Driver was picked by JJ Abrams over Michael Fassbender and Hugo Weaving. INDEPENDENCE DAY 2---Jeff Goldblum confirmed he's in talks to return for the sequel, "Yeah, they've talked to me about it and I've talked to them about it and they're excited and I'm anxious and eager to see — I haven't read anything — what they cook up. You know, I think they're trying to put it together." He added that he was not asked to return for the JURASSIC WORLD sequel to JURASSIC PARK. SIN CITY 2: A DAME TO KILL FOR---first art released for the sequel which stars Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin, Eva Green, Christopher Meloni, Ray Liotta and Stacy Keach star. Premiere is August 22. ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING---Kate Beckinsale has joined the cast of the Terry Jones comedy movie in which aliens give powers to a teacher so that all of his wishes come true. Simon Pegg, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, Robin Williams and Joanna Lumley also star. THE BOY---horror movie underway starring Rainn Wilson, David Morse, Zuleikha Robinson and Mike Vogel. The movie is the first of a trilogy about the making of a serial killer from childhood to adult. MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE---director candidates are Jeff Wadlow (KICK-A**-2), Harald Zwart (THE KARATE KID), Chris McKay (THE LEGO MOVIE) and Mike Cahill (ANOTHER EARTH). SUSAN COOPER---Jason Statham will co-star with Melissa McCarthy in this comedy spy movie. THE ARSENIO HALL SHOW---the show was renewed for Season 2. ZOMBIE SAFARI---horror movie underway in which is set in the future after a zombie apocalypse. A billionaire opens a zombie safari park where participants can hunt zombies, but after a power blackout, the zombies escape, and the hunters become the hunted.    Posted:   Feb 27, 2014 - 12:07 PM     By:   CindyLover   (Member) SIN CITY 2: A DAME TO KILL FOR---first art released for the sequel which stars Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin, Eva Green, Christopher Meloni, Ray Liotta and Stacy Keach star.

Quoted purely to get another look at the Alba.    Posted:   Feb 27, 2014 - 12:16 PM     By:   Mikey   (Member) ZOMBIE SAFARI---horror movie underway in which is set in the future after a zombie apocalypse.

Can't imagine where I could have heard of this story before. *eye roll*    Posted:   Feb 27, 2014 - 12:24 PM     By:   random guy   (Member) didn't know Meloni was in Sin City 2. that's great. and curious to see what Driver does with Star Wars. he's really great on Girls. not that i've seen the show *cough*    Posted:   Feb 27, 2014 - 12:34 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) INDEPENDENCE DAY 2---Jeff Goldblum confirmed he's in talks to return for the sequel, "Yeah, they've talked to me about it and I've talked to them about it and they're excited and I'm anxious and eager to see — I haven't read anything — what they cook up. You know, I think they're trying to put it together." This did not make any sense the last time it was talked about here and it still doesn't. The original movie established that the mothership contained the entirety of the aliens' population and they just roved around using up planets successively. A whole-new alien race, perhaps? Gee, what are the odds? Sucks to be Earth!    Posted:   Feb 27, 2014 - 12:54 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) ZOMBIE SAFARI---horror movie underway in which is set in the future after a zombie apocalypse.

Where have you heard this story before, if I may ask?    Posted:   Feb 27, 2014 - 1:21 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) Well, I love that concept whether it's dinosaurs or zombies on the lose, so give it to me! It's all about atmosphere, this thing.    Posted:   Feb 27, 2014 - 1:50 PM     By:   Mikey   (Member) ZOMBIE SAFARI---horror movie underway in which is set in the future after a zombie apocalypse.

But with zombies instead of dinosaurs.    Posted:   Feb 28, 2014 - 2:54 PM     By:   Mr Greg   (Member) The original movie established that the mothership contained the entirety of the aliens' population Hmmm...seen the original a few dozen times, but not sure I remember this...when do they say that?    Posted:   Feb 28, 2014 - 3:50 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) The original movie established that the mothership contained the entirety of the aliens' population Hmmm...seen the original a few dozen times, but not sure I remember this...when do they say that? It's in the scene where the alien strangles Dr. Okun and a moment later the President can see into its mind during a sort of mental link between them. EDIT: I've forgotten what a cool movie this is. Derivative as you can get, but a sure-fire crowd-pleaser all the same.    Posted:   Mar 1, 2014 - 9:35 AM     By:   Membership Expired   (Member) I'm pretty sure the movie never stated that every single one of it's species is involved in the attacks on Earth. Different ships can move to different planets, increasing the chance of finding worlds with sufficient resources. Just like there is never just one swarm of locusts.    Posted:   Mar 1, 2014 - 11:46 AM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) I'm pretty sure the movie never stated that every single one of it's species is involved in the attacks on Earth. Different ships can move to different planets, increasing the chance of finding worlds with sufficient resources. Just like there is never just one swarm of locusts. The President's comments are that it's the whole alien population. It would be most likely that the President would have said the alien species roams space in several different ships IF that had been the case in the first place. Additionally, no one throughout the entire movie said they feared a future attack, the specter of which obviously would have been present IF there were still more out there. However, I think that your comment is a valid possible interpretation of the line the President spoke. In fact, I myself theorized that that very same explanation could be used as a rationalization for a sequel the last time it was brought up here. It's just that a lot of people who were paying attention to the dialogue could justifiably call BS on twisting words this way. Myself, I wouldn't mind if they did make a sequel using that explanation. Sci-Fi fans allow a lot worse than this on a regular basis.    Posted:   Mar 1, 2014 - 12:09 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) I'm pretty sure the movie never stated that every single one of it's species is involved in the attacks on Earth.

The alien ships were down, but there were still millions if not billions of aliens roaming the planet. They were at best in the middle of a global war as the credits appeared on screen.    Posted:   Mar 1, 2014 - 12:16 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) The ending always bothered me.

Actually, what you are describing wouldn't be a bad jumping-off point for the sequel. Good call. It could pick up where the first one left off, showing all the grueling hand-to-hand combat that would most certainly be happening in places with less weaponry. Maybe the aliens could win in the short term and rebuild their ships, while the humans went "underground" to eventually mount their counter-offensive. But then it sort of starts to tread on "Battlefield Earth" territory. Yikes!    Posted:   Mar 1, 2014 - 3:15 PM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27 STAR WARS: EPISODE VII---Adam Driver (INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS, GIRLS) is in talks to be the sequel's main villain who is "in the vein of iconic villain Darth Vader". Driver was picked by JJ Abrams over Michael Fassbender and Hugo Weaving. Hmmm, an appropriate follow-up to his "outer...space" bit in ILD? Sigh. Does anyone else remember when STAR WARS was simply a stand-alone, fun, exhilarating & jokey Saturday matinee tribute with no back story "universe"?    Posted:   Mar 1, 2014 - 3:38 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) Sigh.

This is standard operating procedure and its omission only shows how two-dimensionally everyone was thinking while making the movie. It would not only have been realistic, but would have added a lot to the film. Then again, it's a piece of shit anyway.     Non-Film Score Discussion: STAR WARS VII, INDEPENDENCE DAY 2, SIN CITY 2    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
