Wonder Woman finds director!:
Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel and Firefly) will bring Wonder Woman to the big screen:
"Wonder Woman is the most iconic female heroine of our time, but in a way, no one has met her yet. What I love most about icons is finding out what's behind them, exploring the price of their power. When producer Joel Silver and I began discussing the character, I realized there is a woman behind the legend who is very fascinating, very uncompromising and in her own way almost vulnerable. She's someone who doesn't belong in this world, and since everyone I know feels that way about themselves, the character clicked for me."
"There's no one better than Joss to adapt the legendary Wonder Woman comicbook character created in the 1940s into a dynamic feature film for 21st century audiences," adds Matrix producer Joel Silver, "Wonder Woman was the first great female superhero to emerge from comic books and later inspire millions of fans in her television incarnation, but unlike her counterparts Batman and Superman, this groundbreaking heroine has yet to be reinvented for the feature film arena."

Tarantino Talks!:
Quentin Tarantino talked about his future flicks, one of them will be Inglorious Bastards:
"I want to do a Mandarin language movie, but I'm not sure it'll be the next movie. It'll probably be the next movie I do after the one I do next. I'm doing Inglorious Bastards next. It's my bunch-of-guys-on-a-mission movie. It's my World War II movie. I've written scenes. I've written a lot of it but now I have to sit down and start putting it together in a script that I can start shooting. And that's a different thing."
So that means he won't be doing the Ultimate Jason Voorhees film. The rumour that Tarantino wanted to direct a Friday the 13th film hit the web last week:
"It's a complete lie, I like Jason and everything, but I've no intention of directing a movie! New Line talked to me about it, but it was a complete fabrication, that article. I would love to do a horrorfilm. I'm just saying it's not going to be Friday The 13th..."
Tarantino also talked about releasing the Japanese version of his Kill Bill volumes. The two volumes will be edited together as one giant NC-17 Rated flick called Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair:
"Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is definitely getting a wide release. Actually, that'll probably be the first movie that Miramax, under their new company, will be releasing theatrically. It's the Japanese version, that's why I call it that, you know, it should probably come out in the next few months. It's going to be NC-17 in America. We couldn't do that when Disney owned the place but now Disney's the fuck outta there we can do anything we want! It's gonna be off the hook!"
That's pretty awesome, hope it'll also be released in The Netherlands...

Matt Damon on The Bourne Ultimatum:
Matt Damon talked about the status of the third Jason Bourne film, The Bourne Ultimatum:
"We'll probably do that in about a year and a half. We're all signed on in principle, in the sense that we've all agreed that we want to do it, but we're not going to do it unless we have a great script. It's ours to lose at the minute, and if we do make a third one, we want to make it as good as the first two. And if we can't do that, then we're going to have to let it drop.
It's all character and it's not about gadgets and slick storytelling. It's things that people can connect to, emotionally. The guy's had some fucked-up things happen to him, you know what I mean? So he's kind of an anti-hero in that way. But he's done some horrible things, too. I like that, because you don't see that in Hollywood movies a lot."

Newsflash:
Peter Jackson is still interested in filming The Hobbit! The problem is that the rights to the novel are split between MGM and New Line Cinema. "I think there is probably a will and a desire to try and get it made," Peter said, "But I think it's gonna be a lot of lawyers sitting in a room trying to thrash out a deal before it will ever happen." Peter Jackson says it will be at least three years before production may start on The Hobbit. Source: AAP
Steve Martin and director Adam Shankman are back for the sequel to Cheaper by the Dozen. Production will start very soon, it's not known if the complete cast will also be back on board. Source: Variety

Diesel talks Hannibal and Riddick:
Vin Diesel talked about his pet project Hannibal again:
"We're going to have all systems go on 'Hannibal. I've been working on my shots. In fact, my storyboard artist is a guy named Sylvain Despretz, who was Ridley Scott's storyboard artist on 'Gladiator.' It's going to be exciting. Just wait for that one; it's going to all come together. I will not let you down.
I like the idea of making a movie and not being governed by all the things that govern a $200 million movie. I want to do things like make it multilingual, non-English."
This could be great. Diesel also revealed more details about another big budget epic, Riddick 2:
"Riddick? Well, you know that I've always had 'C2' planned. I'm silently - and I shouldn't even say this - I'm silently working on 'C2' with some of the outlines that were created when I first thought of doing the three films."
Sounds interesting, sure hope they'll make it R-Rated.
