Is it wrong to love a movie this much before it's even come out?

AND some Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy concept art has hit the net:

Call me crazy but I think I detect a whole "Sphere" motif in the films design work.

Which just might be worth it not being amazing...LOL but not likely...

For those of you living under a rock, Tom Hanks is in the final negotiations for the Robert Langdon role in the DaVinci Code movie.

The illustrated edition of The Da Vinci Code is the coolest book I own. That was an idea that was just too good. All that paintings and shit from the book pictured next to the scenes they appear in.

Mr P, Sin & Hitchhikers images COOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Smile

Just read this on Ain't it Cool News.

Sam Raimi is thinking of doing a remake of the Evil Dead movie. No word if Campbell is in the movie. Also there is a possibility of an Evil Dead 4 when Raimi is done with Spidey 3

The other big rumor is that Ridley Scott might be doing a movie based on the huge video game hit Halo.

The Evil Dead: According to Variety, director Sam Raimi and original producing partners Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell are reteaming to produce a remake of the cult hit The Evil Dead through Ghost House Pictures, the joint venture of Raimi, Tapert and Senator Intl.

Raimi wrote, directed and produced the 1981 "Dead," which tells of five twentysomething friends holed up in a remote cabin who discover a Book of the Dead. When an archaeologist's taped translation of the text and its incantations is replayed, the youths unwittingly summon dormant demons that possess them.

Raimi will not direct the remake, so Ghost House is looking for a helmer to reinvent the franchise before a script is written.

Original pic spawned subsequent installments Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness.

"Dead" will be fully financed by Senator Intl., which will hold worldwide rights to pic. Exec VP of motion pictures Nathan Kahane will oversee the pic for Senator.

The Evil Dead is such a special film to Sam, Rob, Bruce and horror fans that we are going to take great care in renewing this franchise," said Joe Drake, Senator Intl. prexy. "By keeping its original formula intact and given audiences' appetite for horror, we expect that we'll have a real hit on our hands."

Days after Michael Goldenberg was announced to be scripting "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", Warner Bros. and producer David Heyman are close to setting British helmer David Yates to direct the fifth installment of the franchise according to Variety.

Yates has only bigscreen credit was the 1998 feature "The Tichborne Claimant," although was behind award-winning dramas "The Way We Live Now" and the "State of Play" mini-series. He is attached to direct Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany in WIP's "Brideshead Revisited."

Yates will likely have a directing deal in place by next week. The film is slated to start production late 2005 and hit theaters in summer 2007.

Has anyone seen the Dr doom rubber mask? Goal posts in his mouth ala Kirby but looks like major suck-age.

It looks like they got rid of the organic iron shit, which is GOOD. BTW have you guys seen the new Elektra trailer? Maybe I'm biased cause i'm a fan of Garner but I like the look of it.
