The Morning Roundup: Fourth Bourne Film, New Posters, 300 and Kung Fu Panda Sequels Planned
Written by: Big Ross, CC2K Staff Writer
This morning we’ve got news related to a planned fourth film in the Jason Bourne series, casting in Polanski’s next project, new posters for Death Race and Quarantine, Sienna Miller talking about her inadequate cup size (wait, what?), and more!
Nic Cage and Pierce Brosnan have joined Roman Polanski's next project, The Ghost, about a ghost writer (Cage) hired to finish the memoirs of a British Prime Minister (Brosnan) who uncovers a scandal that puts them both in jeopardy.
In the good news/good news department, not only are Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon both set to return for a fourth Jason Bourne film, but they’re completely disregarding the fourth Bourne novel in favor of an original storyline, which looks to be set (at least in part) in South America.
Evidently Sienna Miller under went some temporary, ahem, augmentation for her role as Baroness in the upcoming G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. According to SFGate Miller said,
“(I wear a) tight black leather outfit. And much bigger boobs… They gave me these things that looked like chicken fillets. The director said, 'I'm gonna be honest, I like girls with big boobs,' and I don't have them so we made them bigger… At least he's honest. But I was mildly offended."
In sequel news, if you enjoyed either 300 or Kung Fu Panda (or like me, both) you might be happy to know you can expect sequels to both films. Though the 300 sequel might actually be a prequel, which would sort of make sense since 299 of them died at the end.
Hey! We can expect the first teaser trailer for the next Bond film, Quantum of Solace, to debut online next Monday! If at all possible we’ll have it for your viewing pleasure here on CC2k!
Wow. Is Paramount skipping ComicCon this year? With four big properties to hype – G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, Star Trek XI, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and The Last Airbender – that seems like a bad move, but /Film is reporting a Paramount spokesperson informed them: “The timing was off this year.” Ouch.
Also you can check out new posters for Death Race and Quarantine below. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge!
