They’re really, seriously making “Battleship: The Movie“. And you thought comic book movies were bad?
(On the other hand, Funny or Die has a great “What other movies could they make?” post, which happens to include Clue(do):
When your family is more prolific than the Kennedys’ and more secretive than the Knights Templar, reunions can be a tedious affair. Especially when the mysterious, estranged patriarch is discovered dead before dinner can be served. Now in two days the Von Clu family must try to find a killer without murdering each other first. (Will be a quirky reboot of the storied Clue franchise)
Starring Bill Murray as Colonel Mustard, Meryl Streep as Ms. White, Angelica Houston as Mrs. Peacock, Luke Wilson as Rev. Green, Christina Ricci as Miss Scarlett and Jason Schwartzman as Professor Plum. Written and directed by Wes Anderson. That joke is an elevator pitch worth $25 million right there.
Seriously, I didn’t think this could possibly be real either. Also…Rihanna? She can’t even sing, how is she supposed to act?
Rather badly, one suspects :) (though objection on the singing part there!)
