Official Titles For The Hobbit Films Released

For some time we've known that The Hobbit will be broken into two parts, but until now, we could only guess as to what the titles would be.

According to The BBC:
   "The first film will be called The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and will be released in December next
   year.

    The Hobbit: There and Back Again is scheduled to be out in December 2013".

"An Unexpected Journey" is paying homage to the first chapter in The Hobbit, entitled, "An Unexpected Party".  There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale was the title given by Bilbo to his memoirs, and apparently was also the original first title to Tolkien's book.

A Day in The Life Of The Hobbit: Benedict Cumberbatch to Do The Voice of Smaug

According to The One Ring, early "unofficial" reports are saying that Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock), will do the voice of Smaug, the dragon.  Everyone is keeping very hush hush, and the actor refused to say more, claiming "I can't say at the moment, than you very much."

Apparently the secret was accidentally leaked by Martin Freeman, who will play Bilbo.  He later told reporters, "I knew I was a sort of a big mouth but I didn't realize to what extent I was a big mouth, and I've just ruined everything. I might not actually go back to a job- they might have just sacked me."

So what do you think?

First Look: David Tennant In 'Fright Night'

Yep, they are remaking the horror classic, Fright Night.  Get your first glimpse of David Tennant as his character, Peter Vincent, (above)!  I can hardly tell that's him. What do you think?

Fright Night is directed by Craig Gillespie and also stars Anton Yelchin (Star Trek), Imogen Poots (28 Weeks Later), and also Colin Farrell (who is also slated for the Total Recall remake)! So does this film really need to be retold, or is this just another Hollywood remake flop?

1st Novelization of 'The Walking Dead'

In between seasons, what is a Walking Dead zombie fan to do?  Go out and get yourself this novelization of the Robert Kirkman franchise, that's what!

 Rise of the Governor, which will be penned by Kirkman himself, as well as horror novelist, Jay Bonansinga (Stoker), will be the first in a trilogy. Amazon describes it as follows:

Following in the footsteps of the New York Times bestselling graphic novels and the record-breaking new television show, this debut novel in a trilogy of original Walking Dead books chronicles the back story of the comic book series greatest villain, The Governor.

In the Walking Dead universe, there is no greater villain than the Governor. The despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury, he has his own sick sense of justice: whether it's forcing prisoners to battle zombies in an arena for the townspeople's amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him. The Governor was voted "Villain of the Year" by Wizard Magazine the year he debuted, and his story arc was the most controversial arc in the history of the Walking Deadcomic-book series. Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover how the Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.

What do you think? Will you be reading this one?

Javier Bardem Will Play Roland Deschain in Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower'

Javier Bardem is slated to star in big screen adaptation of Stephen King's septet, The Dark Tower. The film, which will be helmed by Ron Howard will also be written by frequent collaborator, Akiva Goldsman.  There is speculation that the series will entail (3) films, and will spawn a TV series to boot.

Bardem has the raw grit to carry off the lone anti-hero type (see Bardem's character, Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men if you protest). According to Word And Film,
    
   "Roland Deschain is a character who bleeds complexity and depth. He also combines the kind of hero-antihero duality that's come to define Bardem at his best.  Continuing the family legacy of gentleman gunslingers with metaphysical powers, Deschain is the walking embodiment of the morally ambiguous Western lone wolf who embarks on a heroes' quest to find the fabled titular citadel in order to put an end to the bloody battles ripping across the globe. Along the way, Deschain encounters unending hardships. He comes to question the existence of God, discovers his capacity for love and friendship, and ultimately grapples with issues of reincarnation and the prospect of earning and embracing his own redemption. If there's a big existential dilemma, chances are King found a way to build it into The Dark Tower's kaleidoscopic narrative."

It will be interesting to see this movie made.  Check back for more updates. In the meantime, who would you like to see play opposite Javier?

Original Terminator Cast To Make Come Back?

Last week we brought you news that there had been a pitch for a new Terminator film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Turns out that he is not the only cast member that may come back.

The rumor comes from Latino Review, about the current project titled- Terminator 2012- saying that not only is Arnie attached in his "signature" role, but the "entire original cast" could come back as well.

The report is not very specific, so it is not clear if this includes everyone, or just the majors, specifically- Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) and Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese).  No one, as of yet, has actually become attached, so this is all sheer speculation, at least until the movie has a producer attached.

Latino Review, which claims to have this info from a valid source, goes on to surmise that the new Terminator film would not fit in the continuity of the last several films, suggesting, that we should go back to Terminator 2: Judgment Day as the "starting point".

What do you think?  Should the original cast reunite? Is this rumor too good to be true??
