Rama’s SCREEN

Here are some of the spoilers that some of today’s movie stars have said about their upcoming movies and my comments on them. I encourage you add a comment too.

1). Edward Norton talked to the Sun newspaper that his upcoming summer blockbuster movie THE INCREDIBLE HULK has nothing to do with the first Hulk movie which was directed by Ang Lee and starring Eric Bana. He also mentioned that he turned down the green giant hero offer before.

“When the phone rings and someone says, ‘Hey, would you be interested in the big green guy?” there’s that part of all of us that doesn’t want to look like an idiot,” he admitted.
“There’s the wince factor or the defensive part of you that recoils at what the bad version of what that would be. And I did that, basically. I said ‘no’ to it a couple of times.”

Well I’m glad he’s on board and he stated that this will not be the last we see him as Dr. Bruce Banner, meaning there will be more sequels to come.
A little too eager, isn’t it? We even haven’t seen how good this version’s going to be…
The question I’d ask Ed if I were the interviewer would be about the Avengers movie. I’d ask him to see if he’s interested in getting involved in the plan to incorporate all Marvel comic superheroes into one awesome movie.

2). Jason Statham, the new superstar of the decade. I think it’s fair to say that because ever since he showed up on the big screen 10 years ago, his movies have always been about gunfights, less talk and more action. He talked to movieweb about his upcoming movies Death Race and Transporter 3 which will be filmed in Paris. What I want to know is what happens to THE BRAZILIAN JOB, the sequel project to The Italian Job??

It is not happening, you know? If it does happen, we’ll all go, “J**us!” Cause we don’t expect it too. Because it has been stagnant for so long. It needs some dynamite under it to make it move. I am very happy to do it. I would love to work with Mark Walberg again. That was a great little group of people we had, there. That one is on the back burner. Once it is on the front burner, we will get busy. For now, we have two films lined up. If it came next week, we wouldn’t be able to do it.

One film of his that I’m not really expecting but there’s no way of stopping it from being made is Crank 2. In his chat he didn’t reveal how his character could still manage to stay alive after a drop that high in the first movie but he did say.

Crazy times. You thought the last sex scene was funny. Wait to you see the one in this.

For those of you who may not have watched the first movie CRANK, his character and actress Amy Smart had sex in public to get his adrenaline pumping so he wouldn’t die from the poison he’s been injected with.
What now?… sex in public restaurants, public restrooms, public schools… have they no shame?

3). Jessica Alba talked to comingsoon.net about Sin City 2 but she said she hasn’t seen the script yet. When asked the movie version of her short lived television series Dark Angel, she said..

We’ve talked about it, I want to work with Jim [James Cameron] so I would pretty much do anything he wants to do.

And by that I’m sure James Cameron would have projects for her that don’t require any kind of acting.
About Fantastic Four 3, she said she doesn’t have an idea, duh! And this writer’s strike could put this kind of project on hold.
About the idea of her fantastic four character becomes a mother she said..

Little Franklin? Yeah, I think that would be hilarious. He’s so powerful, I think that would be a really interesting dynamic a mother-child dynamic. She’s still a superhero but she’s super protective and he’s wild, he can do anything and has no sense of what’s appropriate, that would be really fun.

I can see it now… little baby Jessica pulls her mother’s dress, Jessica Alba looks down to see her baby say, “Mommy, mommy… how come you only make bad movies??
