Scream 5?

It looks as though there may be another Scream film in the works.

Even though Scream 4 had a pretty disappointing box office performance compared to its predecessors director Wes Craven has told Movie Web that there is a high possibility of another.

The director said, "Yes. The odds are that there will be a Scream 5. It is something that Bob Weinstein wants to do. He tends to do what he wants to do. So I am inclined to think that there will be another sequel. Whether I will be a part of it or not? I don't know. My contract gives me the first look. If they show me something that is really wonderful? Of course I will be a part of it." 

So it looks as though those rumors of a new trilogy may be true, Craven added, “Going into Scream 4, the first meeting I had with Kevin Williamson he did sketch out a Scream 5 and6. The idea was that we were doing the first in a new trilogy. We had to wait to see if we made enough money on each film to make the next one viable. If that happens, those two will come up with the concepts and an idea that is worth fulfilling."

But if you want to know whether Scream 4 was an indication as to where the second part of the franchise was going then you’ll have to wait, "I'd have to kill you if I told you. It's better to have an ending where you can't tell where it's going to go next than to have an ending where you go, 'Oh, that is the hook for the sequel. That is the hook for the next one.' We felt it was better to let the audience speculate than to have all of these clues placed in their lap. It's not a matter of not being smart enough. We're clever at this, let's just put it that way,"

It will be interesting to see if there is another Scream movie but only time will tell.

Is This The New Bond Girl?

Rumours are circulating that unknown actress Berenice Marlohe will be the next bond girl.

Rumours have been flying around for ages wondering who the next bond girl is, with the likes of Olivia Wilde and Frieda Pinto being thrown in to the mix and then denied.

But it is apparently this French actress who will be making Daniel Craig go weak at the knees in the still unnamed Bond 23.

The actress who is relatively unknown outside her native France, is currently making the transition from French television into film and is currently making her first film Un bonheur n’arrive jamais seul for James Huth.

If she does get the role not only will it be a major career boost, considering she’s only just making her first feature film, but it will also launch her into the mainstream movie world, after all the role of the bond girl is something most actress’ dream of, considering how many female stars the role has made, Ursula Andress anyone?

So it looks like we will have to sit and wait to see if she is confirmed or denied.

Rooney For Oldboy?

If the rumours are correct it looks as though Rooney Mara may be taking the female lead in the remake of Oldboy.

The actress is apparently the first choice for the female lead in the movie and if she does sign on to star in Spike Lee’s remake, she will be starring alongside Josh Brolin and Christian Bale.

Mara is definitely one to watch at the moment after roles in hit movies Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network and last years remake of Nightmare on Elm Street.

Oldboy will feature Josh Brolin in the lead role as a man who is kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years and is then finally released. Bale is apparently on board to be playing the film’s villain, so I’m guessing the man who imprisons Brolin’s character, however it has not been confirmed or denied that Bales is officially staring in the movie.

The film’s script has been written by Mark Protosevich and it has not been announced as of yet when the film will be shooting or hitting screens. Well I guess they have to get the cast sorted first.
