Forbidden Planet
Latino Review reports here the 2010 prequel's plot and follow-up trilogy plans for the J. Michael Straczynski remake.
The Spirit
As the Christmas Day release gets closer there is much rumble going on about the film. Frank Miller said here to Superhero Hype: "It's Tex Avery when it comes to the Octopus fighting The Spirit, which always was. I mean, their fights were preposterous. They took more punishment than any human could possibly take. The rest of the movie is a romance, and I mean a romance in the old terms, which is when adventure and romance were one thing, like in 'Robin Hood' or 'Zorro.' I felt that Eisner's work was specifically designed for adults, not for children, and wanted to bring the real life adult motive of the Sand Serif story." Actor Dan Lauria told Mania.com over here: "I'm a thief. I mean, whenever I do anything I rob from an old actor that nobody remembers. So, I told Frank the last play I did I was doing Richard Conte. Nobody knew who he was. So he said, 'Who are you doing in this movie?' And I said, 'Ah, you wouldn't know him' and he said, 'No, try me out.' and I says 'Bart MacLane.' He listed every Bart MacLane movie. I couldn't do one bit without him telling me what movie I'd stolen from."
