Weekly Ketchup: Angry Birds Movie in the Works
Plus, the Oldboy remake soldiers on, Christopher Walken is a god, and another
vampire movie.
by Greg Dean Schmitz | Friday, Jul. 08 2011
108 comments
This week's Ketchup includes news of several CGI animated movies (Angry Birds, Hotel Transylvania and Cloudy With a
Chance of Meatballs 2), as well as new roles for two of the stars of Bridesmaids and Super 8 (in the same movie).

This Week's Top Story
THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE TO BE SLINGSHOT INTO A THEATER NEAR YOU
There has been rumblings that video game company Rovio had plans for a movie adaptation of
their mobile phone hit Angry Birds since last summer. This week, Rovio got a bit closer to seeing
that actually happen with the hiring of David Maisel, who was partly responsible for helping
Marvel become its own movie studio. Rovio's plan for David Maisel is for him to oversee the
formation of an entire entertainment franchise based on the Angry Birds concept, including toys,

more games and a franchise of Angry Birds feature films. For those not familiar, the premise of
Angry Birds is that some evil pigs have kidnapped the eggs of the birds, and so they are angry,
and need to be slingshot at the pigs' structures, freeing the eggs and killing the pigs. So,
basically, imagine that as a CGI animated movie, and that's what Rovio wants to bring to your
local cineplex. Angry Birds is this week's Top Story basically because... there wasn't much else
to choose from. People do seem to love Angry Birds, so there is that. The next step for Angry Birds is most likely finding a
screenwriter and/or a director. Knowing how Hollywood works, it will probably be someone who isn't among those who
contributed to the game's 250 million downloads.

New York, starting in mid-July, 2011.

Jonah Hill produced, cowrote and is starring in the upcoming movie version of 21 Jump Street, in
which he will be a buddy cop with Channing Tatum. This week, Jonah Hill and Mark Wahlberg
were announced as teaming up in Good Time Gang, in which they will play buddy mercenaries
(not cops), in what is described as a spin on Lethal Weapon. The premise is described as being
about "party-happy mercenaries who decide to take on a more serious case involving a terrorist,
only to find their mission complicated when they discover one of them is related to the target."
Good Time Gang was written by Max Landis (son of John Landis), who recently also was hired
by 20th Century Fox to work on one of the many Frankenstein adaptations in development.

#5 ROSALINE AND GUILDENSTERN AREN'T DEAD
In April, it was announced that True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld's next role would be as Juliet in
Romeo and Juliet. That Shakespeare adaptation starts filming soon, with British teen ator
Douglas Booth playing Romeo, Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) as Benvolio, Ed Westwick
(Gossip Girl) as Tybalt and Holly Hunter as Juliet's Nurse. Now, Fox 2000 is moving forward with
plans with their own Romeo and Juliet adaptation, which also follows Fox's 1996 film William
Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. This movie, however, has a twist, as it will be called Rosaline,
and will focus on Romeo's ex-girlfriend, who sees the events of the tragic romance quite
differently. In William Shakespeare's play, Romeo does talk about Rosaline, but she never
actually appears in the play. Rosaline will be set in 16th century Verona, and as the premise
suggests, it will be a comedy. Screenwriter Michael Sucsy, who cowrote the HBO movie Grey
Gardens and next year's The Vow (starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum), has been hired to work on Rosaline.
Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber, the writing team behind (500) Days of Summer, had previously been hired to work on
Rosaline, but it's unknown whether Sucsy will be doing a rewrite or starting from scratch.

