Spider-Man 4 new information

Because of a misunderstanding between Sony Pictures and the stage director Sam Raimi, the production of the fourth movie of Spider-Man franchise was cancelled.

It seems that Raimi would like to have as antagonist the infamous Vulture. The original story of the third part should have Sandman as a cell colleague for Vulture, but, after the common escape of the two’s, Vulture forced Sandman to commit murders. The studio didn’t accept the idea and wants to put on screen the famous Venom, this way the Vulture idea had a very short way into the trash basket because of the pressures made by Marvel. We all know which was the ending of these debates.

Here we see producers trying again to convince Raimi to bring into  the movie scene a villain with more public attraction than unfortunate Vulture.

But all these can be considered rumors on a theme, because, officially, the production of Spider-Man 4 got stopped for the simple reasons that winter celebrations are on the way. Another words, there aren’t reasons for us to worry for Spidey’s destiny.

Alex Proyas talks about “The Crow” remake

The Crow

Sometimes we can find days in which we can say that hope still exists for Hollywood. Even if initially the remake for The Crow was possible, today I bring in front of you that stage director Alex Proyas doesn’t want to make a remake.

After an interview with Alex Proyas which is promoting now his new film Knowing, Digitalspy.com announces that Proyas is against a remake for The Crow.

Alex Proyas stated: “I have nothing to do with The Crow remake. Another persons are occupied with something like this and not even in my biggest nightmare I didn’t want to make a remake. Concerning me I consider that The Crow is Brandon Lee’s movie. For this reason we finished the movie. It is a movie in Brandon’s memory. So this idea of a remake is ridiculous and I don’t want to hear of something like this, as continuations or TV series didn’t interest me.”

This decision is a smart one and worthy of applauses for Proyas, who seems he doesn’t want to be a part of the recycling current of Hollywood. The Crow character appertains to Brandon Lee, as Joker will be Heath Ledger’s.

Chuck Norris for the presidency !

Chuck NorrisChuck Norris counted to infinitum two times, he was born before his parents, he even crashed a plane with his finger, saying just “Bang!” but, Chucky just surpassed himself, he is walking on Schwarzenegger’s footprints and wants to be involved in politics. Thinking we are talking about Chuck Norris, don’t believe that a governor spot is enough. He goes straight to presidency.

For the ones we put in fog, now comes the explanations. Indeed time has passed from presidential elections, and Barack Obama is 100% president of USA, but our Texan ranger wants to claim his rights over the Texas state. So, after he made a joke that he would candidate for the place of president for the “free” state Texas, which actually isn’t free anymore, he left aside his jokes and decided he wants to convince everybody that Texas deserves to be separated from USA and become Independent Texas Republic, because it was never a part of USA (as he claims), and that he deserves to be president.

What is going out from all this agitation? We can’t know for sure. What do we know is that there is a petition for sustaining him which you can access here and a special site created for his sustaining him as a candidate which can be accessed here.
