When I think of Starship Troopers, I think of Casper Van Dien. When I think of Starship Troopers 2, the only thing that comes to mind is silence, confusion and bewilderment. That’s probably because no one was really aware of the existence of a Starship Troopers 2 (which was actually directed by visual effects wizard Phil Tippett and went straight-to-DVD) until the recent announcement that there would be a third film, titled Starship Troopers: Marauder. But unlike the second film, which starred Billy Brown (whose most prolific role at that point was as the voice of Rhino in The Wild Thornberrys Movie), Marauder will bring back Johnny Rico, otherwise known as Casper Van-fuckin’ Dien. http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/
Doomsday images are like a virus in the internet
Now that the 2008 movie slate is in full swing, Universal Pictures has released a series of new images for the upcoming Neil Marshall helmed DOOMSDAY, which hits theatres on March 14. Although a number of images have already hit the internet, the latest round of stills give us hope that the film will be a cooler than average estrogen fuelled urban actionfest within a world threatened by the deadly Reaper virus. Although we highly doubt the tone of the film will be as serious in nature as Children of Men, the burned out and flaming transport vehicle reminds of the rampant chaos within last year's critical Clive Owen hit. http://www.thedeadbolt.com
Spielberg Decline Digital Indiana Jones
Have you seen a film projected digitally? Are you lucky enough to have a local theater specializing in this new projection format? Well, if you are and you happen to be anxiously awaiting the arrival of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (and honestly, who isn’t?), you will not be able to see Indy’s latest adventure in said format as reported over at JoBlo. It’s OK to sob a little, I know how you feel. http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/
