[Captain Russ]

Catch-all for announcements for random properties and developments before they generate enough interest to get their own thread.

Sort of the film version of the Random TV thread.

Feel free to nuke it from orbit.

I'll start wif the announcement that Nick Cave has been pegged to write the latest script for the Crow movie being done by Blade-helmer Steven Norrington.

[Abraham Smashington]

I want to know what the fuck they are talking about in regards to the Crow being more than just a bird. Seriously. It just sounds fucking stupid.

[Captain Russ]

Personally, I wanna see that Gladiator sqweakquel.

Sounds like Cave saw the Miike movie IZO.

And in regards to the Crow, maybe Draven can give people Avian Flu this time around?

kinda pumped to hear that Daniel Craig has been signed to the US version of 'the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'.

YES! Have him lose a bit of the rock hard abs from Bond and he is perfect.

[Captain Russ]

Who've they cast as the girl?

If it's Lip-Biter Stewart, I will be angar.

[Ed Hocken]

I had heard Ellen Page.

eh

I had heard Ellen Page.

You hear wrong. Fincher has been saying over and over he wants an unknown, and he has tested 5 or 6 actresses all of which are complete unknowns.

Sounds like it'll be a character. The Nightwolf to Erik Draven's Liu Kang.

Visions of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation dance in my head.

"FEEL YOUR ANIMALITY" DERP

[Ed Hocken]

Good

Not that I expect it to be better than the girl they got to play Lisbeth.

I had meant to see the second movie, never got around to it.

[Captain Russ]

I had heard Ellen Page.

eh

Watch An American Crime. She and Catherine Keener own that movie.

[BillyG]

Ellen Page is great, but I don't see her as Lisbeth. Too soft around the edges.

[Captain Russ]

She's too angelic. Yew right.

[Ed Hocken]

Then what were those reports I kept reading where they kept referencing Hard Candy?

[BillyG]

Her agent.
