“Ghostbusters 3” is one of those movies that seems to have been coming together for a long time. We know a script is being worked on feverishly. We know Ivan Reitman has committed to direct again, once it’s ready to go. We know that Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis are ready to strap their jumpsuits on again, even if they are a little larger, and that Ernie Hudson will be signing back on for another tour, this time with much more to do and a greater role in the group. We know that Sigourney Weaver is set to reprise her role, after passing on being part of “Ghostbusters: The Video Game.” Hell, we even know that Rick Moranis is set to take a trip back from oblivion to be Louis Tully again. All the pieces have been in place to make “Ghostbusters 3” with the original gang reuniting, except for one... the wild card in this whole scenario, Bill Murray. His relationship with Harold Ramis now strained, and very picky about the work he does these days, Murray has never been a sure thing for “Ghostbusters 3,” especially with his disappointment in the average/mediocre “Ghostbusters 2,” which he felt wasn’t quite up to par with the original. He has long held firm to the concept that he is interested in doing another “Ghostbusters,” mainly if the reasons for doing it are worthwhile, such as they have a solid story to tell, that could live up to the classic status of the first film. To break it down as simply as can be... if there’s a good script, there’s Bill Murray. Well, according to Bill Murray, there he is... Dr. Peter Venkman will be a part of “Ghostbusters 3.”

Quentin Tarantino is already amongst one of the best Hollywood has to offer – one of the best directors, one of the best writers, and one of the most original and creative minds making films. You might just be able to add one of the most secretive and sneakiest to the list as well with new details coming out about the potential future of “Kill Bill.” As it turns out, everything you thought you saw in the first two volumes might not be. In other words, did you really see what you think you saw? Not so fast, says Daryl Hannah, and who better to know than her? Especially since a lot of it seems to surround her character Elle Driver. For those of you who never got around to watching “Kill Bill: Volume 2,” well, there’s not much I can do for your sad pitiful life, as this is going to head into some spoiler territory. However, in the second flick, Elle Driver is left eyeless… her only remaining eye ripped from its sockets and squished under the foot of The Bride. Oh, and then there was that whole matter of being left in a trailer with the deadly black mamba snake that already claimed Budd as a victim. That doesn’t mean she’s dead though. Oh, you thought she was…? Sounds like you could be wrong.

It’s well covered ground here on the site that if there is anything The Kidd hates with a passion, it’s reboots... and remakes... and reimaginings... and retellings... and pickles. However, for as much as I really despise them all, there might be something even more heinous than all of the above... well, except pickles. I really hate those fuckers. Their nasty-ass juice ruins everything. But, beyond that, it’s prequels. They have proven time and time again to be a creative failure, and, if you’re feeling spry, I challenge you to come up with a prequel that was more than mediocre. Oh, sure... they’ll make money, because people flock to the familiar branding, but, when compared to other films in a series... you know, the ones not dwelling on the past, but living in the now... they all suck. If you can’t make a “Star Wars” prequel interesting, you can’t make any prequel interesting. “Wolverine,” “Terminator,” even the Jack Ryan series... they blow something fierce. Part of it is because there is no dramatic tension as to what’s going to happen. We already know how things fuckin’ turn out. We saw them in the... ummm... in the quel, I guess. Plus, for every mention of something that happened previously in the backstory that we think we want to see, we really don’t want to see it. It never winds up being as cool as we made it in our own heads. However, for some reason these days, when a studio stalls with the current state of their franchises, rather than wait and let things sort themselves out to properly move forward, they immediately go the prequel route. Don’t believe me...? Well, Jason Bourne could follow that same path.

We already know what the master plan is for Marvel Studios... well, besides make totally kick-ass comic book movies that have us entering into geek overload, squealing like little girls at the very ideas of Iron Man and War Machine sharing the screen, or Thor and Captain America getting their own Marvel crossovers appearing in each of their respective flicks. However, the end game has always been to bring The Avengers together on the big screen, and Marvel is still targeting 2012 to make it happen... and, oh, will they make it happen. With “Thor” in front of cameras right now and Joe Johnston ready to take “Captain America” into production in the new few months, Marvel has to have some idea how they’re going to tie all of this together to get the ultimate teaming of superheroes to make fans jizz their pants, and finally we’ve been given some perspective on where all of this is going, thanks to the President of Production at Marvel Studios.

