Leonardo DiCaprio to Produce and Star in Woodrow Wilson Biopic
Leonardo DiCaprio has been elected to star in the Woodrow Wilson biopic, Wilson. Based on the A. Scott Berg biography of the 28th U.S. President, the rights of which were recently acquired by Warner Bros., DiCaprio will also produce through his Appian Way banner along with partner Jennifer Davisson Killoran. Generally well-received, Wilson portrays the President in a positive light when it comes to his handling of World War I, the Federal Reserve and the League of Nations, but downplays his weak stance on civil liberties. In other words, a biography tailor-made for movie-going audiences. There are plenty of events from Wilson

Rumor: Arnold Schwarzenegger to Play the Villain in AVATAR 2
With production set to begin soon on the next pair of Avatar movies, details of what’s to come after James Cameron’s blockbuster 3D epic is still an almost complete mystery. Well, Latino Review thinks they’ve cracked a key element of the next film; the news-and-rumor site is reporting that they’ve got a source telling them the film’s villain will be played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former California governor currently filming Expendables 3 with Sylvester Stallone. According to the site, Schwarzenegger will play a "bad guy human general."
Schwarzenegger has worked with Cameron in the past on the Terminator films and True Lies; it’s arguable (and Latino Review does argue) that his status as a major international star is due in no small part to those collaborations. Schwarzenegger is also expected to appear in the next Terminator film, although very little is known about the story and so it’s not clear how large or small his role will be.
Rumor: Arnold Schwarzenegger to Play the Villain in James Cameron's AVATAR 2
Yes and I'm aware---and I want it to stop god dammit, at least for one film/project. It's distracting and everyone's in on the joke. It's not like he's JCVD where he lives most of his life in Belgium/France and so his accent is what it is.^ It sounds like he's forcing it because he is forcing it. It's such a big part of his persona that he's used a vocal coach to maintain the accent.
i have never been as against a remake as i am against spike lee's oldboy
Hollywood's insistence on remaking Asian and European films within years of their release is possibly the worst thing about the whole industry
oldboy is 10 years old which is actually older than many foreign movies that get remade such as a tale of two sisters, let the right one in, and the girl with the dragon tattoo, but oldboy is a film that should never be remade no matter how much time has passed
when this idea first was around i heard it was going to be a new adaptation of the manga rather than a remake of the film
i would still be against that but at least that approach offers some hope for an original take considering the film is completely different from the manga
but just remaking the Korean film is so lame and spike lee is a terrible director, now i like him even less
Arnold is guaranteed to be better this time around as a villian, as opposed to the last time....
I have a real problem with this type of attitude towards remakes. If they remake The Godfather, then yes, thats too much. Oldboy seems like they nailed it. It seems to have a Fight Club type of feel to it and looks like a blend of Asian and American cultures. Everything about it seems like the type of remake you should want. If it was just another cash in remake it would be PG-13 and bland as all hell. This definitely isn't the case. I would love to see remakes like this where it's an actual artist and not Len Wiseman making some generic piece of shit. Plus this is way better then some dumb sequel to a franchise thats been ran into the ground.
I don't get mad when another musician covers someone elses song. Don't get why anyone would be that upset over writer/directors interpreting other writer/director's films.
Cool it, with the insults.
