When I was a kit I watched the re-runs of the old Mission Impossible series, both the 60s and the 80s versions, starring Peter Graves as the leader James Phelps. I know most of us will remember him as the pilot Captain Oveur in David Zucker’s classic spoof movie Airplane! And now sadly we have to refer Peter Graves in past tense because today the screen actor passed away of a heart attack, he was 83 years old.
Thank you for your contribution to the world of cinema, Mr. Graves
Rest In Peace
Can’t wait to see Forest Whitaker battle it out with Jude Law in the upcoming REPO MEN (watch the restricted trailer) looks like one of those bloody pop corn fun action flick.

It went through test shooting, pre-production prep, and last we heard, GREEN LANTERN will be in 3D, although it’s unclear if it’s going to be shot in 3D or it’ll be getting a 3D conversion later on.

Those of you who’ve seen Vantage Point, Traitor, last season of the series Lost, would recognize the man in the image above, Said Taghmaoui. He’s the dude who played Breaker in G.I.

Late last month, Deadline Hollywood reported that Tobey Maguire, will be producing and starring in PAWN SACRIFICE as the legendary chess master Bobby Fischer when he beat Boris Spassky in the 70s. Variety said David Fincher (Fight Club, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button) is attached to direct but their report didn’t say anything about Maguire starring so perhaps that part hasn’t been confirmed yet.
This project will bring Fincher back again with Columbia Pictures which is said to have been quite satisfied with Fincher’s work on the upcoming Facebook biopic THE SOCIAL NETWORK. And as we learned earlier today, the studio and Fincher are also eyeing the remake of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. Fincher is one busy director and I hope Maguire will get to play Bobby Fischer, he could use an Oscar worthy gig now that he’s not playing Spider-Man anymore.

And I thought David Fincher was going to make HEAVY METAL his definite next project because the thought of collaboration of famous directors helming different segments of the anthology is so damn irresistible but since they’re still looking for financier and distributor, surely Fincher won’t say no to another project that might come along. According to Vulture, Fincher is very interested in directing the adaptation of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, developed by Sony Pictures which apparently is quite fond and satisfied with Fincher’s work on the Facebook biopic, THE SOCIAL NETWORK… Read the rest of this entry »
