Casting Notes: Three Musketeers and MIB3

Both Men in Black 3 and The Three Musketeers have had significant cast updates within the past twenty-four hours. Let’s check them out. 

Men in Black 3: Jemaine Clement, the Emmy Award nominated star of Flight of the Conchords, is set to portray a villain in Men in Black 3.

Will Smith and director Barry Sonnenfeld have agreed to return to work with this sequel. However, Academy Award nominee Josh Brolin will be playing the character once portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones since much of the film takes place in 1969.

Clement will portray Boris, a villain who is both creepy and charming. He can be seen in this year’s Dinner for Schmucks and received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his work in last year’s Gentlemen Broncos.

Summit Sets Release Dates for ‘Red 2,’ ‘Ender’s Game’ and More

Summit Entertainment, the youngest of the major studios producing and distributing major films these days, struck gold (or blood?) in acquiring the rights to the “Twilight” series. After launching into the big leagues with Twilight in 2008, the studio brought Best Picture-winner The Hurt Locker to movie theaters the following year. Despite several misteps in terms of box office success, including this year’s flop Drive Angry and this past weekend’s The Three Musketeers, the studio has begun to shape a promising calendar for 2012 and 2013, including a sequel to last year’s Red.

According to Box Office Mojo, Red 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on August 2, 2013, scoring that “last major weekend of the summer” spot which was proved all the more valuable by this year’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Jon and Erich Hoeber, writers of the first film and next summer’s Battleship delivered the initial script for the sequel. It’s unclear who from the original (Bruce Willis, Mary Louise-Parker, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich among other) would return including director Robert Schwentke, who’s now filming R.I.P.D. starring Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges.

The Transporter Refueled Review

Keep the expectations very low for this movie. Better yet, go in expecting nothing. That would probably be a good way to go if you want to take away any enjoyment from the experience. When you hear the title The Transporter, you think three things: car chases, fight scenes, and scantily clad women. Simple enough, […]

Top 10 Movie Robots [Updated]

Neill Blomkamp’s impending Chappie is hardly the first film to feature a robot struggling with accepting its own artificial intelligence, and with a world that refuses to accept its role in “humanity.” While the recently overused plot device seems a bit less imaginative than Blomkamp’s usual faire, it got us thinking about when movie robots […]
