'American Reunion' Has A Complete Reunion Cast! Plus Spoilers!



Great news for American Pie fans as Deadline is reporting that Shannon Elizabeth has signed on to appear in the upcoming Universal-produced fourquel, "American Reunion." Elizabeth was the last of the cast to be signed for a complete cast return.

She will join her co-stars Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Chris Klein, Eugene Levy, Tara Reid, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Jennifer Coolidge and Mena Suvari. Elizabeth will reprise her role as Czech exchange student Nadia, which she played in the first and second American Pie movies.

The new movie is written by Harold & Kumar writers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who are also directing "American Reunion."

Here are 10 plot details about the film that have been released before:

1. The whole gang are returning to East Great Falls for their ten-year Highschool reunion (made possible thanks to Facebook). They’ll come near and far to remember the good times - only to be faced with the frightening realization that they’re no longer young teenagers.
2. Oz has hit the big time as a contestant on a Dancing with the Stars-type show. He also lives in a pricey Malibu mansion. He returns home a big-shot.
3. Stifler isn’t doing well - he’s working as a temp for a rude boss that refers to him as ‘his bitch’. He’s also not having a lot of luck with the ladies. Still, he’s excited to get back home and do some partying.
4. Jim’s next-door neighbor Kara, now all grown-up (!), develops a crush on the married man. Can Jim resist her? Can he keep his marriage to Michelle in one piece?
5. Marco wants to kill Jim. He’s been dating Kara for quite a while but now his woman only has eyes for the “pie f*cker”!
6. Upon returning home Stifler scores with Laurie, a former hotttie now 80 pounds heavier. Thoughtful as ever, Stifler lets her know he’ll be turning the lights off for their lovemaking session.
7. Jim is a YouTube sensation these days - everyone knows his little performance piece from the ’90s with Nadia!
8. Oz’s girlfriend Mia - seemingly with him for his money only - decides to join him at the reunion. Meanwhile, Oz’s ex-Heather brings with her to town her new boyfriend, a forty-something surgeon, who tries to act younger.
9. Stifler is supposed to be working on the weekend of the reunion and attempts to keep up the ruse that he still is.
10. Trisha use to go to bandcamp with Michelle. She’s now a smokin’ hotie bartender - one whom ‘international traveler’ Finch will score with (Though Stifler’s Mom will also make a reappearance).

A Capella Disney Medley - Video

UMass Amherst a cappella group "The Doo Wop Shop" perform a cleverly arranged, and somewhat hilarious, medley of various Disney classics.

Racing An Otter - Video

I don't know why but I found this video really funny.

As the video starts you see a kid running back and forth along the length of an otter tank with a single otter looking like he's having fun racing him, the cool and funny bit comes at around 35 seconds in when the kid decides to change it up and swap directions half way through the run and the otter immediately changes too and follows him... This is the kind of playful thing you want when you go to a zoo instead of chimpanzees just sitting there staring at you looking like they want to rip out your intestines or lions clearly pacing their cages because they've gone loopy!

Brave - First Official Picture From New Pixar Movie



Courtesy of Disney Pixar France comes the first non-concept-art look at Princess Merida, the female protagonist of Pixar’s 13th feature-length film "Brave" — the first Pixar film to feature a female lead (Kelly Macdonald), and the first to be co-directed by a woman (Brenda Chapman).

Brave, which is set “in the mystical Scottish Highlands,” also features the vocal talents of Julie Walters, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Craig Ferguson, Kevin McKidd, and Robbie Coltrane.

A release date has been set for June 22, 2012.

John Cho, Bill Nighy, Kate Beckinsale & Jessica Biel Join 'Total Recall' Remake



It looks as if the "Total Recall" remake is beginning to come together with more cast members being announced.

EW is reporting that John Cho is the newest actor to join the cast as 'McClane, the smooth-talking rep for the mind-messing company that tempts Colin Farrell’s Douglas Quaid to implant fantastic memories into his brain.'

