MOVIE NEWS
TERMINATOR 4
A number of Australian newspapers are reporting that producer Andrew Vajna
(Total Recall) is gearing up to begin work on Terminator 4. The script,
written by John Brancato and Michael Ferris, has been described as a "real"
sci-fi picture.
This is the same team that created Terminator 3, a movie that was far better
than it had any right to be without James Cameron at the helm, but still a
disappointment when compared to its illustrious forebearers. Can T4 bring
the franchise full-circle with a time-travel plot-line? Will Arnold
Schwarzenneger (right) star, or just make a cameo? Watch this space...
AMBULANCE CHASERS
Director Jay Chandrasekhar (The Dukes Of Hazzard) is set to direct Ambulance
Chasers for 'Warner Brothers', with his Broken Lizard comedy troupe who
previously worked together on Super Troopers and Club Dread. The movie is
about two personal-injury lawyers who fight over new clients (those being
transported in ambulances).
BEAN 2
Steve Bendelack (The League Of Gentlemen's Apocalypse) has been signed by
'Working Title Films' to direct Bean 2, the sequel to the 1997 Rowan
Atkinson (right) hit movie. Bean 2 starts shooting on 15 May and finds Mr Bean
travelling to the South of France on holiday, where he causes the usual
mayhem.
Bean 2 has been written by Robin Driscoll and Hamish McColl, based on a
story by Simon McBurney. The original grossed $240 million worldwide,
although the global success of Atkinson's Bean TV series is a phenomenon
that has since passed. Are audiences still interested in Bean's hinjinks?
INTO THE MIRROR
Director Alandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes remake) has been signed by
'Regency Pictures' to film a movie entitled Into The Mirror, about a
security guard at a department store who investigates deaths that have all
occurred in front of mirrors. The script is by Jim Uhls (Fight Club).
