Another remake of the 1950's Invasion of the Body Snatchers is on the way. This is the third remake so far. The first was in 1978 with Donald Sutherland. The second was in 1993, and the latest will begin filming in late September on location in Baltimore, New York and D.C. It is targeted for release sometime in 2006 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the original. This one is going to star Bewitched actress Nicole Kidman. The new Invasion is being produced by Joel Silver and Vertigo Entertainment, the company behind the The Grudge, and is being directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel.

Adrien Brody stars in "The Jacket" as a Gulf war veteran named Jack Starks. Jack is having a rough time of it. He gets shot in the head in Iraq, and is presumed dead temporarily. He makes it home and while walking down a country road runs into a drunken or drugged up mom and her little girl. After fixing the drunken mom's vehicle and giving his dog tags to the little girl, he goes on his merry way. Very nice of the guy except for the fact the mom shouldn't have been driving in her condition.

A Batman special edtion dvd gift set will be arriving in stores October 18 this year. It will feature all four Batman movies from the 1980's and 1990's.
It will also contain 9 music videos from Prince, Seal, and the Smashing Pumpkins. Other bonus features contain director commentaries by Joel Schumacher and Tim Burton, cast and crew interviews, several new documentaries, and "making of" featurettes. Now let me just take this time to complain. I just got the last gift set at Walmart because I could finally afford it. No wonder it was cheaper. It didn't have all these cool extras! Holy disappointment Batman! Oh well. If your looking for Batman dvds with a complete list of released movies and cartoon so far check out this page Batman dvds.

The top movies stayed about the same this week. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was number one $28.3 million, the wedding crashers were number two with $26.2 million, ,and the Fantastic Four stayed at number three with a little over 12 million dollars. New movies, The Island, starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson as clones on the run from a facility that has raised them as spare body parts, took in $12.1 million, and the Bad News Bears only took in $11.5 million dollars. I was actually surprised it took in that much.

Looks like from the list of movies out this weekend that the "Island" is probably the best bet. It stars Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson who learn they are clones bred for their organs and they have to escape before they are harvested. You know Ewan McGregor from Star Wars as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

There is already talk about a sequel to the Fantastic Four. Michael Chiklis the actor who played the Thing as said as early as next spring or early summer shooting may begin for the Fantastic Four 2.

Just check out all the Fantastic Four toys.
