Happy April Fool’s Day
April Fool’s Day is always an interesting day to follow the news. So much stuff gets “announced” that sometimes you find yourself caught up in some of the excitement…even though, most likely it is for nothing.
The movie studios had a number of HUGE announcements today:
- Warner Bros announced that a new Matrix movie was in the works entitled: The Matrix Resurrection (/film)
- The new Iron Man 2 trailer shows the title begin “Iron Man 2: Shock to the Heart” (Cinematical)
- Johnny Depp is apparently in talks to play the Riddler in the new Batman 3 movie entitled “Battle for Gotham”. The is also talk of bring Heath Ledger back as the Joker using CG wizardry. (JoBlo)
- Zack Snyder is in talks to direct a Star Wars reboot. (MovieWeb)
- Robert Pattinson has walked off the set of “New Moon”. As a result, production has shut down. (ScreenRant)
- George Lucas has decided that he wants to revisit his Star Wars universe again on the big screen with a new Legacy Trilogy. (MovieBlog)
Honestly, though, the one I really wanted to be real was the video and news release done by IGN concerning Super Smash Bros Brawl and DLC. The release states that Nintendo will be making available through Wii Expand - which is a new download service to be offered by the company - an expansion back, or add-on, for the game Super Smash Bros Brawl. This content will turn the game into a Mortal Kombat style game with gore and blood galore!! I was pumped at the idea of using Ike’s sword to sever a certain plumber’s head clean off. But, alas, it seems it was only an April Fool’s prank. You can check out the news release and video of the so-called game being played here.
Hope everyone had a fun day!!
