The Weekly Ketchup: "Spider-Man 3" Teasers, "Pirates 3" Pics And Rumors, "Transformers" Images, And More!
In this week's Ketchup, we just can't get enough of those tidbits from the upcoming third installments of "Spider-Man" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the live-action "Transformers."
Also, Heath Ledger can't avoid "Dark Knight" questions while trying to promote his little indie film, and some guy's intial reaction to "Apocalypto" somehow made headlines. Read on for more.
This Week's Most Popular News:
New Peeks at Spidey 3 and Pirates 3!
It really stinks to have to sit and wait for movies like these ones, but as long as we keep getting a constant string of posters, trailers, set pics and photo galleries, we're happy. Actually we're not, but we'll take what we can get, right?
A Young Captain Jack in "Pirates 3"?
The latest rumor swirling around about the next (and final?) "Pirates of the Caribbean" flick is that we just might get a peek at what Captain Jack Sparrow looked like ... as a kid!
(More) New Transformers Pics!
I get the feeling that this is going to be a weekly occurrence until Michael Bay's "Transformers" is finally released, but here you go: More new pics of the robo-vehicles!
A Few Random "Dark Knight" Nuggets
Poor Heath Ledger is out there on the circuit trying to promote his indie flick "Candy" -- and all he's getting are "The Dark Knight" questions! Ah well, I suppose it's better than being unemployed, eh Heath?
"Apocalypto" Wow
Yes, "wow" says ... a guy who reads AICN. Some dude with a pseudonym caught an early screening of Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto," and get this: He LIKED IT! Stunning!

kfarschman writes: on Dec 09 2006 09:55 AM Why are you talking about Spiderman and Pirates 3? Didn't you here the real news? They are making a Phil Hellmuth biopic!!! Aren't you excited? I mean that will hit at the absolute climax of poker's popularity too, noone is tired ad nausea (saying "ad nausea" as opposed to "to nausea" adds points to your IQ. fun fact) about that psuedo sport at all. I'm glad that got a truly talented actor in Hayden Christensen to potray the legend that is Phil. I think I'm going to cry in anticipation for "The Madison Kid". I'm not laughing at the title at all either. (too much sarcasm can cause cancer. fun fact :) ). (Reply to this) |

unbreakable_samurai writes: on Dec 09 2006 01:42 PM I thought Depardieu retired. That's awesome that Rickman joined the cast of Sweeney Todd, he helps me anticipate this even more. And why the hell did Haggis get Tim McGraw cast in his film, for the love of all that is right, get rid of him. (Reply to this) |
