Hollywood Déjà Vu News: Aug. 31, 2009

rambo1Sequels
So much for Rambo being a relic of the Reagan era. Sylvester Stallone will hit the weight room again to get in muscle-rippling shape for Rambo 5, which he’ll also direct, per Variety. Seemingly picking up from where last year’s Rambo (right) left off, everyone’s favorite one-man killing machine will mow down all those who try to stop him from rescuing a girl kidnapped by human traffickers and drug lords near the U.S.-Mexico border. Nice to have Rambo back home causing mayhem after shooting up Thailand, Afghanistan, and Burma. No word yet whether Rambo 6 will pit our hero against the U.S. Social Security Administration in a bloody fight to secure greater retirement benefits.

Miami, brace yourself for the return of those Bad Boys. Eager to remain in the Will Smith business, Columbia Pictures has Peter Craig writing Bad Boys 3, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This comes hot on the heels of the studio announcing it was setting in motion Hancock 2 (see yesterday’s news update). Smith also has an I am Legend prequel in the works at Warner Bros. If Smith has any sense, he would walk away from all three sequels—at least until he really needs a big hit—and try to build upon his dramatic performances in The Pursuit of Happyness and Seven Pounds.

Michael Myers is dead. Long live Michael Myers. In the wake of Halloween II’s $17.4 million opening weekend, the Weinstein Co. is rushing into production a threequel that will be released in 3-D in the summer of 2010, according to the L.A. Times. Guess that’s what happens when you’re soundly beaten at the box office by another horror film that just so happens to be in 3-D, The Final Destination. Director Rob Zombie won’t return for Halloween 3D, presumably because he’s too busy with his Blob remake or he’s had enough of terrorizing Haddonfield. The Weinstein Co. is in talks with a director with a horror background. Whether Myers will return from the grave for Halloween 3D remains to be seen. FYI, this new Halloween won’t be the Weinstein Co.’s only 3-D fright fest in 2010: Piranha 3D swims into theaters April 16.

Oh, and just don’t expect to see Kate Beckinsale climb into her Underworld rubber catsuit and kick undead butt in 3-D. Not yet, at least. Screen Gems may have penciled in the 3-D Underworld 4 for a Jan. 11, 2011 release, but Beckinsale knows nothing about a proposed new vampires-vs.-Lycans trilogy or whether she intends to return as that sexy Death Dealer, Selene. “I think if they came up with an amazing script I wouldn’t be adverse to it,” Beckinsale tells Collider. “But it’s not planned or anything.” After the redundant Rise of the Lycans, please let Beckinsale be right. Somehow, though, I suspect the Underworld will continue without Beckinsale if Screen Gem can find another drop-dead gorgeous Death Dealer to squeeze into her catsuit.

ironman1Goodness knows what today’s announcement that Disney intends to spend $4 billion acquiring Marvel means in the grand scheme of things for my favorite comic-book heroes—please spare us a Marvel Team-Up featuring The Silver Surfer and Buzz Lightyear—but it won’t affect existing deals with the likes of Paramount, Fox and Sony, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That’s both good and bad news. Marvel has creative control over the five interconnected films Paramount will distribute—Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, Avengers, and Iron Man 3—while Sony can be trusted to develop three new Spider-Man sequels that’s worthy of the first trilogy. But Fox continues to mishandle its Marvel properties, from the unabashedly kid-friendly Fantastic Four to this summer’s disappointing X-Men Origins: Wolverine. How great it would be if the Disney deal means Marvel can eventually wrestle back control of the likes of Daredevil, Fantastic Four and X-Men from Fox and integrate them into the mythology it is attempting to establish with Iron Man, Avengers, etc. And as much as I would like to think Marvel could give us The Punisher we have desperately wanted after two failed attempts by Lionsgate, I don’t see that gun-toting harbinger of Frank Castle being at home at the House that Mickey Mouse Built.

