Insiders tell Vulture that the world's second-largest carmaker is in discussions about backing an update of The Cannonball Run in a deal that would be much larger than your average product placement. With this deal, a new Run could double as a big, two-hour demonstration of GM's new cars. Producer Al Ruddy (The Godfather, Million Dollar Baby) is producing the project, and the Fox-based Shawn Levy (Real Steel) has expressed interest, wanting it anchored by his Night at the Museum star, Ben Stiller. However, we’re told that that Levy is second in line to Warner Bros.’ go-to action-comedy director Guy Ritchie, who is considering taking it on and envisions it with Brad Pitt starring with some of his Ocean’s 11 confreres. (It’s easy to see why Warner Bros. has the edge here: Ritchie and Pitt are both clients of the powerful Creative Artists Agency, which also just happens to represent GM as a corporate client. Reps at CAA declined comment.) In this still-evolving deal, GM wants to be more involved than just committing to the usual “soft” marketing support (the usual spray of TV commercials hyping a film packed with GM cars, like Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise). They're thinking of taking an actual hard-dollar, equity stake in a Cannonball production, which we’re told Ritchie would like to shoot at least partly in Europe. (One has to imagine that setting the film at least partly on the speed-limit-free German autobahn must be hugely appealing to audiences, and particularly to GM and studio lawyers concerned about liability.) With more involvement, they could use the road-race film as a way to introduce and spotlight their 2014 car lineup for two hours, maybe giving this new Corvette the lead. If the GM deal comes through, it’ll show just how far product placement has come. Back in 1981, the besotted priests Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin drove director Hal Needham’s own red Ferrari 308 to save on production costs.[/quote] source: [url]http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/10/the_cannonball_run_remake_gm_c.html[/url] Wed, 19 Oct 2011 07:06:30 -0600 Action Films http://www.movie-poster.ws/messageboard/article321.htm Marvel's The Avengers is the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeyeand Black Widow.

He had this to say about it. "For myself, I tried [changing a film] once and lived to regret it. Not because of fan outrage, but because I was disappointed in myself. I got overly sensitive to [some of the reaction] to E.T., and I thought if technology evolved, [I might go in and change some things]…it was OK for a while, but I realized what I had done was I had robbed people who loved E.T. of their memories of E.T. [...] If I put just one cut of E.T. on Blu-ray and it was the 1982, would anyone object to that? [The crowd yells "NO!" in unison.] OK, so be it."

I don’t possess those skills,” said Stallone, who skipped the annual pre-induction parade because of security concerns. “What I do think I have is an understanding of what goes on outside the ring. Outside the ring is sometimes maybe an even bigger struggle than what goes on inside the ring, and I was able to capture that. Then I believe that you can identify more with the fighter.” “More than that, you also realize that our life is a constant battle,” Stallone said. “Sometimes I write things that may seem a little sentimental, but I truly believe it’s not how hard you can hit—it’s how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward because that’s really what makes the difference in your life.” Rocky has always encouraged me to workout when I was a kid especially.

I say we Asians show Hollywood that we won't tolerate their abuse any longer. In fact, I've created a blog for that very purpose: [url]http://asianboycottleague.wordpress.com/[/url] It's meant to be used as a petition. Please comment on the site to pledge that you will not watch the Hangover Part 2 or any other movies that portray Asians negatively.
