The Random - James Cameron to direct Forbidden Planet, The Champions, Chef

IESB has news that the in-development Forbidden Planet remake has caught the interest of James Cameron who has been looking at directing the remake.

Tom Cruise may be starring in Guillermo del Toro's film of The Champions based on the old UK TV show. Written by Christopher McQuarrie.

MTV finally caught up with Fincher and made sure to bring up Chef (starring eanu Reeves) and actually got a quirky answer our of him. "It's good and chewy," Fincher says. "It's like a celibate sex comedy if that means anything. It's really about the creative process. It's truly an aromatic art-form, making food. I love that idea. And I love Keanu's passion for that world."

Will Keanu be back for The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down 3

"I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed dropped, the bus would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down." - Homer Simpson.

AICN have a source who has confirmed that a script for Speed 3 is floating around Hollywood. Not only that, but the story features the return of Officer Jack Traven, the lead character played by Keanu Reeves in the original film. Speed 2: Cruise Control had Jason Patric as a different character for the lead, but both features Sandra Bullock.

The weird thing is that back in 2007, Dennis Hopper told The Guardian that he was set to reprise his role as Howard Payne in a third Speed film. This always seemed a bit odd as Payne died at the end of the first Speed film.

All still early days for this rumour and I think it is doubtful that Keanu will return to the franchise. He's riding high with The Day the Earth Stood Still and a Chef type movie with David Fincher in the works.

Would you like to see Keanu back in a new Speed movie? Let's hear your theories as to what would be speeding now and how they could bring Dennis Hopper's character back (maybe in a Saw style with videos he made back in the day - they could carefully edit footage of Hopper from many of his earlier films. That would be cool).

R.I.P. Isaac Hayes - The Duke is Dead

No way. First Bernie Mac and now Isaac Hayes. He was found dead in Memphis over the weekend, and police are currently working to determine the cause of death. According to a CNN report, he was found in his home, unconscious, next to a treadmill, and no foul play is suspected. Hayes was 65 years old.

Writer of one of the greatest theme tunes of all time, Shaft and a great actor. Starred in the Rockford Files, Hunter, the voice of Chef in South Park, he was the goddamn Duke in Escape from New York and he was in a load of other stuff.

Damn right He'll be missed.
