Just a few notes from the last couple days.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/a> The newly-restored cut of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes<\/a><\/i> (1972) came out on Blu-Ray<\/a> this week, so what better time to start spreading rumours of a possible remake, reportedly called Genesis: Apes<\/i>. \u2014 The Screengrab<\/a> (x2<\/a>), CHUD.com<\/a><\/p>\n

2.<\/a> The official website for Tres d\u00edas<\/a><\/i>, AKA Before the Fall<\/i>, now has a trailer. The film looks sort of like a cross between Deep Impact<\/a><\/i> and Last Night<\/i> (my review<\/a>), both of which came out in 1998 \u2014 has it been ten years already? \u2014 but its basic premise \u2014 an impending global catastrophe wrought by an incoming meteor \u2014 goes at least as far back as Abel Gance\u2019s La fin du monde<\/a><\/i> (1931). \u2014 Before the Fall<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

3.<\/a> Comics writer Grant Morrison may be involved with the in-development big-screen version of The Flash<\/a><\/i>, but he says he can\u2019t talk about it. \u2014 MTV Splash Page<\/a><\/p>\n

4.<\/a> Jerry Bruckheimer met some online reporters on the set of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time<\/i>, and talked about the current states of Pirates of the Caribbean 4<\/a><\/i>, National Treasure 3<\/a><\/i>, The Lone Ranger<\/a><\/i> and The Sorcerer\u2019s Apprentice<\/i>. \u2014 Cinematical<\/a>, ComingSoon.net<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
