News Round-Up: 11/2/06
Wesley Snipes and Stan Lee will be starring, Hosting, and doing their own stunts in Spike Lee's upcoming Unneeded Sequel which will showcase post-apocalyptic cities, Running Zombies, and possibly whiny nerds.
Wesley Snipes is ready to give himself up to the feds. Variety reports that he's reached an agreement with the IRS that - "...will likely see Snipes surrender to federal authorities when he next returns to the U.S. In return for agreeing to a payment plan, Snipes will not be jailed and will be allowed both to continue working and to travel abroad."
I don't believe for moment this is over. We're sending the TFL cameras to the airport when Snipes returns from shooting Gallowwalker in Namibia. We fully expect a spectacular escape as Snipes shoots down at least three agents while using the fourth as a human shield. Right before hurling himself through the window and safely landing on a cart of soft luggage, he'll snap the neck of a woman waiting in line at the Starbucks kiosk. Just because he can. Take that, Uncle Sam! -- Doug Slack

After obliterating its own catalog of monsters via Van Helsing, Universal has bought the rights to remake the Korean monster flick The Host. Keep in mind, The Host hasn't even been released yet. We here in the Colonies won't see it in theaters until January. That gives Universal two and a half months to film and release its own bastardization. Get crackin', guys! -- Doug Slack

Face front for some pulse-pounding Spider-Man 3 news, true believer! Stan "The Man" Lee himself revealed his cameo in the webhead's third installment is an actual speaking role. But that's not all! Smilin' Stan talks to none other than Peter Parker himself! Holy Hannah! Excelsior! 'Nuff said! -- Doug Slack

Inside Man may be getting a sequel. Director Spike Lee and Producer Brian Grazer are officially 'developing' the new film after the first was successful and really good too. Absolutely no news on which characters would return or why, really, they need to. -- Andrew Clarke

Raw footage from 28 Weeks Later has hit the net, courtesy of Fox Atomic. And though only glimpses of its potential goodness are evident, one thing's for sure: It already looks umpteen times better than the upcoming Day of the Dead remake. -- George Merchan
