K.I.S.S. News - "Constantine" Sequel, "My Bloody Valentine" and "The Hobbit" Casting News

Yeah, I know. FilmArcade.net hasn’t been “in” on the news lately. Truth is, there aren’t enough hours in a day to post all of the news that has been happening. So without further ado, I pronounce to you a new section of film news called K.I.S.S. News, which stands for Keep It Simple Stupid News. This is a basic summary of one whole news article in one or two sentences. This will be posted every, say, two or three days? Or whenever the hell news happens.



Keanu Reeves has finally announced that he wouldn’t be starring in a sequel to the 2005 film “Constantine.” Whether or not it is released is another story.


Elizabeth Banks is set to play First Lady Laura Bush in a biopic of George W. Bush. The film is being directed by Oliver Stone.


Jamie King is playing the lead actress in the remake of the cult-classic horror film, “My Bloody Valentine.” It will be released a few weeks before the remake of “Friday the 13th,” and will be 3D to boot.



FirstShowing.net reports that Ian McKellen will return to play Gandalf in “The Hobbit.”


James Gandolfini has been casted in the role once played by Lee Wallace in Tony Scott’s rendition of “The Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three.” The remake is said to be released next summer.


TV personality Jared Padalecki has been set to play an investigator in the remake of “Friday the 13th.” The film is going to suck. Do they even KNOW that Jason wasn’t in the original “Friday” (until the last second)?


Julie Benz is set to play in “Saw V.” Little is known about the movie aside from the fact she is in it.
