Movie Weirdie!

That’s the thing with old-school cartoons :)

A little something to calm myself…

Marvel Studios has made a full commitment to a “Thor” sequel and are gearing up to have the film open Summer 2013 reports Deadline.

With “Iron Man 3” slated for May 3rd 2013, “Thor 2” has been locked into a July 26th 2013 release - the same last July weekend “Captain America” will open in this year.

While Chris Hemsworth is locked to reprise the role of the God of Thunder, director Kenneth Branagh will not be back as helmer. His departure from the film has been described as “mutual and amicable”, Branagh himself has been extremely happy with both the studio and the film’s performance.

The $150 million-budget film scored pretty good critical reviews and has racked up $437 million worldwide in ticket sales with a few key territories

io9 has been forwarded a lengthy piece of text which, if true, basically spells out much of the plot of Ridley Scott’s upcoming sci-fi epic “Prometheus”.

It explains how the whole thing serves as a prequel to “Alien” (namely the origin of the derelict alien spacecraft) and incorporates the “Chariot of the Gods” mythology Scott himself confirmed as a big influence this week.

The site does warn that “We’re fairly dubious that this is the actual plot. And not only are we skeptical about the authenticity of this outline, but we’re really hoping that our skepticism is justified”. Here’s the possible synopsis in full:

“Archaeological digs in Africa reveal alien artifacts that humans were genetically engineered by a advanced alien race (space jockeys). These “Alien Gods” also terraformed Earth in order to make it habitable for their human creations. Amongst finds are coordinates to the Alien God’s home-world, to Paradise. Months later the Weyland Corp launch the spaceship PROMETHEUS and his crew, into deep space to make first contact.

Thanks to faster than light travel a few years later the PROMETHEUS enters the Zeta Riticuli star system. Humans are greeted by their makers, then transported further into space to a scary yet fascinating world. The Alien Gods are proud of their “children”, their first creation to reach such levels of intelligence.

As a reward they share bits of their astonishing bio-based technologies with the humans. But for one crew member of the Prometheus it’s not enough. In a treacherous act he steals the “bio-source code” to Terraforming, a technology at the origin of all Gods’ power, that could make humans equal to the gods. The Alien Gods may be scientists but are also ruthless conquerors, destroyers of worlds who will not accept humans as equals.

They unleash on the escaping human crew their favorite bio-weapon, a creature used to “clean up” worlds before colonization. But something goes wrong in the process and humans manage to turn the bio-weapon against their makers. Giving birth to a smarter, nastier, bigger breed of gut eating creatures. Creatures that will be the demise of Paradise. What’s left of the Prometheus crew manages to escape the doomed planet.

On their trail a survivor Alien God in very familiar ship with one ultimate mission. Bring the wrath of the Gods to Earth.”

Hmm… Mashing ‘em up doesn’t seem like a bad idea…

First Keanu Reeves jumped ship, now long-attached director Albert Hughes (“The Book of Eli”) is also exiting the live-action “Akira” remake at Warner Bros. Pictures reports Deadline.

Sources say the split comes down to “amicable creative differences” and the studio will try to put him on another movie right away.

At the time of Reeves’ departure, a studio spokesperson said “Production on ‘Akira’ has not halted or been shut down, as the film has not yet been greenlit and is still very much in the development stage.” With Hughes’ departure now, one wonders if that’s still the case.

Meanwhile Variety reports that David O. Russell, who was set to write and produce the film adaptation of best-selling videogame series “Uncharted” has left that project .

His split is also being put down to “creative differences”. The film was one of several on Russell’s plate and in interviews about it, his answers seemed to indicate he’d barely played the game at all and the film he was developing bore little resemblance to the property.
