Monkeybone, Lara Croft, Star Trek 5 and "Lost in Space" reunion!

The release of the film "Monkeybone" based on the comic book "Dark Town" is less than a week away. I know nothing as to whether this film is good or not, but here's the plot synopsis:

The story centers on a cartoonist (played by Brendan Fraser) who slips into a coma and finds himself trapped in a world of his own imagining. The director is Henry Selik and you can find out more at Comics2Film at http://www.comics2film.com/newstory.shtml

The Tomb radier movie is being filmed in England at the 007 studios. (Anyone got an airline ticket and an extra pass?). I will not bore you with the story details, but one ambitious fan (Tombie?) has pictures and the full story scoop.

This movie begs the question - can a popular sexploation video game and comic book be turned into a sexplotation movie? Hmmm. On second thought, forget I asked. The question can only get me in trouble.

In other Cinescape news, they report that a new Star Trek series is set for fall 2001. They only need a script. A title. A cast, A set. A few dozen other things. The good news is the business end is tied up. And if you have been reading my ramblings here for a while - you know I am acutely aware that entertainment is a business.
