– Remember when we reported that someone else had reported Sean Connery’s tenuous involvement in the 4th Indiana Jones movie as Harrison Ford’s father? Well, guess what? Sounds like Lucas and Spielberg are shit out of luck and Sean Connery would rather tan and eat grapes than hang out with those losers. Never say never? Oooooh, burnsauce. “I thought long and hard about it, but in the end, retirement is just too damned much fun,” Connery wrote on the “Indiana Jones” website. George Lucas told Coming Soon a few weeks back, “If [Connery] doesn’t do it, we’ll do a quick rewrite.” Amazing and laughable. The movie starts shooting later this month. Delete all references to Indy’s dad, quick![Yahoo]
– Matt Damon might be done with the “Bourne” franchises, but that don’t mean that he’s done with director Paul Greengrass. Damon will star in the adaptation of “Imperial Life in the Emerald City,”a nonfiction novel about the day-to-day in Baghdad’s Green Zone. [Variety]
– Why do we link to nerd cinema stories so much when it’s a genre we basically loathe? Good question. Frank Miller says after a million years of production headaches and stalls that he himself can’t even fathom, there will be a “Sin City 3,” on top of the already-planned, “Sin City 2.” See you in 2014.
