Editorials > FilmWad Breaks it Down: Wednesday September 26th

Something of a slow news day today. Zack Snyder gave a pretty boring behind-the-scenes introduction to Watchmen. "Things here are awesome. Check out this door. Awesome, right? Stay tuned."

There's a pretty good chance that there's going to be a Dragon Wars sequel. The tagline is rumored to be: "In Dragon Wars, the first casualty is the audience."

The cast of State of Play only gets better, now that it includes a queen, a princess, and a girl from The Notebook. Helen Mirren, Robin Wright Penn, and Rachel McAdams have signed on for the political thriller that already stars Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Jason Bateman. 

And it sounds like Terminator 4 is finally being scripted and will take place just after the events of Terminator 3. Most notably, T4 is expected to be the first in a new trilogy of Terminators. Maybe they'll be able to inspire/trick James Cameron to come back for one of them once he's done with Avatar.

The first trailer for today is the newest (fourth!) trailer for Bee Movie. I don't know what to make of this. There've been about two or three good jokes total in all four trailers (though to be fair, the first two didn't contain any actual scenes from the final movie). One of them is the Ray Liotta joke in this trailer. Something about Ray Liotta making honey amuses me.

O Jerusalem is a production that's flown under the radar. Aside from Ian Holm and possibly Said Taghmaoui there aren't really "names" in it, and it confronts a tough issue. As far as I know there aren't any reviews for it yet, but it looks like an interesting film.
