HOT LINKS MOVIE NEWS 12-14 FIRESTARTER REBOOT, 2010 FILM WITH MOST MISTAKES, SNOW WHITE CASTING & HORROR MOVIES SNUBBED BY OSCARS

  • Universal and Dino De Laurentis Co. are teaming to reboot Mark L. Lester’s Firestarter, based on the horror novel by Stephen King about a father-daughter pair with special abilities. source

Really? Raise your hand if you’re sick of the “reboots” cause I sure as hell am tired of it. Where are the original ideas like Inception? However, I do see the Firestarter might be interesting with better special effects. Then again, I loved Drew Barrymore in the original. What do you think?

  • “Iron Man 2″has been named the most blunder-full film of 2010 in website MovieMistakes.com’s end of year poll. source

I didn’t notice any mistakes, lol – that’s how unaware I was while watching the movie. Did you notice mistakes? Did the mistakes change how you feel about the movie?

  • SNOW WHITE Casting: Julia Roberts, Michael Fassbender, and Shortlist to Play Snow White. source

Sounds like it’s all rumors with casting so far. There are quite a few big names involved, like Charlize Theron, Julia Roberts, Tom Hardy etc..It’s interesting that the studio first leaned toward Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. I’m not surprised they moved away from them. What do you think?

  • How do you feel about 100 years of horror movies being snubbed by the Oscars? more here.

I have to admit that I’m not a fan of the horror genre. But it sucks when any genre of movies is snubbed. I hated it when LOTR was snubbed until the final movie. What do you think?
