The Return of the 80s & A Message from Pierre Chang

A trailer for Oliver Stone's next film, W., has been leaked. W. is a biopic of the life of our current president and it looks to be fun. The DP is Phedon Papamichael.

Darren Aronofsky presumably needs an influx of cash as he's signed onto the revival of RoboCop. I like Aronofsky's work so I trust that the remake won't be horrible. However, the article ends on an ominous note:

Revamps of "Red Dawn," "Fame," "Poltergeist" and "Death Wish" are all in the works.

*Shudder*

Plus I hear that there's a sequel to Tron in the works as well. The 80s are new again, I guess. I can only hope parachute pants don't find themselves in vogue once more.

Lastly, LOST fans are rejoicing after Comic Con as we got another teaser to help tide us over until February when the show airs again.



Marvin's real name is apparently Pierre Chang. He was sending a video message about 30 years into the future which he ominously described, noting as he did, that George W. Bush is the president. Chang also implores the viewer to see the value of restarting the Dharma Initiative. With the Purge soon to be upon them, the cameraman complains that their effort is futile. Many people identify his voice as being that of Daniel Faraday…