Remakes
While Marvel continues to dominate at the movie theaters, rival D.C. needs to get its act together. And who better to get things rolling than… Swamp Thing? The busy Collider reports that producer Joel Silver is the latest to attempt to turn that big, stinky mass of vegetable matter into a household name. To one-up the two previous films from the 1980s and the 1990s TV series, Silver may go the 3-D route. Count us in if Silver offers a scratch-and-sniff card with every ticket purchased to Swamp Thing.

Sequelstransformersrevengeofthefallen1
Already panting at the prospect of Megan Fox (right) cracking a whip as Catwoman in the next Batman sequel? Sorry to pour cold water on you, but Ain’t It Cool News confirmed with Fox’s reps that she’s not discussed the role of the Dark Knight’s feline frenemy with director Christopher Nolan, which contradicts this story from The Sun.

Angelina Jolie, who would make a damn fine Catwoman, may return for Wanted 2. So what if her assassin bite the bullet in Wanted? Director Timur Tekmanbetov tells MTV he’s “found the reason for her [character] to come back.” With six mouths to feed, Jolie has even more reason to return for a sequel.

Brace yourself for xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. Invincible director Ericson Core replaces xXx’s Rob Cohen, who abandoned this threequel in June for Medieval, says The Hollywood Reporter. Vin Diesel crawls back to the franchise after sitting out State of the Union, and no doubt hopes for another Fast and Furious-type smash to put him back on top.

Susan Sarandon’s joined Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps as the mother of Shia LaBeouf’s trader. And, according to Variety, she gets the hots for Michael Douglas’ Gordon Gekko. Having just spent 20 years in prison, Gekko probably could use a little action. Still, I would have preferred a second Douglas-Glenn Close coupling.

Must Hancock soar again? Yes, and TV writers Adam Fierro (The Shield) and Glen Mazzara (Life) will write the sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Twilight’s vampires like to travel by cab. Death cab, that is. The first single from the New Moon will be Death Cab For Cutie’s “Meet Me On the Equinox.” The song will premiere Sept. 13 on MTV’s Web site during the VMAs, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Remakesgreenhornetcomiccon
We’re going to have to wait a little longer for Seth Rogen’s The Green Hornet. Originally scheduled to hit theaters July 7, 2010, this long-gestating film version of the classic TV show won’t start kicking butt until Dec. 17, 2010. The new release date “affords us more time” to finish the film, Rogen tells HitFix. Even after Sony Pictures added Nicolas Cage and Cameron Diaz to the cast, and finally settled on Jay Chou to replace Stephen Chow as Kato, I’m still surprised the studio didn’t kill off The Green Hornet after Rogen flopped big with both Observe and Report and Funny People. But now we’re going to have to wait until Christmas 2010 to find out whether Rogen’s casting as the masked crusader is a Michael Keaton-Batman smart decision.

The Brits turn out the best mob operas these days. Which makes the remake of the classic 1947 British gangster thriller Brighton Rock all the more intriguing. Plus, director Rowan Joffé—the son of The Killing Fields’s Rowan Joffé—intends to set his adaptation of Graham Greene’s novel in the Swinging Sixties. Control’s Sam Riley takes on the electrifying role of the small-time mobster that solidified Richard Attenborough’s stardom. Helen Mirren and Pete Postlethwaite will costar, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In Blob we trust? Not content with turning the Halloween franchise into a white trash waking nightmare, director Rob Zombie now plans to give The Blob a 21st-century makeover. The 1958 original helped launch Steve McQueen’s acting career; the surprisingly fun but sadly ignored 1988 remake all but ended Kevin Dillon’s ruined film career. “My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing—that’s the first thing I want to change,” Zombie tells Variety. “That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now.” As opposed to yawning through Halloween II

Hollywood Déjà Vu Box Office Breakdown: Aug. 28-30, 2009

August 30, 2009 Leave a comment

finaldestination3d4Death has come for Michael Myers.

As expected, The Final Destination (right) made mincemeat out of Halloween II. Going 3-D ensured the fourth Final Destination wouldn’t just triumph over Rob Zombie’s sequel to his 2007 Halloween, but open bigger than any of its predecessors.

