Movie News: Low guttural German

The Angry Sea



Robert Hood's got all the details about this low-budget, but impressive-looking movie about 18th century sea monsters. 

Mel Gibson's Viking movie

Not much info other than he's making one and he wants at least part of it to be spoken in Old Norse. Sub-titles don't bother me, so that's okay with me. And I like his rationale for doing it that way. He wants the Vikings to be scary.

I don’t want a Viking to say, “I’m going to die with a sword in my hand.”  I don’t want to hear that ...  I want to see somebody who I have never seen before speaking low guttural German who scares the living shit out of me coming up to my house.

Jurassic Park 4

It's coming, but remember that Hollywood's favorite word right now is "reboot."

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Martin Scorsese's planning to adapt The Invention of Hugo Cabret the steampunk novel about an orphaned thief, a bookish girl, a toyseller, and a mechanical man.

Bruce vs Frankenstein

The sequel to My Name is Bruce will have Bruce Campbell visiting Europe. I only wish I could figure out what he'll be doing once he gets there.

Meet Conan



The new Conan movie has a star. I'm still skeptical about the plot, but I'll buy Jason Momoa as the Cimmerian. 

Meet John Carter's nephew



The new John Carter movie will feature Juni from the Spy Kids movies as Carter's teenaged nephew, a young man named Edgar Rice Burroughs. That's kind of cool actually.
