Rob Zombie talks "Broad Street Bullies"

I really didn't know Rob Zombie was stepping aside from his Horror loving to make a non-horror project. However, he is on board with a project called "Broad Street Bullies" based on the true story of the 1970's Philadelphia Flyers.

"That [script] is finished," Zombie tells ComingsSoon.net. "I just finished it. That was an epic battle because that was the first time I had to really research something. There's no fiction in it, it's all true. It was a year of research, my God, I read every f--king book and, obviously, the game ends with game 6 against the Bruins when they win the cup. I must have watched game 6 a thousand f--king times until I had it memorized. It's a pretty epic script. I was just in Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago and all of those guys still go to every game. I was sitting in the box with Joe Watson and Bernie Parent. The Broadstreet Bullies still reign there. I got to get that movie right or they'll take me out and hang me."

Although is not yet set up at a studio, Zombie suggests that fans won't have a very long wait before it finds a home.

"We had so many offers for it but we haven't taken one yet," he continues. "It's funny because everybody was like 'Oh, a hockey movie, nobody's going to want it.' But as soon as we announced it, everyone came out of the woodwork. Everybody wanted to get involved. Nothing against horror movies and I don't mean this to sound any way, but no agent wants to put their client in a horror movie, nobody would take them seriously. But suddenly, with this type of movie, everyone is coming forward, which I wasn't prepared for."

Bruce Lee biopic in the works?

The life of actor an probably the greatest Martial Artist of all time may be making is way back on the big screen in a film titled "Birth Of A Dragon" says a story coming from The Hollywood Reporter. As we know this isn't the first Biopic about the late great Bruce Lee, there has been at least 4 that I have seen personally my favourite being "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" starring Jason Scott Lee.

The screenplay duties have apparently been given to previous Biopic writers Stephen Rivele and Christopher Wilkinson who both worked together on "Ali" and "Nixon", the story is set to follow the aftermath of Lee's worldwide known duel with Wong Jack Man in 1965.

Bruce Lee has been a personal hero of mine since I was about 5 and first watched "Enter The Dragon", so to hear they are making another Biopic intrigues me here's hoping they sign on a great Martial Artist to portray the greatest of all time.

First official photo of Daniel Day-Lewis an Honest Abe

Steven Spielberg has been pounding the films in the past year or two, but this is one is looking like it will go down in history as one of the greats. I mean it does already have one of our generations greatest Actors Daniel Day-Lewis. Now we have the first official photo of Mr.Day-Lewis in his Lincoln attire, I think Day-Lewis looks amazing he looks just like what I imagine Abraham Licoln would look like in colour pictures. So it has one of the best actors of all time in the lead, with possibly the greatest director/producer of all time at the helm with one of my favourite current actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt supporting as Lincoln's oldest son.
