The Hobbit finally gets its BILBO!


Martin Freeman has been tapped to play Biblo Baggins in the Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit." The film (which will be split into two movies) has finally grown some legs after month and months of delay. Martin Freeman has been in previous movies such as Love Actually, that Hitcher's Guide movie, and star of the UK version of THE OFFICE (the original office). Now I haven't yet read the book, but if Legolas doesn't make an appearance, I may be pissed.

Holy Crap! It has been a WHILE!


Okay... being gone this long I feel like I should give a longer type of post. A few things have been brought to my attention via various blogs/sites that have really gotten me pumped.... Here goes!

Tom Hardy casted as a "Significant Character" in Batman 3.

The Christopher Nolan directed sequel to THE DARK KNIGHT (which begins filming in April in New Orleans) has its first major addition aside from the 4 regulars (Bale, Caine, Freeman, Oldman). Not a huge shocker here. Hardy, off his recent INCEPTION fame, gets to team up with Nolan again. Which is sort of Nolan's M.O. Who will he play? Who knows. The "Joseph Gordon Levitt as the Riddler" rumor is still pretty strong. But hopefully we can hear more soon. Will I be as obsessed with this one as I was for TDK? Probs.

Feel the Vibration! Mark Wahlberg rumored as lead in remake of "The Crow".... what?
This is pretty odd if it does turn out to be true. Behind The Dark Knight, The Crow is number 2 in my heart and dvd collection. My one regret in life is that I never saw it in the theater. A buddy of mine once said he thought that The Crow (circa '94, starring the late Brandon Lee... who also died while filming... sorta like Ledger in TDK... whose make up in TDK sorta resembles Lee's in the Crow) really didn't stand the test of time (F/X, etc.) which I quickly refuted. But is it worthy of a remake? The original CROW spawned 3 horrible sequels (Speed 2 caliber) yet it seems that a remake is needed. I am interested to learn more about this to see what actually ends up happening. I will tell you this much, if the next CROW has a boston accent I am gonna go insane.

Last but not least (well...probably least), Mel Gibson rumored to have a cameo in The Hangover 2. I am sure it will be offensive.

Okay, glad the Blog is back as I am sure my 3 readers are also glad (thanks mom, ali and Mel!)
