Thirty-three years after his death from a swelling of the brain in 1973, martial arts legend Bruce Lee will have a theme park built in his honor:
A theme park with a statue and memorial hall will be built at Bruce Lee’s southern Chinese ancestral home of Shunde, the president of his fan club said Monday.
The park will also contain a martial arts academy and conference center, Wong Yiu-keung, chairman of the Hong Kong-based Bruce Lee Club, told The Associated Press.
The park is set to open in three years, at a budget rumored to be over $25 million, and will also include artifacts from Lee’s movies.
Informed of the news, rival martial artist Chuck Norris shrugged and said, “Chuck Norris doesn’t have a theme park. Because if he did, it would KILL YOU.”
…by hordes of very grumpy nerds doing very bad Gollum impressions, now that it’s been made official by the studio that Peter Jackson’s services will no longer be required to direct their planned adaption of “The Hobbit.”
“Last week, Mark Ordesky called Ken (Kamins, Jackson’s manager) and told him that New Line would no longer be requiring our services on `The Hobbit’ and the LOTR `prequel,'” the 45-year-old New Zealand director wrote on TheOneRing.org. “This was a courtesy call to let us know that the studio was now actively looking to hire another filmmaker for both projects.”
The announcement came amid an ongoing dispute between Wingnut Films – Jackson’s production company – and New Line Cinema over the amount Jackson was paid for “The Fellowship of the Ring,” including DVD payments…and while Jackson hasn’t said how much he believes he was underpaid, The New York Times last year quoted his lawyers as saying it was as much as $100 million. He is suing New Line Cinema over the shortfall.
Yes, I believe I would, too, come to think of it.
Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com:
Did James Bond just get beaten by a bunch of penguins? Sean Connery would have sent Antarctica plummeting into the sea before suffering such an indignity.
1) Happy Feet: $42.3 million (Mark Pfeiffer, Reel Times Studios)
A monster first step out of the gate for Reel Times, surprisingly taking the top slot from the hyped-to-the-heavens “Casino Royale.”
2) Casino Royale: $40.6 million (Steve Wamsley, TSSU Productions)
Um, wow. Didn’t see this coming. Was it due to a long running time and therefore fewer screenings? Or was it because, like most Bond movies, it just wasn’t that good?
3) Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan: $14.4 million, $90.5 million to date (owner: Deb Medsker, Punch and Pie Pictures)
We’re skeptical to the claims of authenticity to the stories about kids flinging poo at cars after seeing “Borat,” but if I had to choose between that and those children becoming racist, misogynist, drunk jackasses, a little flying poo doesn’t seem so bad.
4) The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause: $8.2 million, $51.6 million to date (owner: Jason Zingale, Seven Strangers Productions)
Tim Allen hangs in there just long enough to get blown out of the theaters when the Christmas season is officially under way.
5) Flushed Away: $6.8 million, $48.8 million to date (owner: Kristin Dreyer-Kramer, Nights and Weekends)
The power of singing slugs, that’s all we can say.
6) Stranger than Fiction: $6.6 million, $22.9 million to date (owner: David Medsker, Scary Clown Studios)
That’s good, people. Send a loud and clear message to Will Farrell – or, more importantly, his agent – that says we only want to see Farrell make a complete fool of himself onscreen. Heaven help us. Scary Clown’s first pick is a disastrous one, even if the movie’s way better than you think.
7) Babel: $2.9 million, $12 million to date (Steve Wamsley, TSSU Productions)
Sleeper pick of the draft so far.
8) Saw III: $2.8 million, $74.6 million to date (Steve Wamsley, TSSU Productions)
If a girl wants to take her back to her house and show you her “rack,” run like the wind.
14) The Return: $1.7 million, $6.8 million to date (owner: Bill Clark, A Don’t Call Me Shirley Joint)
The biggest disappointment of the season so far, though it has unlikely company…
15) A Good Year: $1.6 million, $6.4 million to date (Nights and Weekends)
We blame the Benny Hill bit for thoroughly confusing everyone as to what kind of movie this was trying to be. But anyone who wants to put Abbie Cornish in their next movie has our blessing.
Gone from the list: Harsh Times. (TSSU). Hmmm, maybe “Snoop Dogg’s Hood of Horror” was the way to go after all…
Current standings:
1) TSSU Productions: $130.6 million
2) Punch and Pie Pictures: $90.8 million
3) Nights and Weekends: $55.2 million
4) Seven Strangers Productions: $51.6 million
5) Reel Times Pictures: $42.3 million
6) Scary Clown Studios: $22.9 million
7) A Don’t Call Me Shirley Joint: $6.8 million
8) What’s All This, Then?: $390,000 (“Fast Food Nation,” limited release)
Next week: Scary Clown unleashes its best weapon in “Déjà Vu,” Punch and Pie release “Deck the Halls,” TSSU opens “Bobby” in wide release, and Seven Strangers cover both ends of the intelligence spectrum with “Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny” and “The Fountain.” The web site projects that “The Fountain” will make $48 million. Not a chance.
Shhhh. Don’t talk. Just watch. And try not to drool.
