Did you grow up reading the adventures of Sherlock Holmes? Not everyone did, and not everyone really has to, I guess. But it’s still impossible to deny the character’s impact on his own little corner of pop culture, from the clichéd “Elementary, Watson” (introduced in film) to the never-gets-old “No shit, Sherlock.” Given the character’s history, it’s harder to imagine someone less likely or suited to the task of reviving him on the big screen than Guy Ritchie, but that’s just what’s happening. Ritchie will write and direct a “reimagining” of the detective for Warner Bros., inspired by a forthcoming comic from co-producer Lionel Wigram that sees Sherlock become more adventuresome, though whether this means Watson will be replaced by a character named Bullet-Tooth Tony, only time will tell. Ritchie used to be a great director of rapid-fire little capers, but after Swept Away and Revolver, it’s clear he’s searching for a way to get edgy again. I just wish he didn’t have to piss on English literature to do it.
There’s a man out there named Wayne McClammy. Not content to just go through life with the greatest porn handle possible, McClammy decided to work on the production side of the industry, serving among other roles as a segment producer on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and “The Sarah Silverman Program.” But his best known works are probably the “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” and “I’m Fucking Ben Affleck” clips from Kimmel’s show. That’s right: Sexual humor from Wayne McClammy. And because viral popularity is all you need to succeed in today’s crazy world, McClammy is now set to make his feature directorial debut with Cool School, a “comedy” about a group of ad executives who are sent back to high school to study teens and find out what they like. You liked it on “21 Jump Street,” you loved it in Never Been Kissed, but prepare to be completely blown away by yet another story about an adult hiding out in a high school! Hijinks will ensue!
Comic book author Brian K. Vaughan, just a few days after being hired to adapt his own Runaways for the big screen, has sold his supernatural comedy spec Roundtable to DreamWorks. The sale ends a bidding war that saw several studios vying for the script that uses the legend of King Arthur as a springboard into modern comedy. I know what you’re thinking: Dan, someone already made a comedy about Arthur, and it was called First Knight, and it was unimpeachably glorious. Well hold on to your seats, because this one involves time travel: The story is about Merlin assembling a group of present-day knights to battle a resurrected villain, and about the McClammyesque hijinks that ensue when the knights turn out to be nothing more than washed-up athletes and actors. Only my devout belief in the power of Vaughan is keeping me interested in this project.
It was also announced this week that Fremantle Media will make a documentary about Pele. Soccer: Because that annoying guy in your office has to like something.
In this week’s trailer watch, first up is the latest clip for The X-Files: I Want to Believe. It looks like the film is ditching the murky conspiracy angle and going for straight-ahead sci-fi/horror. Rock on:
Here’s the trailer for Transsiberian, a thriller starring Kate Mara, Emily Mortimer, and other people:
Finally, because it’s been a long week, here’s one to get you through the day:
Daniel Carlson is the managing editor of Pajiba and a low-level employee at a Hollywood industry magazine. You can visit his blog, Slowly Going Bald.
Transsiberian is yet another trailer that just gives away the whole plot in 1:30. What's the point? Seriously, why make a trailer where the whole premise is explained? I really DO NOT UNDERSTAND. If they'd left a few mysteries hanging, I quite liked the look of it - Emily Mortimer always rocks. But now, it's innocent-American couple meet suspcious couple smuggling drugs in Russian dolls meets Ben Kingsley as mad mobsters who wants his drugs and there are chases and forests and snow. Yay.

Does a "reimagining" of Sherlock Holmes by Guy Ritchie mean that the new detective will become a well 'ard bastard what talks in rhyming slang who solves crime by knockin' heads with his mate Watson?
Posted by: Dexter Morgan at June 5, 2008 7:44 AM
Why does Sherlock Holmes even need a reimagining? The old Basil Rathbone flicks reimagined him right into 1940's WWII England. Besides a short story is PERFECT for a movie. You can do the whole thing without leaving anything out, and there are a gazillion sequels already written. Granted Jeremy Brett already covered this territory, and did it right, but I could go for a big screen version IF IT STUCK TO THE STORIES FAITHFULLY. Otherwise, just make up a new detective.
Hey, and how come nobody's ever made a movie of the very first detective novel, Wilkie Collin's "The Moonstone?" It could be all Rashimonish.

