Quick Bit Movie News
A lot of comic related movie and television news has been released in the past couple of weeks and here is a recap that should help catch you up on what you might have missed.
First, the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine has confirmed casting for three new X-Characters: Deadpool, Gambit, and John Wraith. Ryan "I always show my ripped chest in movies" Reynolds will appropriately be playing loud-mouth Deadpool. Taylor Kitsch will play Cajun bad boy Gambit. It's about time Gambit got a big screen debut, but with the no Rouge there will definitely be something missing with his character. Black Eye Pea rapper will.i.am will portray 90's Weapon-X flunky John Wraith. Hugh Jackman will return to his role as Wolverine, with Liev Schreiber as Sabertooth and Danny Huston as Coll. William Stryker already cast. Wolverine will be directed by Gavin Hood.
In other X related entertainment news, one of my all time favorite bands Foo Fighters are sueing Marvel Entertainment for copyright infringement. newsarama reports that "substantial experts" of Foo songs "Best of You" and "Free Me" were used in teaser trailers for the upcoming animated series Wolverine and X-Men with out permission from the band or Roswell Records Inc. who own the master recordings.
Director David Fincher (Se7en) will direct the adaptation of Charles Burns' disturbing graphic novel Black Hole. The creative team behind 3D flop Beowulf, Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman, will be writing the screenplay. If you have not read Black Hole, nows your chance with the recent release of the affordable soft cover edition. Fincher has quite a task in adapting Burns' cult classic. Burns' mastery of negative space in his art is quite impressive and I think Fincher will have to equally the beautiful adaptation of Sin City to truly satisfy fans. Black Hole deals with a group of 70's teens being physically mutated by a mysterious new STD.
Finally, animated feature Chicago 13 will see a St. Louis premiere at the Tivoli on March 28. The film mixes distinguished animation and archival footage of the Chicago Conspiracy Trial of 60's radicals Abbie Hoffman, Tom Hayden, Jerry Rubin, Bobby Seale and others. It is looking to be one of the best animated films of 2008, so don't miss it.
