Time for a news roundup, quick fix for what's new in the movie industry. I think I might have to post this feature very often so I can reach and inform the up-to-date news, that may not just my favorites. Not exactly not-my-favorites, but more like not-my-concerns (even though I do put concerns in the movies I mention below). Ready, set, here we go!
There's no "Kick-Ass 2" at anytime soon
Yeah I can hear you screamed "boo!" or "oh nooo!" from your place. Following the success of the first "Kick-Ass" last year, we all speculated that the sequel is on its way, even "Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall" has been listed to
IMDb (as well as Aaron Johnson's page—from my stalking mission) and to be released in 2012.
Unfortunately Jane Goldman, the writer confirmed
through her twitter that she is not working on the script for "Kick-Ass 2". She said that she has two projects to do, and then she'll be working again with Matthew Vaughn, the"Kick-Ass" director, but it's unlikely to be "Kick-Ass 2". FYI, Jane is also the writer for Matthew's upcoming "X-Men: First Class".
I love the first "Kick-Ass" movie, I think it's bloody funny! So at the end of the movie it was showed that Christopher Mintz-Plasse will take revenge as the Red Mist 2.0 (well I don't know what to call it) so it implied that there will be a sequel. But apparently we have to wait until unknown period of time.
"Captain America" changes title in South Korea, Ukraine, and Russia
I don't know if this is political, but the name "Captain America" is apparently 'offensive' for those three countries, according to the market research from
LA Times. Eventually Paramount Pictures, the distributor, has to drop "Captain America" from the title, and simply calls it "The First Avenger".
The movie title is originally titled "Captain America: The First Avenger".
Possible 3D sequels for "The Matrix"!
Hello all Keanu Reeves and "The Matrix" trilogy fans! Thanks to
Ain't It Cool News, we got some 'sneak peek' about Keanu's future projects, and it includes... (drumroll please) sequels for his classic sci-fi trilogy "The Matrix"!
At the London School of Performing Arts speech in which he was a guest speaker, Keanu talked about the possibility of "The Matrix" sequels. He said that he met The Wachowski Brothers, the geniuses behind "The Matrix", to discuss a two-movie script which would bring him back to "The Matrix" universe.
Another exciting part is that The Wachowski had visited James Cameron discussing to produce the films in 3D. Wait, what? "The Matrix" in 3D? Sounds about right to me!
