If you thought the G.I. Joe movie looked ridiculous, just wait until you see the first trailer for the Steve Oedekerk Stretch Armstrong movie.  Stretch Armstrong?  I remember that guy! “This is a new well from which to draw intellectual properties that bring a pre-awareness and nostalgia,” Schneir said. “They are drawing filmmakers who find a real emotional connection and resonance, and this is proving to be a compelling driver for motion pictures.” The toy from the 70’s also featured a monster, a dog, and an evil twin brother.  The last time a Stretch Armstrong movie tried to get made,…

Crank 2 really should be named Crank 2: Electronic Boogaloo as that’s exactly what Jason Statham’s character needs to do to stay alive.  The latest movie poster hit the webs, and pretty much tells you what the movie is about. Still want to see it. via Yahoo

Wow.  Never thought I’d see the day where I’d be writing that headline, but it appears to be true as Variety is reporting Brett Ratner and Reliance big Entertainment joining to turn Rob Liefeld’s Youngblood series into a motion picture. Most of the great graphic novels are gone, and ‘Youngblood’ is one of the few comicbooks left with tentpole potential,” Ratner told Daily Variety. “It was a real personal passion project for me, and a lot of people wanted (‘Youngblood’), but the amazing thing about the guys at Reliance is the speed with which they’re able to move.” Really?  The…

Here’s another viral video for the upcoming Watchmen movie, that sends a message to all who would support the vigilante movement – Stop It! Boy, does that bring back memories.

Press Release Zombie Omega, Inc. is pleased to announce The Minions of Ka has been optioned by Monsterfoot Productions. Producers Ahmet Zappa and Christian Beranek have acquired the rights to the critically acclaimed graphic novel with the intent of turning it into a feature film. To commemorate this event, Zombie Omega, Inc. is releasing the entire first chapter of The Minions of Ka on-line at www.minionsofka.com. “This is a very exciting moment for us,” said co-Creator/Writer Michael Furno, “to have the opportunity to see your book made into a movie is about as cool as it gets.”

When an announced movie moves out of the script stage, and the rumors of who will star settle down, I actually start paying more attention to the press releases, when the director is finally attached.  Such is the case with the Warner Bros. DC Comics Green Lantern movie, which has just announced Martin Campbell is in negotiations to helm the superhero flick. The emergence of Campbell, who also helmed two “Zorro” films and the 007 film “GoldenEye,” puts “Green Lantern” at the top of DC properties being set for movie treatment by WB. While the studio is hoping director Chris…

Here’s the French language trailer for the upcoming Dragonball movie. I’ve got a baaaaaad feeling about this.

I wish there was an IMAX theater near here that would show the Watchmen movie.  This visuals for this film look so slick and jaw dropping, that I would love to see it on a screen the size of a building.  Of course, I’m not sure I want to see Doctor Manhattan’s wang in IMAX, but you have to take the good with the bad. via MTV Splash

For those of you that were looking for a new wallpaper for your desktop – BEHOLD!  The group shot of the good guys from the upcoming G.I. Joe movie. Click Image for the bigger picture.

This movie looks like a total cheese fest, full of the impossible and improbably, but damn if I don’t want to see it.

Because it is Friday, and because we’ve got a thing for Kristen Kreuk, we’re more than happy to see high quality images from the upcoming Legend of Chun-Li hit the net. A few more after the jump.

Variety is reporting that John Stevenson (Kung-Fu Panda) will take on the directorial duties for the new He-Man movie produced by Joel Silver.  No word on a release date as the script gets polished, but it is clear Mattel wants this to be a successful motion picture to boost toy sales. via Variety

Last month, Disney announced it wouldn’t continue the Narnia series, leaving audiences wondering what would happen the magical land.  20th Century Fox has negotiated and will partner with Walden film to bring Voyage of the Dawn Treader to theaters during the 2010 holiday season. From what the Hollywood Reporter is stating, the director and producer of the first films are returning, and at least one of the actors will reprise his role as well. via THR

Why haven’t we seen any more Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movies in a while?  The rights reverted back to game creator Eidos a few years ago and apparently there has been a bidding war over which studio would pick up the franchise.  The Hollywood Reporter is noting Time Warner invested more money into the game company, which included the film rights.  Now the studio is trying to put something together for the next generation of movie goers. The new project, however, is expected to revamp the character and her mission and bear little resemblance to the original pictures. It will…
