Just Shoot Me: Remakes & Trachtenberg

*There is word on "Black Christmas". This is a remake fo a 1974 film which is starting production here on the 30th. "The original Black Christmas was released in 1974 and was a Canadian production filmed in the Toronto area by Director Bob Clark (A Christmas Story, Porky's)," says Hollywood North Report. "It's considered one of the original slasher flicks and follows the events at a sorority house over Christmas break. The Co-eds (Trachtenberg, Winstead, Cassidy) are terrorized by an obscene phone caller (Hudson) with a bloody agenda."

Two questions. 1. This better mean a lot of Michelle Trachtenberg sightings in town (like this). And I don't want a bunch of dumb, Lynne McNamara articles about how she was buying bath bombs at Lush either. 2. How is it that Oliver Hudson is still working? How many failed tv shows and poker failures does this guy have to be finished with his 11 minutes of c-list fame?

*Can you believe they are making The Transporter 3? Well, not really. In fact it's like that movie but Jason Statham is making "Rogue" in Vancouver. According to Dark Horizons, the "action-thriller with his 'The One' co-star Jet Li in the title role," is starting production in March.

"Music video director Philip Atwell (Eminem, NWA, Xzibit) will make his feature film directorial debut," reports Hollywood North Report. "The storyline revolves around Jack Crawford (Statham), whose partner Tom Lone and Lone's family are killed by an assassin for the Chang crime family. Crawford becomes obsessed with finding the elusive and brutal killer known as...Rogue (Li)."
