%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/104/1044992p1.html Independence Day 2 & 3? UK, November 13, 2009 - Are you ready for Independence Day: The Trilogy? You just might have to be, with Roland Emmerich, who directed the original as well as apocalyptic blockbuster 2012 (out this week), talking up the prospect of two ID4 sequels in an interview with MTV News. He said: "What we want to do in the next - it's actually two movies - we want to do a bigger arc. Independence Day was always like the king who leads his troops into battle against an evil force, and that stays like that." Emmerich even suggested a title: "ID4-ever, Part I and II maybe?" (we're not sure if that's a joke). He didn't go into too many plot details, but said the story would follow on from the first movie. "There's an idea... the idea is just to continue the story and actually I don't know how many years ago this was - twelve, thirteen, fourteen years ago - and just continue where it ended." He also said the action would stay firmly routed on this planet and not branch out into space. "It's always about earth and that earth gets invaded," the director said. Since when was it called ID4?Anyways, whilst it may not go to any other planets I expect there will be quite a bit of Mothership action! http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/104/1044889p1.html Rambo V Course Correction Stallone says the sequel's story has changed. US, November 12, 2009 - It looks like Rambo won't be going on a savage hunt after all. StalloneZone heard from John Rambo himself, Sylvester Stallone, who advised the site that the previously reported plot for Rambo 5 -- which was being sold as recently as this week's American Film Market as Rambo V: The Savage Hunt -- has been tossed out. Savage Hunt would have seen Rambo partnering with a Special Forces team to hunt down a genetically-engineered man-beast in the Arctic. Yep, you read that right. But fear not, fanboys. Stallone told his fan site that "Rambo has changed course and the story about hunting the man/beast will be done using another character in the lead. Rambo himself will be heading over the border to a violent city where many young women have vanished. There will be blood." Now that's more like it! WOW that original premise was a crazy one!Don't really see the need for Rambo V. Rambo IV was good enough for what it was, but it felt pretty empty and almost like an updated Rambo II or something. Still the Rambo films are what they are, so I guess he could close the farm up and don the bandana as many times as he likes really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Since when was it called ID4? It does have it dotted about on the packaging. On the video with that weird motion thingy [never know what they're called] it says ID4 on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Idris Elba has joined the cast of "Thor," Marvel Studios' film centering on the Norse god of thunder.Kenneth Branagh is directing the adaptation of the Marvel comic. Chris Hemsworth will star as Thor; Tom Hiddleston will play Loki, and Natalie Portman is the love interest, Jane Foster. Elba will play Heimdall, who, as the guardian of Asgard, stands on the BiFrost Bridge ready to defend the city from intruders. Elba, who had a recurring role on "The Office," most recently appeared on the big screen in "Obsessed" opposite Beyonce Knowles. He next appears in the heist thriller "Taken" and will have a turn in Dark Castle's DC Comics adaptation "The Losers." http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091120/film_nm/us_elba Bit off a odd choice, having a black man play a Norse god. Not gonna get too bothered by it, from what I have seen he is a good actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) Its a shame Zachery Levi had to back out (although for good reasons, Chuck got more episodes ordered). Apparently they offered him the titular role (he was meant to be playing a smaller role instead before he had to drop out) but he said no because he hasn't got the build for it.

Mundi Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Really? Not the build? He would not be the only lacking that in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) US Box Office Results - 1. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON $72,700,000 This shatters both previous All-Time Friday and Single Day records of $67 million set by 2008's The Dark Knight. So Batman was beaten by the Twilight sequel's vampires and werewolves which won't sit well with the superhero-loyal moviegoing community. But Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight Saga" novels -- New Moon is the second in the series -- are now proving as much of a phenomenon as comic books for source material at the box office. Friday's total included New Moon's $26.27M in 12:01AM screenings from 3,514 theaters. That set a new midnight opening record, smashing The Dark Knight's $18.4M set on July 18, 2008, and Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince's $22.2M set on July 15, 2009.
