Fall’s biggest comedy 2012 opens today, so it’s time for us all to care what Roland Emmerich thinks. On that note, the man recently took time out from masturbating to tsunami footage, telling MTV that he’s planning for not one, but two Independence Day sequels. To be titled “‘ID4-ever, Part I and II maybe?” I think he was joking, but on the other hand it’s Roland Emmerich.
“What we want to do in the next – it’s actually two movies – we want to do a bigger arc,” he explained. “‘Independence Day’ was always like the king who leads his troops into battle against an evil force, and that stays like that.”
Independence Day arc: Aliens land. Aliens blow sh-t up. WELCOME DA EARFF! Humans blow up aliens. So what might the “bigger arc” be? Aliens land. Aliens blow sh-t up. WELCOME DA EARFF! Humans blow up aliens. …Pool party? That’s how they’d do it on Entourage.
I’m pretty sure this story is like six months old, but if MTV says it’s new who am I to argue. Besides, I need to refresh your memory about Brett Ratner’s plans to ruin re-ruin the Beverly Hills Cop franchise.
“The remake will not only maintain the original movie’s rating and star, it will also carry the same title. “We’re not going to call it ‘4,’ he said. “It will be a new ‘Beverly Hills Cop.’”
Not numbering your sequel?? It’s never been done! You’re a loose cannon, Ratner! This town isn’t ready!
“It’s a reinvention,” the director revealed. “I’m going to reintroduce it to a contemporary audience. I’m going to take the best of the first two films and put it into the new one.” Ratner cited a curious recent example. “Look at what they did with ‘Indiana Jones,’” he said. “Tonally you have three different films.”
And yet numerically, you have four different films. ‘Tis a paradox.
“Eddie Murphy to me was what Chris Tucker is to 12 and 13 year olds today,” he said. “I would never do another buddy cop movie, but to do ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ is a dream for me. Eddie is a genius.” [via MTV]
Whoa whoa whoa, are we gonna need to put out an Amber Alert on Chris Tucker? This kind of thing is nothing to joke about, my girlfriend’s 13.
Sorry guys. Seriously, I thought the Christian Bale parody thing was over. But apparently no one told Michael Cera (below, on the set of Youth in Revolt*) or Method Man in the clip above at an MTV panel from NY Comic-Con. I didn’t think it was very funny, but you’d never know it from the crowd reaction. Boy, they are loving him. You’d almost think he was a cool black guy in a room full of white dorks or something.
I haven’t been covering Michael-Cera-is-the-lone-holdout-for-the-Arrested-Development-movie gate much here, probably because I prefer stories that are interesting and/or factual. Nonetheless, MTV recently caught up with Cera at Sundance and finally had a chance to ask him about it. Cera says nothing is written at this point and that the movie is “more hypothetical than people think” – kind of like my pants. He doesn’t say anything about being a holdout, just that he’s still waiting to see a script. What an asshole!
This story is like a bad joke where you keep getting sidetracked before the punchline. I apologize in advance. Here goes:
1. MTV has awarded female Twilight fans the “Woman of the Year Award.” …There’s so much wrong with that sentence let alone the story behind it that I’m not even going to begin. There isn’t enough whiskey in the house.
2. They then asked fans to film their acceptance speeches. The above is one of them. I. Could not. Stop. Watching it. Halfway through, my brain tried to gnaw through my face to escape.
3. Here are some of the comments about the above video:
WHOO-HOO Bailey!!!! love you girl!!!
omg…i love her! she is hilarious!
Bailey, you’re so funny! You’re so right!! We all know who that Man of the Year should have been!
Haha not really that convincing but nice try anyway. Still, let us applaud her performance. I certainly had a good laugh at this :)
gahh.. i hate fans like this..they make the rest of the twilight fans look as crazy as they do!!! not all the fans are like this that make stupid videos. twilight fans are being sterotyped as crazy obsessed.. stupid!
Lmao, for the comment below, if you’d go on her channel, you’d know that this is her act. She drew on the eyeliner and smeared it, and also told someone to call in like that in the middle. She’s hilarious. And she’s one of the most “normal” and informative Twilight fans out there.
oh okay got ya, comment below. she seemed like a crazy fan for real..
Lmao. That was totally awesome haha. :-D
LMAO! She’s so funny!
Dear Congress: EMERGENCY ACTION REQUIRED. WE’VE RUN OUT OF EXCLAMATION POINTS.
4. FilmDrunk is awarding its Singular Entity of the Year Award to YOU! That’s right, you the person reading this! We couldn’t have done whatever it is we do without you, you extra special precious person! Hooray! Bask in the glow, you mouth-breathing trained seal you! Clap your flippers together and have a herring!
