What’s The Greatest Movie Summer Ever?
We’re gonna post 6 of the greatest movie summers - reblog your favourite!
1991
Terminator 2: Judgment Day: James Cameron arguably started his habit of making groundbreaking event pictures with this sci-fi sequel. To this day, the CGI continues to impress, as does the beating heart beneath the hyperalloy combat chassis.
Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves: For the last 30 or so years, the ‘swashbuckler’ seems to be a difficult subgenre to get right, but Prince Of Thieves nails it, with action and scale to spare, and one of Alan Rickman’s many great villains, the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Thelma & Louise: This ladies-on-the-lam movie may not immediately feel like a Ridley Scott flick, but the director’s fingerprint is visible in the striking vistas, large-scale action and gutsy characterisation.
Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey: There was existential searching aplenty in this most excellent of sequels. The time-screwing plot, in which the eponymous slackers try to outdo Death, is a head-scratcher, but it’s just one facet of the movie’s goofy charm.
Point Break: In what was an annus mirabilis for Keanu Reeves-based bromances, Kathryn Bigelow’s tale of wave-riding bank robbers took action-buddy antics to a whole new level of awesome. One hell of an adrenaline rush.
Albert Hughes won’t direct live-action Akira remake
Oh dear, Warner Bros isn’t having much luck with its live-action Akira remake.
Hot on the heels of Keanu Reeves’ abandonment of the project, the film has just lost its director, Book Of Eli helmer Albert Hughes.
Deadline put Hughes’ departure down to creative differences, with speculation rife that Hughes grew weary over the studio’s inability to find suitable actors for the film’s lead roles.
Keanu Reeves walks away from Akira adaptation
Keanu Reeves will not play Kaneda in the live-action remake of Japanese manga Akira.
The actor was previously in negotiations with Warner Bros to take on the part, but has decided against playing bike-riding world-saver Kaneda.
Despite the negotiations coming to an abrupt end, Warner Bros are keen to stress that the remake isn’t dead.
“Production on Akira has not halted or been shut down, as the film has not yet been greenlit and is still very much in the development stage,” they say.
“The exploratory process is crucial to a project of this magnitude, and we will continue to sculpt our approach to making the best possible film.”
Keanu Reeves reveals basic plot for Bill & Ted 3
Keanu Reeves has once again spoken out about a third Bill & Ted movie, this time revealing the movie’s general plot. While chatting with MTV, Reeves said that the third movie will – naturally - deal with what happened after first sequel Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey.
“When we last got together, part of it was that Bill and Ted were supposed to have written the song that saved the world, and it hasn’t happened,” he says. “So they’ve now become kind of possessed by trying to do that. Then there’s an element of time and they have to go back.”
Bill & Ted’s Bodacious Rehab
Keanu Reeves says Matrix 4 and 5 3D on the horizon
Keanu Reeves is reportedly keen on returning to one of his most profitable movie franchises by starring in The Matrix 4 and 5. The actor recently appeared at a key notes speech at the London School Of Performing Arts, and one lucky attendee dropped by Ain’t It Cool News, reporting on what Reeves said about possible further Matrixes. According to informant ‘El Nino’, Reeves met with the Wachowskis over Christmas, and they talked to him about a two-film treatment they’d just completed “that would see him return to the world of the matrix as Neo”.
