RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Anderson]

Any more word on THE HOBBIT's disastrous screening? Any word yet on DJANGO UNCHAINED?

Django will screen weird since it's SONY. The studio that is racing against the clock to make sure that Zero Dark Thirty meets its 12/19 deadline.

The Hobbit was blowing up on that screening, then it went radio silence. So, I think WB is killing most of the blowback from that.

Wahlberg may take over Transformers 4. Good fit.

[Abraham Smashington]

fuck yeah

[Abraham Smashington]

Although I still wish the rumors of Jason Statham taking over were true.

[Timothy225]

If Statham hate-fucks a Decepticon while shit explodes around him, I'll throw money at the screen opening night.

[Matt]

Statham in a TRANSFORMERS film would get my butt in the theater.

[PHEDG]

Statham as a part human/part transformer hybrid.

[Anderson]

Frank Grillo is now trying to get the Crossbones role in The Winter Soldier.

[Abraham Smashington]

Wahlberg NOT in TF4.

[Anderson]

Wahlberg NOT in TF4.

I wondered about that, since he seemed a little too expensive for a non CG effect.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Bay's come out to "deny" rumors before... and then they turned out to be true. His reaction was too knee-jerk to take it to heart.

[Matt]

Arnold Schwarzenegger in a new CONAN film.

[Timothy225]

Heard about that yesterday. Not interested, as the Arnold/Conan of the original film is long gone.

I'd rather see a sequel to the Momoa film - while not great, it wasn't as bad as folks made out. Give it a better story/writer and all should be good.

[Captain Russ]

Give me Red Nails or God in the Bowl this time.

Not holding my breath on Conan 3.

Arnold is DEAD in the eyes of women now and a lot of men too (That damn book and especially the 60 Minutes interview). I mean Terminator 5 should have been the easiest done-deal with the package it had and it collapsed. He couldn't help open Expendables 2 where his face was everywhere and The Last Stand is apparently crap. Then there's the little matter of the Conan reboot that just came out belly-flopped.
