The Da Vinci Code sequel Angels & Demons will start production in February. Ron Howard is back on the director's chair, Tom Hanks will reprise his role as Robert Langdon. Angels & Demons was written before The Da Vinci Code but they'll turn it into a follow-up due to the success of the first flick.

Rob Cohen's Mummy 3 update!:
Director Rob Cohen posted another cool The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor update on his blog! Here's a clip;
"The dawn is breaking over the Great Wall, the original wall made of tamped earth that towers across the horizon. The sun is real; I had the wall built. Soon Jet Li, the Dragon Emperor himself, will mount a 50-foot high colossus of himself to wake his 5,000 Terracotta Warriors from 20 centuries underground and lead them in one final battle against the O'Connell's and the Mystical Forces of his ancient enemy played by Russell Wong who has been raised by Michelle Yeoh. Armies will clash. Good vs. Evil. The living vs. the Undead."

DePalma talks The Untouchables!!!:
Brian DePalma talked briefly to MTV about The Untouchables prequel, which will be entitled The Untouchables: Capone Rising. The film will likely be his next project and revolves around Jimmy Malone's relationship with Capone during Capone's rise.
Gerard Butler replaces Sean Connery as Jimmy Malone. Nicolas Cage was attached to play Capone but is no longer on board, they're looking for another actor who could swing the baseball bat.
"I would like to use a lot of the original music from The Untouchables," DePalma said, "and the original locations in Chicago."
I'm pretty curious about the development of this prequel, always in for a gritty gangster flick! I'll keep you posted.
