  1. Cameron has been reading Joe Haldeman by SethJohnson · · Score: 3, Insightful · on Cameron's Avatar Trailer Posted



    Trailer reflects a lot of different Joe Haldeman books. I see pieces of "All My Sins Remembered," "Forever Peace," and a tiny bit of "Forever War." Ridley Scott's planning to film "Forever War," and he said he was inspired to do it in 3-D after seeing what Cameron had done with Avatar. The avatar thing connects with Haldeman's "Forever Peace" very well.

    Wish Taco would avoid the snide comment about the trailer lacking story. It's not like Cameron has proven himself a poor storyteller on his past films. Just because it's CGI and science fiction, doesn't mean this is going to be garbage like Transformers 2 or Terminator 4.

  3. Will Smith was in Handcock too? by HatofPig · · Score: 1 · on New Asimov Movies Coming

    After RTFA I noticed that they are also in the process of making a new Dune movie! http://sffmedia.com/films/science-fiction-films/179-this-time-its-for-real-new-dune-movie-confirmed.html

    Interesting article! The porno business must be booming if they can afford Will Smith to star in Handcock! And the original director too!

    Could you at least take 2 minutes to peruse the articles you're commenting on in the OP?

    "(John Cleese plays Klaatu's giant 8-foot robotic pal called "Gort.")"

    No he doesn't. From the article itself:

    "IGN reports that Cleese will play a physicist Dr. Barnhardt, a Nobel Prize laureate who helps work out why Klaatu and Gort have come to earth.

    Are you just a jackass are you just being dense on purpose?
