Doc, About the Future…

Note: Currently watching Back to the Future and made the post title as Michael J. Fox said it. I am proud of myself.

If you haven’t read the movie news too much, there is a whole lot going on. The most surprising?:

• Emma Stone is Gwen Stacy in the new Spider-Man reboot. I’m as surprised as you are and just about everyone else. I would think she would be better as MJ. I also noticed a bit of confusion as a couple of websites got it wrong and confirmed her as MJ. She's also natural blonde. I don’t understand the world anymore…
• Superman has a new director and is indeed one of Christopher Nolan’s top choices to direct the movie. The man in question is Zack Snyder. Now bare in mind even if this news may not be so bad. I mean Chris Nolan is the producer here and may prevent Zack Snyder from doing so many slo-mo scenes. Or at least limit them as in Watchmen. At least the script sounds really promising. Kneel before Zod.
• This is probably the most interesting news I heard all of today. Apparently Japan is filming their own Paranormal Activity sequel or a “parallel sequel.” I don’t think I have ever heard of this being done. At least not in this fashion. To learn about the whole thing on this you can read about it here.
• Halo is again, trying to be made into a movie as DreamWorks tries to buy the rights for the project. So it again is not dead. I wonder how many times its tried to be reanimated. Stuart Beattie has also said he would like to help out with the project. Please DreamWorks don’t let him.
• In Blu-ray partial news: Director Edgar Wright has made his own Scott Pilgrim vs. the World custom Blu-ray set. It is awesome and I really want it to be real. If it was he may have to pay royalties to Nintendo though. We will just have to wait and hope. For now all we get are awesome blurry pics:

• Will the Hobbit ever be made? Will Peter Jackson direct? Did a greedy society burn down part of the Hobbit set? Will MGM have enough money to make both Hobbit and James Bond 23? Stay tuned as word will come soon what will become of the Hobbit as well as an inevitable documentary will soon be in the works.
• Panasonic made their own ultra portable laptop apparently which will have Linux (not the official OS yet) and will play MMO games. I don’t know how this will be with the small screen since last time I checked MMO’s are very text heavy (i.e. WoW). If Star Wars: TOR works well on this I may be intrigued to buy this.
• I was originally going to make this the picture of the day because of how awesome it is. But I Lol’d at this Medal of Honor paradox:

• I also almost failed to mentioned the new Transformers movie with its subtitle: The Dark of the Moon. Just call it the “Dark Side of the Moon,” to get it over with, and hope Pink Floyd won’t sue.
