Is history repeating itself? Once upon a time Sean Connery left the James Bond franchise, saying he would never again play the role. Roger Moore was brought in for an increasingly campy series of films, but 12 years later Connery was back as Bond in Never Say Never Again. Only it wasn’t part of the official franchise; it was a remake of fourth Bond film Thunderball, which courts had ruled belonged to producer and co-writer Kevin McClory (read this Wikipedia article for the complete confusing rundown). Now it seems that McClory is ready to pull that trick again – once more he’ll remake Thunderball, this time with Pierce Brosnan starring as Bond. At least that’s what he hopes – apparently an offer has been made, but there’s been no official word yet. This isn’t the first time McClory has thought about remaking his Thunderball remake – he was looking into doing it in the 90s, with Timothy Dalton as Bond. Would Brosnan come back? Rumor is that he is very unhappy with the way he was shunted off the franchise, so he could do it to make a point... and some dough. In an interesting sidenote, Thunderball introduces SPECTRE and Blofeld, who is Bond’s signature villain. With the confusion over who owns what when it comes to this property, that character remains essentially up in the air.

WARNING "POSSIBLE" ******SPOILERS****** Personally, I have little doubt that Spider-Man 3 is going to use me as an emotional ashtray - and I can't wait. Want to know how many of these shots actually figure into the film overall? This is all real, genuine, big spoiler stuff. "Read on if you dare..." Where does Venom come from? Well, the symbiote clings to Peter after a date with MJ - like gum on his shoe to begin with, almost. As he sleeps, covers him - we see this in the trailer. When he wakes up, he's hanging upside down on the side of a building - much like the final shot in the teaser. It's the old werewolf thing - but used to dramatise Peter's internal conflict. Venom adopts an appearance like the red/blue Spidey suit because Peter is wearing it when it covers him - though he's not wearing the mask, so there's a little dramatic license at play. Tut tut - can do better, Mr. Raimi. See me after class. Before getting on Peter, the symbiote has a rather 50's sci-fi origin, not unlike that of The Blob. It looks like Raimi has had a lot of fun with this element of the story. Okay - back to the plot. How does Eddie Brock become Venom? Well, when Spidey is "caught" by the symbiote, Brock follows this Venom character to a church bell tower. He's both trying to upstage Peter's coverage in the Bugle, and also twist the knife into Spidey. Here, Peter manages to overcome the symbiote and rip himself free of the suit, but some of it falls onto Brock. That is, of course, all he needs to soon "become" Venom. We see plenty of shots from this sequence in the teaser, including Brock's discovery of who is inside the suit just before the symbiote gets onto him. The Venom-Brock does not look exactly like the Venom-Spidey, but more organic, more like the comic book Venom. This is, apparently, due to the fact that Spidey had the red/blue suit on, Brock does not. Peter's split into two-halves in so many ways (Peter/Spidey, Spidey/Venom-Spidey, Peter/Dark Peter) that it would get confusing if the metaphorical values of each wasn't so clear. For most of the film, Spider-Man is in pursuit of Flint Marko, The Sandman, but we begin with an early Green Goblin/Spider-Man show-down - some of which is seen in the trailer - shot at night-time, Harry's face is exposed clearly in most shots, you see him fly into the wall fist first. It is only at the end of the film that Spidey faces off against Venom. Thankfully, Harry herein comes to his aid in Green Goblin guise, showing that he too has won his own internal conflict much like Peter has. Hurrah for Harry. Sadly, though, Harry is killed. Tears for Harry. Aunt May also dies within he film's running time. Trust me, you don't want to know when and where. Apparently, MJ does NOT die. I know I was expecting her to go, but if she does, it is somehow being kept an even bigger secret than the rest of these details. All the business in the trailer with the ring? Well, apparently, there's much ado about that piece of jewellery - and at one point, it even ends up in a pawn shop. The romance storylines from 1 and 2 are every bit as much of 3 - maybe more so. The Venom-Brock villain is conclusively dispatched, though the symbiote itself survives - so whatever hack is handed the series after Raimi leaves (taking Maguire and Dunst with him, no doubt) will be able to resurrect some kind of Venom villain. Dark Spidey, as it were - Peter before he has overcome Venom - is the one who courts Gwen Stacey. Problems in the relationship with MJ, as well as professional issues - both as a photographer and crime-fighting webslinger, as it were - compound to bring him down. Real down. Even downer than last time. That's how Raimi, Sargent and co are using Venom - as a dramatic device to show Peter not just giving up on his great responsibility, but getting drunk on his great power. Venom-Spidey fights some robbers, The Sandman and the Green Goblin before Peter dispels it in the bell-tower. There are scenes inside Curt Connor's lab, where he studies the symbiote, and these scenes are also used to set up the research that will, in the character's story - though not in this movie - turn him into The Lizard. Take these teasing references more as tantalising morsels for the fanboy piranhas than concrete set-up for any subsequent film, however. Spidey's fights with the Sandman not only take place in the Armoured Car chase so well covered on this blog (I was on set for much of the shooting) but also, I am told, in the subway. The final fight, the four-way rumble with Spidey, The Sandman, Venom and Harry as the Green Goblin, takes place in a construction site. The extra villain that everybody has been speculating about makes only a fleeting appearance, and then only in a very off-hand but amusing way. Bruce Campbell's character this time around is Quentin Beck - known to fans of the comic as Mysterio. Again, don't take this as set-up for a subsequent film, but if anybody ever does put Mysterio in a film and NOT cast Bruce Campbell, they'll have hell to pay. And of course, this also cleverly shines a new light on Campbell's two previous cameo appearances. Hilarious. I can now confirm that the Black Cat does not make any significant appearance in the film, despite existing, on paper, in various earlier conceptions. She appears to have been removed for and replaced with Gwen Stacey. She was there for "Dark Peter" to romance, but Stacey was possibly considered a better choice as the franchise will need a new sweetheart now Dunst has made her intentions to depart clear.

