Ain't It Cool News - The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. —
[image] Hey folks, Harry here...

Bangkok Dangerous opened with only $7.8 million over the weekend, but on the upside it still topped the box office chart and it was still better than Nic Cage’s last non-National Treasure movie, Next. Far more embarrassing is Babylon A.D.’s 58% drop and College’s 55% drop in their second week, as well as Hamlet 2’s 52% drop in its second week in an already disappointing attempt at wide release.
Perhaps the Bard will have better luck in Paramount’s announced adaptation of the young-adult novel Spanking Shakespeare, which ...

From Tuna flix, After playing the last man on Earth in I Am Legend, now Will Smith is going to become The Last Pharaoh. According to Variety, the script will be written by Randall Wallace (who’d probably rather you remember him for Braveheart than Pearl Harbor), and centers on “Taharqa, the pharaoh who battled Assyrian invaders in ancient Egypt.” Smith would play the pharaoh, a role he’s wanted to do for some time now, and brought the story to Wallace himself.