Rotten Ideas of the Week
#4 ADAM SANDLER IS THE LATEST ACTOR TO TAKE ON DRACULA IN
HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA
If you took a Family Feud-style poll and asked 100 movie goers to name who they would cast as
Dracula, I have a feeling Adam Sandler wouldn't even make the big board. As you already know
by this story's title, they would, of course, be wrong. Sony Pictures Animation has lined up the
voice cast for the upcoming 3D CGI animated comedy Hotel Transylvania, which is scheduled
for release on September 21, 2012. Hotel Transylvania will be about a resort for monsters who
want to escape the world of humans. Adam Sandler will play Dracula as an "overprotective dad
who introduces his teenage daughter Mavis to the world's most famous monsters." Kevin James
will voice Frankenstein's Monster (though Sony just calls him "Frankenstein"... sigh), Fran
Drescher will voice the Bride of Frankenstein, David Spade will pay Quasimodo and Cee Lo
Green will play the Mummy. Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon will play the parents of a family of werewolves, and Andy
Samberg will play a non-monstrous human who causes problems for the Hotel. It's worth noting that although this cast of
characters seems a lot like Universal's Monsters, Sony doesn't actually have the rights to those characters, although the
source materials are mostly all in the public domain. t's the same sort of tricky grey area that allowed The Monster Squad to
get made. Hotel Transylvania is being directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, the Russian-American animation creator behind
such TV shows as Dexter s Laboratory, Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars. Hotel Transylvania will be the big screen
debut of screenwriter David I. Stern (who previously wrote Open Season 2 and Open Season 3) and the brother team of Dan
and Kevin Hageman. Hotel Transylvania is a borderline Rotten Idea, based mostly on the RT Tomatometer track record of
much of the cast. The direction by Genndy Tartakovsky, and his TV show record, is what makes it borderline.

#3 YET ANOTHER VAMPIRE MOVIE: UNDYING LOVE
The vampire sub-genre of horror is obviously not exactly new to Hollywood, but we are
nonetheless in the midst of a wave of vampire movies, thanks more than partly to the popularity
of The Twilight Saga. The latest addition to Hollywood's lengthy list of vampire movies in
development is Undying Love, based upon a comic book mini-series published by Image Comics.
Warner Bros has acquired the rights to Undying Love, along with Benderspink, the production
company behind The Ring, The Butterfly Effect and the sequels to those two films. Described as
blending vampires, Chinese monster myths and Hong Kong-style action, Undying LoveUndying
Love script will be adapted by the comic book's cocreators, Daniel Freedman and Tomm Coker,
who also cowrote and codirected the 2007 direct-to-video horror film Catacombs, starring Pink.

#2 LIKE THE TITLE CHARACTER, THE OLDBOY REMAKE REFUSES TO CURL
UP AND DIE
There's a long tradition of American remakes of Asian films, but as with any potential remakes,
sometimes the source material seems too good to warrant a remake. Many movie fans consider
the 2003 Korean thriller Oldboy, directed by Park Chan-Wook, to be such a film. When Will
Smith and Steven Spielberg talked about remaking Oldboy back in 2008, those fans freaked out
quite a bit, even with a filmmaker like Spielberg involved. Three years have now passed, and
now the remake project appears to be getting new life with the word that Spike Lee (Malcolm X,
Bamboozled) is reportedly in talks to direct the Oldboy remake. There's no word if Will Smith is
still interested in starring. For those unfamiliar with Oldboy, it told the story of a man who, after
being imprisoned for 15 years and suddenly released, goes on a revenge spree in an attempt to
understand why he was imprisoned. The Oldboy remake has been written (for a while now, presumably) by Mark Protosevich
(Thor, I Am Legend). In other Spike Lee news (which is also Rotten), the director spoke recently about his attempts to get a
sequel to Inside Man made, with the general gist being that it's unlikely ever to happen.

#1 SPACE INVADERS TO INVADE SPACIOUS MOVIE THEATER SCREENS
In early 2010, the news broke that the video game company Taito was in negotiations with
Warner Bros about turning Space Invaders into a big budget movie. With over a year passing,
and no further news about such a project being heard, it seemed like maybe that was one of
those Rotten Ideas that was rightfully abandoned at some stage. This week, we found out that,
yes, the negotiations at Warner Bros fell apart, but instead, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura
and production company Odd Lot Entertainment (The Spirit, Drive) have picked up the rights to
Space Invaders, the movie. Lorenzo di Bonaventura's credits include the Transformers and G.I.
Joe franchises, as well as another video game adaptation with no inherent narrative structure,
Asteroids. For those unfamiliar with Space Invaders, back in 1978, it was one of the very first
arcade video game hits, as the player controlled a missile on the bottom of the screen, shooting
at an array of aliens as they slowly (and then not so slowly) descended down the screen. That's all there is to the game (well,
that and an UFO that goes across the screen sometimes). The producers are now looking for a screenwriter who can come
up with all the other little stuff, like characters, and a story to explain the cannon and the aliens. Or maybe, there won't even
be that.

