Movie News For Your Daily Lives
This is Sutton, once again bringing the updatery goodness. A happy (belated) birthday goes out to Libby, and Hurricane Ivan can die of gonorrhea and rot in Hell. I'm sure my friends in Alabama will agree with me.
So other than that, there's not really a lot of going on. And when that happens, I have nothing better to do than hit the movie news.
Jessica Simpson will be playing Daisy Duke in the Warner Brothers movie adaptation of The Dukes of Hazzard, joining Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott in the cast. Word is that Jay Chandrakashar (director/star of Super Troopers and Club Dread) will direct the movie from a script by John O'Brien (who co-wrote the Starsky & Hutch movie) and Jonathan Davis.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Karl Urban will be the lead in Universal's adaptation of the Doom video games. I've heard The Rock has been cast too, which would make him one busy man. He's also doing a movie version of the Spy Hunter video game and Be Cool (the sequel to Get Shorty).
Also on the topic of video games becoming movies, Paramount Pictures has tapped Dean Georgaris to write their adaptation of the Area 51 arcade game. Georgaris previously wrote Lara Croft, Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, Paycheck, and Denzel Washington's remake of The Manchurian Candidate. I love Area 51, so I'll have to check this one out.
If you want to freak someone out in the middle of the night, turn out all the lights and fire up the Unsolved Mysteries theme song. It works for me.
I've been watching Dr. Phil's show a lot lately, and some of those guests could use Dr. Phil smacking them upside the head. They need somebody to tell them, "quit being stupid, stupid!" Maybe that's why I don't have a degree in psychology, a book deal, and my own TV show.
Bad news for fans of The Ramones: guitarist Johnny Ramone lost his battle with prostate cancer last night at the age of 55. A tribute concert was held this past Sunday to raise money for cancer research, and another concert is scheduled for October 8th at New York City's Spirit Club.
Not a lot else to talk about. Sutton out.
