Rutger Hauer talks Batman:
Rutger Hauer talked about Batman Begins on his official site.
Here's what he had to say about meeting Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson and Michael Caine:
"I was going to work today with Morgan Freeman who I think is one of the best colleagues to have, ever. Never met him. So the moment he arrived I grabbed and hugged him telling him what a pleasure I thought it was. He agreed. I had met Liam Neeson earlier on the day I had arrived a few weeks ago just before going into my first meeting with the director and getting the part. As I walked through the hotel corridor I literally bumped into him as he came out the door .I said, 'Hi Liam. Nice to meet you'. He said' yes, same here'. And I said we may be working together. He said. Great. Nice. Lovely.
Michael Caine knocked on the door of my trailer and stepped in. We embraced furiously and he was just as happy to see me as I was to see him. We worked in Kenya in pffft '75. What a nice man he is. Told him I was happy for him in the gem of a role he's playing. So it was a great heart warming day."

Sky Captain delayed...:
Paramount announced that Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow will be taken out of the summer
movie season. The action-adventure flick will now be released in September so there's more time to complete
the special effects (and it doesn't have to compete with Spider-man 2). Click on the pic to check out some new
amazing photos!

Sin City update:
Dark Horizons received more news
about Robert Rodriguez' Sin City:
"Rodriguez plans on shooting Bruce Willis' sequences in black-and-white in order to pay tribute to Miller's B&W Sin City art, which is itself a homage to the dramatic visuals of the great Hollywood film noir movies of the 1940s and 50s (Criss Cross, The Asphalt Jungle, The Killing, Touch of Evil). Rodriguez does plan to shoot some sequences in color, but his choice to film even part of Sin City in black-and-white is courageous to say the least, and testifies to the control he must have over this highly intriguing project."
Sounds great!

Paul W.S. Anderson talks AVP:
Spawn.com posted some great pics for their Alien vs Predator
action figures and director Paul W.S. Anderson talked about the flick:
"I had the idea for this movie nine years ago," claims Anderson. "And being able to make a movie that I have thought about for that long is really a dream come true. At the same time, trying to follow in the footsteps of some of the best filmmakers in the world is incredibly intimidating and kept me awake on many nights. I consider Scott's and Cameron's movies to be masterpieces.
There are a number of innovations in AvP. The Alien Queen, for example, is the most sophisticated animatronic ever put on screen. It's got double the points of articulation of T-Rex that was built for Jurassic Park. So, in terms of what it can do, how it can perform, it's a massive leap forward from what James Cameron was doing with two stuntmen in the Alien Queen suit operating the arms. That was a puppeteered marionette and this is really state of the art. It's as good as you can get."
Can't wait to see this movie!

Ocean's 12 in Amsterdam!:
Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts will visit Amsterdam to shoot a scene for Ocean's 12 in one
of our famous "coffeeshops"! Officials will not reveal when the crew will arrive to shoot the sequence. The cast
and crew, including Steven Soderbergh, George Clooney, Matt Damon and Andy Garcia, are all back on board for
this sequel to the heist flick Ocean's 11. One of the story lines revolved around the
stealing of Rembrandt's masterpiece "De Nachtwacht" but they've changed that scene because filming wasn't
possible due to renovation work on our National Museum. Ocean's 12 will now focus on stealing a very rare 17th
century document of the V.O.C. (Dutch United East India Company).

Vega Brothers update!:
Michael Madsen talked to Filmforce about Tarantino's
Vega Brothers project. Tarantino says he still wants to make the flick with Madsen and John Travolta.
Here's what Michael Madsen had to say:
"As far as I know, he told me that he wants to make the picture. He was planning to make it for a long time, but as time went by, John Travolta physically changed, and I physically changed, and we don't look the same as we did when were doing Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. So he decided it would be kind of impossible to make the film. But right after saying that, he went off to Mexico for a couple of days, and I'm not sure what he did down there, but when he came back… [Laughs] I was at a hotel in San Diego, and he called me on the phone, and he said, 'I think I figured out how to make The Vega Brothers.' And I said, 'Really?' And he goes, 'Yeah, listen to this.' And he pretty much told me a plot of the film in about 20 minutes. I couldn't repeat it to you because it's really confusing. But it did make sense. I think it's just gonna be a matter of getting the screenplay finished and actually getting up to shoot it because I think we're gonna do this World War II thing first."

Man of Steel update:
The guys over at Superman V, received some more
info about the costume department that's working on the Man of Steel suit:
"Sources within the industry have told us that the costume-department has already made some preliminary costumes. A part of that team performed costume tests, several months ago. Before the production stalled in January, Kym Barrett and recently departed Duncan Henderson, held talks with some (top) pre-production facilities to come on board the project. Nothing has come of this so far, mainly because of the uncertainty surrounding the project. Even people who have worked on the project aren't sure what's going to happen. But they're eager to return IF and when the project starts back up in the next few months. Which still carries the working (and rather ironic) title 'Fly By' and is targetting a 2006 release."
