A new Evil Dead movie is in the works

After telling us for years that there would be no Evil Dead 4, Bruce Campbell has finally changed his tune! Many movie news sites reported rumours of another Evil Dead movie, which most fans are used to ignoring, but now Bruce Campbell has confirmed the news on Twitter.

Not a ton of details are known at this time. Will this be a remake or a sequel? Will Bruce Campbell actually star or appear in the film? More importantly, will Ted Raimi have a role?

Bloody Disgusting reports that the director is Fede Alvarez, who is best known for making the following short film:

Fede Alvarez has also written the script which is also being worked on by Juno’s Diablo Cody. Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert will all have a hand in producing the film.

Transformers 3 wishes China’s Communist Party longevity

Here’s a picture of Bumblebee holding a sign that says “Transformers 3 wishes China’s Communist Party longevity” in Chinese.

Bumblebee - Transformers 3 wishes China’s Communist Party longevity

Why is this happening? This all ties in to the film Beginning of the Great Revival, which retells the story of the founding of China’s Communist Party. The Chinese Government obviously wants people to see this, and they achieve this goal by eliminating the competition! Transformers 3’s release was postponed in China in order to allow people to experience this wonderful piece of propaganda without having to be distracted by something they might actually want to do.

Despite this effort to separate people from their freedom of choice in movies, some still wish to see entertaining films. Some theatres have gone so far as to just sell people tickets to this movie regardless of what they actually attend, to ensure the bookkeeping shows it to be a great success.

Freedom, it would seem, is not the right of all sentient beings…

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows trailer

It seems to be a big day for movie trailers. I came across this new Sherlock Holmes trailer while checking some twitter feeds. Looks to be as fun as the first film.



First Dark Knight Rises trailer leaked

We get our first look at the teaser trailer for the Dark Knight Rises. Mostly reused footage and audio from the previous movies, with a short scene with Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) in a hospital bed talking to Bruce Wayne. Its hard to make out what he is saying, but he’s basically telling Bruce, the city needs Batman.

[UPDATE – Crazy] It looks like the video is getting taken down everywhere. I found another one and placed it after the jump, so check it out.

Let us know what you think in the comments!

Did Posh Spice and David Beckham name their daughter after Harper Finkle?

Harper Finkle Wearing an Outfit Made out of her Baby Clothes

A few days ago Posh Spice and her soccer playing husband had a kid, and this is apparently very important. The girl was named “Harper Seven Beckham”, a name which some report was inspired by the character Harper Finkle from the hit TV series “Wizards of Waverly Place“. The name was supposedly chosen by Harper’s older brothers who are big fans of the show. Other potential names for the girl were Alex, Russo and selena<3justin4everXOXOXO but they went with Harper because it "sounded trendier".

Many assume the girl’s middle name, “Seven” is based on the number of David Beckham’s soccer shirt. I was unable to verify this, because the Internet does not offer any pictures of David Beckham actually wearing a shirt. The true story is surely more interesting, as Seven is clearly a reference to the short lived character named Seven from the 7th season of “Married With Children”. I heard some British people say that David Beckham used to play football, so his interest in the show must derive from how impressed he is with Al Bundy scoring 4 touchdowns in a single game. Here’s hoping that the inevitable baby #5 will be named Buck Polk Beckham.

Dark Knight Rises teaser poster unveiled

The first teaser poster has been unveiled for the third movie in the current Batman film franchise. The Dark Knight Rises will feature Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman (as we discussed here) and Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne. Not much more is known about the film and the poster does little to add to that knowledge.
