Newsflash:
Hi guys, nice juicy tidbits to end the week. I'll be back this weekend with the next update:
 Scrubs star Zach Braff made his impressive directorial debut with Garden State. His next helming project will be a remake of Danish film Open Hearts. The film centers on a woman who is devastated when her fiance is paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident. Source: Variety
John Cusack will star in the independent drama Grace is Gone. The film revolves around a father who takes his two daughters on a road trip. His wife has been killed in the line of duty in Iraq. Source: Variety
"Witness Superman using his super powers to save Metropolis from Metallo, one of many classic super villains in Superman Returns: The Videogame. Inspired by the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures feature film and more than 60 years of DC Comics lore, the game creates the first multi-dimensional open-world super hero experience." Cool, huh, now check out the game's trailer right here!
And I've got more superhero stuff, the official synopsis for X-Men: The Last Stand is now available. The story line is pretty incredible, check this out:
"In X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, the final chapter in the "X-Men" motion picture trilogy, a "cure" for mutancy threatens to alter the course of history. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their powers and become human. The opposing viewpoints of mutant leaders Charles Xavier, who preaches tolerance, and Magneto, who believes in the survival of the fittest, are put to the ultimate test - triggering the war to end all wars."

Joel Silver talks future projects:
The uber-producer Joel Silver is responsible for many, many classic action vehicles, including Commando, Predator, Lethal Weapon series, The Matrix trilogy and coming soon, the sci-fi flick V for Vendetta.
The man gives an update on his future projects.
The Reaping: "The next one up is The Reaping, with Hilary Swank and directed by Stephen Hopkins, which is kind of a supernatural thriller and that will be out in the summer."
The Visiting: "That's with Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, and it's directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, a German making his English language debut."
Logan's Run and Wonder Woman: "Those pictures are very active. Logan's, we're trying to put that together now. That will hopefully go in the fall, with Superman Returns helmer Bryan Singer directing it. And Serenity director Joss Whedon is writing Wonder Woman. Hopefully, we'll have a script very soon on Wonder Woman. I want to make that, too."

James Cameron talks!:
Director James Cameron finally spills the beans and talks to AICN about his upcoming films, here's a clip:
PROJECT 880 is AVATAR, or as he put it, "a retooled version of AVATAR"
Now he still doesn't know if it is going to be BATTLE ANGEL ALITA or AVATAR that comes next. You see deep within the N.S.A. like security of LIGHTSTORM, Jim has been constructing a Virtual Production Studio completely unlike anything anyone has ever seen before. Within that space are two separate teams concurrently prepping and getting ready to shoot back to back essentially over a 3 year span, BATTLE ANGEL ALITA and AVATAR.
Why the back and forth? It isn't because he's trying to drive us crazy, it's because he is so in love with both projects that he can't just emotionally choose one over the other.

Schwarzenegger still in Conan?:
If Arnold should lose or not serve a second term as California Governor, the former action star could be
back as Conan... Well, if its up to Warner Bros. Here's what a reliable source told TheArnoldFans.com:
"I can't say much but Jeff Robinov (president of the WB film division) is definitely hoping that Arnold looses the race for a 2nd term as governor so he can make his place back into feature films with King Conan. The film might not even be called King Conan anymore and instead go back to Conan the Conqueror. The title King Conan sounds like a finale and that's not what Warner Bros wants.
If Arnold looses the next term, WB wants the new Conan epic shooting on a grueling gorilla schedule around the clock starting March 2007 for a December 2007 release date. If Spielberg can do it for War of the Worlds it can be done."
Sounds very interesting, hopefully John Milius will be back on the director's chair, I'll keep you posted.

Superman Returns footage description:
Superman Returns director Bryan Singer gave journalists from Malaysia (of all places!) a first peek at footage of the film! Here's a clip:
"You want to see more? Maybe I should show you ... nah, maybe not," Bryan Singer teased. Pause. "Oh, why not," he said as he dragged the mouse looking for another scene. He obviously knew what he was looking for. We, on the other hand, didn't know what else was in store.
We heard a click only to see something flying across the screen. It wasn't a bird, but it sure was a plane ... heading to crash into a baseball field.
The look of horror on the faces of the people sitting in the stands was priceless (again, not unlike ours) until a swoosh flashed across the screen and something in blue and red grabbed hold of the nose of the plane and tried to slow it down as it dove towards the pitch. Would it crash?
Singer stopped the footage just before we could see if Superman had indeed saved the day.
That's cool! Click here for the full report!

Newsflash:
It's weekend and I've got great new pics for you today! First today's newsflash:
Joaquin Phoenix is set to star in John Singleton's Without Remorse. The film is based on Tom Clancy's novel about Navy Seal Commando John Kelly a.k.a. Mr. Clark. Willem Dafoe played Mr. Clark in Clear and Present Danger and Liev Schreiber did the job in the Sum Of All Fears. I haven't read the books but I love the Clancy flicks, looking forward to see this film. Source: Latino Review