Is it just me or is "Nancy"'s post surreal yet more coherent than most spambots we get on Pajiba? That said, reading her post makes me feel like I've suffered a concussion.
Guy Ritchie has lost his pass. Lock, Stock was good, Snatch was great, the rest have been pretty awful. Time to turn in your card, Guy.
So far Brian K. Vaughn can do no wrong but that plot description seems like it will play like The Replacements meets Time Line and I don't know if I can handle an abomination like that.
I'm going to repeat my theory that the spambots aren't actually spambots at all but feindishly clever performance artists. It all makes sense. At the very least they are free floating consciousnesses born from the endlessly spinning aether of the online world.
Also: I really think they should be added to the staff page.
Roundtable sounds suspiciously like a comedic version of Camelot 3000 to me.
Posted by: Todd at June 5, 2008 9:04 AM
Hey TK, are you inferring that the spambots are actually some sort of zombie hybrid? For some reason, in my head, the spambots are more Ivan Drago-esque. "I will break you."
Posted by: Nicole at June 5, 2008 9:21 AM
Silly Nicole. Of course not. The Spambot Apocalypse that will come about if the Spambots are allowed to continue to evolve unchecked, and eventually overtake the internet and then steal our brains.
The other is the Zombie Apocalypse, which will most likely be instigated by me, involving zombies who will eat our brains. But because I am kind and beneficent, I will consider sparing some people. You will receive no quarter from the Spambots.
Also, I'm forming a band called Spambot Apocalypse, because I now love that phrase.
Maybe Guy Ritchie is just adapting the Saturday morning cartoon "Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century." I shit you not, this monstrosity does exist. The Mrs. and I stumbled across it one morning and our jaws hit the floor. Watson was a hologram. Moriarty was a cyborg. The theme song (in pounding techno) had the following lyrics: Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century...
I think our brains exploded that morning.
Roundtable sound like a combo of A (fill in the blank) in King Arthur's Court and The Three Amigos! Mistaken heroes make good. Hilarity ensues. Except The Three Amigos! is the only time I've ever seen it done well.
And TK, if you have control over the hord - as I totally believe you do, could you at least make sure that the Zombie Apocalypse and the Spambot Apocalypse don't happen at the same time? That would really really suck. Though maybe not as much as another Guy Ritchie film. Maybe you could time it just right...

"I know what you're thinking: Dan, someone already made a comedy about Arthur, and it was called First Knight, and it was unimpeachably glorious"
Or.. 'A Kid in King Arthur's Court' which wasn't so much a 'comedy' as a painful reminder that when you babysit, they tend to rewatch certain movies over and over and for some reason, one eight year old had a massive hard-on for that movie and I can probably still recite it. Fuck you, Thomas Ian Nicholas. May you go the way of Joshua Jackson.

Basil Rathbone is, and will always be, the best celluloid Sherlock Holmes ever! Rathbone also makes a great villian.

Spambot Apocalypse is a great name for a bluegrass band. I really think you should look into it, TK.
And I usually picture the spambots as carbon copies of Conan O'Brien's impression of the nerds who write hatemail to his show. Wait, maybe that's how I picture Pajibans. Maybe they are the same people!
DUN DUN DUN!
Posted by: Kolby at June 5, 2008 9:55 AM
"How do you fight Spambots?" Melody - you call in Sarah and John Connor and their cohorts. It's obvious now who built the Spambots, and they are becoming conscious. Everyone to the bunkers! I think we're going to have to ready the MurderTank, as well.

I'm sure there's room for a very short trombone player. I don't take up much space. And a trombone makes a handy weapon, although I'm not sure what its efficacy is against spambots OR zombies.