According to THR and Collider, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel will play Quaid’s wife and his revolutionary girlfriend.

Bryan Cranston has been cast as the futuristic villain played by Ronny Cox in the original film, and Ethan Hawke will have a small role as well. Bill Nighy is still in talks to reportedly play the revolutionary hero, Kuato.

Total Recall happens to be one of my favourite films (I say that a lot) and I'm hoping the remake is as memorable as Arnie's original!

First Pic Of Bane From Dark Knight Rises...

Yes it's true, this is indeed the first officially released image from The Dark Knight Rises of none other than the man who breaks the Bat... BANE.

My initial response was "what the frick is that on his head" but news from the Bat-camp says that Bane will indeed end up wearing his trademark luchadore wrestling mask at some point...


Randy Savage And Jeff Conaway R.I.P...




Sad news recently as both Wrestling's much loved son Macho Man Randy Savage and Jeff Conaway from Grease and Babylon 5 both died.

Savage (otherwise known as "Randy Mario Poffo"), who was 58 years old, unfortunately died in a car accident on the 20th of May when he supposedly mounted a central reservation, crossed into oncoming traffic and eventually crashed into a tree. It's thought that he experienced a heart attack which led to losing control and his wife Lynn was also in the car but was unhurt. A wrestling legend of my childhood along with the likes of Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior, Randy will be sorely missed.

Conaway 60, who battled drug and alcohol addiction for decades, was taken off of life-support last Friday having been found on May the 11th in what was originally thought to be a pain medication overdose induced coma. However it was later said to be pneumonia with sepsis for which he was placed  into a coma intentionally by doctors but couldn't then be revived from. His body simply couldn't stand up to his ill health after the amount of drug abuse in his past and docs were at a loss as to what to do for him. I only really knew of Jeff from Grease and Babylon 5 but he did a ton of other work in movies and TV too.

Wonder Woman TV Series - 2 New Pics (Even Though It Was Cancelled!)

Below are two new pics just released on line of Adrianne Palicki wearing the much debated pair of short shorts/pants. I truly believe that if the producers of the failed series had showed pictures like these instead of the terrible blue boots and leggings version it would have gone forward... But I also now think that Wonder Woman doesn't translate well to 2011 like it did back in the 70's, it just looks like a cosplay costume and Adrianne just isn't 100% right for Diana...

The second pic below also shows what is either Wonder Woman's plane or Steve Trevors... Either way it's not your normal run-of-the-mill plane. Not really important, just thought I'd mention it!



Green Lantern Movie - Epic New Trailer

Wow... From it's terrible first trailer everyone though the new Green Lantern movie looked horrible and could potentially be a massive flop. However when trailers like the one below get released you have to admit that all that negativity goes out the window and you suffer from overwhelming geekgasms... The Green Lantern history/lore coupled with the Guardians and some new scenes and Hal's other previously-unseen constructs? Wow...

Enjoy!

Torchwood: Miracle Day - First Look Video Trailer

Below is Access Hollywood's first look video at the new Torchwood outing "Miracle Day". Having thoroughly enjoyed the epic "Children of Earth" I can't wait for this new series, even though it's been Americanised up the wazoo...

Batman Live - First Promo Trailer

Below is the first Batman Live - promo trailer video which gives everyone a quick idea of what the costumes look like but not much else. Two of the Red Sun staff are seeing this so I hope they enjoy it!

Star Wars + Guns N Roses = Supreme Awesomeness...

Oh my...

How frickin awesome is this video below? Chewbacca as Axl Rose, an Ewok as Slash and then some Jawa drummers all performing to "Welcome to the Jungle"... Words cannot describe the level of geek-awesomness these two minutes of footage supply!

Cowboys And Aliens - New Action Packed TV Spot

I'm still not sure what to make of Cowboys and Aliens but based on the trailers and the name alone (it has "Cowboys" and "Aliens" in it!) it could well be one hell of an action movie.

