Buffy ,'Get It Done'
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.
The Iron Man star is in negotiations to play Anne Rice's Lestat Du Lioncort in the latest movie adaptation of her The Vampire Chronicles, according to BloodyDisgusting.com.
So they're ... doing a new take on the book/character? Or they're remaking the first outing?

ION, I just got back from seeing District 9 and Moon back to back. I think I'll buy some catfood for my clone.

Wow. What a fantastic afternoon of movie watching, tommy. Two of the best movies of the year, and both two of the better movies of the last several years.
I just watched RockNRolla, one of the coolest little lumps of cinematic WTF? I've ever seen...
re: District 9 and the gore: sure there was the scifi type, which, yeah, not so bad, although gross. What got me was the chewing on the nail and the falling out teeth and the chopping of appendages.
What got me was the 'popcorn'.
Am I terribly late on getting on the "Chris Evans is hot" train? He did nothing for me in Fantastic Four, was intrigued by him in Sunshine, and I can't even recall what flipped the switch to WANT. But I just watched Push (wonderful character torture) and Street Kings (as Colin Farrel was to Minority Report) in quick succession. I want more.

I assume it would be a movie version of The Vampire Lestat, which was skipped the first time around. (I suppose they could also be planning a movie version of Tale of The Body Thief or Memnoch The Devil, but, er, NO. PLEASE GOD NO.)

I concur. Wholeheartedly.
