The Book: Any Philip K. Dick novel
Why it should be adapted:
This is the final installment of the “5 Sci-Fi books that should be adapted” column and I was a little bit stuck on what the last book should be. Call it an editorial writer’s block, if you will. Now, some of you might consider this to be lazy or uncreative, but I stand by this choice. If you were to list some of the best Science Fiction that’s ever been written, some of Philip K.Dick’s novels would likely show up a time or two, at the very least.
It isn’t unprecedented for a Dick novel to be adapted for a movie. Some of the more popular movies that have been a Philip K. Dick novel are Total Recall, Minority Report, Blade Runner, and The Adjustment Bureau. These are just a small handful of movies »

Hannibal Classics has set Danny Glover, Peter Stomare, Aubrey Peebles, Patrice Cols and Max Fowler to join Nicolas Cage in the action thriller Tokarev. The film, which starts June 8 in Alabama, marks the American debut of Spanish helmer Paco Cabezas. Cage plays a reformed criminal whose daughter is kidnapped by the Russian mob. To find her, he must leave his respectable life behind, round up his old crew and seek his own brand of justice. Funding comes from Union Patriot Capital Management LLC. Image Entertainment has acquired North American rights and the Hannibal Classics sales division is selling it around the world. “We couldn’t be happier with our cast, a combination of audience favorites and fresh young talent, said Riionda Del Castro. Danny and Peter are recognized and loved all over the world. And in Max Fowler, Aubrey Peeples and Patrice Cols we feel we have found the stars of tomorrow. »

If you follow Sylvester Stallone on Twitter, you notice one recurring theme to his tweets: Expendables 3. Sly knows where his bread is currently buttered and so has been tantalizing fans with little updates like "Calling Seagal." And while Steven Seagal is a no-brainer addition to the next Expendables adventure, the tweet below has us much more intrigued. A young Sigorney Weaver anywhere out there?. Sylvester Stallone (@TheSlyStallone) May 18, 2013 The Expendables movies have brought together some of the best action heroes past and present to rumble in a franchise overstuffed with muscle and testosterone. But the success of the films is inspiring dueling spin-offs that will essentially be a woman version (one actually called.ugh.Expendabelles). To date, Nicolas Cage, Jackie Chan and Wesley Snipes have been considered as additions to the beefed up ensemble of Expendables 3, but could the tweet above mean Sly is bringing some female star power into »

I love The Expendables franchise like I love Bruce Willis’s beautiful bald head: with no bounds. What is there not to love about sexagenarians hopped up on steroids blowing stuff up by the sheer force of their masculinity? No, seriously: The Expendables rocks. The Expendables 2 was equally awesome, and of course I have nothing but high hopes for The Expendables 3. If man behind the explosions, Sylvester Stallone, has anything to say about it, we’ll soon be adding one more badass to our badass list.
Stallone recently Tweeted that he’s been speaking to ‘Steven S.’ about The Expendables 3, which Mr. S. is totally into, ‘if the part fits.’ Steven S., in all likelihood, is none other than perhaps the only badass not to get in on the action yet: Steven Seagal. If Seagal joins the cast of The Expendables 3, he’ll be following in »

When film directors stage a scene from the mid-1970s, we all know how it’s done: They’ll clear everything out of a shot — commercial signage, etc. — that violates the period, and then they’ll plunk down a bunch of 1970s parked cars. Yet what they end up with still doesn’t usually look like the period — it looks prefab — and watching Blood Ties, a rivetingly scuzzy and authentic New York cops-and-crime drama (it’s set in 1974), starring Clive Owen as a hard case who has just gotten out of prison and Billy Crudup as his straight-arrow policeman brother, »

The USS Enterprise picked up steam throughout the weekend, despite a somewhat unimpressive start. Early estimates show that J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness (CinemaScore: A) could bring in $70.6 million on the three-day weekend, and $84.1 million for the four and a half days that it has been open. Though nothing to scoff at, it’s still underperforming according to initial projections which hoped for a $100 million extended weekend and $80 million on the three-day.
The first Star Trek of the Abrams era opened in early May of 2009 and made an impressive $75.2 million on its first weekend out of the gates, without the benefit of 3-D surcharges. »

