MGM's new direction
by bootlegga on Thu Oct 26, 2006 3:43 pm
About a year after closing down the MGM 'brand', Sony has revived it with two recent movies, "Flyboys" and "Material Girls". The Hollywood Reporter caught up with MGM head Rick Sands and he had this to say about some future projects.
While I didn't care for the Lord of the Rings books, I loved the Hobbit and will be eagerly awaiting it. As for T4, hopefully the next movie will be dark (ala The Empire Strikes Back), which would make it far better than the last movie.

MGM chief operating officer Rick Sands talked about the studio's upcoming projects during a ceremony for Sylvester Stallone at the Orlando World Marriott Center on Tuesday. Stallone picked up the ShowEast Icon Award for playing Rocky Balboa.
The Hollywood Reporter says Sands is packaging the fourth "Terminator" film -- it will be titled "Terminator blah blah, not Four," Sands joked -- with a new star likely to fill the Arnold Schwarzenegger role. "It's like the 'Batman' or 'Superman' franchise in that it lends itself to having different actors in the roles," he said.
Sands is in talks with New Line Cinema to get the rights to produce two prequel films to "The Lord of the Rings" series, based on J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," he said.
Other projects he mentioned include a sequel to The Thomas Crown Affair, set to star Pierce Brosnan, and a remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Just another happy Canuckistanian living under the so-called US security umbrella...yes, I'm a sarcastic bastard.
