The Mayor ,'End of Days'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Am I the only geek that finds the idea of a Hannibal bioepic fun? (In spite of the horrible events that were "Troy" and "Alexander," I still love Greek and Roman history.)
Or maybe I just want to see VD riding a war elephant. Which is a pretty good description on me PMSing, so maybe I'm just impaired by 5 years of Latin coursing through my Diesel lust-addled head.

No. And that goes double if they get the costume folks from Troy.
FYI, Vin Diesel's on Letterman tonight.
Hannibal would have the added bonus of not having a gay relationship motif for Hollywood to piss me off by erasing. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Mr. Aniston!
I like Vin, but stopped watching Boiler Room after 20 minutes despite the lure of Scott Caan's ass in a simulated sex scene later in the movie. Apparently I can only stomach watching stockbroker types if there's a good chance that Christian Bale is going to dismember them later on.
But! But! Giovanni Ribisi and Nia Long!!
Not to mention Ben Affleck trying sooooo hard to do Alec Baldwin's Glengary Glen Ross speech. So fun to watch.
I seriously do adore that movie. But here's the interesting thing about Vin on Letterman -- he's talking about his age like crazy -- that he was 30 years old before he did anything in Hollywood. I wonder if it's part of trying to be taken more seriously or something?

He might be trying to make a point about the perceived ageism in Hollywood. If he is, that gives me hope, because I frequently feel I'm waaaay to old to be trying to get a start in this business.
Has it been mentioned that Baz Lurhmann's version of Alexander the Great is back on the drawing boards? It was shelved b/c of Stone's version but since that sucked so mightily, they've decided to revive Baz's attempt.
re Ultraviolet; there was an aborted attempt to remake it in the US. A pilot was shot but never screened. Elba was brought over to reprise his character from the cancelled UK version.
I'm putting it here instead of in Jossverse, because the site pitches it as "more than you ever needed to know about the real Constantine -- before Keanu messes it up for you."
