Director Timur Bekmambetov has reportedly figured out a way to raise Angelina Jolie‘s character from the dead for a sequel to the violent male fantasy “Wanted,” but will they be able to afford to pay her?
A movie about a fictional “Soul Train” concert tour is in the works and The Onion’s AV Club rightfully calls the idea something “that sounds like every half-assed dancesploitation movie ever, with some cheap nostalgia thrown in for good measure.”
In more interesting music-related news, a biopic on Beatles manager Brian Epstein is in the works.
USA Today is reporting that Steven Spielberg is now pusuing an adaptation of Michael Crichton‘s posthumous soon-to-be-published novel, “Pirate Latitudes.” Ugh. Screw pirates, what about his much-delayed Abraham Lincoln biopic?
So it turns out that the controversial 1989 high school-set “Heathers” will not be remade as a movie after all. /film says it will be a TV show. Or a TV movie. Either way, bad idea…
Even though its only a couple weeks away, Werner Herzog‘s “Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans,” Atom Egoyan‘s “Chloe,” and Neil Jordan‘s “Ondine” will be screening at the Toronto Film Festival without distribution deals in place. The Toronto Globe and Mail says not to worry, though, they’ll be on somebody’s fall slate soon.
The Playlist says Michael Haneke‘s Palme d’Or winner “The White Ribbon” has been officially chosen as Germany’s representative at this year’s Academy Awards.
By the way, this article about Megan Fox playing Catwoman in the next “Batman” movie is bullshit. People need to simmer down and wait for Christopher Nolan to make his decisions. I trust they will be good ones from what I’ve seen from him so far. If Harry Knowles wants to speculate that it will all be shot in IMAX, let him. I trust Nolan.
And finally, New York magazine’s Vulture blog writes about what good business it is NOT to show your movie to film critics. With the success of “G.I. Joe” at the box office, and both of this weekend’s major horror releases, “Halloween II” and “The Final Destination,” barring us from going, it begs the following question: Would critics have actually liked them?

megan fox is SUPER hot, but is one of the worst known actresses there ever was. WANTED was badass, and look forward to the sequel. i didn’t see it until it came out on dvd, because it looked horribly cheesy, but I was blown away by it. loved it. looking forward to the sequel if it’s true. please people stop comparing fox to jolie. jolie has real talent. fox is just a fox.

Megan Fox is a wax doll. That’s not hot. Wanted was fairly mediocre with a few cool looking shots. Jolie has the talent of an aborted fetus.
