Currently Browsing: "Musical"

The assumed success of McG’s upcoming Terminator: Salvation has brought the director a wealth of future projects to choose between. And according to reports, his next film might just be a musical.

Hugh Jackman won’t be involved in Steven Soderbergh’s Cleopatra musical. In other news, Steven Soderbergh is conceiving a Cleopatra musical.

There’s nothing in Cleopatra that screams out for 3D, unlike say, Soderbergh’s currently in-production The Girlfriend Experience starring porn star Sasha Grey. So why’s he doing it?

I can see it in my head now – a blood spattered line dance of Patrick Batemans, leg kicking with chainsaws in hand to the sounds of “Hip to Be Square.”

Sounds like we found something to wash that dirty taste out of our mouths from Spider-Man 3.

I hate to have to throw myself into the fires of minority hell, but I’m compelled to vote no on Tim Burton’s dour, overly dark and overly bloody Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Alan Rickman and Johnny Depp both equate it to some good, old school horror, but they don’t talk much about the song-and-dance. I wonder if this is intentional on the part of Paramount’s marketing department.
