The new Deathstalker gets a trailer, Bugonia gets a poster, and Lady Gaga joins Wednesday season two—just as another $100 million dollar musical gets an “R” rating. After Folie a Deux, is Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride a Xanadu or a Xanadon’t?
Transformers
Speaking with The Direct, Josh Duhamel revealed he has “not heard” about Michael Bay reportedly returning to direct another installment in the Transformers franchise, but, Duhamel said, he would “love to do it.”
I have not heard that. But yeah, why not? Michael Bay is such a talented dude. I just really, I really, really loved working with him. We did four of those movies. One, I did 1, 2, 3, and 5. I shot up that, you know, I started as like a cadet and ended up like a lieutenant colonel or something. So who knows. Would I be a general at this point? I’ve definitely grayed into the spot. Yeah, I’d love to do it.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Jackie Chan revealed that his own stunt team was on hand to advise on the action scenes in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Chinese publication HK1 reported(via Games Radar).
I went to London for a meeting and visited the set. My Jackie Chan Stunt Team was busy filming Spider-Man, and I was the action director for the Jackie Chan Stunt Team. I went to watch their rehearsals, and the director was so excited when he saw me.
The Descent
Director Neil Marshall revealed in a recent interview with Metro that he has an idea for a prequel to The Descent that would somehow “wrap up” the story.
I can definitely see it happening […] It’s something I think would be good to wrap up the story. So many other franchises have been exploited over the years, but nothing has really happened with The Descent.
I’ve got a few ideas. The trend seems to be prequels. I was always interested in finding out what happened to the miners who went down with the cave first.
The Bride!
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s $100 million Frankenstein musical, The Bride!, has been rated “R” for “strong/bloody violent content, sexual content/nudity and language.”
