Fan Rant: Please Stop Kickin' 'The Box'

Filed under: Drama », Sci-Fi & Fantasy », Thrillers », Mystery & Suspense », Warner Brothers », Distribution », Family Films », Remakes and Sequels », Fan Rant »



Last month, I weighed aloud the notion of relocating oft-delayed con man crime caper The Brothers Bloom just one more time, to somewhere out from under the shadows of many May blockbusters. Summit's reaction to that piece was prompt yet delicate -- they merely blackmailed Universal into moving Bruno away from Bloom's NY/LA bow.

This time around, my latest open letter to futility is being CC'ed to Warner Bros., as my concern now lies with the latest move of Richard Kelly's bumped-and-then-some thriller, The Box, starring Cameron Diaz and James Marsden as a couple forced to weigh the cost of one life against a chance at considerable wealth. (In other words, they get to slip into the shoes of Hollywood executives.)

Chris O'Donnell & Jack McBrayer Take On 'Cats & Dogs 2'

Filed under: Animation », Casting », Family Films », Remakes and Sequels »

Oh yes, we're getting more Cats & Dogs, and this time around, the film will be led by the nipply Robin (Chris O'Donnell) and the largest smile of innocence -- 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer. The Hollywood Reporter posts that both actors have picked up leads in the next installment -- Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. Get the pun? It's so Bondish. I wonder if the feline will be accompanied by abrocats.

Anyhow, in this installment, the felines and canines continue to battle for control of Earth, but that's all we're getting. The IMDb says the two actors will play "Shane" and "Chuck," but that's it. That being said, it's not too hard to imagine McBrayer's role in this, if he continues with the soft, goofy innocence.

Still, I just can't get behind this premise. I mean, between Bengals that act like dogs and could lay the smackdown, and laser cats, those dogs would be TOAST. Easily. Well, maybe that super-scary dog would level the playing field...
