Prequel to Begin Filming in July
Posted: April 20, 2010
Production Weekly reported via Twitter that the Conquest-Remake/Prequel Caesar is set to start filming mid-July in Canada (more run-away production). Though I like the possibilities of remaking Conquest, I'm not real crazy about the Alzheimers cure plotline, which is something they toyed with in previous drafts (back when Ahnuld was slated to star) of what eventually became the Tim Burton remake. Now that we're crawling out of our slumber, we'll keep track as things progress. Yes, really.

Posted: March 12, 2010
We thought this thing was dead (or at least really stuck deep in the pits of Development Hell), but according to Deadline.com, the latest attempt at a new Apes movie seems to have gotten a director in Rupert Wyatt. No, I never heard of him, either.

Montalban made his mark many times over in the Sci-Fi genre: in addition to Escape and Conquest, he was in Fantasy Island, Spy Kids, Kim Possible, and one of the greatest sequels ever made (not to mention one of the best Sci-Fi films), Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Posted: April 6, 2008
Sadly, one of our greatest actors has passed away. Charlton Heston will always be remembered for his great film roles, from The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, Touch of Evil, Soylent Green, The Omega Man, and so many others. But he will always be Col. George Taylor to us. Our hearts and prayers go out to his friends and family.
