Hello again RA fans and followers. Sorry for the long layoff, but I am back at it, and ready with some links for your viewing pleasure.News: Patrick Dempsey is joining the cast of Transformers 3. He will take on the role of the Megan Fox character's boss. LINK
RA's Take: Not interesting in and of itself (unless you're a big Dempsey fan), but look at the cast list for this movie now. It is pretty breathtaking. Which is all the more astonishing considering just how bad (and even offensive) the second one was. Can all of these A-list actors need money that badly?
News: Quick news story about Anthony Hopkins' next few roles. Apparently he just signed on to play an evil sorcerer in the upcoming Arabian Nights. LINK
RA's Take: I love watching Hopkins, especially in weird villain roles. He can bring so much menace to a character. Count me in.
News: A Morena Baccarin interview with Movieline where she discusses her tv show V, and Joss Whedon's directorial abilities. LINK
RA's Take: Baccarin first stole my heart as Inara from Whedon's tv series Firefly, and the ensuing film, Serenity. I would listen to her talk on just about any topic, but especially Joss Whedon. At least for the purposes of this blog.
News: Danny McBride and Aziz Ansari are joining forces again. They have the upcoming 30 Minutes or Less, and now, an untitled project they are working on with 30 Rock writer, Matt Hubbard. LINK
RA's Take: This should be great news. Both are on hot streaks right now, and are pretty hysterically funny on their own. Hopefully they bring out the best in each other.
News: With the release of Robin Hood looming, here is a really nice NY Times piece on Ridley Scott. It breaks down the director's career and examines his relationship with frequent collaborator, Russell Crowe. LINK
RA's Take: Ridley Scott is one of my favorites. Despite less than consistent critical acclaim, the man makes extremely watchable movies. Alien and Blade Runner are two of my all-timers when it comes to sci-fi. I will be one of the first in line for Robin Hood.
Great links, Brodley Scott. I would be right there with you for Robin Hood if I could.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brohemian Rhapsody. Did you enjoy the Anthony Hopkins photo? Made me cackle with glee when I found it.
ReplyDeleteI was more than a little creeped out by it, I must say.
ReplyDelete-- Anthony Hopkins in Arabian Nights - one more reason to see that movie.
ReplyDelete-- Was thrilled to see "V" was picked up for another season. I especially like the pacing of the show (unlike "Flashforward," which bored me to death).
