First things first: I can’t say that I was a big fan of Tron when it came out in 1982. But it holds a fond place in my heart for sheer nostalgia value, and over the years has become a cult classic (and one that I rather enjoy). So the recent news that Disney is making Tron 2, with original star Jeff Bridges, made my heart skip a beat. Any chance Bruce Boxleitner will return as the title character? Probably not …
Thank heaven for buxom babes: The title track might suck ass, but at least the opening credit sequence for Quantum of Solace will feature the return of hot, naked girls.
You knew this was coming: Steve Carell signs on for Get Smart 2.
Arent’ they too old for this shit? Mel Gibson and Danny Glover to return in Lethal Weapon 5.
Another Crash landing: Looks like Kevin Costner, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon are reuniting for a sequel to Bull Durham.
Anne does Alice: Cutey-pie Anne Hathaway joins Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.
Cover your heart! And your eyes! Harrison Ford says that George Lucas is at work on a fifth Indiana Jones.
And for all you comic-book geeks: Captain America: The First Avenger to be set during World War II.
