Sin City update!:
New names were added to the cast of Robert Rodriguez' and Frank Miller's Sin City! Clive Owen and Benicio Del
Toro will join Brittany Murphy, Bruce Willis, Josh Hartnett, Mickey Rourke, Nick Stahl, Jessica Alba, Elijah Wood, Carla Gugino, Jaime King and Marley Shelton
in the film noir based on Miller's comic.
The first set pic appeared on ET Online, the film
is being shot entirely with green screens, the background will be added later. "This is the first time a graphic novel will be treated with absolute
respect in how it is brought to life," says Rodriguez, "If you look at Miller's books, you see that in a way they are already the best written, shot
and directed 'movies' never seen in a theater." You can watch a behind the scenes clip right here!
I love the work of Frank Miller, he inspired me to make my own comics and paintings (check out the movie art
section). I can't wait to see how Rodriguez will bring it to the big screen.

Vin Diesel talks Riddick!:
Vin Diesel talked about his upcoming scifi epic The Chronicles of Riddick:
"I always knew that I wanted to explore the Riddick character and realized that the most exciting thing to do would be to explore the universe around Riddick, Diesel enthuses. We know who Riddick is he doesnt promise to save anybody, he has a lack of identity due to the fact he was never raised in a conventional way. He has abandonment issues and he just wants to be left alone. I love the idea of a guy who potentially could be so heroic, but because of his experiences and his outlook on life, isnt A: aware of what heroism is and B: probably isnt aware of anything outside of basic survival. Its often said on set, what makes this all the more challenging is that were not just making a movie were making a universe. Post-World War II, we had Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings as our mythology to buy into and then, in the Seventies, we had Star Wars. Our concept was to create a mythology that would take three films to explain, three films to adventure in, and a story that would take three films to tell."

The Sun Newspaper claims they have the title for Star Wars Episode III: Birth Of The Empire.
Dreamwork's Jerry Katzenberg talked about more Shrek sequels: "Before the first one was finished we talked about what the whole story of Shrek is, and each of the chapters answers questions about the first movie and gives us an insight. Shrek 3 and 4 are going to reveal other unanswered questions and, finally, in the last chapter, we will understand how Shrek came to be in that swamp, when we meet him in the first movie. There is a reason he came to be there, but there is another chapter to the story before that." Source: Dark Horizons
The new trailer for Antoine Fuqua's King Arthur is now online.
