Harrison Ford has entered into talks to join director Ridley Scott’s ‘Blade Runner’ sequel, Collider is reporting. However, it’s unknown whether he’ll reprise his role of Rick Deckard from the original film in a cameo role or as a main character, or play a different character. The news comes after Ford initially said he “wouldn’t feel bad if I were not invited to the party.” Andrew Kosgrove, the president of Alcon Entertainment, which is developing the sequel, also said “If you’re asking me will this movie have anything to do with (Harrison) Ford, the answer is no.” Scott added that there was no chance Ford would reprise his role in…

Could February go two for two? (For wide releases, at least.) After a solid performance from both Chronicle and The Woman in Black it’s up to Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, Safe House, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace and The Vow to keep it up. Journey 2 is getting the widest release and even though it’s going up against a nice assortment of competition, there’s no reason to think it can’t pull a Percy Jackson and still post a big number. Will it make $31 million? Probably not, but it could match its predecessor’s $21 million opening weekend haul. Thanks to Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds, Safe…

“Short Circuit” is a film that is an artifact of the 1980s. For people that grew up in the ’80s, the film is a childhood favorite, and Dimension Films is aiming at making it a classic for the kids growing up in the 21st century as well. The original “Short Circuit” film was risque at times, and this remake aims at being less so. For Dimension Films, this remake is going to be the beginning of a new series of films. According to the press release, Bob Weinstein said he is looking forward to “Short Circuit” to be their “next family franchise.” According to Slash Film, Dimension Films wants to…

While everyone is looking forward to the final installment of Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” series, “The Dark Knight Rises,” one thing people will not be looking forward to is a world in which Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” universe will no longer be explored. With the prospect for Batman being rebooted almost immediately after “The Dark Knight Rises” (supposedly in 2014), it will be tough for anyone else to bring anything new to the franchise, at least in my book. To get everyone ready for the inevitable remakes, The L.A. Times’ Hero Complex has partnered with graphic artist Sean Hartter to create posters for 15 “what if” reboots for the “Batman” franchise. My…

According to CinemaBlend, Paul Giamatti suggested to IFC during the Sundance Film Festival that the film adaptation of Eric Powell’s comic “The Goon” might not be getting made due to the lack of funds. “I have no idea what the hell happened,” he said in the interview. “I asked and no one knows. I guess they just ran out of money.” However, CinemaBlend has posted an update on “The Goon,” and it appears that Giamatti put his foot in his mouth. According to the update, Powell went to his website to tell the truth about the fate of the movie. According to Powell, the film is still in development and…

The last “Hangover” film didn’t get a great critical review–in fact, it was all but panned by critics. Usually, the general audience can give a film a bit of a pass, but audiences hated this film, too. So why is another “Hangover” getting made? Probably because of huge box-office returns. That can only be the reason why another installment is being made. Due to the fact that “The Hangover” franchise is a big money maker, the stars of the film–Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis–are vying for more money for their time and energy. According to Slash Film, the actors are wanting $15 million each. The article sites The…
