Straight From The Horse’s Ass 2
The Editing Room’s Movie News And Rumors: July Edition
Hey gang! I’ve got the inside scoop on more up-and-coming Hollywood monsters! This issue contains some GREAT stuff, most of which I got from some guy who said he was the secondary grip for Pauly Shore’s new film. Apparently he was able to wander around various Hollywood studios because of his status and what he found will shock and astound you!
Please remember that all information here is CONFIRMED and presented as fact. Nothing here is subject to change. Disbelieve these facts at your own risk.
Truckloads of Superhero Flicks!: With the success of the X-Men film (which totally RULES!!! And thank you, Rebecca Romijn for that polite kiss-on-the-cheek at the premiere!) studios are buying up the rights to comic heroes left and right! Set for a release in Summer 2001 is Deathlock, a movie based on some guy with half a head that’s like a robot or something. Also coming soon is Christopher Reeves starring in Superman V: The Quest For Legs. Finally, Artisan picked up the rights to make a movie about Bob The Goon from the first Batman film.
Big Brother The Movie: Based on the wildly popular tv show about ten boring people with no connection to the outside world to make things interesting, Fox is rushing into production on Big Brother The Movie. It will be pretty much the same as the show, except with an actual script. Allegedly, the house is going to be set up so that one of the people doesn’t actually know it’s a show! Jim Carrey is set to star.
Star Wars Episode II: A very perceptive scooper updated us with this tidbit. Apparently Natalie Portman was recently having an interview with Entertainment Weekly. At one point, the interviewer asked “Will the upcoming shoot of Star Wars interfere with your schoolwork?” to which Natalie replied: “Maybe. I hope not. I’ve got a lot of work to do.” There has been wild speculation about what exactly she meant by this comment. Some believe that perhaps she was suggesting that the new film will contain dominant element of hope throughout the movie. Others still believe that her reference to a lot of work may possibly indicate that she will be training to have a lightsaber duel with one of the characters!
Angelina Jolie’s Next: Allegedly, Angelina will be starring in an upcoming movie whose title we do not yet know. The scooper also failed to inform us of the plot but assured us Angelina will be playing her character as “edgy”.
Remake Of Heaven Can Wait in the Works: Apparently Chris Rock is starring in a remake of the excellent Warren Beatty film Heaven Can Wait, originally a movie about a man who died too early and tried to set things right in the life of a rich white fatcat. The twist on this movie is that the man who dies is actually Chris Rock, who is black instead of white, which leads to hilarious racial hijinx!
Schindler’s Pissed: The Wayans Brothers are beginning the first stages of writing this parody of the Steven Speilburg movie about Nazis and stuff. “I was walking along in a video store,” said Marlon Wayans in an interview recently, “and I saw [Schindler's List].. and.. I dunno, it was just asking for a biting satire involving large numbers of dick jokes. The premise will be that this guy named Schindler is pissed off because he hasn’t gotten laid in a week so he hires mercenaries to put attractive women in small camps so he can have sex with them. It’s a hoot.”
That’s it for this month guys! Happy moviegoing!
