Tropic Thunder Writer Brings Men in Black 3

From variety comes word that Sony is ramping up on the Men in Black 3 sequel. Ethan Cowen who did Tropic Thunder is slated to write the film which is great news since Tropic Thunder was the definition of hilarious.

No word on if SONY is having Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones back but I really do not know how you can do the film without them.

Air Guitar Nation Gets Fictional Remake from the Writer of Tropic Thunder

As I mentioned in a post a couple of days ago [1], there have been a ton of documentaries related to heavy metal lately, and one that sort of fits into that category as well is Alexandra Lipsitz's Air Guitar Nation. Documenting the US and World Air Guitar Championships from a few years back, the movie is more about performance art than music specifically, but either way it's a lot of fun. Now it looks like the documentary is about to be brought to a wider audience as part of a fictional comedy as well. According to THR's Risky Business Blog [2], Tropic Thunder writer Justin Theroux has signed on to produce a movie for Paramount called simply Air Guitar, set in the world of competitive air guitar. He will not actually be the one writing the script however; those duties will fall to Mike Lisbe and Nate Reger (Just Shoot Me!). As long as they don't do it as a mockumentary I could see it being decent, although as the article points out, a lot of rock-themed comedies haven't done so well at the box office lately (The Rocker, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny). Either way, I doubt it will surpass the doc... just go watch that instead!

NOT Available on DVD: Rolling Thunder

Paul Schrader followed his TAXI DRIVER screenplay with the one for ROLLING THUNDER, a gritty revenge thriller directed by John Flynn in 1977. Similarities abound as both are about Vietnam vets who are ticking time bombs pushed to the brink by the violence theyve come home to. But ROLLING THUNDERs plot eventually veers from character [...]

Tropic Thunder Writer Theroux Tackles Indian Casinos

Justin Theroux was bopping around for a while as an actor, but has somehow pulled off a second career renaissance as a screenwriter, taking to the page for last summer's Tropic Thunder and the upcoming Iron Man 2. And while his directorial debut Dedication didn't really make any waves when it was released in 2007 (I loved it, for what it's worth) he's getting ready to make his big studio directing debut with Chief Ron. Yeah, the title makes it sound like ...

Clifton in Thor?

Kenneth Branagh's feature version of Marvel's Thunder God THOR has been going through the casting process, and so far the lead roles have been filled by relative unknowns.
