'Bad Boys' is Getting Another Installment

First came Bad Boys, then came Bad Boys II but, a trilogy needs 3, so now we will get Bad Boys III. The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Columbia Pictures has now hired Peter Craig to pen the next sequel.

As of now Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Michael Bay are not due to return but, Columbia is hoping that a strong story will bring them all back. The good news is that the aforementioned have been known to have the will to come back if a good story gets made. The bad news is that the high salaries of both Smith and Lawrence might become a hurdle.

The first Bad Boys was released in 1995 grossing $66 million domestically and $141 million worldwide. This film helped Bay launch as a director and Smith as an action star. The second pulled in $138 million domestically and $273 million worldwide when released in 2003.

So what do you say? Are you all ready for one more Baytastic film, that includes many, many explosions with more explosions within explosions?

BREAKING: Disney Bought Marvel Entertainment, Inc.

I would of never thought this would happen, not even in my craziest wildest dreams but, now we know that the Walt Disney Company has bought Marvel Entertainment, Inc. The news has come from a Disney press release over at MarketWatch. With this new deal Disney will acquire Marvel's more than 5,000 characters, while Marvel will gain Disney's massive marketing infrastructure. Disney will shell out the big amount of $4 billion to make Marvel a Walt Disney Company.

Robert A. Iger, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company said, "This transaction combines Marvel's strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney's creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories," followed by, "Ike Perlmutter and his team have done an impressive job of nurturing these properties and have created significant value. We are pleased to bring this talent and these great assets to Disney."

A big question here is, what will be the future of the upcoming Marvel films?

UPDATE: It appears that Disney won't be taking control over the upcoming Marvel films. Since these movies rights, such as, Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Avengers, and Thor are already in the hands of other studios. Disney does plan to eventually be the only Marvel film distributor.

UPDATE 2: Marvel and Pixar have already brainstormed some ideas and things went good. Should we take this to mean Pixar will be releasing a Marvel film soon?

'Hancock' Gets A Sequel

After the first movie grossed $624 million worldwide last year our irresponsible and boozy superhero will be getting a second movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Columbia has signed writers Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara to pen the sequel. Director Peter Berg will be returning as well along with Will Smith.

The plot is being kept secret for now but, Smith did give out some hints last winter when he mentioned that the Hancock universe is full of yet to be explored characters that will be met in the sequel.

We can expect the sequel to hit theaters sooner than the first which took more than twelve years, originally titled 'Tonight He Comes'.

Seeing how the first movie ended there are many possible paths the franchise can take, specially since Charlize Theron or Jason Bateman are not mentioned to be on board for this sequel.

Are you excited about this sequel? Let us know why or why not...

Movie Review: 'District 9'

Opening in theaters today is District 9 but, yesterday I got the chance to watch a screening of the movie before its release. Before I continue, I must warn you guys that SPOILERS WILL FOLLOW. The movie is produced by Peter Jackson and written/directed by Neill Blomkamp.

As opposed to the movie's viral ads, this review can be read by both humans and non-humans.

The story follows a group of alien refugees in Johannesburg, South Africa in what is known as District 9, hence that's where the movie gets its name from. As humans become annoyed by the alien neighbors, known as "Prawns", they begin to riot trying to push the aliens out of our planet after 20 years. Contrary to this the governments don't want the aliens to leave because they want to use their technology and weapons.

Right off the bat in the beginning the movie focuses on educating the audience on what District 9 is along with other details on Multi-National United or MNU, which is a government agency. The movie progresses focusing on one person (Wikus van der Merwe) the most. Wikus is played by Sharlto Copley who does a terrific job in the film as he connects with the aliens and makes the audience cheer on the alien side...

The movie really manages to capture our attention as it takes us a bit deeper into the alien life and shows the audience that they too have feelings and thrive to survive. When the star of the movie teams up with a Prawn by the name of Christopher Johnson, the film is able to portray the aliens as almost human like in their own way.

Considering the movie is a low budget film it does great on the CGI front and does not give us fantasy like aliens or alien technology/weaponry. Instead we see weapons that, yes are more advanced than that of us humans but, look like a reasonable possibility. The weapons don't come in shinny bright colors, etc and, is what gives them that "real" factor.

All in all District 9 delivered on what it promised. It is indeed a new take on alien stories and gives the Sci-Fi scene something to be proud of. As for my rating on the film goes, I can say it deserves a 9 from a 1-10 scale, (10 being the highest) and no, my rating is not connected to the title in any way.

Considering the fact that director Neill Blomkamp made his feature directorial debut with District 9, I for one can't wait to see other films by him later down the road.

If you got to watch the movie already drop us a comment and let us know how much you liked it or maybe disliked it.

'Legion' Red Band Trailer

A red band trailer has been released for Legion over at MySpace, which requires you to input your date of birth before. Yes that means the trailer is for mature audiences only but, here at Grindhouse we bring you a YouTube version that wont require you to input age and loads a lot quicker --you can thank us later.

The trailer is packed with Angel fights, action, and of course a dose of blasphemy. It appears that the movie focuses on an Angel (Paul Bettany) that is trying to stop the Apocalypse (correct me if I'm wrong) and many Angels trying to bring forth the aforementioned. All this while the many Angels are trying to kill God's "second son" before birth.

As I mentioned above this trailer is for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY! Follow us after the break to watch the long trailer...

J.J. Abrams Taking Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' to the Big Screen?!

As it appears, J.J. Abrams and co-creator of Lost, Damon Lindelof have bought the rights to Stephen King's series of The Dark Tower for $19.00. For anyone familiar with the story you are aware that the number 19 has a lot of significance through out the series. According to Comic Book Movie Fansites, Lindelof told Lostpedia that they want to put this on hold until they finish with Lost, which should be this season.

“We’re just so focused on finishing ‘Lost’ that it’s really hard to think about anything else. The last thing we want to think about is how to adapt a seven book series of, you know, basically the writer who we admire the most and look up to most and has inspired our work the most, and do anything with that", Lindelof said as he continued on to say "I think that it’s such a daunting task. We have a pretty daunting task in front of us ourselves [with the end of 'Lost'].”

AMC was also recently told by Lindelof himself that he would like for the series to be on par with Peter Jackson's trilogy of The Lord of the Rings. What gives me high hopes for this film is the fact that they don't want to rush to it and take their time.

What are your thought on this? Will you be looking forward to this 7 book series to materialize in the form of films?

'Machete' Official Casting Revealed

First of all, allow me to apologize to anyone who might be annoyed by numerous posts on Robert Rodriguez's Machete . Truth be told, I am really looking forward to this movie (or was). Buried within a very long article from Variety lies the official casting for the aforementioned film. Most of the rumored actors and actresses turned out to be real. With this in mind some names were expected but, some really took me by surprise. As also mentioned in the very long article, the movie started production this week with Mr. Rodriguez co-directing with protege Ethan Maniquis.


The rumored Robert De Niro will indeed share the big screen with Danny Trejo but, this comes with a price (maybe a price too high) that translates into Lindsay Lohan also being part of the cast. Don't get me wrong I somehow still have hope that Lohan might shine in this film. The other announced cast members are Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Jeff Fahey.

Is this casting announcement making you jump with joy or cry away your hopes for the movie? Drop us a comment.
