Trade Roundup: Clint Eastwood Back In The Driver's Seat
Posted by Seth at 9:06 AM on March 20, 2008
· Clint Eastwood will direct and star in Gran Torino for Warner Bros. While details "are being kept under tantalisingly tight wraps," muscle car enthusiasts are hoping the grizzled star of Dirty Harry will be voicing the Laser Striped title vehicle. [Variety]
· Juno-seeder Michael Cera in talks to star in Universal's Scott Pilgrim's Little Life, an adrom (adventure romance) about "a young slacker (Cera) who meets the woman of his dreams but finds that he can only win her heart by battling and defeating her seven evil ex-boyfriends." [THR]
· Anton Yelchin is in talks to play the Michael Biehn role of Kyle Reese: Post-Apocalyptic Warrior in McG's meaninglessly titled Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. [THR]
· Battlestar Galactica fans: sad face. The hit Sci Fi Channel series won't be getting a motion picture treatment. [THR]

How did anything Terminator related survive the apocalypse that was the Sarah Conner Chronicles?

All Bluth's can do no wrong by me, and for that reason I will support this Scott Pilgrim endeavor.

@metroville: Terminator Take It 2 The Streets would have been jazzier.
Or Terminator 4: Finally, Giant Fucking Robots! - I could see a lively marketing campaign for that one.
And is someone at the Hollywood Reporter shnarking peyote during their coffee breaks? To whit:
It's unclear if the father and child reunion is only a cyborg motion away in the new film.

It's as if the producers of the Terminator project decided that they loved a number of potential titles too much to do away with any of them, so they opted to just smash them all together. Check and mate.

@TheStarterWife: Which really begs the question, how have "The Sarah Conner Chronicles" survived the apocalypse that is "The Sarah Conner Chronicles"?

@Tiger_Tanaka: Terms of Terminator Endearment...or Terminator 4: Now With More CGI Than You Can Shake A Stick At...or The Terminator Chronicles: The Lion, The Witch and the Cyborg...

I hate to admit it, but that Michael Cera movie sounds brilliant.
Even more than I hate admitting THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES kicks major ass.

@Omelas: Wow. Talk about something that is going to be discussed at USC's Modern Film and TV Philosophy 104 in about five years.
