This is some of the coolest casting news I’ve heard in a long time. Not only is the Re-Animator back, William H. Macy has signed on to play the President! The new movie is called House of Re-Animator, and it will re-unite the creative team from the original movie (Stuart Gordon, Brian Yuzna, Dennis Paoli & the Re-animator himself, Jeffrey Combs).

The story reportedly focuses on a Bush-like president who dies in office. The president’s staff commisions Dr. Herbert West to secrety re-animate the president. As expected, chaos ensues. This is the first in a new trilogy of Re-Animator films to be produced by Brian Yuzna and Halcyon Films. Awesome! (source)

There has never been a hairstyle as oft maligned as the MULLET. But it’s time to stop laughing, because the mullet is on it’s way back. If you doubt me, check out the photos from the upcoming summer movies. Tom Hanks has a semi-mullet in THE DAVINCI CODE. But check out this photo from MIAMI VICE and tell me that Colin Farrell is not sporting a full blown mullet.

In other MIAMI VICE news, there’s a new trailer up at Apple. It looks pretty terrible and is chock-full of the type of tough cop talk that you might expect from a direct-to-Cinemax softcore flick. Example: “We get down… if the play calls for it, bud.” It’s almost laughably bad, but it is written and directed by Michael Mann… so I’ll probably see it anyway.

No, this doesn’t have anything to do with hot female celebrities, but it’s INDIANA JONES, bitch! George Lucas recently revealed a few details about the flick to MTV. Supposedly, this one is going to be much more about dialogue and much less about death defying stunts. WHAT?

I think Tom Cruise proved that people are getting bored with that kind of stuff. What they want to see is something different. And INDIANA JONES, if nothing else, is always different.

Translation: Harrison Ford is getting too old for this shit.

Lucas also says the film will “probably” start shooting in 2007.