Yeah, sure, vampires are being done to death and back, but I really can't ignore this UNDYING LOVE
thing as being described as: "blending vampires, Chinese monster myths and Hong Kong-style action".
Any movie with any one of those things has the potential to be awesome, and this one has all fucking
three. Of course, Hollywood is really the master of ruining things, so that potential will probably be
squandered like it usually is. Bah.
That's about it. Oh, except for the OLDBOY remake. Do I really have to point out how pointless pointing
out how pointless the marathon of remakes is becoming? Fuck that shit.

Spike Lee should say no to Oldboy, but your comment Myron K., about Spike Lee is the most
insulting comment I read in days. Let me school you about Spike Lee's filmography: Do the Right
Thing Malcolm X 25th Hour Inside Man Now, you have do have any idea why these Spike Lee's
films jump onto this list? Because Mr.Spike Lee is foremost a storyteller. One of many director's
who cares about story over special effects. He does a have few films that are not perfect,but he
does know what to convey onto the big screen. So when you telling everyone on here that,"he is
one of the worst directors ever",and "Inside Man was a freakin joke",I'll just laugh at what a tool
you are. So,I'll point to you to one director who really does earn,"one of the worst directors ever".
Uwe Boll and a little movie called, "House of The Dead". END OF THE LINE

not only is do the right thing dated but it was also bad on a technical level as well. Racism
is bad yea we get it now lets all move on. Oh and just because one chooses to focus
more on story over special effects doesn't mean that story is particularly engaging (or
worth telling at all remember Miracle at Saint Anna?). I don't need to be "schooled" when
it comes to the films of a mediocre director (the only thing that was good about Malcolm X
was Denzel Washington) especially when is one who is a nothing more than a opportunist
who constantly spouts his bigotry (seriously if i wanted to be preached at I'd go to a
church)

White People do not understand a thing about what Black People have suffered .
. . (granted times are much different now) but White People have never been
discriminated against, White People could Own Black People . . .Black People
weren't legally able to read or write (in the American-South) until 1865, White
People made Black People pay a poll tax; White People bombed black churches
like terrorists; White People (like my ancestor) basically raped slaves and made
babies from them; White People exterminated American-Indians; White People
infected American-Indians with Small Pox; White People denied Black People
Blood transfusions; White People in Virginia shut down the entire public school
system when the Brown Versus The Board of Education was decided. NOW. . .
things are much better; but Spike Lee-even though his demeanor bothers me-has
done excellent work in memorializing our diaspora.
Myron K. on 07-9-2011 12:51 PM
@ Gordon Franklin Terry Sr [sighs]. So once again people assume I am some
kind of racisist that demeans the work of black people just because I say one of
the worst film directors happens to be black? True white people did do atrocious
things in the past but that doesnt expunge the fact that Spike Lee's heavy handed
naysaying work is inane and dated. If I have to choose between a white director
with talent (say Chris Nolan) and a black director without much talent (say Tyler
Perry) I would choose the one with talent over and over. I just get tired of every
piece of work that comes from black people has to be about how "hard" it is to
be them but at the sametime remeber I just said Spike Lee is a crappy director
and that him being attached to a Olboy remake would be atrcious (just the
thought of a Oldboy remake sucks). Oh and one more thing just for your
information I am black.
The.Watcher on 07-9-2011 04:43 PM
Jesus dude, you don't understand a thing about what black people have suffered,
either, so shut the fuck up. Unless you're 200 years old you don't have a clue of
what you're talking about. Besides, blacks in America had it easy compared to
Russians in that time period.
Gordon Franklin Terry Sr on 07-9-2011 05:39 PM
Here, I've got a White Guy from Russia and South Africa (of all godforsaken
places--Apartheid-City) telling me, a black man myself, how I don't know how my
own ancestors suffered./// Hey . . . an old lady in a supermarket told Stephen
King that he didn't write The Shawshank Redemption. Leave it to the internet.///I
STRESSED that things are A LOT BETTER now and I DID NOT accuse anyone
of being racist AND I said that Spike Lee was a good dude for documenting what
happened to Americans of African descent.// Funny stuff (again): a white-guy
from Pretoria, South Africa (that "previously had a rather sinister image as 'the
capital of Apartheid South Africa'") telling an Black Guy that the black guy doesn't
know anything about blacks. LOL. You know I like to YANK a lot of chains, so to
speak. and AGAIN things are a lot better now . . . (there's a better understanding
by and large). ROTTEN TOMATOES is THE BEST MOVIE site ever. . . (we

