Last week Robert Rodriguez said the following about his fiancée Rose McGowan:

“Rose is a pistol. She’s whip-smart, has attitude to burn, is sexy, extremely strong, yet has a vulnerable side that would surprise her closest friends. That description also fits Red Sonja.”

He said that in an article by Variety who broke the news that he would be producing a remake of Red Sonja, with Rose McGowan playing the lead.

Cut to today and the pair have apparently split. Now, Filmonic is not a gossip site and couldn’t give a crap who is bonking who, but this shocking revelation could affect Red Sonja and the Barbarella remake. Robert had just managed to get Red Sonja green light and filming was expected to begin in October. Does this mean Rose McGown will be replaced? Or will they be ‘professional’ and carry on regardless?

The gossip sites say the sources believe the split it due to McGowan not being famous enough, therefore Robert cannot get financing for movies such as Barbarella. If this is true then I think Robert Rodriquez should actually hire a casting director and stop using his penis to cast roles. We know Tim Burton does it by casting Helena Bonham Carter in everything, but he has a famous actor who goes by the name of ‘Johnny Depp’ in the movies as well, so they have no problem getting greenlight.

However, I think there are other reasons for the split. You don’t compare your fiancée to the Virgin Mary one week and then split the next. You also don’t split because your partner isn’t famous enough to get movies green light, a week after a movie with your partner in the lead gets green light.

The trailer for Mutant Chronicles has finally made its way online. I’ve been following this movie for a while so I’m glad we finally have a trailer. AICN say:

Tom Jane and Perlman say this flick is something they’re proud of. I’ve talked to both of them about stuff they’ve done and they’ve been completely unfiltered about their opinion, having been very blunt about bad experiences and bad films in their filmography

It’s good they are proud of it because it does look dark and interesting, but then again Halle Berry was proud of Catwoman. It is obvious the movie didn’t have the biggest budget but that doesn’t mean it wont be a treat.

Below we have a promo trailer for Saw V which will be out in October. For those not fluent in Roman Numerals that’s ‘5′. This is the fifth movie in the franchise and the cow is milked so much it is starting to look like Nicole Ritchie.

Almost everyone brought in to try and solve the Jigsaw mystery has died or been injured. With John’s dead body in the hospital, Officer Rigg badly injured and still in the warehouse, Agent Perez recovering in the hospital, and Agent Straum nowhere to be found, that leaves one. On hearing the news that Jigsaw’s games will continue after his death, Detective Hoffman has disappeared, and a whole new game is about to start.

Update: Its fan made, but I’ll keep it up anyway.

Last week we got Batman vs. Batman vs. Batman and now we have Batman vs. Hellboy. I’m loving all of these trailer mash-ups, and long may fanboys with video editing software continue to make them!

The Hulk franchise has just had a revamp and now it could be Superman’s turn. Mark Millar, the writer behind Wanted told The Daily Record some interesting info:

“I’ve been planning this my entire life. I’ve got my director and producer set up, and it’ll be 2011. This is how far ahead you have to think. The Superman brand is toxic after that last movie lost 200 million, but in 2011 we’re hoping to restart it. Sadly I can’t say who the director is, but we may make it official by Christmas. But fingers crossed it could work out, that would be my lifetime’s dream.”

It was only a few months ago that Bryan Singer told us he had intentions to direct Superman: Man of Steel, so something may be going on at Warner Bros.

Superman Returns only just made $200 million in America, and less than that worldwide. If they were going for the ‘three years between sequels’ thing they would have started by now, or we would have heard something at least.

However, keep in mind that Mark Millar got himself into some hot water after generating a story that Eminem was “begging” to star in Wanted. Eminem’s agent and Universal issued strong denials about the story and it was revealed to be a publicity stunt to get Millar some free press. Could Millar be saying this just to generate some buzz so that he can fulfil his life long dream?

Sacha Baron Cohen, creator of Ali G and Borat, will play Sherlock Holmes according to Variety. Friend and fellow funny man Will Ferrell will play his crime-solving partner Dr Watson. The movie will be a comedy (obviously) and has nothing to do with the Sherlock Holmes movie Guy Ritchie is working on. Producer Matt Tolmach says:

“Sacha and Will are two of the funniest and most talented guys on the planet, and having them take on these two iconic characters is frankly hilarious.”

The pair worked together on Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby which did rather well. However Ferrell’s most recent movie, Semi-Pro, didn’t do that great at the box office which could suggest people are tired of Will Ferrell playing Will Ferrell just with a different setting. Hopefully this Sherlock Holmes movie will require him to act a little, rather just play his loud and obnoxious self.

Great, now I won’t be able to sleep. Afraid of the Boogeyman? Well, then don’t look in the Mirrors.

Red Band trailer, LOTS OF BLOOD.
