It's the end of the world as we know it ... and I have a good feeling about Chris Pine.Terminator Salvation: Will the Governator show up in the new Terminator film? While Arnold won't be officially reprising his role in the flesh, word has it the legendary action star turned Governor of California was on set providing voice work so that those Hollywood effects wizards could take his old face and put it on someone else's bulked-up body ... and still have the Arnold we all know and love. Latino Review is currently hosting a photo that shows Arnold talking to Christian Bale behind the scenes. Is it a real photo? A photoshop job? We can't tell, but I wouldn't put it past McG to have more than a few surprises up his sleeves. Terminator: Salvation hits theaters on May 22.
Star Trek: While we won't be getting a brand new re-booted Star Trek movie for Christmas (thanks for nothing Santa!), the new look Trek will eventually touch down next May. However, one filmmaker has seen the almost-finished product and he's spilling only one or two of the beans. Speaking to MTV, Kevin Smith said "It's really strong. [J.J. Abrams] was rejiggering the opening few scenes. It's one of those things where you first heard about it and were like no they're not going to redo 'Star Trek'! And then you see the movie and you think, wow he did pull it off! He turned it into a viable renewed franchise." According to Smith, Chris Pine steals the show as the young Captain Kirk and Zoe Saldana is "really great" as Uhuru too.
After the jump: Paging Dr. Watson, a cocky Irish chain-smoker is waiting to see you in the lobby ...
Sherlock Holmes: The casting rumors continue to fly regarding the updated Sherlock Holmes, to be directed by Guy "Holy Crap He's Not Making Another British Gangster Movie" Ritchie. We know Robert Downey Jr. will play Sherlock Holmes, and that Russell Crowe will most likely land the part of Professor Moriarity -- even though rumors pegged him as Dr. Watson. Oh no, says JoBlo, as they claim Colin Farrell is the frontrunner to play Watson, even though nothing has been made official yet. Seems to me like Downey Jr. and Farrell would make for a pretty enticing on-screen duo, but is this the right project for that? What do you think?
1. Terminator - Unlike Star Trek, Terminator needs to work itself into the canon, having Arnold doing VO and CGing his face, is a great solution.
Star Trek - Did anyone want to see an 75+ Shatner running around anyways?
Sherlock - Depends on their angle. Farrell seems like overkill for a supporting role. I'm sure they'd be great together, and it would depend on how Farrell attacked the part. But Watson's always been a second player, he's mainly just there so Sherlock has someone to talk to so he can explain to audience what the hell's going on in his big mystery brain.
