Terror Tidbits

Posted by bob in Films, News on June 21st, 2008

The first glimpse of Terminator: Salvation will be in the form a teaser attached to The Dark Knight so you’ll have extra fun when the film opens on July 18. Speaking of Christian Bale, who stars in both films, we heard Ridley Scott is telling folk he’d love to see Bale as Robin of Locksley in his Nottingham.  That revisionist take on the legend will star Russell Crowe as the Sheriff and Sienna Miller as Maid Marian.

Tippi Hedren meets Barbie!  In honor of The Birds’ 45th anniversary, Mattel is releasing “this incredible collector’s doll features our heroine being attacked by a trio of fine feathered foes, just like in the movie.” The Birds Barbie is a definite must-have for every fan of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film.

Will Poulter (Son of Rambow) has been given the role of  Eustace Scrubb, the Pevensie children’s most annoying cousin, in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Michael Apted will direct the third film in the Narnia series which will bring back Ben Barnes as Prince Caspian, Skandar Keynes as Edmund and Georgie Henley as Lucy.
