Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Looks like we won't be seeing a Man From UNCLE movie any time soon. For years people and studios have tried to make a feature film version of the 60's classic tv series the Man From UNCLE. The latest attempt looked like it might get made, Warner Brothers was backing it and the had Steven Soderbergh as director.
Early casting had George Clooney as Napolean Solo but he dropped out early and others were mentioned but no one was cast in any part. Now Steven Soderbergh has dropped out of the project.Soderbergh had planned a trilogy of UNCLE films set in the 1960's but it seems the casting troubles and the low budget set by Warner's ($60 million) was too much for the Director to deal with. The March 2012 planned filming date seems unlikely and Warner's will have to re-start the whole production.

Seems die hard Star Wars fans are upset about changes that have been made to the films by George Lucas for the Blu-Ray box set release. They are his movies and he can do what he wants them, i don't see why all the hoopla. I'm not getting the Blu-Ray discs because i don't have Blu Ray player or a High Def Digital tv.

Godzilla Remake In The Works

Legendary films to remake Godzilla.

The giant Japanese monster is getting the Hollywood treatment — again. This time Legendary Pictures will do an American Godzilla movie, based on Toho Company’s legendary monster. The studio, which is behind the upcoming Clash of the Titans, has made it clear it won’t be a sequel to the 1998 film that Sony and Roland Emmerich made. (That movie starring Matthew Broderick grossed close to $400 million worldwide.) Rather, it will be a re-imagining of the original Godzilla movies. Legendary has plans to announce a director for the film soon. The movie — which Legendary hopes to release in 2012 — will be a co-production and co-financing deal with Warner Bros, and Toho will distribute the film in Japan.
