New Video: Jonas Brothers Are ’Burning Up’
We don’t exactly think of the Jonas Brothers as butt-kicking brutes, and obviously, neither do they.
In the trio’s just-released video for their new song, “Burning Up,” the boys have some fun with a few pop culture action figures, with Nick channeling James Bond, Joe doing the whole Miami Vice, pastel thing, and Kung Fu Kevin learning a thing or two fromwho else? David Carradine.
Naturally, a Disney star, in this case, Selena Gomez, makes a cameo as a Bond girl.
Lest we forget from whence their popularity originated.
G.I. Joe Cast Preview
Our friends over at IGN have created a little clip introducing us to the cast of upcoming action flick G.I. Joe. I have never before in my life seen a G.I. Joe TV show episode, read one of the comics, or played with the dolls action figures, so I really couldn’t tell you if these casts are accurate or not. Though, I’m slightly excited about Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who has been making a name for himself since he was 13 and had his first starring role in Angels in the Outfield.
Any G.I. Joe fans out there? What do you think of the cast?
Sneak Pics: Sienna, Dennis Suit up for G.I. Joe
She's not exactly a real American hero, but Brit Sienna Miller's still pretty hot as the villain Baroness in new pics from the far-off G.I. Joe flick.
Due in summer 2009, the movie's got a huge cast of real-life action figures, with Channing Tatum, Dennis Quaid, Marlon Wayans and Rachel Nichols. Plus Ray "Darth Maul" Park and Korean TV/pop star Lee Byung-hun as dueling ninjas.
Wait, was there a Wayans brother in there?
Anyway, click into our Sneak Peeks From Flicks gallery to see more pics, and let us know: Are you psyched for this or over it already?
Emily the Strange - The First Movie Adapted From a Sticker?
Emily the Strange was created by Santa Cruz skateboarder Rob Reger in the early 1990’s to help promote his company Cosmic Debris Etc. Inc. Before becoming a cult counterculture icon, Emily began on a sticker that was passed out for free at concerts, record stores and skate shops to help promote Cosmic Debris. I give you this back story because I think it’s very important to establish that Emily The Strange will be the first movie ever to be adapted from a sticker. And I remember a few years back when people thought it was strange that DreamWorks was making a movie out of a line of action figures.
The character is a goth looking 13-year old girl who is usually accompanied by her four black cats: Sabbath - the troublemaker, Nee-Chee - the schemer, Miles - the creative, and Mystery, the leader of the group. The franchise has a considerable merchandising catalog, including clothing, stationery, stickers, and accessories, very popular with the Hot Topic crowd.
Dark Horse Entertainment president Mike Richardson will produce the film, which is currently on the hunt for a director. Richardson says that the filmmaker choice may in turn dictate what format will serve the story best: live-action, animation, or a combination of both. I can’t really imagine Emily the Strange as a live-action movie. May-be they could do a mixture using the Sin City approach. The story is said to be based on one of the four Emily the Strange young adult novels, which will be published next year by HarperCollins. Not much is known other than it will offer up some backstory on the character, and will feature her four cats.
The project is also not yet set-up at a studio. Universal, who is producing the comic book company’s Hellboy series, has a first-look deal.
