For fans of The Omen series (and really, who isn’t?) there’s good news. Fox has announced plans to release the original film plus a box set on Blu-ray this September. Fans will be able to purchase the original film separately, or a box set containing The Omen, Damien: The Omen II, The Final Conflict, and the 2006 remake The Omen: 666.
That’s the casting choice of Mike Judge, at least. Judge has said he’d loved to a live action version of the couch-dwellers and have it star Johhny Depp and Sean William Scott. Sound too bizarre to be true? Scott thought so too, but obviously doesn’t rule out the idea.
While it isn’t exactly official yet, there is now word that Back to the Future is coming to Blu-ray. A recent screening near Orlando surprised fans when produced Bob Gale premiered a new digital remaster of the film. He said the new print had been struck for the eventual release of a Blu-ray version.
Well, that’s the verdict from Latino Review, at least. They’ve reviewed a draft of the Justin Marks (Supermax, Voltron) penned Grayskull: The Masters of the Universe script and their verdict is that it’s fantastic. Really? A fantastic script about He-Man? The cartoon was never all that serious to begin with, so the idea of a serious live-action film version seems a little off to begin with. However, apparently that’s just what Marks has pulled off.
While for most people making $300,000 a year would be a nice little salary, the cast of The Simpsons wasn’t satisfied with that amount per episode. Instead, in their recent contract negotiations they asked for a $200,000 per episode raise from $300,000 to $500,000. Instead, Fox met them halfway.
In what might categorize for the most bizarre film news of the year, Sex and the City was not only the number one film this weekend, but by a long shot. Taking in an estimated $55.7 million, Sex trounced Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in its second weekend.
