Movie things...

[lithera]

You know what? I give up. I love Star Wars and not even the prequels can kill that for me. I love it. I realized that when I saw this fold out cover for Vanity Fair. It isn't something I'm going to try to justify or defend to myself. I'm just going to allow myself to love it. I can't kill something that was that big a part of my childhood.

On to a few things less personal and movie related.

Peter Jackson and Philippa Boyens are going to make The Lovely Bones into a movie after they're done with King Kong. It was a great book and I think they'll do magical things with it.

It looks like Natalie Portman is in serious contention for a role in V for Vendetta. (Being produced by those people that brought you The Matrix movies.)

There are sweet Batman pictures poping up all over the place. It's only a few months now!

Rent is turning into a movie and Christopher Columbus directing it. He's bringing along as much of the original cast as he can grab and the script is as close to the stage script as it can be while turning it into a movie.

Here are some early pictures of the Hitchhiker's movie.

Emmanuelle Vaugier has been cast for the Sci Fi Channel's Painkiller Jane.

Apparently The Rock is a big front-runner to play He-Man. Well... I'd go see it.

..... and I think that's it right now.

And the new Galactica series premieres with two episodes next weekend (the 14th). Sci-Fi is rerunning the entire original series next week, plus Galactica 1980, in the mornings, and re-airing the four-hour pilot for the remake.

ANNNNNND BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL..HE-MAN IS GONNA LAY THE SMACK DOWN ON THAT BONY CANDY ASS!!

Ok, sorry. Got a little carried away there :)

[lithera.livejournal.com]

SWEET!

Nah. Perfectly okay with me.

[arian1.livejournal.com]

HEE! Now I totally want to do a HE-MAN monologue ala Rock.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Hee hee hee.

That would be hilarious.

OK, LOVE the picture. How fun is that?

1. I love the Vanity Fair pic too, but there are faces in the back I don't recognise! Who are those two sanding behind "young Anakin"? Is the white haired one Anthony Daniels? And that guy behind Jar Jar, he's that guy from that show, right?

2. I like the fact that Zaphod is all hunched over to leave room for a CG head, but why is Marvin's head so huge? I guess he really does have a brain the size of a planet.

3. Why on earth do we need another He-Man live action moive?

Liam Neeson - Qui Gon
And... The guy's name who I can't remember right now... He's The Emperor.

I don't know.

I don't know that either. John Woo wants to make one.

Ian McDermott.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Thanks. My brain has been horrible with names recently. I had to ask like four times the other day what someone's name was because it just kept slipping out of my head.

[crispengray.livejournal.com]

Has Zaphod lost his second head?

[crispengray.livejournal.com]

...and who are you again?

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

Very cool picture. Too bad there's no Alex Guinness in it. :(

[cleverusername2.livejournal.com]

I think they are leaving room for a CG head. Who is that behind Jar Jar?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Exactly...

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Jimmy Smitz. He's Bail Organa who we haven't seen too much of yet but will.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It is too bad. There are some people I would have liked to have seen in there but It is okay that they're not. (Wedge and Boba Fett for instance... 'specialy since Wedge is Ewan McGregor's uncle...)

[cleverusername2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I remembered who he was in the movie just a few minutes after that post, but I spaced on his name. He's always "that guy from that show with the stuff".
