Bradley Cooper To Get Drunk, Write ‘Hyperion’ And Not Remember It?

After Las Vegas and Shanghai, Bradley Cooper wants to visit the Time Tombs. This trip would be sans Wolf Pack.

In a recent interview with Charlie Rose, actor Bradley Cooper revealed that he teamed up with a friend to write a spec adaptation of author Dan Simmons’ Hyperion, part of a series of futuristic sci-fi novels. They already sent their version to GK Films, with the hope of landing the actual writing gig. That takes some real nerd balls, right there.

The book is about seven pilgrims traveling across the galaxy, with the threat of total galactic armageddon looming. Can they make it to Hyperion and save humanity? Can they? We’ll have to see the movie to find out, though the project’s been in development for years. Or, y’know, read the book, but it’s +450 pages and I’m lazy. (/Film)

‘Tomb Raider’ Gets Rebooted, Reboobed

Lara Croft, the astoundingly boobacious adventurer, is one of the most recognizable characters in gaming. Yet for some reason, I think a lot of people are less excited by her than by a fat plumber in overalls. Maybe it’s because Mario only made one shitty movie, and there are two shitty movies in the Tomb Raider series. Wait, check that – three. Or if GK Films has their way, twenty million. Ughhh.

GK Films announced that they’re rebooting the Tomb Raider franchise with “daring new adventures for the young and dynamic Lara Croft.” This will likely mean no more expensive “old” Angelina Jolie – a cheap young hottie will likely wear two gun holsters and not much else from now on. They’re aiming to launch the first movie in 2013.

Can GK Films return Tomb Raider to its rightful place of making a lot of money but nobody really giving a crap? Sure, why not? (/Film)
