Tyrannosaurus Rex Concept Art
Some new concept art from Rob Zombie’s Tyrannosaurus Rex has appeared online over at the official Tyrannosaurus Rex Myspace page.
Not much is known about the movie so far, although now we know someone gets their face removed in a boxing match. Sounds good so far.
Yorkshire Ripper Trilogy On The Way
UK’s Channel 4 and Revolution Films are currently working on a trilogy revolving around the serial killer known as the ‘Yorkshire Ripper’ who terrorised the North East of England, according to Variety.
Peter Sutcliffe was convicted of murdering 13 victims between 1975 and 1980, and the case was one of the largest ever investigations by a UK police force. Unfortunately for the police, computers weren’t widely used in the 1970’s so they had to write everything down and ended up screwing things up a few times. Peter Sutcliffe is currently severing multiple life sentences and claimed God told him to carry out the murders.
The films will be based on three of the four books in David Peace’s ‘Red Riding Quartet’, and are being made as a TV series, with a U.K. cinema release and then possibily sold other countries after that.
The budget for the three films is $10 million, which is the equivalent to 10 minutes of Transformers.
Fans Will Appear In The Hobbit!
Guillermo del Toro had a Q&A session with MTV and revealed some rather good news for Hobbit fans.
“Who do I have to kill or sleep with to get a role as an extra?” user Mike Moore asked.
“Oh my god, well that’s a good question only in that it’s asked often,” del Toro said, chuckling. “[But] I believe as the film comes to happen, in either of the two films, [fans] have a good chance of being there.”
“Sleep with a lot of people if you can! That’s a very good piece of advice. But don’t bribe anyone. It will be wasted money,” del Toro said, laughing. “We will set some rules and some contests and some fans will definitely get the chance of being extras. Go and apply for those roles!”
Contests will be the better option for Hobbit fans as there is more chance of Gimli getting a back, crack and sac wax than a Hobbit fan sleeping with anyone.
Bruno Goes To The Middle East
Sasha Baron Cohen is at it again with Bruno. Cohan/Bruno tricked Yossi Alpher, a former Israeli spy and Palestinian academic Ghassam Khalib into appearing in the film which they thought was a serious documentary on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At one point, Bruno compared the Middle East conflict to the battle between Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie over Brad Pitt, saying: ‘Your conflict is not so bad.’ He also said:
“What’s the connection between a political movement and food. Why hummus?” Cohen asked, later adding: “Yesterday I threw away my pitta bread because it was dripping hummus. And it’s too high in carbohydrates.”
It was too late to pull out because the two had already signed release forms and received payment for the interview. The way things are going Bruno could end up being just a great as Borat…maybe even better! So far there has been talk of Ben Affleck being interviewed by Cohen in character, along with Arnold Schwarzenegger. There was also an incident in the lobby of Wichita Kansas Airport, where Bruno and his friend were caught stripping down to tight shorts.
