CSI's finale's plot details!:
Interesting plot info on "Grave Danger", the upcoming fifth-season CSI finale appeared on CSIfiles.com!
Here's a clip:
In the episode, main character Nick Stokes is kidnapped by someone with an apparent grudge against the CSIs. By the time he wakes up again, he's trapped in a coffin, together with his loaded handgun and a tape recorder with a message telling him it's probably best to kill himself, as he's going to die anyway. There's also a webcam in the coffin, which transmits an image back to the CSI lab...
I prefer Horatio's CSI: Miami though, but I'll definitely check out CSI's finale cause the one and only Quentin Tarantino will be directing this episode! Thanks to CSIfiles.com for the heads up!

Matthew Vaughn talks X3:
Layer Cake's Matthew Vaughn talks about his first big budget flick, X-Men 3. Here's how
he got involved:
"It was a mutual finding of each other. I heard Singer wasn't doing it, and I just told my agent that I'd be intrigued and asked "can you get me in a room?" They saw the film and really liked it. 'X-Men' has sort of taken me by surprise. One of the reasons I'm attracted to it is also the reason why I'm scared of it, is that it's such a short amount of time to get it done. I thought maybe it would be good to do it because there's a lot for me to learn if I do it. The irony is that I haven't got the luxury of casting most of these guys, which is going to be odd, especially if I don't like what they're doing, cause I'm going to have to pull them aside and tell them to ignore everything they did in the last film."
Vaughn also adds that he will make a different film than Bryan Singer's two X-Men movies. "I think Singer probably treats it in a more simplistic manner then I'm going to," he explains, "It's going to expand on things. There's three or four scenes I know people will just be shocked and close to tears.
I'm all for fans being wary of me; they've got the right to be. I'm just going to make the film as good as I can, and hopefully, they'll like it. I know that there's going to be elements I'm going to be bringing to it that will worry the fans in the sense that I want to make a movie that stands up in twenty, thirty years time basically. The film I'm doing is more in the tone of Unforgiven. I just want to make films that I think are entertaining. I like the idea of doing big budget films with a heart.

First Ghost Rider pic!!!:
The first pic of Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze a.k.a. Ghost Rider hit the web! Seems that
Cage is quite a Ghost Rider fan, according to director Mark Steven Johnson. "Most of these guys are comic-book geeks like me," Johnson says, "Nic is one of the biggest fans of the comic book out there."
Yep, he even got a tattoo of the Ghost Rider's flaming skull on his arm! "The irony is we had to remove Nic's Ghost Rider so he could play Ghost Rider," Johnson adds.

Bill Nighy talks Underworld: Evolution:
Bill Nighy who played one of the villains in Underworld will reprise his role as Viktor in the sequel, Underworld: Evolution.
Fans of the film will notice that Viktor didn't survive the first movie. "I know, but guess what - they went back in time," Bill Nighy explains, "See what I'm saying?
Very clever. So I'm now back in time, in medieval times, in full armour, up a mountain in Canada, in deepest snow, with all the guys. I think they got me back out of pity. I'm not in it a great deal.
As you remember from Underworld 1, I was just one of the elders who were having the centuries-long sleep. I'm largely back to account for the reawakening of the second elder. This is when Marcus comes to town.
The script is absolutely great. I really loved the first one and I think this one is arguably better. The story is a real cracker. And it's sexy this time. Kind of sexy and funny and really romantic, as it was last time. I'm so impressed with Len Wiseman - it's really cool."
Kate Beckinsale will be back as Selene and her husband Len Wiseman (the lucky bastard) also returns as director.

BREAKING NEWS: First pic of Superman Suit!!!:
Oh yeah, the first pic of Brandon Routh in the classic red, yellow and blue Superman suit hit the web! Director
Bryan Singer wanted to remain faithful to the previous incarnations of Superman, from the Max Fleischer cartoons to the black-and-white George Reeves TV show to the Christopher Reeve movies.
Singer decided to keep the cape, the blue body suit, the red tights and V-cut opening of the boots. "I always had the general idea of the suit," Singer said, "However, when the conceptual
art was evolving around the same time that I cast Brandon, I privately had paintings rendered with Brandon's face, which certainly brought it to life."
So what did he change? Here's a rundown:
The character's S insignia is slightly smaller and higher on his chest, and instead of being painted on, it's more of a three-dimensional plate.
The insignia is added to Superman's belt buckle.
Costume designer Louise Mingenbach preserved the blue, red and yellow motif, but the shades are slightly darker than the bright primary colors of the comics. Superman's yellow belt is more golden, and his cape is a deep scarlet.
I had to get used to the new design for just a few minutes but I really like it now! I'll be back with a big news update tomorrow, guys, have great weekend!
Updated: Check out the super-sized version in the Pic of the Week section (right top corner)!