Did Fox learn a valuable lesson after dragging their feet for so long getting X-Men 3 together after X2 proved to be a hit? Probably not -- it's likely just the super-powered box office of the franchise that has motivated them to get another mutant movie into theaters for 2007. Because a rushed production schedule yielded such magnificent results the last time. Does Bryan Singer have another project they need to beat to theaters or something? At the Cine Expo currently going on in Amsterdam (how does anyone get any work accomplished in a city of legalized narcotics and prostitution?), Fox promised the gathering of exhibitors that Wolverine would be ready to slice up stoned fans and other moviegoers some time next year, with a prerecorded message from Jackman himself (also a producer on the movie) confirming the news. We still don't know much about this adamantium-laced X-spinoff (which still has no director officially attached), aside from the fact that David Benioff (Troy) has been working on the script and that it'll be a prequel story, or at least contain a significant amount of flashbacks (which reportedly include Sabretooth). My recommendation would be to avoid incorporating anything from that supershitty Origin series Marvel published a couple of years back. Logan's really a sissy rich boy named James Howlett? Spurious!

Resident Evil: Extinction (September 21st, 2007) Director: Russell Mulcahy Writer: Paul W.S. Anderson Cast: Milla Jovovich, Oded Fehr, Mike Epps, Ali Larter, Chris Egan, Ashanti, Iain Glen, Sienna Guillory, Jason O'Mara Summary: The third and final installment of the $100 million RESIDENT EVIL hits, Resident Evil: Extinction is again based on the wildly popular video game series and picks up where the last film left off. Alice (Milla), now in hiding in the Nevada desert, once again joins forces with Carlos Olivera (ODED FEHR) and L.J. (Mike Epps), along with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke ) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti) to try to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being undead...and to seek justice. Since being captured by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has been subjected to biogenic experimentation and becomes genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive.
She buffed up for DOA, just saw her on entertainment tonight still waiting for the skinwalkers trailer......

Fox orders less than full fourth season of SoCal teen drama. The future of Orange is looking Grey. Fox is ordering only 16 episodes of the Southern California teen drama The OC for next season. The normal episode order for a full season is 22, but The OC has averaged 25 for its three seasons so far, so the cutback is casting doubt about the future of the show beyond next season. The new season of The OC doesn't premiere until November 2, due to the Major League Baseball season. According to Variety, Fox will be done with the show in February, and may look to replace it with a midseason series. The fact that most of the teen cast will be leaving high school and going to college, along with the death of a major character at the end of last season, indicates that Fox may be wrapping up the show. The OC has slipped in the ratings this past season, and ABC announced it is moving powerhouse Grey's Anatomy opposite the show in the 9 p.m. time slot. When it premiered in August 2003, The OC averaged around 8 million viewers a week and had a high "cool factor," with popular bands playing on the show and its soundtrack. The show sank to a weekly average of 5 million viewers in the 2005-2006 season. Thursday has always been a competitive night, ever since the demise of NBC's dominant "must see TV" shows Friends and Seinfeld. At one point, the battle for Thursday was again heating up when NBC slated the Aaron Sorkin SNL parody Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip for the night, opposite current ratings champ CSI on CBS. When ABC made the decision to move ascendant Grey's Anatomy to the 9 p.m. time slot as well, NBC balked and moved Studio 60 to Mondays at 10 p.m. I blame Micha barton, she is now im my list
