The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: Always look on the bright side of life
MONDAY
Hiddles finally realised his fans are fundraising on his behalf for UNICEF. He’s appropriately thankful and proud of the Hiddlestoners~
And then there was the Mann vs. Machine mode of the Team Fortress game release. And here’s the trailer!
Oh! And there was also a new Lego LotR trailer from the Gamescon. It’s very funny and cute~
So they are already preparing The Expendables 3… and you know who they want? Clint Eastwood. OMG. Also interested in Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, Nick Cage, and they want Mickey Rourke back. Damn, I’m not sure Eastwood or Ford will take it. But Cage totally will… he seems to never turn down a role!
Frank Martin comes back! Yup, the Transporter franchise is not over, only this time it moves to the small screen. Cinemax has released the first trailer for Season 1 and, as you can see, Chris Vance (Prison Break) will replace Jason Statham on this TV version.
Also, we have a possible description of Iron Man 3‘s first trailer, which will feature, among other things, Sir Ben Kingsley’s Mandarin. It is also all rather bleak:
All and all, a somber trailer, dark and humorless, which seemed more in tone with The Dark Knight Rises than with any of the other Iron Man movies or the Avengers.
Well, I just hope Shane Black can make this awesome as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was!
According to Hugh Jackman, The Wolverine won’t be a sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine:
We’ve deliberately not called it Wolverine 2 because we want it to be placed and feel like a standalone picture. With an all-new cast and setting it in Japan, it’s going to give us a whole new visual aesthetic. The approach to character means we won’t be overloaded with mutants and teams and the like, so it’ll be more character-based. I think in many ways it will feel like a completely different X-Men film.
Character-based Wolverine movie? Count me in!
Oh, there’s this rumor going around that AMC will try to make a movie out of The Walking Dead [1]. Well, why not? Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel was supposed to be a movie before it was turned (quite successful) into a series.
And the day ended with lulz, with this awesome compilation of 100 Greatest Maniacal Movie Laughs:
Which reminded of the good old Ultimate “NOOOOOOOOO” Compilation.
Okay, firstly. Your list of ladies for the Female Expendables is so much YES!!!! But ANY list requiring an all-female cast must, must, MUST include Helen Mirren… that is all.
And Spice Girls reunion part 2?! YES FUCKIN PLEASE!!!! I got cheated out of seeing the first go-round. Not a thing in all the cosmos would stop me from seeing round 2!
@Camiele, hahaha. I thought the rumor before the Olympics that Spice Girls would get together for that one time had Posh making all the Spices promise that it will be the last time xD
@amy, There are also rumours that said that the reason Posh actually was at the Closing Ceremony was because they showcased her fashion label at that fashion bit with David Bowie music~
@mirella, Are you serious… HaHa!!!! Oh my gawd, Posh. I’d say get over yourself, but there’s very little point when you’re as epic as anything having to do with the Spice Girls. So… you know… But I AM gonna need her to suck it up and be on stage again. I mean, let’s be real, once a Spice Girl, ALWAYS a Spice Girl. That’s not something you just STOP being just because you’re married… HaHa.
@mirella & Camiele, I suspect Posh is the Timberlake of the Spice xD like JT, Posh is ashamed of her past and would prefer you’d forget about it.
Having said that… OMG, Sporty Spice. xD Mel C is so much fun.
