**Another Wyatt Earp Film in the Works **Tim Robbins May Join Dean Koontz Adaptation Odd Thomas **The Dark Knight Rises Shoots in Pittsburgh This Summer

Another Wyatt Earp Film in the Works
Posted: April 5th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


About a month ago, it was reported that Val Kilmer is starring in a Western called "The First Ride of Wyatt Earp," which is currently filming in California and revolves around an elderly Earp sitting down with a reporter to reflect on the ride that made him a legend.


Now comes word that another Wyatt Earp project is now in the works. The new one is called "wild Guns," which is a Warner Bros picture centering on Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday attempting to free Sitting Bull's kidnapped daughter from a shaman.


Warners just confirmed that it acquired the script for the film from writer TS Nowlin, who also recently sold "Columbus" that McG (Terminator Salvation) is attached to helm.

Tim Robbins May Join Dean Koontz Adaptation Odd Thomas
published: 2011-04-05 18:11:44 Author: Mack Rawden
With Charlie Bartlett star Anton Yelchin and Phil Collins’ suddenly popular daughter Lily already on board for the Dean Koontz adaptation Odd Thomas, the project is hardly lacking in name recognition, but it may be about to pick up some serious artistic credibility as well. Academy Award winner Tim Robbins hasn’t committed yet, but he’s reportedly very interested in the project. A deal could be closed shortly.


The novel and its subsequent sequels follow a short order cook named Odd who sees and regularly communicates with the dead. Along with his partner Stormy, he uses this otherworldly link to solve murders, prevent disasters and hang out with Elvis and other deceased celebrities. I’d probably do the same thing. According to Bloody Disgusting, there’s no word on who Robbins might play, but Yelchin will tackle the lead and Collins his sidekick.


Horror films run the gamut between almost intentionally bad to brilliant. Much of it depends on the screenplay, but the importance of the cast cannot be downplayed. The better the cast, the bigger the budget, the more likely a director will be hired who will treat the subject matter with respect. Mummy director Stephen Summers has already been tapped to helm Odd Thomas. He was in charge of Van Helsing; so, he’s already got a bit of experience with creatures that go bump in the night. Let’s hope this hits theaters with more than just a shriek.

The Dark Knight Rises Shoots in Pittsburgh This Summer


The Dark Knight Rises to shoot in PittsburghDirector Christopher Nolan confirmed earlier today that The Dark Knight Rises will be filmed in Pittsburgh sometime this summer. Here's what Christopher Nolan had to say about the Pennsylvania city in a statement, which also confirmed this will be his last Batman movie as a director.




"Pittsburgh is a beautiful city. We have been able to find everything we were looking for here, and I am excited to spend the summer in Pittsburgh with our final installment of Batman."




Dawn Keezer, the director of the Pittsburgh Film Office, revealed the sequel will shoot in downtown Pittsburgh and adjacent areas for four to six weeks, although it isn't clear when production will start in Pittsburgh. Dawn Keezer also said that the director was lured to the city by its architecture.




"They're still nailing down actual locations but what they really fell in love with was the diversity of architecture and the gorgeous buildings that we still have in Downtown Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas."




The Dark Knight Rises production will be a global affair, with shooting already slated to take place in the United Kingdom, Los Angeles, Bucharest, and Detroit. We reported last week that The Dark Knight Rises will be the last Batman movie directed by Christopher Nolan. Warner Bros. plans to reboot the franchise after The Dark Knight Rises, although Christopher Nolan will remain on board as a producer.


The Dark Knight Rises comes to theaters July 20th, 2012 and stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan.

**Val Kilmer to Star in THE FIRST RIDE OF WYATT EARP **Confirmed: Jennifer Lawrence Will Play Katniss Everdeen in THE HUNGER GAMES **First Unofficial Look at Rachel Taylor, Minka Kelly and Annie Ilonzeh as the New CHARLIE’S ANGELS

Val Kilmer to Star in THE FIRST RIDE OF WYATT EARP
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 17th, 2011
Almost twenty years ago, Val Kilmer played one of the most famous gunfighters of all time by saddling up as Doc Holliday in 1993’s Tombstone. Now Variety reports that he’s returning to the Western genre to play another legendary lawman in The First Ride of Wyatt Earp. The film is based on a true story and centers on “an elderly Earp sitting down with a reporter to reflect on the ride that made him a legend, when the young marshal rounded up a posse to track down the outlaw who mistakenly murdered the woman he loved.”


While Kilmer is the goods, the same can’t be said of his young and unknown supporting cast, which includes Daniel Booko (Glory Daze), American Idol contestant Diana DeGarmo, Matt Dallas (Kyle XY), and Wilson Bethel. Producers Barry Barnholtz and Jeffrey Schenck reportedly see the project as a “Young Guns for the next generation.” You know, because Young Guns is such a classic. Hit the jump for my thoughts on Kilmer’s recent movie choices.

Confirmed: Jennifer Lawrence Will Play Katniss Everdeen in THE HUNGER GAMES
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 17th, 2011
Last week, we reported that Oscar-nominee Jennifer Lawrence had been offered the coveted-role of Katniss Everdeen in Gary Ross’ adaptation of The Hunger Games. We explained that even though the character is 16-years-old in the book, Lionsgate wanted to cast older because they believed it was easier to find a bankable lead actor in his early 20s to play opposite Lawrence.


Now The Wrap is reporting, to the surprise of no one, that Lawrence has taken the role. I haven’t read the books yet but I think Lawrence is a good actress and I’m glad to see her get such a high-profile role. Hit the jump for a synopsis of the book. The Hunger Games is set to be released on March 23, 2012.

First Unofficial Look at Rachel Taylor, Minka Kelly and Annie Ilonzeh as the New CHARLIE’S ANGELS
by Ethan Anderton Posted: March 17th, 2011

Back in January we found out that Rachel Taylor, Minka Kelly and Annie Ilonzeh would be our new Charlie’s Angels in the remake of the popular 70’s action series for ABC. Now we have our first unofficial look at the lovely ladies thanks to some photos snapped on the set down in Miami, Florida. In addition to seeing the trio of angels strutting their stuff in some classy white dresses, we also have our first look at Ramon Rodriguez as Bosley, a casting choice that I’m not really all that pleased with to be honest. Anyway, we’ll likely see some photos down the road of the Angels in their action poses, but for now you can check out these first images after the jump:
