Jack Black will play a wrestling preacher. That’s funny enough without a punchline.
Donnie Darko director Richard Kelley’s carefully guarded new project Southland Tales is beginning to emerge from the fog. And yes, the surprises have already begun.
Jack Black, a Wrestling Priest? Donnie Darko Director Directs The Rock?
April 21, 2005
If you haven’t seen Firefly you need to. I didn’t see it when it was on TV, but after reading some reviews and seeing the trailer for the Serenity, I ordered the DVDs from Amazon. I was not disappointed. This is an absolutely amazing series, and both my wife and I were near tears when we realized we’d watched all 12 episodes ever created an there were not more to be seen.
It’s fun, funny, passionate, thought-provoking television at it’s best.
I hope the movie is half as good as the TV series was. If it is, it will be an exceptional movie.
Forgive me Jeff, but I saw the trailers for Serenity and they look … horrendous. I must be missing something, because I can’t seem to discern the difference between this film and a Christian Slater Z-film.
I speculate that the trailer, like all trailers, is intended to appeal to those who are drawn in by trailers–i.e., the audience for Christian Slater Z-films.
Nevertheless, word-of-mouth from those who’ve seen previews of the close-to-finished film say it’s more than half as good as the TV series, which is also being re-run on SciFi channel, starting Friday 7/22 at 7 p.m. EDT.
So, it’s like the X-Files movie? Being a late-blooming Whedon fan, I never caught the series because, well being a youth worker, I’m never home to watch prime time tv, spending my precious free evenings with friends or at a coffee-shop. So, I’m planning on renting the series.
I better like it! Or else!
Trailers is trailers: they need to hook you. I saw a nice draft edit of a scene at a convention a few months ago, and it was paced very much like the TV show only fleshed out more (does that make sense?) I’m very much looking forward to it! The trailer shows a lot of action stuff, but that was not what drove the series and I don’t think it drives the movie, either.
