Chris Columbus Spills on Future Projects

Admit it, folks. Chris Columbus ain't chopped liver in Hollywood. He's directed Mrs. Doubtfire, the first two Harry Potter films, the upcoming Lightning Thief movies and wrote Goonies and the Gremlins. The following is an interview that was just taken with him:

Over the years, there's been lots of talk about doing remakes and/or sequels to some of Columbus' earlier work, the most recent one being a rumor that there were plans of doing a 3D remake of Gremlins. When ComingSoon.net spoke to Columbus at the junket for his new movie Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, he admitted that so far, neither he nor the original film's producer Steven Spielberg had been contacted about it.

"I spoke to Steven Spielberg a couple days ago and said, 'You know, I've been reading on the internet about this 'Gremlins 3D' and no one's approached him either, so I don't know if that's really true," Columbus told us.

That doesn't mean he's completely ruling out doing some sort of sequel or update. "It would be fun to go back and revisit (them). Something like 'Gremlins,' which is a movie I really like, I think it's impossible to recreate in a CGI environment. I think it will inevitably lose some of its charm. Those are edgy Muppets in a sense and you don't want to lose that sense of anarchy that those gremlins had, because behind the scenes are 25 puppeteers making them to come to life."

"'Goonies' would have to be the Goonies on their own as parents and their children doing something," he continued. "But as Steven said, 'How can you really be going underground finding another gigantic pirate ship filled with treasure? What can be the next adventure?'"

What about a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire, his hit cross-dressing comedy starring Robin Williams? "'Mrs. Doubtfire' is an interesting idea for a sequel because it's the one time in film history where you can revisit the character and they'll be the same age 15 years later. Because of the make-up, people can see Mrs. Doubtfire again and nothing has changed about her, which I think is kind of interesting."

Columbus also mentioned he's still in touch with Spielberg regularly and the two of them have been talking about producing a movie together, although it's not likely to be a sequel to one of the movies above.

Interesting. I don't know about a Mrs. Doubtfire 2, but I like a 3D puppets Gremlin movie.

Return To Wall Street

Remember Oliver Stone's 1987 film Wall Street? Well, they're making a sequel to it, 23 years later! As for the trailer and the new image above...well it looks alright. I do like the idea of a man being out of touch for so long that he comes into a different world... but no offense to Shia, but I don't know if he'll work here. We'll see I suppose come April 23rd.

3D Is Getting Twisted

Bill Paxton has mentioned in an interview that a sequel to the 1996 disaster flick Twsiter is in development. Bill says it'll REALLY take avdvantage of the 3D tricks and noodles. I think this cool, but much too late. Still, we'll see I suppose if this comes to fruition.

Bachelor Ride Halted

Rich Ross ocntinues to destroy Disney as he has stoped Wild Hogs 2. Following his scrapping of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and Wedding Banned, this is his 3rd cancellation this month and the 2nd in a week. He really better stop now before he destroys all of Disney's potential cash flow.

The Game Is Afoot

Tron was a nice little 1984 film. However, someone decided that it would work well as an action film. This is the 1st poster for Tron Legacy, the sequel to Tron, From the Comic-Con footage I have seen it looks great. The action actually works and I bet it'll look great in 3D. Could be good. Look at the poster above.

Film Review: New Moon

Last year, I gave Twilight an F+ and called it one of the worst films of the year. However, it did make 192 million dollars, so cue sequel (and trumpets). This time, Edward leaves Bella and this igves Jacob time to enter Bella's life. And they go overseas. To be honest, I fell asleep a few times.

The only thing good about the film is visually, it's mediocore. Some fur looks good and a werewolf is kind of cool anywhere. Oh, and Dakota Fanning is at least trying. The rest seem to know 'I will do 2 more of these so I can just rub it off'. They make Hayden Christian from the Star Wars prequels look like Sean Penn.


But you all knew I hated this movie before you read this review. So go see it if you want to waste 2 hours of your life, go ahead. If not...AVOID!!

Rating: D- or 3.6 out of 10

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN....You FInd The Actor That's Playing Khan?

Star Trek was one of the biggest films of this year, and likely one of my favorites too. Now, they are working on a sequel. Khan may be in it. Who will play him?

Nestor Carbonell, who is on Lost, another J.J. Abrams project (J.J. directed Star Trek and produced Cloverfield and Fringe).

Also, Chris Pine (Kirk) and John Cho (Sulu) say they will return, with more emotional roles. Warp speed there, Sulu!
