Action Girl News: The Middleblog and Inside Man 2

Middleblog



Still no word (as far as I can tell) on whether there will be more Middleman, but I reckon that when there is, we'll hear about it first on the Middleblog. And until then, we can entertain ourselves by reading creator Javier Grillo-Marxuach's episode-by-episode annotations of the show's many pop-culture references.

Inside Man 2



Apologies for the lousy screen capture. I'm still trying to figure out how to do that.

Anyway, Spike Lee wants to make an Inside Man 2. It sounds like he's particularly interested in bringing back Denzel Washington and Clive Owen's characters in order to "develop their relationship further, but in a different standoff-like situation." The reason I'm mentioning it here though is to wonder whether Jodie Foster might also be involved. She was awesome in the first one, but ultimately she wasn't all that important or successful a character. I'd love to see her as more of a threat in the sequel.

The movie's being written by Terry George, which is exciting because he also wrote the excellent screenplays for In the Name of the Father and Hotel Rwanda.
