ONE, TWO, FREDDY’S COMIN’ FOR YOU
The first pictures of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Kruger, in Platinum Dunes 2010 remake of Wes Craven’s franchise birthing classic, emerged this week. Both the poster (above) and this first still have much of Freddy’s face shrouded in shadow, but they suggest something very much like the Freddy of old. Which begs the question that dogs all remakes. Why bother? Okay you don’t want to upset the old fans, but really, can’t you make the character a BIT different if you are reinventing him? Perhaps the final reveal will show that the re-design is more profound than this suggests, but so far I’m uninspired by what I’m seeing.
JEFF BRIDGES IS AWESOME
Here’s Jeff Bridges mucking around on the set of Tron: Legacy [formerly known as Tron 2.0, Tr2n and just plain Tron]. He’s got his Tron costume on, along with the cardigan he wore as The Dude in The Big Lebowski and is clearly having a bit of fun channeling The Dude for the amusement of cast and crew, a fun first image for Tron: Legacy.
RETURN OF THE DRAGON
It is total fairytale nonsense, but I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. However, Lee’s family were unhappy with the film. Now his widow Linda has sold the rights to the story of Lee’s life to Chinese producers who intend to make a trilogy of biopics, the first will cast an unknown as Lee and focus on his teenage years and his training with the legendary Yip Man.BBFC DECISIONS
