Rumor Mill: The Rock’s Commando Remake? Megan Fox: Vampire Slayer? Bond 23 In Afghanistan?

First up, JoBlo caught wind of an article in the Australian magazine RCI that claims a remake of the 1980’s Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic Commando is being developed. Another site, Cinefools, has also heard rumblings of a Commando reboot, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson rumored to star. Hollywood is rebooting all the other Schwarzenegger action films (Predator, Total Recall..etc) so why not Commando? And The Rock has long been compared as the Arnold of the next generation. Some might recall a mini “passing of the torch” in The Rundown. Mark this rumor as possible.
UK Newspaper The Guardian speculates that the 23rd James Bond film will feature “the poppy fields and drug barons of [Afghanistan].” Apparently the screenwriters of the next Bond adventure sought technical advice from the British embassy in Kabul, so its very possible.