After the debacle that NBC has perpetuated over the last couple of weeks, Conan O’Brien is finally free of the television toilet known as the Peacock network... probably because, in addition to its shitty programming, birds are more than willing to poop all over the building at 30 Rock. So really... it’s not just a clever nickname. NBC is returning the unfunny, giant-chinned douchebag named Jay Leno back to his old spot at 11:35 p.m. on the now damaged brand known as “The Tonight Show,” while Conan receives a settlement of $45 million to be released from his contract ($12 million of which will go to supplement severance packages for his staff). While details of the settlement remain under wraps, it appears that O’Brien will have to hold off launching anything new until September 1, with no word on if that means on-air or negotiations for future programming entirely, and, as it stands right now, that NBC would own all intellectual property of Conan O’Brien and both his “Tonight Show” and “Late Night” brand, meaning that you very well may have seen the last of the Masturbating Bear and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

The interwebs have been overrun by rumors of who’s in and who’s out of the planned sequel to “The Hangover” with the sweeping hair of Zac Efron topping the list. Well, fear not, anyone who’s not a fan of the “High School Musical” franchise. The credibility of awesomeness that “The Hangover” wears like a badge of honor will not be jeopardized by adding Zac to the drunken stupor of a movie. but there are some developments as to when “The Hangover 2” might be ready to go before cameras, which, of course, leads to even more developments as to when the movie might see theatres, which then leads to those developments having little baby developments, but then the other development is like, “Why don’t you get a job, you lazy piece of shit?” And then the first development responds back by saying, “I’m trying my best. I cook and clean around here and take care of our little developments all day and never get any appreciation, while you’re out fucking the pool boy,” and then... well, let’s get to the details.

Who doesn’t like dinosaurs...? Well, besides Communists... oh, and people who have been eaten by dinosaurs... and let’s not forget those of you who were forced to watch Barney in our youth. Other than those poor bastards though, everyone enjoys seeing some dinosaurs in a movie. In fact, some movies might have benefited from including dinosaurs, of only to make them even better. You’re not going to tell The Kidd that “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” wouldn’t have at least been watchable if things ended with Kevin James’ fat ass getting chewed on by a T-Rex, or that some raptors wouldn’t have lessened the disappointment you felt after realizing “Wolverine” blew. Hell... even “Schindler’s List,” as great as it was, could have possibly gone down as the best movie of all-time if it just threw in some dinosaurs to eat Hitler (and there go all my Jewish readers). In any event, our prayers have been answered, and more dinosaurs are on the way. Well, I don’t know if we were really praying, as “The Lost World” was what it was, which was not very good, and “Jurassic Park III” really only exists to give us something better than “Jurassic Park II.” However, the awesomeness of seeing the original film is enough to get The Kidd excited about the prospect of a fourth movie, and, while it’s been rumored to be happening for awhile, those rumors may be turning into truth quickly.

Okay, Twi-hards. The Kidd has a bit of tough news to break to you. Now, you might want to sit down for this, because it might be a bit rough for you knowing your hardcore dedication towards the books and the movies. However, with “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” already wrapped and rolling towards a June 30 release date this summer, there still remains confusion amongst everyone as to why the finale of the series, “Breaking Dawn” hasn’t been greenlit yet. Sure, the actors are all locked up for a fourth movie... but there’s no director, and, as of now, only a work-in-progress script. But how is that possible? With the first three movies barreling at us at breakneck speed, why would things suddenly slow down dramatically when it comes to wrapping things up, especially considering the building interest in the films and the climbing box office receipts? Could it be perhaps because no one knows what the fuck to do with this fourth (and possibly fifth) movie that puts a nice little bow on the whole franchise? Hmmm... yep, it certainly could be.

The Kidd was doing his research for today’s blog, going through the stories that caught my eye, paying attention to what seemed noteworthy, and then it happened... the bomb finally dropped. So, the discussions about “twilight,” Indiana Jones, and Hannah Montana will have to be put on hold for now, because there is much bigger news that has shaken the film industry. “Spider-Man 4” is officially dead. You have no idea the amount of sadness that wells up inside of me just having to acknowledge that fact, and writing it down to legitimize it only makes it worse. We’ve been talking for weeks now about the major problems plaguing “Spider-Man 4,” with script issues upon script issues setting the stage for the battle between Sony and Sam Raimi over what a fourth Spidey movie should look like. And, ultimately, it was going to come down to a situation of it being done Sony’s way or the highway. Well, that decision was made yesterday, and the highway won.
