00:00Hi there film fans and welcome back to The Movie Watch.
00:03Like Slyther.
00:04This is kind of a little reunion isn't it?
00:06Heck, I'm a fan.
00:07Hollywood has truly been left shaken and indeed stirred this week with the news that FESP for Hire
00:13Kevin Spacey was very nearly ready to pit his wits against James Bond in director Sam Mendes' latest outing for
00:19007.
00:20Mendes, having worked so well with Spacey in the Oscar winning American Beauty, instead had to give the lead villain
00:26role to Javier Bardem.
00:28Also circling Bond 23 is Voldemort himself, Ralph Fiennes.
00:32Bond is definitely going to have his work cut out for him here.
00:35I have seen your heart, and it is mine.
00:41In other news concerning stars whose name is Kevin, Field of Dreams legend Kevin Cosner is back and getting some
00:48much needed work.
00:49Huzzah!
00:49Big Kev's been snaffled up by rootin' and rebootin' Superman director Zack Snyder and Warner Brothers to play the Man
00:56of Steel's adopted dad,
00:57Jonathan Kent in this redo.
00:59I'm super excited about Superman.
01:01I think it's going to be epic and ridiculously awesome.
01:05Number one was killed in Malaysia.
01:07Number two was murdered in England.
01:09Number three was hunted down in Kenya.
01:11I'm number four.
01:12And just to show off by linking these news stories together, Sam Mendes' loss is DJ Caruso's gain.
01:18Apparently, the I am number four Helmer is tweeting that his next picture will be Preacher, based on the Cult
01:23Vertigo and DC Comics graphic novel.
01:30You've got to doff your cap to young buck director Gareth Edwards.
01:33The monster's Helmer, having slogged his guts out on the indie sci-fi hit in the deepest, darkest parts of
01:39the Amazon,
01:40has been rewarded by Warner Brothers, as they've given him the tall task of reimagining the monster of the silver
01:46screen, Godzilla.
01:47In terms of that high hope, realistic expectation thing, like, I don't think there was much higher hope than that
01:54ever.
02:06.
02:08Director Gore Verbinski was recently in town to promote his latest CG offering, the quirky but rather good Rango.
02:15So, we took the opportunity to quiz the Pirates of the Caribbean Helmer about his next Johnny Depp collaboration, the
02:22Lone Ranger.
02:23Don Quixote told from Sancho Ponsa's point of view, because Johnny's going to be Tonto, so, um, it's pretty bent.
02:30Customs to pull this chap to one side, Van Daemen, South Africa, Boa.
02:33Never say we don't go upmarket here at Movie Watch from time to time, a certain little trailer for Ray
02:39Winston's latest indie neo-western tracker has been doing the rounds, and we think it looks pretty good.
02:44You have my permission to shoot him on sight.
02:48We can fight!
02:51Don't let them handle me!
02:54Without freedom, we're nothing.
02:58Until next time.