 

The Smurfs 3D - New Trailer

Here's the second full trailer for the upcoming Surfs 3D movie. So many people are hating this before they've seen it but it brings back fond memories of the 80's for me and if my kids loved the Chipmunk films then I'm sure they'll both love this one too...


Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon - New Trailer

I don't care what anyone says, I love the Michael Bay Transformers movies and this new one (the 4th trailer so far) for the upcoming "Dark of the Moon" is frickin epic... The video after the trailer supposedly has a blink and you'll miss it cameo of "Mirage" (the red one) which has got all the 80's fanboys all worked up... for good reasons so I'm told. I'm sure The Crimson Blur will love it!




Stan Lee Gives Away His Cameo Role In The New Spider-Man Movie...

Everyone knows (or should know by now) that the legend that is Stan Lee has a cameo in every Marvel movie, the latest being Thor where he's the pickup driver trying to pull the mighty hammer - Mjolnir out of the ground to no avail. It's a joy for fans to discover Stan's cameos in the movies and hopefully they'll keep popping up as long as Marvel movies keep getting made...

Stan has been left out of new X-Men: First Class movie (as explained in the video below) and has even supposedly petitioned to appear in DC's Dark Knight Rises movie, but his upcoming cameo in Spider-Man was a mystery up until now. He let slip during a recent talk how he's set to appear.

Muppets Movie - First Trailer... Within A Trailer...

Below is the first trailer for the upcoming Muppet movie which stars, among others, Jason Segel and Amy Adams. The trailer is designed to throw you off the scent until the last second pretending to be a movie called "Green with Envy", a love film... Which then flips on its head and features MUPPETS!




And here's another teaser trailer to whet your appetites with a bit of extra footage called the Fuzzy Pack... Danny Trejo! Love it!

Gifs To Smile to...

3 gifs for you here that made me smile today.

1) Fake viral advert for Tampa Bay Rays baseball player "Evan Longoria" performing the impossible by saving a female reporter by catching a fastball coming from behind him. Done this myself when I was younger at school (no proof of course) and I'm still a phenomenal catcher even now... :P

2) A kitten hilariously winding up a dog... It's slow and meditated animal hilarity at its finest.

3) A little ruder than usual but something the Missus and I have joked about for years whilst watching Friends... Jennifer Aniston never wears a bra for the whole 10 seasons and is permanently smuggling peanuts. What if we had the option to remove them with a Wii remote? Craziness.

Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory - 40th Anniversary Pics & Video Interview With The Cast

First of all I'm going to start off this post by saying that the original 1971 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is one of my favourite films of all time... Disregarding the fact that I usually hate musicals, or even films with the slightest bit of singing in them Willy Wonka was an incredible film and it's stayed with me for my entire life. There's hardly a week that goes by that I'm not bounding around my house like a nutter singing one of the songs like "I've got a golden ticket" or "Pure Imagination" or even "Oompa Loompa", that's how much I love it.

This year marks the 40th, yes "40th", anniversary of Mel Stuart's cult classic and below you'll find not only some "before and after" pics of the main cast with their current jobs listed below them (always interesting to see what child actors are up to now) but also a video from "The Today Show" where some are being interviewed about their time on the set etc. And just in case you're wondering - Gene Wilder (Willy Wonka) is very much alive, he just couldn't make it to the interview... Probably due to being the oldest of the lot, extremely famous and retired, I quite understand that!





X-Men: First Class - Loads Of New Photos...

Sebastian Shaw looking like someone you were told to run away from at school? Check.

Dodgy images of Beast looking like he's touching cloth in the X-jet? Check.

Xavier looking like a greasy twat in his yellow and blue X-men outfit? Check.

Magneto looking like a equally as stupid in his turtle neck and brown leather jacket? Check.

Obligatory multiple White Queen cleavage shots? Check.

Any interest in this movie whatsoever? Che... Oh wait, that'll be a no...

Sorry, apathy rules on this one. Enjoy the pics though!
