so what's left? scream, the mummy and saw ... well, i'd go with the mummy (3rd chance ^^) cause... it must be the same story they also showed in the 2nd part.... and how do they call the film anyway? "THE MUMMY RETURNS..... AGAIN...."

hm maybe "Mummy's have eyes 2" xD ... "Return of the fouling one" ... or geez that was it ... would be blunt to make a sequel though >.>

[SoulBlazerFan]

...Well... sorry, another wrong answer. :p

[chicken]

i take my fourth chance and pick... scream...

well, true, more stupid chicks running around and getting chased by a mad killer surely WILL make you rich, but since the last part is already that old, i dont think theres gonna be another part

Scream is the correct answer! While Wes Craven has said he'd eventually like to do another Scream film (Scream 4Ever, some have said it would be called), it's not slated to be released.

As for the last two:

Saw 4 is just about to begin shooting. Final casting is being made at the time of this post. In fact, Tobin Bell (Jigsaw) has said he's signed on until Saw 6!

The Mummy 3 is to begin shooting this summer, and Brendan Fraiser is set to return, also starring Jet Li. (No word on the Scorpion King, the Rock)

Speaking of Pro wrestlers, here's a tough new question pertaining to that subject:

Question 9:

Who is the youngest person to have won the WWE/WWF world title?

[Freedan]

That would be Randy Orton, at 24 years old.

Unless you want to get picky, and say that he won the World Heavyweight Title, which is just the old WCW belt. In that case, the youngest "WWE" champion was Brock Lesnar at 25 years.

That's splitting hairs, since the "WWE" title is on Smackdown, and the heavyweight title is on Raw.

But, yeah... Orton was the youngest to win a world title.

...Which is correct. My brother who is training to be a pro wrestler (He works the local shows alot, and even goes to a wrestling school), pretty much told me Randy Orton was pushed because of two reasons; One, his father, Cowboy Bob Orton, was chumly with McMahon and a huge supporter of his; second, after Lesner skipped out of the WWE, so they had to take away his record by letting someone even younger than he win the title.

The Final Question... will be posted shortly. :p

[Freedan]

I always figured that's what it was. Just the WWE's way of sticking it to Lesnar after he left in such a lousy fashion, and trashed the company in interviews.

I've been racking my brain for a perfect question to close out the fourth SBiF Random Trivia contest, and here it goes;


Question 10: Frank Miller (writer of The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City) originally hired, and wrote a screenplay for a sequel to a film, which was well received by the studio execs. Later, however, he was told it was unfilmable, and it was heavily rewritten- and when released, became a critical flop. What film was it?

[chicken]

well i guess you dont mean 300 so i got no idea =/

[Freedan]

I read about this while reading a bit about lousy movies.

If I'm not mistaken, that would be RoboCop 2. He was asked to write a sequel to the first movie, and the movie execs didn't like it, so they rewrote it until it was an unwatchable pile of tripe.

People hated it because there was too much violence with no reason or context, and Mr. Robo himself was more robot than man again, even after becoming "human" again in the first movie.

Didn't they do something with the original script? I think they used it for comics.

Right-o, Freedan. You got everything down pat. And yes, between 2003-2006 9 issues covering the entire screenplay was released as "Frank Miller's Robocop."

Congratulations to all the winners. See you next time!