humans horribly since the beginning of human existence.
The.Watcher on 07-9-2011 07:58 PM
Yes, and you know what? The blacks in Pretoria don't bitch nearly as much as
Americans about the past. Shit, Jews had it the worst in WW2 - do you hear
them bitching about the camps and shit? No. Russian nobility had other Russians
as slaves (my grandfather was one), they had no papers, no freedom,
completely belonged to nobility (they could kill slaves for fun, and did so) and
worked for no pay (obviously), and that shit went on until 1917 (October Rev.),
then guess what? Lenin and his fucking socialist bullshit, took away everyone's
possessions in the name of the State. No one had anything until the collapse of
USSR in '91 - that's when the country miraculously transformed into a "capitalist"
society. Only, of course, that's all bullshit. Most people in RU still don't have shit,
live in poverty without hot water and have virtually no worker's rights. Meanwhile,
RU has one of the highest numbers of Billionaires in the world. Slavery in US
ended 200 yrs ago, you don't know shit about it - you weren't there, neither was I
or anyone else. Let it go, stop talking about the oppression of the black man, you
know how petty and insignificant this looks when compared to the plight of other
nationalities throughout history? Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

@Gordon There's no use in arguing. I see the same thing on Reddit every few
weeks. The continuous struggles of our people have all but been forgotten. An
artist like Spike Lee is nothing more than a constant reminder of things better left
on the back burner of history by the modern American White. Alas, we had better
start getting used to mere allegory to true racism and history. We have a black
President now, so America is presumably "over" racism. Haven't you heard? :(

Jews to bitch a lot about WW2 though. Just look at Spielberg and how it's one of

card whenever they can (like blacks do with the slavery card)

South Africa is WORSE.///but dude, its all at least 30 years old. and, you know,
that The United States of America is The Best Country in the world so trying to
get an indigenous American Citizen to empathize with a "Russian-CommieBastard" who moved to "Apartheid-South-Africa" where they put Nelson Mandela
in a deep-hole for 28 long years is impossible. COMMUNISTS can't worship God
and South Africans OPPRESS Black people and violate HUMAN RIGHTS . . . 25
- 30 years ago. Things aren't like the aforementioned nightmare anymore./
ahahahahahahahahah! LOL. you know . . . you WATCHER may be serious but
dude . . . just say RUSSIANS ARE FREAKING EVIL COMMUNIST BASTARDS
(because Ronald Regan told me so) . . . until America makes a movie to say
otherwise.
Gordon Franklin Terry Sr on 07-10-2011 12:34 PM
(LASTLY) A. Furthermore THE WATCHER, we "blacks" couldn't vote fairly until
the 1964 Civil Rights Act which is only 47 years ago, not 200 years ago.
(Commie-Russian Bastards like The Watcher like to confuse the heck out of
things)/ B. we "blacks" were enslaved here in America from 1619 - 1865 (The
Thirteenth Amendment) that's 236 years; Hitler invaded Poland on September 1,
1939 and the Concentration Camps began to be liberated in August of 1945 . .
.American Slaves had to endure Two Hundred Thirty-Six years of slavery and
"The Jews, The Gypsies, and The Homosexuals, and Every Non-Aryan" in Nazi
Germany suffered 5 years of brutality compared of the Centuries of brutality my
ancestors had to suffer.//C. During and after Reconstruction Era 1865 -1877 JIM
CROW laws (1876 - 1965) were established to segregate blacks in the American
South Eighty-Nine years!!!! compared to the 6 (actually 12 years of Nazi
Germany). /// as I said, when you have a Russian-Commie-Bastard like The
Watcher ATTEMPTING to tell an American about American history and (African-)
American struggles, he will CONFUSE THE FACTS to weaken your resolve./ I
LOVE ROTTEN TOMATOES . . . we get to encounter the most diverse and
opinionated people on the planet.
Brad H. on 07-11-2011 07:28 AM
Why no talk of the over 1 million white Europeans enslaved in North Africa in the
1700s, Gordon?
Gordon Franklin Terry Sr on 07-11-2011 11:02 AM
Because I'm yak-yak-yaking away, Brad. I'll look into the enslaved Europeans
though; damn, I say; it seems like everyone has been enslaved at one point or
another. Enslavement leads to a weak centeralized government because the
government can't tax wages made by slaves--slaves don't make any wages to
tax; slavery is very un-economical (spell check).
Dave J. on 07-12-2011 03:18 PM
What is the point of this history lesson when it doesn't have anything to do with
films, Gordon! I really thought that "The Watcher's" last comment would end this
but you still want to continue! What're you gaining out of this is what I really want
to know here?
Dave J. on 07-12-2011 03:22 PM
You do know that we can get this stuff from our old history books and
online(perhaps wikipedia- we don't necessarily have to get this history lesson
from you- right!

