As Iron Man 3 has inched so close there is nothing else from the movie world that should interest most for this weekend, including myself. But in case you one of those rare breeds who loves movies but had enough of superheroes for now, here are five interesting non-superhero stories going around which should give you a breather, even if it shall only last for a few minutes!
a) There's yet another Dracula movie waiting on the horizon. For the last eighty years movies on this fanged creature who is no different than us all apart from his blood sucking ways and sleeping issues, have ranged from brilliant and terrifying to plain stupid. And now we will be seeing a prequel in 2014 that will portray Dracula as a tragic hero in a love story. Yeah, you heard it right... Dracula too had a heart once! Luke Evans is to be cast in the titular role and if you seen his performance in Raven then there's something in Dracula to look forward to.
b) Many loved House M.D. And many loved Hugh Laurie. So this one is for those who admire Laurie as an actor. His next feature film has an intriguing storyline which dwells on a war ravaging an island and a young girl taking refuge in the narration of a classic novel being told by Laurie. Titled Mr. Rip, the film's trailer is out and a must watch for Laurie admirers.
c) George Clooney stole a lot of limelight during the award shows early in the year for a different contribution altogether, being the co-producer of the acclaimed film Argo. He's now looking to co-produce again with Grant Heslov on a film based on teenagers smuggling drugs from Mexico. Tentative title seems to be Coronado High. Involve Clooney somehow in a movie and there's a good chance he'll spark things up!
d) With young adult fantasy stories earning big bucks as films, it is the turn of India's Reliance Entertainment to turn its focus to this genre. It has purchased the rights to Graceling which is the first book of the award-winning fantasy series, The Seven Kingdom trilogy. A scriptwriter has been chosen and so there seems to be something interesting to look forward to once The Hunger Games is over.
e) Justin Bieber's tour bus was searched in Sweden by authorities and to their horror they discovered marihuana which could have alarming implications for international relations between many countries who are Bieblers and Sweden. Sigh... seems I've run out of interesting things to say. Adios then... till we done watching Iron Man 3!
