Home in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' up for sale

| No Comments
Got a spare 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California you want to destroy in classic film fashion?
    
Remember that scene at the end of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" when Cameron returns to his gorgeous steel and glass home and kicks his father's car right out of the garage into the ravine below?
     
l5be11f42-m0x.jpgNow you can recreate that scene and all it takes is $2.3 million and a trip to Highland Park, Ill. That's right, Cameron's home is for sale. The four bedroom, four bath film icon is being listed at $2.3 million. It's a 5,300 square foot home with a three car garage. (Window has been repaired.) 

Interested? Head over to sothebysrealty.com.
   
Once you buy Cameron's house, take any of your leftover fortune and head to Las Vegas for a crazy pop culture auction on June 26.
     
Up for bid will be items like Marilyn Monroe's coffee table, clothes and jewelry. And if you really want to step up your collection, try bidding on Elvis Presley's prescription pill bottles prescribed one day before the King's death. (Just don't bid while on the toilet.)
     
Can't make it to the auction? Bids will be accepted online at juliensauctions.com.
Castlevania-1.jpgVideo game films are often pretty terrible. A lot of the time they adapted from games that only a few people care about it.
     
And then there's "Castlevania."
     
Not gonna lie, I adored the classic Nintendo adventure about Simon Belmont and his fight against evil. Armed with a whip and the occasional dagger and bottle of holy water, you cruise through different levels of the demonic castle of Dracula killing the undead.
     
So when I heard that Paul W.S. Anderson was working on a film adaptation, I was intrigued. But alas, much like the monsters of the game, the project is dead.
     
Ah well, I guess I'll just have to sit through another crappy "BloodRayne" movie.
   
On the topic of video game films, producer Dan Lin is talking about his upcoming reboot of the "Tomb Raider" franchise.
     
"It's a great origin story that we're going to tell, Lin told About.com. "A very character-oriented story. I would say more realistic than the past Lara Croft movies."
     
Yup, much like the Batman and Bond series', "Raider" is going back to the beginning. Does this mean no more Angelina? Sadly, yes.
     
And her replacement? It's looking more and more like Megan Fox will be stepping into Lara Croft's shorts. I think we can all live with that.
   
"You Don't Know Jack."
     
And after seeing the planned biopic on Dr. Death, Jack Kevorkian, you probably won't want to. The Michigan doctor who created his so called "Mercy Machine" to help in assisted suicides will reportedly be played by Al Pacino.
     
Boy Al, it doesn't even take a big truck of money anymore, does it? Perhaps a mid-size SUV filled with tens and twenties?