The Final Destination opened at No. 1 with $27.4 million vs previous series champ Final Destination 3‘s $19.1 million, according to Box Office Mojo. It looks set to make $60 million vs. Final Destination 3‘s $54 million.

Halloween II likely would have done better had it been pushed back to Sept. 4 for the Labor Day holiday weekend. Opening at No. 3 behind Inglourious Basterds, Halloween II could only carve out a $16.3 million opening. That’s significantly lower than Halloween‘s $26.3 million. Director Rob Zombie’s 2007 remake eventually made $58.2 million; Halloween II likely won’t hit $40 million. Still, Zombie’s sequel only cost $15 million, so not only will it extremely profitable for the struggling studio, but it justifies next summer’s just-announced, rush-into-production Halloween 3D.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince‘s estimated $2.4 million (vs. last weekend’s $3.4 million) ensured that the sixth entry in the boy wizard franchise passed 2007′s The Order of the Phoenix‘s $292 million with its $294.2 million total. It also has a good chance to become the first Harry Potter to make $300 million since The Sorcerer’s Stone opened the franchise with $317.5 million.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen‘s estimated $575,531 brings 2009′s highest-grossing film to $399.4 million; it should earn $400 million over the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend. Its predecessor earned $319.2 million.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs collected an estimated $536,601 for a $193.2 million total. If it can make another $2.1 million, Dawn of the Dinosaurs would topple its predecessor The Meltdown ($195.3 million) as the high-grossing Ice Age.

Future Franchises?
District 9 added $10.2 million in its third weekend (vs. last weekend’s $18.3 million) for a $90.3 million. The Peter Jackson-produced sci-fi apartheid allegory will pass $100 million next weekend. G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra captured another $7.7 million (vs. last weekend’s $12.2 million), but its so-so $132.1 million total doesn’t suggest audiences are eager for another mission led by Duke, Ripchord, and Scarlett.

The following is a breakdown of how all sequels, remakes, and new/potential franchises fared this past weekend, based on estimated figures tracked by Box Office Mojo.

Halloween II (1 out of 4 stars)

August 30, 2009 Leave a comment

halloweenII5Cast: Malcolm McDowell, Tyler Mane, Sheri Moon Zombie, Brad Dourif, Danielle Harris, and Scout Taylor-Compton
Director: Rob Zombie
The Verdict: Freed once and for all from having to retell John Carpenter’s version of Halloween, Rob Zombie finally gets to impose his vision on a time-worn franchise that he rebooted in 2007 to unimpressive results. But Zombie’s Halloween II fails terribly to add to Michael Myers’ bloody legacy. Sure, he tries to psych us out by opening his surprisingly boring sequel with what appears to be a reworking of the original Halloween II. Despite sustaining numerous gunshot wounds at the end of Halloween, Myers (the hulking Taylor Mane) manages to track Laurie Strode (an understandably frantic Scout Taylor-Compton) to a hospital hours after his initial bloody rampage in Haddonfield. Just when you think Myers is about to hack Laurie into several hundred pieces, guess who wakes up from a nightmare one year after the events of Halloween? Yes, our heroine, much to our annoyance that Zombie would spend so freakin’ long on such a tired narrative-stopping device to kick off Myers’ latest killing spree. You don’t need a dream sequence to know that Laurie’s encounter with Myers left her emotionally and psychologically damaged. Of course, things get much worse when Laurie discovers she’s Myers’ sister—no real shocker to anyone who’s seen the original Halloween or the subsequent Myers sequels—and that big brother’s on his way back to Haddonfield for more than just a family reunion. If Zombie isn’t steering likely victims in Myers’ path, he’s trying to psychoanalyze Myers. Through Myers’ hallucinations, all featuring his dead mother (Sheri Moon Zombie) and his younger self (Chase Wright Vanek), we learn exactly why our masked madman wants to get his huge hands on Laurie. Myers’ motivation makes sense if you begrudgingly view life from his warped perspective, and it’s the only new thing Zombie brings to the table that works in this rebooted franchise’s favor. Unfortunately, Zombie then chooses to spend the entire film sullying our memory of Myers’ adversary, Dr. Sam Loomis. In the original series, Donald Pleasence’s dogged Loomis devoted himself to ending Myers’ reign of terror. Zombie turns Loomis into an egoist and a profiteer, and wastes too much time having the not-so-good doctor defend his questionable decision to write about book about Myers. Malcolm McDowell tries to give Loomis some redeeming qualities, but there’s only so much he can do to make him vaguely likable. Perhaps we could turn a blind eye to this if Zombie at least made us jump out of our seats on occasion, but you always know when Myers is about to strike and Zombie shots his kills too close, too far away, or too fast to shock us. But, as his wont, Zombie’s too busy exploring white trash sensibilities to concern himself with frightening us (Halloween II looks and feels so grungy you’ll want to shower the moment the end credits roll). Then again, the silent, lumbering Myers stopped being scary after the original Halloween II. By the time Zombie forces Laurie and Loomis to confront Myers one final time—and opens the door to the franchise continuing with another loon possibly terrorizing Haddonfield—you really hope that you have seen the last of Myers. And that Zombie—who initially didn’t want to return for Halloween II—will finally swear off trick-or-treating.

