Hey folks, Harry here. Right this very second I am mere yards from the ocean preparing for a daring information heist of epic proportions. Moriarty and I are getting ready to do... that which we do best. Infiltrate and come back with... knowledge.
Forgive me if I'm being deliberately vague, but... you know... I ain't Babe Ruth, I'm not going to point to where I'm gonna knock the ball... But I will say it's gonna head out of the park.
I will give a hint, cause I'm curious to see if any talk backers can put it together with this little information. The mission is of great interest to fans in the UK, concerning a film which will bring world wide acclaim to .... ah ah ah... You didn't say the magic word.
Patience. All will be revealed to you soon. Tomorrow's update will be... glorious. Heheheheheheh.
Meanwhile, I want to address and give y'all a couple of rumors floating around at the moment.
Rumor has it that George Miller is writing MAD MAX 4. This is true. However, some places are saying that Mel Gibson is attached and committed to starring in it. This is, as far as I know, bullshit. First, Mel would not commit till a script was finished. Second, Mel would hold off till he drained Warner Brothers of a princely sum that would make the LETHAL WEAPON 4 deal look like alms for the poor. Now, I hope this movie comes to pass, and I hope Mel and George Miller do it, and I hope it kicks ass. BUT I figure I should give you a realistic rundown on where things are. The scoop that is out there has been shifting in form. Initially it was just reported that George was writing a 4th film. Somewhere along the way, as it moved from website to website, Mel's name was added.
Then I got this bit in about RUSH HOUR 2
I got this information around April, but i've just got the web now. My friend, who works at New Line, tells me a script has been finalised for Rush Hour 2. He also adds Chan is 100% ready for the film, and the only stumbling block is Chris Tucker's long schedule, and a few racial jokes that may be too over the top. The film will be set in Japan, and involves Tucker's character being kidnapped. (that's what he said!). The interesting point is he seemed sure the film would start mid 2000. Very interesting. I haven't heard any media rumours of Rush Hour 2, so maybe take it with a grain of salt.
Meanwhile, TheForce.Net has recently claimed that the way things are looking there is a possiblity that the next STAR WARS could possibly be ready for 2001... BUT According to this recent interview with Lucas... It's headed in the opposite direction!
Hey, Harry! Matt here, webmaster of Episode2.net. I just found some HUGE Episode II news from a Swedish interview with George Lucas at the Swidish E-mag Expressen (the article is at http://expressen.se/article.asp?id=21459). Lucas says that it looks like it will be 2003 before Episode II is released! Such a sad article to have come out this past Friday, the 13th, huh? It has been translated to English by a Swedish visitor to my site (or at least the important stuff). If you post it, I'd appreciate a link to Episode2.net. Thanks a ton! Here's the important parts of the article, including the 2003 stuff:
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE COMMING PREQUELS?
-How about the title of the the next film "Episode 2" (hahaha). No, honestly, I can't and don't really want to say anything more then that the next film is a lovestory between Anakin and Queen Amidala
WHEN WILL THE NEXT FILM BE RELEASED?
-From the beginning my plans where to make them with three years interval, but now I've realised that it takes four years to do a movie in reality, because the production has been even more extensive than I could imagine. Still, the vision of course is to release "Episode 2" in 2002, but as it seems today, its more likely be in 2003.
HOW ARE THINGS GOING WITH EP.2?
-Right now, I dont do anything, I've decided to have a vacation the whole summer until september, the rest I have to worry about this fall. But its already decided that we are going to shot much of the film in Australia, and our producer has been working with the pre-production since a while back now.
There you go.
