Hold your parrots – Idle says Python reunion “bollocks”
by Doc on Feb.01, 2012, under Movies, Television
Prepare to have your hopes dashed…that rumored reunion of the surviving Monty Python cast for a SF comedy might not be real – at least according to Eric Idle, the only one that supposedly hadn’t signed on yet.
On Idle’s blog, the comedian said: “And by the way these Python reunion rumors are just bollocks. Some greedy bastard producer in Hollywood floating an idea. It’s annoying but there seems little we can do about this sort of thing, except to release his name for public abuse, which I am reluctant to do as he is a soccer fan. So watch it or you will be outed as a twat dear…”
Is he joking? Angling for more money? Still mad at the reaction to Spamalot by some of his Python pals? Or was it just someone floating an idea and claiming people were signed when they weren’t? No idea…but I still want to see SOME sort of reunion…

Games to screen: Universal drops Stretch Armstrong; Stiller in for Candy Land with Columbia
by Doc on Jan.31, 2012, under Games, Movies
An interesting 24 hours in the “games to screen” craze…it seems that Universal has been second-guessing its idea to bring a lot of Hasbro games to the big screen. Although Battleship is starting to generate heat, the studio has dropped plans for several others by placing them in turnaround (where other studios can pick them up), like Monopoly and Magic: The Gathering.
Stretch Armstrong has apparently landed on that list. It originally had Taylor Lautner (Twlight saga) attached to star, but Universal put it in to turnaround where it was picked up by Relativity Media – but now Lautner is out. Lautner’s people say it was their decision, but it also seems that the studio may not see Lautner as having enough draw.
Another former Universal/Hasbro project, Candy Land, was also placed in turnaround, and currently Columbia Pictures/Sony is in talks to develop the movie, with Ben Stiller (Bedtime Stories) set to star and possibly co-write the screenplay with Robert Smigel (Saturday Night Live) and directed by Kevin Lima (Enchanted).
