An interview that I think slipped under the radar... http://t.co/P0rnF7kzJe (I promise it's not porn, that's just the shortened URL)
This is actually really exciting. Farsight have the rights to quite a few licenses that would otherwise be impossible.
I'd say Hook is almost a definite given the lack of actor likenesses, but given that Farsight could use the Ghostbusters cast, I'd imagine that wouldn't be an issue for a lot of the tables. Personally I'd rule out Spider-Man and Godzilla due to the other studios owning key licenses there. Spider-Man would need big bucks from Disney, and from what I understand, the Japanese owners of Godzilla would like to brush the 90s movie under the carpet. The fact that they're Japanese is an issue in the first place, the Japanese are very touchy about other countries using their licenses. The new Godzilla movie is WB, so I'd imagine whatever Sony owned is expired.
Just some ramblings from me that may end up being completely false
P.S. Don't think Goldeneye is Sony-owned. According to Wikipedia, anyway.

So as mentioned on Blahcade Podcast #21, Farsight had a deal for 5 tables.
We've had Bram Stoker's Dracula and Starship Troopers, what does everyone think the other 3 are most likely to be? I'm guessing:
1. Mary Shelly's Frankenstein
2. Johhny Mnemonic
3. Last Action Hero
Wonder if they'll do one a season, might want to spread them out a bit.

Ghostbusters was the third, so there are two more.

at the same time, LAH would be an "arnie," and there's past experience with him, right? isn't he a known celeb PB fan?Id like to return the ghostbusters license...
Also still mad that I paid full price for the table and now it has reverted back to the token system.
Honestly all 3 of those tables seem like winners.

I'd rather have Johnny Mnemonic over Last Action Hero as it's a Williams over a Data East. I'm yet to find a DE that I love. Some are alright. Would be a shame to miss the chance for a Williams DMD as we're running out of those.
I suppose it's possible that they could license more movies to them when the five run out.

I would rather have LAH for the sake of variety. We currently have 26 WMS tables with DMDs and no Data East tables with DMDs. However, I have never played LAH.
I did happen to play both Johnny Mnemonic and The Shadow a year ago. I remember really liking one but not caring for the other. But I don't remember which is which :/

Based on everything I've heard and read, I'm expecting to see MSF and LAH. JM would be more of a surprise, but it would be super to see all three.

Warner Bros
Dirty Harry
Flinstones
LotR
Maverick
Lethal Weapon 3
Fox
Avatar
X-Files
Anyone care to add to that list? Was Demolition Man WB?
