Oh Yes, there will be blood

After earning massive bank at the box office this weekend, IMDb is reporting that Lionsgate Films said it would produce Saw 4 for next year.
The Saw films are a feather in Lionsgate's cap, earning more than $200 mil at the worldwide box office so far (that doesn't include video and dvd sales and airing rights for cable). Since producers have spent a mere $17.5 million to make all three films, making another Saw is a no brainer!
Also in movie news, IMDb is reporting a new Stanley Kubrick film is in the works, despite Kubrick's notable handicap of being dead. Kubrick's son-in-law is shopping around a script he found in the late director's belongings called Lunatics at Large. Will Kubrick be the next 2Pac? Stay tuned to find out.
Peter Jackson's vision for the movie adaptation of the popular video game, Halo, is proving to be too expensive for everyone, including Microsoft. Looks like it's game over man, game over.
And in the most bizarre example of comeuppance I have ever seen, Barbara Streisand had a drink thrown at her during a concert. According to AP, Streisand was performing a skit mocking Pres. George Bush when an audience member threw a “cup filled with liquid” at her. Of course, Streisand is charging between $100 and $700 for tickets, so it’s easy to see why anyone would be mad when she stops singing and starts acting (since all of her movies are in the dollar bin at Family Video-much less than her concert price).Another way to look at this is: The Republicans are mad as hell, and they’re not going to take it anymore. And they ain’t bringing flowers anymore. Read more about it HERE.

  • I know! What is it with people not letting things go? It was bad enough Kubrick ended his impressive career with a Tom Cruise film, now this!
