Hollywood is getting perhaps a little too desperate... But anyway:
The word is that Ridely Scott ("Gladiator", "Blade Runner", "American Gangster") is directing the "Monopoly" movie; I don't understand why he would, but more importantly what would it look like? Serious? Funny? A mix? My bet is on serious, since he's not much of a comedy guy.
"Candyland" was just recently announced, no real word on it. I guess it could be alright (as far as little kids go).
Steve Oedekerk ("Kung Pow", "Barnyard") is working on "Stretch Armstrong" (That makes sense). I'm a fan of "Kung Pow: Enter The Fist", so I could be pretty funny.
Also, (sad news for me) rumor has it that (after months of speculation) Bryan Singer is not going to direct the next Superman movie ("Man of Steel", sequel to "Superman Returns"). I enjoyed "Superman Returns" a great deal, and I would've loved for it to have been continued, but after a while I probably would've just felt like like seeing a Superman movie no matter what (sequel or reboot). The rumor also extends to say that The Wachowski Brothers ("The Matrix", "Speed Racer") have been asked to direct the reboot. I have no real opinion on this yet (I'm somewhat leaning toward a "please don't"). I enjoyed "The Matrix" trilogy allot, but I don't think that their particular vision would blend in with the world of Superman (as many see it).
Cross your figures and hope these films aren't too disappointing (if they must be).
Happy Valentines Day