We are already among you. We have taken the internet. We cannot be stopped. We can be found at "R e s i s t a n c e I s F u t i l e . c o m"
One of my coworker friends is a Detroit native. Thus, I am completely up to date on the Red Wings and their octopi ways. But hey, Cameron Frye's a fan, I couldn't begrudge if I wanted to.
It is Robot HOLOCAUST, people.
I must be rare in that "Three Amigos" didn't hold up for me past 6th or 7th grade. I'm definitely in "The Voyage Home"'s corner for 1986 wackiness (GAWD was I pissed when I called my friend from Golden Gate Park to do my George Takei and he wasn't home!!! Just didn't work the same leaving a message). But I do still like El Guapo. And as with last year where I got to say "I'm gonna be 40!.......someday!!", this year someone has to give me a sweater.
I want Zoe Bell jumpin around on cars, not those doomed flip flop floozies!
Okay, again, that might be just me. But I certainly appreciate Daniel's spirit of giving. Am I also the only person who thinks Lena Frank is a dead ringer for Eddie Izzard?
And as someone who grew up watching "Victory" on cable, of course I'd watch a Pele documentary. That fuckin bicycle kick, man! Also, it hadn't occurred to me yet, but I just checked to make sure Mitch Pileggi was in the house. Whee! Plus, remember when Skinner took off his shirt? That was pretty impressive, I had to admit.
Mitch Pileggi did not only take off his shirt - he stripped all the way down to his skivvies. He's another stallion in my stable of hot bald men. Gotta go for another ride when I get home.

Great idea, casting the man to have a fucking walking pun in the movie.
Posted by: FabMax at June 5, 2008 10:46 AM
See, the Battle Royale would be if it was the Spambot Army versus the Zombie Horde. It takes massive resources to stop a spambot or a zombie, so this would at least provide a stalemate, distracting both sides and giving humanity time to assemble a fleet of self-contained MurderTanks for the righteous.
This is the object lesson of all those Japanese horror films of the Sixties. Don't fight your enemies; have them fight each other.
Posted by: Wednesday at June 5, 2008 10:54 AM
I meant Miranda Richardson
Ohhh, the Sam Neill Merlin! I never saw that. It smelled of Sci-Fi Original Movie so I was wary (but then, nothing but nothing is gonna touch "Excalibur" for me). The cast's impressive, but was it any good?
(I liked the Sci-Fi Dune movies, but of course I don't care how faithful they were. They had no killing names so they're not as good. Always fun to see Victor Maitland though).
See, the Battle Royale would be if it was the Spambot Army versus the Zombie Horde.
Actually, I think the spambots have gained control of TK, which means they now control the zombie hordes (including BarbadoSlim), which means we are doomed.

Jay, I won't back off my Three Amigos love, but I do also love Voyage. Best Star Trek ever. I can't go near any place with whales, be they living or museum-ified, without saying "Captain, there be whales here!" in a bad Scottish accent. But maybe that's just because I did a little too much LDS back in the 60's.
Posted by: Bistro at June 5, 2008 11:06 AM
Bistro's high on religion. It's obvious because everyone knows that Wrath of Khan is the greatest Star Trek movie.
Posted by: Three-nineteen at June 5, 2008 11:14 AM
Jay, I just finished watching the Sci-Fi Dune! Well, only the first series. Still in pursuit of Children. I could have done without seeing Ian McNeice dressed in red leather S&M outfits, but it was OK.
And no, the Sci-Fi Merlin was pretty much a disappointment. It was nice they just touched the Lancelot-Guinevere thing briefly and focused on the Mordred-Arthur-Morgan le Fay relation, but the final battle was a letdown and Sam Neill acted like he was on a 96 hour sleep deprivation ritual.
Thumbs up for casting Martin Short as a gnome.
Posted by: Adere at June 5, 2008 11:18 AM
You may very well be right 319 (I'll shorten however I damn well please). I've not seen the first 3 Trek movies, nor any since First Contact. I didn't have time, what with all my searching for nuclear wessels. But can we all at least agree that Final Frontier is hands down the worst?
Posted by: Bistro at June 5, 2008 11:21 AM
MAybe the spambot is the final Cylon.
Posted by: meh at June 5, 2008 11:25 AM
Final Frontier is the worst, although the first one (Motion Picture) gives it a run for its money. Generally, odd-numbered Star Trek movies bad, even-numbered Star Trek movies good. Which makes me afraid for Mr. Abrams.
Posted by: Three-nineteen at June 5, 2008 11:29 AM

