Hell freezes over on Hellboy:
Revolution Studios announces the start of Hellboy production. Guillermo Del Torro (Blade II, Mimic) is shooting this comic adaptation in Prague at the moment. Ron Perlman is being transformed in this hell creature by make up artist Rick Baker (American Werewolf in London). Click on the pic to see a larger teaser poster (and wonder how Rick will transform this creature to the big screen...).


Tarantino kills Bill:
AICN posted some very "aint it cool" art for the new Quentin Tarantino martial arts homage Kill Bill. The teaser is inspired by the yellow and black jump suit worn by Bruce Lee in Game of Death. Uma Thurman plays the lead in this revenge story. Click on the pic to see a larger version.


King Arthur:
Training Day director Antoine Fuqua is helming the medieval epic King Arthur. Jerry Bruckheimer is producing and Clive Owen (known for his BMW short films) is playing the lead role. Fuqua wants to make a more realistic take on this story.

Tom Cruise's next:
The Z Review reports that Tom Cruise has bought the rights to the novel Rich Man's Coffin about an American slave who escapes and ends up living with the Maori. Cruise is working on the action epic The Last Emperor helmed by Edward Zwick.

Conan The Terminator:
Schwarzenegger is pumping iron again for 2.5 hrs a day according to The ArnoldFans.com. He's prepping for King Conan. John Milius, also responsible for the first movie, is writing and is going to direct the next chapter.
Schwarzenegger also mentioned something about "the arrival sequence" in Terminator 3. It's a scene where the T850 Terminator arrives from the future to present and lands butt naked in a strip joint with other male strippers. I hope he doesn't pull out his weapon...


Bruce Almighty Poster:
Empire movies posted the poster for the new Jim Carrey comedy Bruce Almighty. Carrey plays a guy who is switching places with God for 24 hrs. Tom Shadyac (Ace Ventura, Liar Liar) is directing.

Superman: The Flight has been delayed... again
Josh Hartnett isn't going to put on the red cape. Signing a three picture deal was the main reason for his departure. So it's back to the drawing board, possible actors are Paul Walker (Fast and the Furious), Brendan Fraser and Matthew Bomer.

Grease 3:
Well folks, it's for real, Grease part 3 is going to happen. Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta are officially attached. The rumour that Kylie Minogue is playing the daughter is not true according to Olivia.

Woo Moves:
Hong Kong Director John Woo is moving his Lion Rock productions from MGM to Paramount. Next up for Woo is a sci-fi thriller Paycheck with Ben Affleck. Woo is also developing a CGI version of Mighty Mouse for Nickelodeon, hmm, Mighty Mouse doin' ballistic action holding two guns with the voice of Chow Yun Fat, could be cool...
