I just got Mission Impossible 3 in the mail today from my favorite movie-by-mail rental program, and the only reason why I want to watch it is to form an opinion on JJ Abrams as a director. Why? Well, because I’m a fan of Star Trek and would like to see more Trek films in the future. If JJ messes the next Star Trek up, it may be a while before we get another.
Anyway, JJ Abrams did announce that James T. Kirk will be appearing in his Star Trek film. Of course that doesn’t mean a lot because we don’t really know what it means. Is this a young Kirk? Is this the return of Shatner somehow? Is it a secondary role?
I don’t know about that, only that he better not mess it up.
The film version of Angels & Demons, the prequel to The Da Vinci Code, is closer to reality. Tom Hanks is almost signed to star.
I’m one of the folks who didn’t hate the movie version of the best-selling book The Da Vinci Code, so I wouldn’t mind seeing Angels & Demons come to the big screen. The Da Vinci Code was directed by Ron Howard, and according to the listing at IMDB, he’ll be directing the sequel as well.
