Rock gets jiggy... with March...
of next year
Brace yourselves
chickadees. The Rock is on the move.
Paramount
has decided to move Mr. The Rock’s latest work, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” out of
its June 29 release date and push it all the way back until March 29, 2013.
These
sorts of moves are rarely a good sign (remember poor “Piranha 3DD”).
Paramount
is insisting this isn’t a quality-related move, but was done to allow director
John Chu time to convert it into 3-D.
Also, the
People’s Champ (Rock, duh) has said additional scenes are being designed to add
to the 3D experience of it all. I can only assume--- and hope--- those scenes
involve The Rock’s biceps is some way, shape or form. Am I right ladies? You
know what I’m talking about! Up top!
Regardless
of release date, I’ll be seeing “G.I. Joe 2” even though I never saw or cared
about part one, for the same reason I saw “Fast Five” despite not seeing most
of the “Fast and the Furious” sequels: The Rock makes everything better.

‘Exorcist’ heads to TV
If
there was ever a film franchise known for its eternal, rock-solid quality and
consistency, it was “The Exorcist.”
Whoops!
There I go again, confusing “Exorcist” and “The Godfather.” Silly me!
No, “The
Exorcist” franchise is a wildly inconsistent, borderline schizophrenic mess
consisting of a classic (“The Exorcist”), an offensive steaming pile (“The
Exorcist II: The Heretic”), two duds (“The Exorcist: The Beginning” and “Dominion”)
and one pretty decent effort (“The Exorcist III: Legion”).
And now
you can go on ahead and add a TV show into the mix.
Sean
Durkin, writer-director of “Martha Marcy May Marlene” is working on a ten
episode TV series based around the events of the first film. But don’t call it
a remake!
The
series outline goes like this, according to Vulture:
“Durkin’s version of THE EXORCIST
follows the events leading up to a demonic possession and especially the
after-effects of how a family copes with it: In short, not well (really, after
you start seeing stuff like this, can you blame them?), and when medical and
psychiatric explanations fail, the desperate family turns to the church, with
Father Damien Karras finally brought in to attempt the exorcism.”
Can I get a meh? I always ask
myself in these situations: Do we need this? I mean, really need it? Don’t
think so.
I may not be at all interested in
this project, but the horror genre’s history with TV is as unruly and
unpredictable as “The Exorcist” franchise, so maybe this is a match made in…
hell… after all.
Get it? Hell? Cuz it’s about
demons. Slap those knees!
