http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=58909Stallone is Turning Hunter Into Rambo V

Last Monday, it was announced that Nu Image/Millennium Films had given the green light to a fifth installment in the "Rambo" franchise. The trades said that the "storyline for the fifth film revolves around Rambo fighting his way through human traffickers and drug lords to rescue a young girl abducted near the U.S.-Mexico border."

According to Sylvester Stallone in several communications with Ain't It Cool News, that storyline is way off. Instead, Sly gave the site a rundown of what to expect instead. Several days later, the site followed up with an official synopsis for the film that is being passed around, and that's where it gets interesting.

You see, Stallone has owned the film rights to the novel "Hunter" by James Byron Huggins for about 10 years, and it looks like he's adapting that book as the next "Rambo" film. Here's the synopsis for the newly-titled Rambo 5: The Savage Hunt:

Angelina Jolie is a wraith and she feeds on Brad Pitt. Just look at the fan mags in the checkout lane.

I've been reading FPW for almost a year now. I've read almost all of the RJ books except for All the Rage and Conspiracies, too hard to find locally. I'm not reading By the Sword, and for the last couple of books I've been hearing about the Twins. I can't for the life of me remember who they are, what book they were in, or how Jack took care of them.

I've read all the RJ books in order from Hosts on up over the last few months so a lot of little things have started to blend together as to which book it was in. I just can't seem to remember them at all.

I'll be done with By the Sword by next week so I'll be all ready to pick up Ground Zero when it comes out!

For anyone living in NYC who can't wait to get Ground Zero, I was in Strand yesterday (Broadway and 12th) and saw a copy of Ground Zero in the used book section for 12.95. It is in the back by mystery on the top shelf (use a ladder).
They said that oftentimes they get reviewers who sell them their copies before the actual publication date.
They only had one copy, so first come first serve!

Hi everybody..

inspired from fpw´s post in "my so called life" ...

Quote:8/7 - just received the new German edition of Reborn. They're calling it ERWECKUNG. I'm told that means "resurrected." Close enough. Lots of times they change the title without telling me. I can see that with something like ALL THE RAGE, which was a play on the English expression (they called it TOLLWUTIG), but why change HOSTS to TODESFREQUENZ?

.. im asking you guys if there are any funny translations in other languages then german.

The funniest translation of all is that the german publishers changed repairmanjack into handymanjack.


i´m looking forward to your reply.

Anybody watching The Colony on the Discovery channel? I caught a commercial for it while watching something else on Discovery one night (prolly Mythbusters) and thought it sounded interesting. So a couple nights ago I watched two episodes online. Not too bad.

The premise: "The Colony is a controlled experiment to see exactly what it would take to survive and rebuild under an extreme global catastrophe. Watch as 10 volunteers try to survive and thrive with no electricity from the grid, no running water, and no communication from the outside world."

It's interesting what they decide to spend their time on and the things they come up with. And I like that it isn't the sort of reality show where somebody "wins" at the end and somebody gets voted out every week. This is meant as a social experiment, not a contest.

It can't be completely true-to-life, of course... the participants know the outside world is right there in case of a real emergency, there are obviously cameras and sound equipment all over the place, and they are confined to a very limited area (in order to simulate a devastated city). So I imagine that if there really were a catastrophe, the people in this show would behave the same way, but moreso. The couple of pushing matches that happened probably would have been much more violent, even deadly, if the situation were real.

Anyway. Just wondering if anybody else has seen this and what you think of it.

I was on ComingSoon,Net website and read about a new movie being filmed;

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=58696

The movie, "Stake Land" has a role going to be portrayed by Kelly McGillis, which sounds very similar to the FPW's character, Sister Carole Hanarty[SIZE=2][SIZE=2][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE] in both the novel, "Midnight Mass" and the short story, "Good Friday" (which has been incorporated into the novel).

Both are RC nuns, had a crisis of faith and from that become vampire hunters.

Now I know that "Midnight Mass" has already been made into a movie, but this is to similar to be a coincidence.

After all, aren't there no more coincidences???

in the latest "Big Thrill"

Just finished "By The Sword"! I don't think I can wait a year to read "Ground Zero" so I'm gonna pop for the Hardcover edition.
