As I reported on back in the fall, the sequel to the cult-classic horror-adventure film The Lost Boys dubbed “The Tribe” has been released by MTV and has since been distributed to many other various video hosts since.

As can be seen, Corey Feldmen indeed reprises his role as Edgar Frog, “Surf Board Shaper and Vampire Hunter”. Reports also state that Corey Haim is back as Sam Emerson, and Jamison Newlander as Alan Frog. Gerard McMann, who recorded the song “Cry Little Sister” for the first film, recently announced he has recorded several new songs for the sequel’s soundtrack. The flick as a July release date, and hopefully won’t suck (no pun intended) as much as it may appear at first glance.

The quality of Superman movies varies greatly. Defenders even have trouble justifying The Quest For Peace.
But the quality of Superman music has been pretty much completely good. John Williams original score and the composers who followed him universally captured the Last Son of Krypton without words or images. Now Film Score Monthly is going forth with a limited to 3000 edition 8CD box set of every note from the Christopher Reeve Superman movies and selections from the 1988 Superman Animated Series.
Its currently on sale for $119.95 via Screen Archives Entertainment. If you’re interested, buy it now, because once they tick 3000 orders its done.

As seen on Anime News Network, Leonardo DiCaprio has been announced to produce Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira manga into two live-action films; one set for a 2009 release, and another that has yet to have it’s release date projected.

“Each film will cover three volumes of the renowned science-fiction manga about a governmental genetic project and a teenager’s attempt to save a fellow biker gang member.

The manga set in Neo-Tokyo, a city rebuilt after being destroyed in a mysterious explosion. Otomo directed his own animated film adaptation that premiered on July 16, 1988 — the same day that the story has the fictional Tokyo being destroyed. The first live-action film is scheduled for release in the summer of 2009 and will move the story’s setting to “‘New Manhattan,’ a city rebuilt after being destroyed 31 years ago.” “

So, it looks like not only will we be getting DiCaprio as a producer, they’re also going to try and adapt the original plot and premise to suit American ideals. Because that’ll go over well with fans of the anime movie and manga, I’m sure.

Warner Brothers originally had rights to the movie, until Executive Vice-President Greg Silverman (300, Batman Begins) had to re-acquire them from Kodansha after a large bidding war ensued. Ruairi Robinson will be making his feature directorial debut with this project, and Gary Whitta (Book of Eli) is taking the reigns of script-writing. Nothing has been mentioned about casting as of yet. Looks like we’ll all have to keep our eyes on this one, though I wouldn’t hold out much hope.

Going directly to DVD just before The Dark Knight this summer will be a new DC Universe animated movie featuring the cast of the Christopher Nolan live action films.
Six anime shorts, all produced by DC animation guru Bruce Timm and written by Josh Olson, David Goyer, Brian Azzarello, Greg Rucka, Jordan Goldberg, and Alan Burnett. Each segment will have its own direction and art style and produced in Japan. Think of it like the Animatrix, but with Batman.
The story will supposedly play out in continuity following the events of Batman Begins but before The Dark Knight. Deadshot, Killer Croc, and Scarecrow are confirmed villains.
Thanks to Rabban for the heads up.

After showing on Good Morning America this morning, and set to run in front of Spiderwick Chronicles all weekend, the anticipated first teaser for the 4th entry in the Indiana Jones series is on the web.

Its been a hard couple months, but the writers will go back to work on Wednesday. Its hard to say what shows from this season can be saved and what will just have to wait to come back in fall, but late night talk shows can finally breath a sigh of relief and all the movies that have been held from production since November can finally get the scripts done and go into shootings.
Transformers 2 should go into production in June as planned, LOST should get some more new episodes before the end of the year, and GIJOE will hopefully get a drastic re-write to not suck. Mercifully, Justice League remains cancelled.

Writers’ union backs deal to end Hollywood strike

I’ve been hearing about this movie for a long time, and now I finally see a trailer. Bruce Campbell is the definition of a Geek God, and he’s a king of b-movies. In this film he’s playing himself and is charged with ridding a small town of an ancient Chinese demon. Looks like he’s playing with not only his own self image but that of movie stars in general. And even though the plot is ripped off Three Amigos, I’ll still see it.

I know. I know. Its not Hulk 2! Its the Incredible Hulk. Regardless of how you choose to refer to this movie, it appears some images have surfaced
of some of the toys from an ad. This ad brings us our first look at Abomination, the Hulk’s foil in the new movie starring Edward Norton as the Hulk’s alter-ego, Bruce Banner. Abomination, also known as Emil Blonsky, will be played by Tim Roth. Here is a picture of what Abomination is more traditionally known for looking, along with an image with more of the ad than just Abomination.
 

Also released on Friday was the new teaser poster for the movie.