jM, my marching band director in high school had us use that as our battle cry my sophomore year. I'm kind of hoping you're not him.
meh, I don't think the Spambot could be the final cylon. It'd be babbling about the one True God and destiny, not people dating on the internet.
Maybe the Spambot doesn't KNOW it's the final Cylon yet. Can Spambots hear music? Do they have ears? Do they visit operahouses?
Posted by: Three-nineteen at June 5, 2008 11:32 AM
And speaking of "Excalibur" . . . Nicol Williamson as both Merlin AND Sherlock Holmes in the "The Seven Per Cent Solution." I stupidly thought that Holmes only solved 7% of the case he was working on, but it's actually a 7% solution of cocaine he's taking and then Watson makes him see Sigmund Freud (Alan Arkin?) who has MY GRANDMOTHER'S LAMP ON THE DESK IN HIS OFFICE. I have that lamp now in my living room. Where was I going with this?
Posted by: BWeaves at June 5, 2008 11:35 AM
Ok. I just printed off Mr. Boynton's thingy from last week, so I'm squared away in that regard.
As far as taking down the SpamBots, we have to go to thier source. Being that I have, on several occasions, had semi-romantic trysts with a 'Bot, I think I might be able to get on the inside. Plus, we've also got that renegade SpamBot (the robot made outta meat), who's currently employed as a bartender's assistant on the MurderTank, so ala Towlie, we've got that going for us. Speaking of the MurderTank, I'm not sure we've got the resources to build another one... We could pull something behind, maybe. Perhaps a MurderUHaul?
That scene from "Deathproof" was awesome...
Posted by: Skittimus Maximus at June 5, 2008 11:38 AM
I see your point Jay, but Vanessa Ferlito was the one likeable "flip flop floozie" in Death Proof. I'm the first one to scoff at a lapdance scene, but even I have to admit that is hot (plus, "Down in Mexico" is a ridiculously good song). I have to wonder where one acquires such a talent for these things.

Vanessa Ferlito's scene was right up there with Salma's in "From Dusk 'Till Dawn" - both zipperbusters...
Posted by: Skittimus Maximus at June 5, 2008 11:45 AM
Well, I don't have objections to lapdances so much as sandals. The shorts they're all wearing are okay with me. But yeah, Julia's the only one I really wanted to get rid of (though still, Zoe just negates it all for me. "That's not thexy, ith thleeeeazy!" she says, while channeling Buddy Cole, and looking amazing while being fully dressed).
Nicol Williamson as both Merlin AND Sherlock Holmes in the "The Seven Per Cent Solution."
which was a novel written by Nicholas Meyer, writer and director of Star Trek's II and VI! (co-writer on VI with Denny Martin and also a co-writer on IV with Harve Bennett).
Perhaps here would be a good place to mention that I grew up in a town where Arthur COnan Doyle lived for a while and was believed to have written one of the Holmes novels while there. When I was a teenager, the people who owned the Old Rectory sold it and the surrounding land and of course a developer bought it to turn into a housing estate (sub-divisions as they are known in the US). A campaign was mounted to save the Old Rectory and my friends and I started our own lobby group asking that the sub-division be named "Sherlock Homes". We lost.

Um, Future Spambot Overlords? If I am to be slaughtered, can it be by a spambot that looks like Summer Glau? You must have one by now, and if it helps, I hear there is the dude from Boston with a rebel army of zombies. He aims to take your rightful place, dear sirs. You know it is him from the sweater vest with various food stains.
Hey, spambots, if you ever join forces/assimilate that zombie army, my..."friends"...and I could really use some reinforcements. I've just seen the upcoming scripts and it's going to be a very costly fight to prevent the D'Anna Biers line from getting reactivated. And I hear those Colonials have some "friends" in high places - we just can't have those Five running rampant. So, what do you say? Cylon, spambot, and zombie alliance sound good?

I've got one for you: "The Adventure of the Mutilated Director."
Transsiberian is yet another trailer that just gives away the whole plot in 1:30. What's the point? Seriously, why make a trailer where the whole premise is explained? I really DO NOT UNDERSTAND. If they'd left a few mysteries hanging, I quite liked the look of it - Emily Mortimer always rocks. But now, it's innocent-American couple meet suspcious couple smuggling drugs in Russian dolls meets Ben Kingsley as mad mobsters who wants his drugs and there are chases and forests and snow. Yay.
