Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to report on every movie announcement that comes out in a week like some blogs do; a full-time job and personal life have that effect. But I do have an opinion, and sometimes I just have to share…

Revealed this week was a remake/reboot of the classic Arnold film Predator – called Predators – to be directed by Robert Rodriguez and released in 2010. I like Rodriguez but don’t know what to think of this announcement; time will tell, but I’m worried. He’s also moving forward with a full-length version of his Grindhouse short Machete. In other words, Rodriguez is going to be busy, and not doing kiddie films.

The first trailer for H2, the sequel to the remake of Halloween, was revealed this week, and I’m… underwhelmed. I actually think the Rob Zombie remake was great, but it appears as though Zombie may be messing with the formula a bit too much.

Denzel Washington will be starring in his fifth Tony Scott film, titled Unstoppable. Washington knows where the money is, apparently. FilmJabber knows where the Oscars are, though, and they aren’t with Tony Scott.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be returning to theaters yet again, this time in live-action format. This is good news, as the animated movie sucked tadpoles. In similar news, Ed Norton and Robert De Niro will co-star in a film called Stone, which hopefully will be better than when De Niro and Pacino teamed up last year.

In 3D news, it’s possible that Spider-Man 4 will utilize the technology, a good move but one that continues the question: when will the fad die? I’ve liked the visuals of the movies I’ve seen thus far, but unless I can bring my own glasses to theater and not pay $4 more, 3D is going to get old quick.

A producer for the upcoming Wolverine movie talked about X-Men Origins: Magneto and X-Men: First Class, and it sounds like both are still going forward. Both of these films are bad ideas. You could do a dozen more X-Men movies (with a better director than Brett Ratner), but do them with the big characters, not a bunch of teenagers.

Warner Brothers released it’s summer preview, which contained a whopping one new picture. Awesome.

And there you go. Everything you need to know and more.

I don’t have anything beyond that to report – I just wanted to do some researching on Odette Yustman and Amber Heard pictures. From the sounds of it, they will not be making out in the film.

Amber Heard will soon be featured – rather naked, I might add – in the upcoming film The Informers.

Here are five reasons why the Cars 2 movie will suck:

1. The original Cars was awful. It was boring, slow, unimaginative, not funny and lacked exciting animation.
2. The world of cars is a limited one.  The first one featured some uninteresting racing action and attempted drama, which is about as much as you can get out of a car movie about talking cars. The original Cars used up everything you could possibly imagine in the first ten minutes of the movie.
3. Cars can’t show emotion. As seen in the first one, it’s hard to show emotion, expression and so on and so forth with a bunch of cars. Let’s just say no one wanted to see the love scenes and no one cared.
4. This is a weak reason why the movie will suck, but Brad Lewis is directing the film. He produced Ratatouille, one of Pixar’s best movies, but he has never directed a movie in his life.
5. The original Cars movie sucked. Did I already say that?

Frankly, I’m bummed that I will have to see previews for a sequel. Stupid Disney! Stupid Disney!

The good news is that the Los Angeles Times is reporting that the movie is being split into two movies, the first to be released in November 2010, the second in May 2011. I truly feel this is not simply to capitalize on an extra $400 million worldwide – the book was massive, and to remove much if any of it to fit into a two-and-a-half hour movie would be a travesty. Now with 4-6 hours to play with, Warner Brothers can create an epic two-part movie series… Of course, the first half of the movie is going to be immensely frustrating, just like Kill Bill: Vol. 1. That is going to be an agonizing six months, let me tell you.

The bad news is that David Yates is signed on to direct these films. Does Warner Brothers really think this guy can handle the epic finale to the Harry Potter franchise? He already did a piss poor job on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; why would Warner Brothers hire the crappiest director of all the Harry Potter movies to do the last four, and subsequently most important, films in the franchise?

If Yates ruins Harry Potter, I will be massively upset.

Dano, who is best known for his popular roles in Little Miss Sunshine and There Will Be Blood (both Oscar nominees for Best Picture), will co-star with Zooey Deschanel. Paul Dano will play a mattress salesman and Deschanel a young woman he meets at the store. The screenplay is written by Aselton and Adam Nagata.
