More movies that haven't been released yet...

More movies on their way down Hollywood's poop-chute (or should I say "poop-shoot", little filming pun for you there, thank me for the hearty chuckle later). See previous post for the first lot.

Drew Barrymore in Music and Lyrics. Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore play a song-lyricist and a performer who fall in love. Need I say that this is listed as a "romantic-comedy"? Probably directed by Nora Ephron or Meathead. So cute I could puke.

Nicholas Cage stars in Wicker Man, another Hollywood attempt to fuck up a classic. A sheriff investigates the disappearance of a young girl on a small island and finds dark pagan goings-on. It could be that this is to appease Catholics afraid of all the good press pagans will get as a result of the DaVinci Code.

Russell Crowe will star in A Good Year as an Englishman who inherits a property in France only to find that an American is also claiming it as hers. Ah, yes, those evil Americans can't keep their hands of other people's shit. There will likely be some political undertones, and lots of Yankee-bashing in this one.

Soon to be Released

None of the the movies below have been released yet, they are all in varied stages of post-production (test-marketing and second-thoughts). I have not seen any of them, but sometimes all you need is a 2 sentence synopsis to make up your mind.

Bruce Willis will star in a project named The Astronaut Farmer. It's about a retired astronaut who tries to build a rocket in his backyard.

This is the kind of insincere, "heartfelt Americana" that gives real Americana a bad name. Rocket of Dreams would me my choice for the title.

Owen Wilson will star in You, Me, and Dupree about a best man who overstays his welcome as an unwanted houseguest. Doesn't this sound just a little bit like the Wedding Crashers genre to you?

Brad Pitt stars in the assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I want to see this one. Like most westerns it reads well in summary, possibly different in execution, but this should be pretty hard to fuck up so I'll say right now that it's worth watching.

Hilary Swank stars in The Reaping. In this one she plays a Christian missionary who loses her faith after her family is killed. It sounds depressing enough that she might get another Oscar nomination. Technorati
