Buzz From the Lot
Always among the frontrunners at the HTG box office, Flip Brothers Studio has a lot of activity planned for the theatres over the next months.
Among the films slated for FB release is December’s Durham Red, the Random FX production of a Guillermo del Toro film. The cast includes Gerard Butler and Lena Heady. Initial ads for the feature have received a “very wicked” response.
Daniel Thomas, producer of HTGTV’s JAG series, is returning to his Beautiful Life franchise with the upcoming Beautiful Life: Romeo & Romeo. The film will present the HTG debuts of Prison Break’s Marshall Allman and New York native Will Rothhaar. Hettie MacDonald is expected to direct again and will bring the story to America this time. The first Beautiful Life film has grossed just over 80 million dollars.
Tagged for a 2008 release is The Return of Tony Diamonds: Volume 1 by old-time HTG resident Shane Alexander. Flip Brothers execs are keeping tight-lipped on the details of the film, but one insider stated that “it might be the first in a new original series of films.”
The Flip Brothers are kings of the HTG comic franchises. Further sequels for Superman are in the works. According to a FB source, “The next Superman film will feature the origin of Wonder Woman, who will be the number two star.” It is being co-plotted by current producer Kris Greet and studio exec Ritchie Steven, then written by KG. A preliminary plot for the following Superman movie has even been discussed.
“With the new product coming and the solid shows already out,” the Flip Brothers source concluded, “we expect to see the studio’s success continue well into 2008.”
Whatever. Shane’s film will never come out.