finaldestination3d3Death has come for Michael Myers.

As expected, The Final Destination (above) is making mincemeat out of Halloween II, according to Friday’s box office figures. Going 3-D ensured the fourth Final Destination wouldn’t just triumph over Rob Zombie’s sequel to his 2007 Halloween, but open bigger than any of its predecessors.

The Final Destination opened Friday with an estimated $10.9 million vs previous series champ Final Destination 3‘s $7.1 million, according to Box Office Mojo. It looks set to enjoy a $25 million weekend, vs. Final Destination 3‘s $19.1 million, with its No 1 debut.

Halloween II, which would have likely done better had it been pushed back to Sept. 4 for the Labor Day holiday weekend, could only carve out an estimated opening day gross of $7.6 million vs. Halloween‘s $10.8 million. So a weekend gross of $17 million and a No. 2 placing looks likely, which would be significantly lower than Halloween‘s $26.3 million. Still, Weinstein may already be thinking Halloween III: Zombie’s sequel only cost $15 million, so it looks set to be extremely profitable for the struggling studio.

Hollywood Déjà Vu Trailer Park: The Descent Part 2

August 28, 2009 Leave a comment

Once you got past all the Sex and the City-style blabbering, Neil Marshall’s The Descent was a mean little chiller that grabbed you by the throat and refused to let go until you were ready to draw your final breath. Not sure how a sequel will work without Marshall behind the cameras, or whether it uses the British or U.S. ending as a starting point, but the trailer for The Descent Part 2 suggests we’re in for more of the same bloody behavior from those creepy, crazy crawlers. The Descent Part 2 opens Dec. 2 in the United Kingdom, but no word yet on a U.S. release date from Lionsgate.

The Final Destination (1 out of 4 stars)

