FilmBuzz : Watched a fascinating documentary this afternoon: "Indiana Jones and the Ultimate Quest". Highly recommended, great for sci-geek kids too.

FilmBuzz : @sugigrl it's quite possible, he's a busy actor (Ice Cube), but where did you hear he's signed for "The A Team"?

FilmBuzz : Screenplay treatment work started for The Hobbit. To be filmed in two parts and released December 2011 and December 2012. Long time to wait

FilmBuzz : Yet Another Remake: "The A-Team". Tyrese announced, but is he cast as "B. A. Baracus", the role made famous by Mr. T? No comment yet.

FilmBuzz : Valkyrie not enough? Look for Spanish film "El Pallasso i el fuehrer" (The Clown and the Fuhrer) next: Beta Films bought int'l rights.

KellyGingery : @FilmBuzz I just posted about it on my movie blog: Movie Lovers Only

FilmBuzz : Holy Toledo! Here's a name you haven't heard in a while: Paul Hogan signed to co-star in Instinct Entertainment's "Charlie and Boots".

FilmBuzz : Ridley Scott's film "Nottingham" (y'know, Robin Hood) pushed back for undisclosed reasons. I still fear it'll be a bomb.

darthseeder : @FilmBuzz oops sorry, i was talking about Bradley Blakeman suing costner for the movie "swing vote"

FilmBuzz : Watchmen 3hr cut starting to get eyeballs. Kevin Smith says "f'ing astounding" and insider at Paramount says "f'ing amazing". Yowza!

FilmBuzz : @darthseeder I mean, especially compared to such nonsense as The Poseidon Adventure and the earlier shot at the Titanic disaster.

FilmBuzz : @darthseeder which movie, Titanic? Looked like a "POS"? I don't think so, I thought Camaron did an amazing job, actually...

FilmBuzz : Rumor has it that Sam Raimi is tired of Jack Ryan/Tom Clancy and wants James Franco to take over. Must we suffer through more of these?

darthseeder : @FilmBuzz since the movie looked like a huge POS, i'm not sure i'd admit to that ;)

FilmBuzz : Trouble in Watchmen Paradise? 20th Century Fox suing Warner Bros. over rights to film "Watchmen" film. Truth stranger than fiction again?

FilmBuzz : "With enough toilet humor and shlocky gore, Gallic horror spoof "Vampire Party" satisfies as shamelessly campy entertainment." [Variety]

FilmBuzz : Poor Tom Cruise: industry giving him vast grief for "Valkyrie", film about plot to assassinate Hitler.

LeStew : @FilmBuzz have they said how long "too long" is?

FilmBuzz : Oscar contender "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" buzz is that it's too darn long to release. But edit's done. Hmmm...

DreamR : @FilmBuzz Now I'm also looking 4ward 2 "Date Night". Just announced with Steve Carell & Tina Fey. Talk abo..

KellyGingery : @FilmBuzz Now I'm also looking 4ward 2 "Date Night". Just announced with Steve Carell & Tina Fey. Talk about a "dream team"...I'm psyched.

KellyGingery : @FilmBuzz Did u read the EW piece on it....now I really can't wait. Debating on reading the book first or not.

KellyGingery : @FilmBuzz I won't tell anyone,I did too.Saw it 3 times @ the theater. DiCaprio/Winslet chemistry did it 4 me....should b good in "Rev Road"

FilmBuzz : @KellyGingery don't tell anyone, but I actually *liked* Titanic. :-)

FilmBuzz : @KellyGingery I hear that they're still editing it, but I have high hopes that "Revolutionary Road" will be dramatic + enjoyable.

KellyGingery : @FilmBuzz Have you seen "Revolutionary Road" already?I've read a lot about it & I'm really looking forward to it.DiCaprio, Winslet & Mendes.

FilmBuzz : Wilson movie "The Rocker" released this week and ... I just don't give a hoot. Does anyone want to see this movie? Maybe a yuck or two?

KellyGingery : @FilmBuzz Have you seen "Revolutionary Road" already? I've read a lot about it and I'm really looking forward to it.

FilmBuzz : Well worth watching when it comes out: "Revolutionary Road", which pairs Leo DiCaprio with Kate Winslet for first time since Titanic.

FilmBuzz : Big news in kids film: Columbia has hired Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander to adapt first book of Stine's Goosebumps. A franchise?

FilmBuzz : Remake of "Fame" set to start filming in November, exteriors in NYC, interiors in LA. Director = Kevin Tancharoen.

FilmBuzz : Backing up a bit, Simon Pegg isn't available for "Inglorious Bastards" because of his role in the upcoming Star Trek movie.

FilmBuzz : Remember the "Spy Hunter" movie that's been in the works for quite a while? It appears that it lost its director, Paul Anderson.

FilmBuzz : Casting change at Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Bastards" set: Simon Pegg is out, Samm Levine is in.

FilmBuzz : Lots and lots of ads for Babylon AD. Still, looks incredibly aggressive / in your face, even for a Vin Diesel film.

FilmBuzz : Though I am sure that the sf/x of the water tube creature is the same used in Terminator 2. Same f/x house, perhaps?

FilmBuzz : Interesting how many visual sf/x become obviously layered CGI on an MPEG video signal. Ends up kinda cheesy, not thrilling like in theater.

FilmBuzz : Some TV news: character actor Laurence Fishburne has joined the cast of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

DaVinciDeb : @FilmBuzz 3d wasn't too bad. it was funny watching the little kids grab at stuff. We were really close to the front and didn't get headache

Im_X1 : @FilmBuzz 1 banana 2 banana 3 banana 4, 5 bananas make a bunch and so do many more. Yeah. It's seared into my brain.

DaVinciDeb : @FilmBuzz hmmm. That gives us an idea about how young you are

FilmBuzz : @davincideb from the 3D preview before Journey, looked like Fly Me to the Moon was a headache inducer. Did you enjoy the 3D effect??

FilmBuzz : Beware! Warners launching remake of "The Banana Splits" TV show from the 60s, mostly on Cartoon Network. Gadzooks, I remember that show.

FilmBuzz : Cumulative overseas box office for animation: Wall-E = $146.2mil, Kung Fu Panda = $363.5 mil. Indy Jones Skull = $465mil. Big numbers!

DaVinciDeb : @FilmBuzz went to Fly Me to the Moon yesterday with grandkids.They loved it.Definitely kids movie but

FilmBuzz : Mummy: Dragon Emperor doing far better overseas than domestically: 70% of gross from overseas, cume of $196.6mil. Foreign 3x domestic?

LeStew : @FilmBuzz isn't that the same as putting on the shelf?
