Turning your favorite television show into glamorous movies seems to be the new trend in Hollywood. I call it the SATC Syndrome, after, of course, the Sex and the City movie.
But the latest show-to-movie rumor revolves around my very best friends. Yes, that's right. According to British reports, the gang will supposedly reprise their roles, under the right circumstances, within the next 18 months. At least that's what industry insiders are saying.
There originally was speculation that Jennifer Aniston had become too famous to play Rachel again, but those rumors seem to be false.
"She and Courteney [Cox] have already talked this summer about what they want out of a Friends movie, and if deals can be made with them, everything else can fall into place rather quickly," a source told The Daily Mail.
While this is all still a rumor, The Daily Mail also reported that Warner Brothers will be the studio producing what I deem a highliy anticipated reunion with the Geller-Bing-Green-Tribbiani-Buffay clan. Does a production company attached to the project mean there's at least a little truth to the gossip?
I'll be there for you 'Cause you're there for me too
Hopefully they will be!
So I'll put it right out there: I didn't expect Get Smart to be any good. While I'm a fan of Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, I was a bit weary of little ol' Steve since his not-so-smart venture into Evan Almighty, the un-funny sequel to the hilarious Bruce Almighty.
But I digress. Now, while I've never seen an episode of the television show, my sources parents tell me that it was funny, so I was actually VERY surprised with the turnout of Get Smart, and couldn't stop myself from laughing throughout the entire film.
Steve plays Maxwell Smart, a man so desperate to be an agent, his antics to achieve that goal leave you wondering why on Earth you'd want him to protect you. Steve certainly made the character his own, delivering his lines in a sarcastic, yet somewhat monotone voice that could only be Steve Carell. But almost too quickly into the film, Marqwll is give the position of Agent 87 and is immediately sent on a mission alongside Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway).
Ali Lohan, who currently stars on the reality show Living Lohan, is reportedly in talks to star in the remake of the movie Troll.
Mini Lohan auditioned for the role of Eunice St. Clair last week, and according to these reports, director John Carl Buechler is really fighting for her and she's his first choice.
The director said, "She was great. The camera loves her. She's a really good actress."
Um, what the director said about Ali isn't exactly thrilling news. I mean, those short, choppy sentences? Sounds as if he was reading from Dina Lohan's cue card.
Whatever the case may be, it will be very interesting to see Ali star in this remake. if it goes through, that is.
Your favorite blue '80s cartoon is on its way to theaters! I mean, is it really such a surprise? The creativity in Hollywood is sort of slacking these days.
Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures (who obtained film rights) are talking about creating a live action and animated film featuring the Smurf Village, Papa Smurf, and the rest of the blue gang. Oh, and David Stern and David Weiss, who wrote the second and third installments of Shrek are in talks to write the screenplay.
"The Smurfs are one of the best-known franchises, and among the most beloved collection of characters in the world," Columbia co-president Doug Belgrad said. "We're very excited to introduce a new generation to Papa Smurf, Smurfette and the other smurftastic Smurfs in all of their 'three-apple-tall' glory."
That's all fine and dandy and fans of the show will be heading to the theatres in droves. But what about the young people who can hardly remember the television show? Will they want to watch a bunch of little blue people running around?
Is it doomed to suffer the same fate as Speed Racer all because of an age gap?