Weekly Ketchup: Angry Birds Movie in the Works - Rotten Tomatoes

7 of 9

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1923153/news/1923153/weekly-ketch...

Gordon Franklin Terry Sr on 07-9-2011 12:31 PM
Painfully Rotten; mind-numbingly rotten. Like the after-effect of the guy being beaten with the
claw-hammer in Oldboy. The Claw-Hammer stands a chance of becoming a horror-movie icon.
Two Guys beat to death a family of four with a claw-hammer in their basement Richmond, Virgina
(9 and 8 year old girls and their parents). The autopsy report said the bodies were beaten until
gray matter was oozing out of their ears . . . gross. But more entertaining than the rotten ideas of
the week.

All of the fresh news is yawn ville.
Rotten:
#4 - Can I please know if the person who made this decision was on cocaine?
#3 - Yay another vampire movie. I don't see how this is rotten news, but the fact that it's done by the
guys who did The Butterfly effect makes me doubt if this film has a chance, then again, it's distributed by
Warner Bros, & also worked on the guys who did The Ring :D
#2 - Yawn
#1 Well, we could use another nice looking space invaders movie I guess :/

Angry Birds has got to be the most overrated game ever! How can people find it entertaining? Plus,
Angry Birds is just a big rip-off of Castle Crashers and they've been milked to death.

How could Angry Birds: The Movie possibly work. Just tell me that much.

Pigs stealing bird eggs, birds getting revenge. That's the movie. People at work used to stare at
their phones for HOURS with Angry Birds on the screen. If anything, they'll have to SHORTEN the
movie so the cinema can have more screenings. Or break it into 2 parts like The Hobbit.

Gordon Franklin Terry Sr on 07-9-2011 12:40 PM
oh, Convert it into a live-action David Cronenberg-type movie where you inject The Angry Birds
with Rabies and Aphrodisiac samples. It;ll have a cool documentary feel where we see the birds
totally screw each other to death and peck each others eyes out. Have the first act of the film
occur in a laboratory and then have one of the scientists take one of the infected birds back to his
family's apartment in a highrise where the bird pecks the kid and then the kid grows a beak and
then pecks his parents, the infected parents then peck and screw the other families in the highrise
. . . ITS a hybrid of RABID, SHIVERS (They Came From Within), The Birds, and . . . the only
relation to Angry Birds is the title alone./ Plenty of Biological-Horror, Sexual-Horror, Blood and
Violence . . . just like early David Cronenberg films.

Warcraft/Starcraft movie.

Or Assassins's Creed, Dead Space, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Uncharted(its in
development, unfortunately), Mass Effect(its also in development, unfortunately), COD(I
know the franchise is stale now, but COD4 was amazing), The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc.

Know the studios Michael Bay, Emmerich or some other lame ass box office hit
bad movie maker would get them. If they announced any of the games listed
along with Brad Bird, Fernando Mireilles or maybe even Nolan for a video game
that is very realistic, then I'd be thrilled. Though I have to say, after the Angry
Birds short and Rio I don't think it'd be an awful idea to have an angry birds
movie.

May I suggest that you really need to redesign your database (or whatever the constraining factor is) so
that news items like these don't have to be tied to a movie (since after all they generally aren't about a
particular movie).
The fact that this shows up as news under the Hitchcock classic (go ahead -- look up the movie -- this is
the top news item on that page) is just wrong.
If it's really a problem, just create a fake movie like "Weekly Ketchup: the Movie" and attach them to it.
PapaFrita on 07-8-2011 07:22 PM
Without Phil Lord and Chris Miller I wouldn't put the Cloudy remake under 'fresh.' It was their quirky
sense of humor that really made that movie work.
King Crunk on 07-8-2011 07:23 PM
The movie about old Greek Gods is the only interesting news this week. Oldboy remake is cinematic
sacrilige.