finaldestination3d6
Cast: Bobby Campo, Shantel VanSanten, Nick Zano, Haley Webb, and Mykelti Williamson
Director: David R. Ellis
The Verdict: You know the drill: a kid has a premonition of an impending disaster, saves everyone around him/her who listens, but then they all pay the price for cheating death. The Final Destination doesn’t deviate from the formula followed in its three predecessors—except now the blood, guts and gore comes at you in 3-D. Sure, it’s a smart move to go 3-D in order to extend a premise-driven horror franchise well past its sell-by date. Too bad director David R. Ellis—who gave us Final Destination 2 before unleashing Snakes on a Plane—doesn’t know how best to get up close and in our faces. Everything starts off promisingly, with your typical group of anonymous but hot young things barely escaping certain death, this time during an accident at a speedway track. Ellis happily throws anything and everything at us—engines, tires, broken wood beams, concrete debris—to slay as many spectators as possible and to keep us ducking in our seats. So far, so good. Then a pissed-off Death, unseen as usual, decides to kill off those who should never have survived the mayhem (including four buddies and a security guard played by with where’s-my-paycheck? apathy by Forrest Gump’s Mykelti Williamson). At this point, The Final Destination settles into its ho-hum routine of death by cause and effect. Our hero—in case, a wishy-washy Bobby Campo—continues to have visions of each survivor shuffling off this mortal coil, so he takes it upon himself to break the chain of death. Aside from one nail-biting scene set inside a hair salon, Ellis doesn’t treat us to many inspired deaths. To be honest, the survivors die either in lazy or unintentionally hilarious fashion. The best Ellis can come up with is dragging a racist down a street while he’s on fire. And the climax set in a theater showing a 3-D film is too self-consciously executed. Consequently, the post-disaster 3-D effects—from flames reaching out to tickle your nose to nails whizzing past your ears—rarely leave you gasping. That forces you to actually pay attention to the “Get a room!” bad dialogue. Maybe Ellis thought audiences would be happy just to see everything played out in 3-D and decided not to put much thought into concocting original and gripping death scenes. Whatever you want to say about My Bloody Valentine 3-D, at least it tried to freak you out. “Is it safe to sit here?” one nervous Nellie asks during the race. Not where she’s sitting, but where we are, regrettably yes.

Hollywood Déjà Vu Box Office Showdown: Aug. 28-30, 2009

August 27, 2009 Leave a comment

halloweenII8

Let’s get ready to slice, dice, and decapitate.

In one corner, Michael Myers, the psychopath responsible for putting the Hell in Halloween.

In the other corner, Death, who wants to send us to our Final Destination.

Oh, yes, things are going to get very bloody this weekend when the latest sequels in two long-in-the-tooth series trade punches at the box office. And if I were a betting man, I would put my son’s college fund on Death.

The Final Destination should enjoy the edge over Halloween II thanks to its detour into the third dimension. The fourth Final Destination (above) is the first in 3D, a gimmick that audiences can’t get enough of this summer. The Final Destination isn’t going to make Up bucks, but if this year’s My Bloody Valentine 3-D remake can open to $21.2 million, so can Death’s latest venture. Going 3D allows the series to combat audience fatigue—the formula remains the same, with Death hunting those who should have died during a disaster, but this time we get to have blood and guts thrown in our face. That, and the inflated prices for 3D, should be enough to ensure The Final Destination to beats out Final Destination 3’s series-best $19.1 million opening and $54 million total.

Why the Weinstein Co. choose to hold onto Halloween II’s Aug. 28 remains a mystery. The Final Destination was originally scheduled to open Aug. 21, but was pushed back a week presumably to get out of the way of the Weinstein Co.’s Inglourious Basterds. The financially shaky Weinstein Co. is banking its future on Quentin Tarantino’s revisionist World War II bloodbath and Halloween II—which it rushed into production after persuading a reluctant Rob Zombie to return as director. Delaying Halloween II by one weekend would not have hurt—in fact, it would have benefited this sequel to Zombie’s reboot of the Halloween franchise. By opening on Sept. 4, Halloween II may have come close to the 4-day Labor Day weekend holiday record $26.3 million opening set in 2007 by its predecessor. Now it must fight The Final Destination for the same audience of horror fans. And if you’re a 17 year old looking for a cheap thrill, then you’re going to get in line for The Final Destination, not Halloween II. (Hey, wouldn’t it a better idea to open a Halloween in the weeks leading up to Halloween?)

That’s not to say Halloween II won’t hack and slash its way to a $15 million opening. But how fast it fades–Halloween dropped a fairly typical 63.9% in its second weekend en route to a franchise-best $58.2 million total—will depend on how successful Zombie is in imposing his own vision on a 30-year-old franchise now that he is freed from retelling the story that made director John Carpenter and Michael Myers household names.

When he comes out of this grisly nightmare, Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori (Shantel VanSanten), and their friends, Janet (Haley Webb) and Hunt (Nick Zano), to leave…escaping seconds before Nick’s frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they’ve cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning.
