Film Junk Weekend Wrap-Up: May 11, 2008

Can you believe that is Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Banks on the cover of Entertainment Weekly? I have to admit, I was a little unsure about Brolin playing Bush, but hats off the make up wizards who made that happen. This week we finally got confirmation that a Bioshock movie was happening, with Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski heading it up. Another unnecessary sequel and another unnecessary TV to movie adaptation were announced, and Marvel continues to ride the wave of success from Iron Man with four new comic book movies in development. Bad news this week for Terminator fans, as it looks like part 4 will be rated PG-13 (big surprise), and also, bad news for Scarlett Johannson fans as it looks like she is now officially off the market! Ryan Reynolds, your popularity just went straight down the tubes.

Yeah the ScarJo story hit me the hardest this week. Total heartbreak.
Posted by Henrik on May 11th, 2008Anyone else get the feeling that this whole Josh Brolin/George W. Bush movie, like ScarJo’s engagement to Ryan Reynolds, is a bad idea?
