Prometheus Sequel in the Works

During Prometheus' last few minutes we are not certain if Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and David (Michael Fassbender) will make it back to earth but with Ridley Scott announcing (via Actress Noomi Rapace) that he's currently working on the script for Prometheus' sequel we may want to assume that they didn't and they're still in the scientific vessel Prometheus, probably still lost in space. Although that sounds kind of nice that would be very assuming for us.Hahaha.

Anyway, here's what actress Noomi Rapace said.

They’re working on the script. I met Ridley [Scott] in London a couple of weeks ago. I would love to work with him again and I know that he would like to do another one. It’s just like we need to find the right story. I hope we will.

What do you think of Prometheus 2?  Well, they should start production soon as I can't wait to get more answers to this so 'Alien' prequel. And please more of the engineers. This Dragonball fanatic is reminded of Freeza. Hahaha :-)

Gary Oldman Joins Cast of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Most recently known as Commisioner Gordon in Dark Knight trilogy, actor Gary Oldman is set to join the cast of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Coming Soon confirms. Oldman will team up with Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty) and Kodi Smith-McPhee (Let Me In) in the sequel of 2011's hit Rise of the Planet of the Apes which starred James Franco.

And considering this is a sequel we don't have any news that Franco will return to reprise his role in this film. I just cannot imagine Ceasar (Andy Serkis) returning and leading his pack, herd or whatever they call it without  a conflict tha concerns Ceasar's considered human father.

The connection between Franco's character and Caesar in the first film was so strong not having James Franco in the sequel, which is by the way set 15 years later, would be very disappointing. But anyway, with the film slated for a March 23rd release for next year, there's still lots of time before they'd announce what we've always wanted.

Director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) will sit as director on the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes! Will this have an apocalyptic feel just like that monster movie? Or is he going 'Spielberg-ish' with the inclusion of a young character played by Smith-McPhee? No official plot details for "Dawn" has surfaced just yet. So stay tuned!

Quvenzhané Wallis Stars in Annie Movie Remake

Quvenzhané Wallis is perhaps the most charming child star today. After her Oscar-worthy debut in Beasts of the Southern Wild, she's set to take the role of Annie. After weeks of being in the rumor mill, finally Columbia Pictures announced that Wallis will indeed take te role in the upcoming remake of the famous musical. She was however the second choice, since the producers of this film (Will and Jada Smith) have their daughter Willow Smith to play the role.

 Plot:
"An orphan, Annie, and her dog Sandy are placed in the lap of luxury for a week as a part of a publicity campaign for Oliver Warbucks. However, Annie's stay turns out to be much more than anyone had bargained for as she works her way into everyone’s hearts and learns a few things for herself."

The story is based on a 1930s comic strip called 'Little Orphan Annie'. This remake is going to be directed by Will Gluck (Easy A) from a script by Emma Thompson which was later rewritten by Aline Brosh McKenna. The remake is expected to start this Fall for a mid 2014 release.

Oscars 2013 Complete List of Winners

While I think this year's Oscars is a bit disappointing in terms of the pace from the previous Oscars. There's no denying that Oscars 2013 is the most prestigious award-giving event and the biggest still. As usual, the red carpet ceremony was anticipated by many to see their favorite stars don trash to highly fashionable outfits. Most buzzed actresses about their dresses are Anne Hathaway in a rather simple Prada outfit, Amy Adams, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lawrence.

The 85th Oscars was hosted by Seth McFarlane (director of TED) who was either trying to become deliberately terrible or just terrible from the start. However, he was able to collect himself and throw some few great jokes in the middle till the end.

Anyway, here's the full list!

Flamingo Thief is basically about a man named Tim Forester who spends his time stealing Flamingo figurines after losing his son while still on the verge of business, personal, social and life crisis. Stay tuned for more details about this Flamingo comedy!