When it comes to the subject of “acting,” there are no set rules. As the saying goes, one man’s Nicolas Cage is another man’s Laurence Olivier. Or, at least, that’s how the saying would go had I not just conjured it up out of thin air to help make my point. Fact is, actors appeal to movie-goers for all sorts of reasons, and it’s not always possible to pin down why you like watching a certain actor on the big screen. Ultimately, though, a good actor should be able to make you do one thing: believe.
To claim, then, that somebody was “miscast” in a movie role, seems kind of wrong. Because ultimately, there’s no right way to judge whether or not somebody did a good job, is there? It might just be that you thought they were miscast, after all, and who are you? »

Time to put your horror knowledge to the test, kids! Did you know that Robin Hardy's 1973 British horror classic The Wicker Man was based upon David Pinner's 1967 novel Ritual? Now, decades later, Pinner has wrapped up work on his official sequel.
The news is coming via the pages of Rue Morgue Magazine, who recently sat down with Pinner for an interview. "I've just completed the sequel to Ritual, after all these years, called The Wicca Woman," says Pinner. "The children who are in Ritual are grown up in this. It's set 30 years later just before the millennium."
Those are all the details we have right now, but if we had to guess, we'd say that it's a pretty good bet that this sequel has nothing to do with either Nicolas Cage or the bees which stung his eyes. Stay tuned.

Last Vegas sounds like a rather innocent little comedy from director Jon Turteltaub in which three old friends (Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline and Robert De Niro) decide to throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one of them who has remained single played by Michael Douglas. Of course, I can't seem to get The Bucket List out of my mind every time I think of this movie. The script was written by Dan Fogelman whose work includes Tangled and Crazy, Stupid, Love so, really, this could turn out any myriad of ways considering, at the helm is the director of The Sorcerer's Apprentice and the National Treasure films. Speaking of which, how did Nicolas Cage not land a role in this one? Check out the first trailer below and let me know what you think in the comments, Last Vegas hits theaters on November 1. »

It looks like Frank Miller's comic book Hard Boiled is finally going to make its way to the big screen! Way back in 2001, David Fincher was attached to direct an adaptation of comic with Nicolas Cage in the lead role, but it never happened. It sure would have been interesting to see Fincher's take on it. The last thing we heard about the project was that Miller was going to direct it himself after he was finished with Sin City 2, but it looks like that isn't happening either.
During a recent interview with Bleeding Cool, South African director Mukunda Michael Dewil revealed that he's going to adapt it. You might not be familiar with Dewil yet, but he directed the film Vehicle 19, which is the other car movie that Paul Walker stars in. It has yet to be released. Anyway, here's what the director had to say: »

Sylvester Stallone took to his Twitter account last night, revealing a barrage of information regarding The Expendables 3. The actor/producer says that he is 'raiding' the The Raid: Redemption cast (most likely star Iko Uwais), and then teased that Jackie Chan is also joining the cast. He confirms that Mickey Rourke and Wesley Snipes are pretty much on aboard as well, but as we've seen with this franchise, anything can and will change at the last minute. Take a look at this series of tweets, then read on for more information.

It's been rumored for a while, but it looks like it's actually happening, per Deadline: Al Pacino and David Gordon Green are teaming up. As reported a while back, the unlikely duo are pairing up on "Manglehorn," which will see Pacino as "an eccentric man who tries to come to terms with a past crime that cost him the love of his life." While Pacino's been doing some solid work on HBO, it's a full decade since his last great big screen performance (in Christopher Nolan's "Insomnia"), so the team up with Gordon Green couldn't have come soon enough, especially as we're hearing good buzz on "Joe," his next film, with Nicolas Cage. Photography will get underway in October Meanwhile, Zach Braff doesn't just have his Kickstarter funding, he now has $10 million in other financing for his "Garden State" follow-up "Wish I Was Here," and is coasting towards production. »
