‘The Human Centipede III’ Is Definitely Happening

For those of you brave enough to watch The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence, you know that anything that resembles dignity or decency is completely void for those 88 minutes. The first film had at least a little bit more self-respect, and played out like a movie. But the second just threw away anything that can even be confused with art and really just gave us what we wanted; gore.

Writer and director of the first two films, Tom Six, has confirmed that a third Human Centipede film, entitled The Human Centipede III: Final Sequence, is now in production, with a shoot slated to begin in either May or June. Here’s the thing that makes it interesting, though. Both Dr. Heiter and Martin, who were the villainous surgeons from the first two films, will be returning for this third and final installment in the series. Tom Six himself will also have a supporting role (time to get a taste of your own, medicine, you bastard!), and considering the meta-film turn that the sequel took, I can only imagine what the third film will bring.

I’ll be honest, I’m a big fan of the first two. I know damn well that they aren’t well made movies, but they’re a hell of a lot of fun to watch, and I get a kick out of seeing people sewn together. Not in a sadistic way, I just think it’s amusing in the context of a movie. Regardless of the masochistic pleasure I take in watching a film of such degraded morals, The Human Centipede III, as promised by its title, will be 100% politically incorrect.

‘Muppets’ Sequel in the Works, Segel Not Writing

A sequel to the November hit musical, The Muppets, is moving into development after an announcement from Walt Disney confirmed the film. Director James Bobin and screenwriter Nicholas Stoller will be returning, but it seems as if Jason Segel won’t be returning for another round of writing for the sequel. This isn’t to say that he still won’t co-star, but he cites his commitments to “How I Met Your Mother”, as well as other projects he’s working on, as the reason he’s not returning as writer.

Now, Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segel have been collaborators for quite a long time. Stoller directed Segel’s screenplay for Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and then took over as writer and director for the spin-off, Get Him To The Greek. Both of those films are absolutely hilarious, so I have no fear that The Muppets sequel won’t be great. My hope is that Segel will return to star in the sequel, and that Bret McKinzie will also return as composer. I mean, the guy won an Oscar for “Man or Muppet”, he probably has a pretty good incentive to come back, right?

Men In Black III: The New Trailer, Giant Catfish Included!

The new trailer for Men In Black III is out! The trailer includes a giant catfish fighting Will Smith, time travel, and Josh Brolan acting as a 29-year-old Tommy Lee Jones. That last one really made my day! Check it out:

In case you missed it, here is trailer #1:

Men In Black III will be Barry Sonnenfeld’s most potentially disastrous film of the series… at least that is what I gathered from an interview he did with Empire magazine. In this interview, he told Empire that they began filming MIB III with NO ENDING to the script! This, to me, screams professional as f–k. However, to his credit, the trailers look pretty impressive. The plot is also pretty unique.
