Jennifer Lopez to Star in Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego Movie?

4 November 2011 7:07 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

It may sound like a joke, but as it so often goes in Hollywood, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Walden Media (aka the folks behind The Chronicles of Narnia movies) are putting together a new family adventure film that revolves around a popular video game. No, we're not talking about Uncharted or anything from the current generation... we're talking about Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, the educational video game from the 1980s! You remember it, right? The one that teaches you geography while trying to catch a ring of thieves plundering the world's greatest treasures? Jennifer Lopez is on board to produce and possibly star as the title character which probably means this project is doomed before it even starts. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego has experienced a recent resurgence of sorts after a new Facebook version of the game was launched by The Learning Company and Blue Fang Games. »

Listen Up, Boppers: Cinematic music playlists!

13 July 2011 4:20 PM, PDT | Trailers from Hell | See recent Trailers from Hell news »

…the only thing we can do is play the song.

Alright now. For all you boppers out there in the big web city, all you internet people with an ear for action, I’ve got something for you. It’s a special for that real live bunch from Coney. (And there ends my near-aimless, only-amusing-to-me riff on Lynne Thigpen in The Warriors.)

The Cinefamily (hosts of our mighty live event) have — on their excellent and revamped website — just launched a new, monthly podcast dedicated to the deepest and best soundtrack cuts. It’s a full hour of music that’s great all the way through. Here’s what you get in the podcast, hosted by The Cinefamily’s Bret:

Son of Dracula – Daybreak (Harry Nilsson)

The Cannonball Run – Cannonball (Ray Stevens)

Perfect Strangers – I’m A Shadow on the Walls of the City (Michael Minard)

——

Lifeforce – Theme (Henry Mancini)
