Hollywood Producer Joel Silver is looking to develop a live-action feature film based on the Cartoon Network series, Ben 10.
Created by Man of Action, (comprised of comic creators Joe Kelly, Joe Casey, Duncan Rouleau, and Steven T. Seagle) the popular franchise is about a boy who acquires a watch-like alien device called the Omnitrix (later the Ultimatrix) attached to his wrist that allows him to turn into alien creatures.
Two live-action made-for-television films were produced for Cartoon Network, but Silver’s potential film will most likely be completely recast.
Deadline is reporting that 20th Century Fox has just closed a deal to bring back Matthew Vaughn to direct the follow-up to the X-Men prequel/reboot, X-Men First Class. In addition to Vaughn, Bryan Singer will be back on to produce.
I can only hope the people behind these fragrances mean for those to be bought purely for novelty’s sake, ’cause I expect they put about as much effort into actually making these smell good as they do any given celebrity fragrance.
Katee Sackhoff will make her return to sci-fi with a role in the upcoming Riddick sequel, which has resumed production in Montreal. Sackhoff will play Dahl, a mercenary that will be hunting Riddick over the course of the film.
Everyone who wants to see a fist fight between Sackhoff and Vin Diesel, raise your hands!!!
In a move that I’m sure will have scores of anime/manga fans running to the nearest mountain top to shout “HALLELUJAH!!!!”, word has come down courtesy of Hollywood Reporter that Warner Bros. is stopping production on their live-action Akira film. The production office in Vancouver has been shut down, with all talent and crew told to stop working. The studio apparently wants to cut 20 million from budget (originally 90 million), as well as resolve casting issues. As it stands, the film is in danger of being shelved altogether.
Anime fans rejoice! The now classic manga and anime series, Rurouni Kenshin, has been adapted into a live-action film in Japan. Rurouni Kenshin is the tale of a young and violent samurai during feudal Japan who killed many in his battles. After the war the samurai turns to a life of non-violence and only fights when provoked. Kenshin uses a sword with a reversed blade so as to only strike with the non-lethal, blunt edge. Details of whether the live-action film will chronicle Kenshin’s violent “Samurai X” years or his adventures in “Rurouni Kenshin” are blurry right now as the movie’s homepage is in all Japanese. Below is the most well-known info to date:
Keishi ?tomo is directing “Rurouni Kenshin” starring 22-year-old actor Takeru Satoh (Kamen Rider Den-O, Rookies, Beck, Ry?maden) as Kenshin. 17-year-old actress Emi Takei plays the heroine Kaoru Kamiya. Yuu Aoi (Hana and Alice, Honey and Clover) plays Megumi Takani, Munetaka Aoki (The Last Message Umizaru, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time) is Sanosuke Sagara, and Taketo Tanaka plays Yahiko My?jin. Kouji Kikkawa (Let’s Dance With Papa) as Jine Ud?, Yosuke Eguchi (Shonan Bakusozoku, Tokyo Love Story) as Hajime Sait?, and Teruyuki Kagawa (From Up On Poppy Hill, 20th Century Boys) as Kanry? Takeda.
