Moviehole Mailbag - 8/1/08
Date : January 8, 2008     Writer : Clint Morris

Your pressing questions answered by Clint


I read your comments concerning avp:r and despite the lack of success yet again from this film, I do hope it sparks an interest in separate sequels. I'm more of Predator fan and feel it's deserving of at least on final stand alone film. But if I know a little, just a little, of the movie industry, then I know they'll just ride this dead horse until it decomposes beyond recognition. In other words we can pretty much expect another avp before talks of separate sequels begins. Man that really sucks. If only I was a talented enough writer and knew what I was doing, I'd at least come up with something for Predator. Enough to make someone go, "fuck it! lets do it!" Lets rally dammit! I want more Predator!. - Juanito the Frito Bandito

Clint: To make someone go, �fuck it! Let�s do it!� all you�d need is a script devoid of any kind of emotion or correlation to the original franchises. Probably a good idea to blow Paul W.S Anderson too.


"People enjoyed SUPERMAN RETURNS" huh? I would disagree with that. People WENT to see it, yes, but a lot of viewers hated it, or were simply indifferent to it. Witness the poor DVD sales, tepid video game sales, and lack of interest in a sequel. You actually WANTED to see little Superman Jr. fly around in the next movie? I doubt many people had any interest in that at all...Singer made a TON of missteps with that movie. It was boring, it had no action sequences, there was no chemistry between Routh and Bosworth, Kevin Spacey wasn't funny at all, it was pretentious and missed the entire element that made the Reeve movies so entertaining.
To me this is the first good news of 2008. I\'m thrilled we won\'t see another one from Bryan singer.
- Supermanfan

Clint : I think I read somewhere that �Supermanfan� is actually the name that Margot Kidder uses when booking into hotels. Funny that.


If they need new Superman, I shall do it�. - Walt

Clint : You can get in line behind the guy in the white jacket with the subtle hint of vomit rash on his chin.


is it bad news that singer is off superman? I was disappointed with superman returns. Give P Greengrass a big salary and a big budget and he\'ll give the man of steel some bourne identity.? - Sam

Clint : What�s with the �Superman Returns� bashing? If I fast-forward to two years time and see that �Superman Unbound� directed by Brett Ratner is playing at cinemas I�ll know who to point the finger at. Honestly, �Superman Returns� was a quality film � I know it probably didn�t include as much action or adventure as it could�ve but you can�t tell me that the once-planned Salkind-penned �Superman 5� which would�ve seen Christopher Reeve�s Superman shrunk to the size of a nail or the ill-fated �Superman Lives� with Nicolas Cage as the black(!)-suited hero would�ve been better. Frankly, I think it was the best one to go with it at the time.


Please thank Pete for the forums - Tina

Clint : Why don�t you actually log in and thank him yourself.



what the hell is up with the entertainment news this week. If there is no news than update us on that. Geeze.. - William

Clint : What?! Sorry!? You want to me to run news stories stating that there�s �no news this week�. I think 99.9% of the general audience would disagree, Bill.


Hey guys. me again. I was wondering if there will be a ��Resident Evil 4��? A direct sequel to the series...not the CGI movie "Degeneration", I hope so...I don�t understand why everyone hates these movies...I think they�re great. - Nick

Clint - Ah, so you�re the guy! The good news is yes, a �Resident Evil 4� is definitely happening � �Extinction� made a mint at the box office � but the bad news is, it won�t be happening anytime in the next few months. I recall Jensen Ackles mentioned on his MySpage page a year or so ago that he was attached to the film but I�d say that�s no longer the case � not with the delay.


Hi super Clint, How u doing? I like your forum, it's growing day after day. Did u hear rumor about Marcus Nispel won�t direct ��Friday [the 13th]�??? I'm sure he will, but some asshole from kane hodder myspace said that Sean F#@#ing Cunningham said that this movie isn't going forward! Bullshit? Right? Hope so. I'm tired to wait the Jason comeback. Take care dude. Your Italian pizza pal. - Francesco

Clint : Francesco, no, haven�t heard that rumour � as far as I know Nispel�s �Friday the 13th� remake is near ready to go. You�ll have your beloved Jason back on the big screen very soon. Post me over a large Hawaiian will you?


I�m thinking Katie Holmes should make a great Kate Brewster in Terminator 4.
Some sites are already leaning in that campaign. I hope its ok to post MB links here if not just do away with it link. I saw this too on other MB's and is this Director McG punking Holmes? He�s a good actor and fans should give him a chance instead of crucifying him. link 2. thanks....
- Chris

Clint : Maybe they could get Tom to play the new Terminator? Personally, I think they might cast a little bit older for Brewster this time � someone in their thirties � and do you really think her husband (who essentially manages her now) would let her do a silly little movie like �Terminator Salvation�? Nah, me either. How about they just fuck with everyone and cast Lena Headey in the part of Brewster? That�ll have a few scratching their noggins.



I think the perfect actor to play Hugh Hefner's biopic would be Aaron Echhart. What do you think? I�m not a big fan of Wonder Woman the movie or for JLA but if WB is really into it then I see Sarah Lancaster perfect for the role. - Kate

Clint : Firstly, to �Wonder Woman�, I believe Megan Gale has the part all but sewn up. Sorry. Secondly, I think Tom Bosley is a much better choice to play Hefner� check this.
