News du Jour

The Wachowski brothers (The Matrix, V for Vendetta) plan to start shooting a live-action version of Speed Racer in June. For those who loved the anime, this may be a good or bad thing. For those who didn't love the anime, this may be a good or bad thing. Liz and Valerie are wondering who will play the chimp.

In other news, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army should begin filming in May. Although Guillermo Del Toro didn't win the much-deserved Oscar for Best Foreign Film, Liz and Valerie know that he's amazing and will continue to make extremely awesome movies for them to enjoy.

As of now, Tom Cruise might star in Zack Snyder's adaptation of Alan Moore's masterpiece Watchmen. He would allegedly be Ozymandias. Pray to whatever god you believe in that this does not come to pass. If Zack needs help coming up with other actors who are infinitely better suited to the role, Liz and Valerie are happy to oblige.

This is news to Valerie, if not to everyone else, but apparently there are plans to make Paradise Lost into a big-budget movie. Yes, the one that Milton wrote. Yes, the one about Lucifer and the fall of man. Under consideration for the role of Lucifer are Daniel Craig and Heath Ledger, who are both hot and blond and thus excellent choices. Now it only remains to be seen whether this will ever make it out of production hell, pun most certainly intended.
