Film Junk Weekend Wrap-Up: July 14, 2008
Iron Man fans breathed a sigh of relief this week since it looks like Jon Favreau has finally signed on for the sequel, meanwhile Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. has landed an interesting role in Guy Ritchie’s upcoming Sherlock Holmes movie. New trailers for Max Payne and Hell Ride hit the web, and an online petition has started a movement to get Tara Reid a role in the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake… who knows how or why. Also, a few new sports comedies were announced last week that surprisingly don’t involve Will Ferrell, and someone “discovered” Michael Bay’s rejected script for The Dark Knight. Oh my… just think, what could have been!

Lol on that fake Michael Bay script.
Posted by Ryan M. on July 14th, 2008I got about halfway through the first sentence of the fake Michael Bay Dark Knight script before I realized it was a fake, but it was pretty damn funny nonetheless.
