Film Junk Weekend Wrap-Up: Sept. 7, 2008

Another flurry of rumours got the movie blogosphere fired up this week, including more talk about a live action Ninja Turtles sequel and Tom Cruise in Shrek 4, and finally something solid was announced regarding the long-awaited Ghostbusters sequel. The unfortunate passing of voiceover guy Don LaFontaine left a void in the world of movie trailers, meanwhile Michael Moore announced that he would be releasing a new feature length documentary online for free. Steven Soderbergh’s 4 and a half hour epic Che may have found a home with Magnolia Pictures, and there appears to be some concern about the direction that the next season of 24 is currently heading in. Hey, maybe it’s just time to put Jack Bauer to rest, folks!
