Film Junk Weekend Wrap-Up: Monsters vs Aliens TV Series, Martin Luther King Jr. Biopic, Easy Rider Sequel
In case you’ve been away for the past couple of weeks, here’s a recap of some of the top stories from around the movie blogosphere, and a bunch that we just didn’t have time to post about. A lot of people have been freaking out over a so-called scam that IMAX has been perpetuating lately, meanwhile a few big casting rumours have followed the announcement of Martin Scorsese’s Sinatra biopic, and Hollywood has dreamed up some of their stupidest ideas yet including an American Gladiators movie. New trailers popped up for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes and the big screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, plus someone is making a sequel to Easy Rider, and Tarantino might be teaming up with Sharon Stone?

Remember that bathtub scene w/ Sigourney Weaver in “Ghostbusters 2″? Well, maybe we can get another one w/ Eliza Dushku.
I love the idea of Speilberg making a film based on MLK, its definitely a story that needs to be told.
