Wet HotWe have news today that Wet Hot American Summer may be getting a prequel, thanks to CHUD via cinematical for the following news:

Earlier this month, we learned that Diablo Cody was taking over LA’s New Beverly Cinema to screen some of her favorite films, and she put together some awesome double features. The most recent was a screening of Midnight Madness and Wet Hot American Summer, and as CHUD reports, director David Wain was there for a Q&A with Ms. Cody, and he revealed some little nuggets of news.

First, there’s going to be an anniversary DVD release at some point, which would probably means the 10th anniversary in 2011, since new releases usually don’t come out on eight or nine-year anniversaries. It would contain more footage, as anniversary editions often do, but Wain also said that it might come with a soundtrack.

Then he shared some others news — he might do a prequel to the film. This sounds half serious and half completely ludicrous, but he said that he was scheming up a prequel that would star the same cast — playing younger versions of themselves.

I still have to see this movie. It has been recommended to me by so many, and I really need to get off my ass and watch it. More often than not, when so many people recommend a film; I usually end up loving it.

The source at CHUD goes on to assure us that David Wain seemed serious about this project, but until we hear something official I am going to assume that it’s speculative at this point.

For those of you that have seen the film - would you be down to see a prequel or should they just leave it be?

Top Gun 2

Top Gun 2
We have rumblings this morning that a Top Gun 2 may be in the works…. starring Tom Cruise! We get the saucy scoop from our friends at cinematical: According to those extremely reliable cats at The Sun, a script outline for Top Gun 2 is done and “movie bosses” want Cruise to star.

Mav4We have rumblings this morning that a Top Gun 2 may be in the works…. starring Tom Cruise! We get the saucy scoop from our friends at cinematical:

According to those extremely reliable cats at The Sun, a script outline for Top Gun 2 is done and “movie bosses” want Cruise to star.

Apparently a source said this about the plot: “The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor - and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot.” Ooohh, original … and spicy! It’s like Karate Kid 4 meets A Really Big Paycheck for Tom Cruise! And yet … we’d all still see it. Why are we such suckers? We currently have no idea how real this rumor is, so for the time being I wouldn’t exactly break out into song and dance. Maybe it’ll happen, maybe it won’t.

In this film Maverick teaches his students how to prepare in the event of a UFO invasion against the forces of XENU!! He is a special operative with a dark past, a dirty secret. Eventually one of the students finds out that Mav is an alien abduction survivor and now spends his time preparing for revenge. Top Gun 2: The Wrath Of XENU!!!!

I would love for them to fight aliens in this film, but sadly we will probably have nothing half that cool. Remakes are getting needless, and a Top Gun 2 wreaks of desperate times for Cruise. I hope he doesn’t sign on for this one, because to get in that jet anew - you have to jump a shark.

International Friends - do any of you have any interest in seeing a Top Gun sequel? Or is it “Xenu or bust” for you too?

Thanks to Wintle for the heads up. It appears that Roger Ebert will also be leaving At The Movies following Richard Roeper out of the building. We get the following statement from Ebert’s own website.

After 33 years on the air, 23 of them with Disney, the studio has decided to take the program named “Siskel & Ebert” and then “Ebert & Roeper” in a new direction. I will no longer be associated with it.

Blam! That is a double fuck you to Disney! I wonder when we will find out the reasons these two decided to leave. What “direction” have they decided to take the show, that has brought about the ire of these two men? Will they work together again or find new partners for competing review shows….I suppose we shall see!

Well this is probably the shortest teaser trailer I have seen to date. This feels like an audio poster more than a trailer.
