Newsflash - updated:
 Superhero Hype heeft een mooi foto gevonden van een ontwerp voor The Fantastic Four's The Thing! Het beeldje is gemaakt door de art department van de productie, Barbershop's Tim Story zal de comic based film regisseren. Het is nog niet bekend wie in de film zal gaan spelen.
Updated: Het beeldje schijnt door een andere spfx department gemaakt te zijn, ver voordat de productie van The Fantasic Four van start ging... maar dat maakt niet uit, want het beeldje ziet er gewoon fantastisch uit!

Tobey talks Spidey work out:
Tobey Maguire liet weten dat hij behoorlijk hard moest trainen voor zijn rol in Spider-man 2!:
"I go on a diet where I'm on my diet six days a week and I give myself a free day on the seventh day. The same goes with my workouts. My workouts vary pretty greatly and I spend anywhere between two and four hours in the gym per day, six days a week. A combination of strength training and cardiovascular stuff as well as stretching stuff and whatever else I feel like doing."
Tobey kreeg ook hulp met de karakteristieke Spider-man houdingen:
"Chris Daniels, one of our stunt guys, is one of the guys who was appointed to study all the poses of Spider-Man, I'm also familiar with Spider-Man's poses and movements and what not. I'm free to do whatever I want and Sam will say 'No, not quite or try this' or 'try something different.' If I'm at a loss I'll say 'Hey Chris, what do you think of this' or 'give me an idea.' It's a collaborative effort."

Upcoming Agent Smith projects:
Moviehole sprak met Hugo "Agent Smith" Weaving
over zijn toekomstige films:
"First up, he'll play a - polar opposite to his "Matrix" persona - swagging hero in a new Jackie Chan vehicle called The Myth. An adventure film in the vein of "Indiana Jones", the film sees Chan playing an archeologist-for-hire (in that he's enlisted by every company and their dog the moment they want something recovered) who is enlisted to track down the Tomb of the Chin Dynasty.
Next, Weaving has a role in Little Fish, Rowan Wood's new film about a troubled woman in Sydney's little Saigon district. Martin Henderson and Cate Blanchett will co-star."
Smith and Jackie Chan, how cool is that!

Batman Begins update!!!:
Wooohoooo, eindelijk weer een nieuwe foto van The Caped Crusader! Newsweek mocht
de set bezoeken van Chris Nolan's Batman Begins. Here are some clips:
"Batman is an absolutely iconic character, one of the great figures in pop culture, really," says Nolan. "But there has to be a reason for making this film as opposed to just renting Tim Burton's version."
As exhaustively as the "Batman" legend has been told on film and TV, one chapter has never received comprehensive treatment: the first one. As a boy, Bruce Wayne sees his parents murdered before his eyes and dedicates his life to avenging them. But how, and why, does he become Batman? Where do the suit and cape come from? (Burton's film glossed over these questions.) Or, as Nolan puts it, "How did this guy who has no superpowers acquire all of these capabilities? He lives in the real world—it's sort of New York on steroids, but it's our world." Nolan pored over 65 years of comics and came up with this story: after a long exile, Wayne, now a 25-year-old scion, returns to Gotham City intent on kicking criminal butt. His family's military subcontracting business, Wayne Enterprises, has been seized by shareholders, who've relegated the company's most ambitious designs—and their inventor, Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman)—to the scrapheap. Wayne befriends Fox, using his designs to create an alter ego. And not a moment too soon because, naturally, there's a villain on the loose named the Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy of "28 Days Later"), who's hellbent on poisoning all of Gotham.
In the movie, the suit is translucent at first: it's a futuristic military design complete with body armor and muscle-recovery devices. Wayne sprays it black to camouflage it. "Chris wanted a serious, matte finish—not shiny or gloopy," says costume designer Lindy Hemming. "We didn't want to depart from the classic silhouette, but we also didn't want to go too much in the homoerotic direction."

Joe Carnahan talks M:I3:
Narc regisseur Joe Carnahan sprak met Premiere Magazine over Mission: Impossible 3. Zijn
missie is om het tweede vervolg realistisch en ruig te maken maar de film zal uiteraard ook de spanning
en actie van de vorige delen bevatten.
"Joe's very bright," vertelde Tom Cruise, "he has endless energy, and he's not afraid to attack a situation and learn as much as he can about it. He's definitely not daunted by it."

Star Wars Episode III opening sequence:
Lucasfilm onthulde dat Star Wars Episode III zal openen met een gigantische space battle,
hieronder een beschrijving van de scène:
Star Wars: Episode III starts with a bang. The starfleets of the Galactic Republic and Confederacy
of Independent Systems are locked in a jumbled brawl of lumbering capital ships and swift starfighters, exchanging fire high
in the Coruscant atmosphere.
Hundreds upon hundreds of ships are engaged in this high-stakes battle of the Clone Wars, but the audience will
only really follow two small snubfighters into the thick of battle. As Obi-Wan and Anakin dive into the heart of
the conflict to carry out a most important mission, they'll be the camera's guide through the chaos.
Volgens mij wordt het net zo'n openingsscène als in Saving Private Ryan, fantastisch!

Andy Serkis in King Kong:
Andy "Gollum" Serkis zal de motion capture referentie zijn van King Kong. Serkis was
ook de man achter de CGI Gollum in de The Lord of the Rings films. Peter Jackson regisseert de King Kong remake
en vertelt over zijn samenwerking met Andy Serkis:
"I expect this time round will be a very different experience for both Andy and myself as we'll actually get to shoot extended drama sequences together. It will be a little weird seeing Andy out of his Gollum gimp suit -- and I hope we can both make the adjustment!
While Andy will provide very valuable onset reference, this doesn't mean we will be softening Kong by attempting to humanize him. The power of the story lies in the fact that this is a savage beast from a hostile environment, and we don't intend to compromise that."

Wolfgang Petersen directs Bullitt:
Troy regisseur Wolfgang Petersen gaat een remake maken van Bullitt. Steve McQueen
speelde de hoofdrol in de originele versie, Petersen verklaart wat hij onder een remake verstaat:
"Bullitt is not about remaking a film or repeating a plot, it is about reviving a great character. Frank Bullitt is a cool, no-nonsense man who doesn't compromise. Bullitt walks his own path and his pursuit of the truth is unrelenting."

Jackie Chan talks Around the World in 80 Days:
Mijn idool, Jackie Chan, sprak met About.com
over zijn nieuwste actie-komedie Around the World in 80 Days . Jackie vertelde meer over Schwarzenegger,
zijn leeftijd in combinatie met stunts, en zijn toekomstige projecten:
What was it like for you to work with Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Arnold, I've been trying to work on a movie with him so long. We've been looking for the script. Stallone, same, but we haven't found a script yet.
Then I know him by Planet Hollywood, we are partners in Hong Kong. He's very professional. He comes, sits down, look at the script, changes some dialogue. "I want to do this, I do that." I just watched him. Oh, he's not so tough. He's a very lovable person. He talks to and makes fun of everybody. Most of the time, strange, he'd sit on the side playing chess. Very quiet person.
Do you think about slowing down as you're aging?
The good thing is I always choreograph myself. I know how far I can go and there are so many tricks to help me. Right now, I probably cannot do the jumping turning kick. But what can I do? Okay, then I will design [it so that] you push me. You push me back, I throw the things, then I can take two steps and do the jumping kick. But you don't know on the screen. Yeah, you push me, then I run and do the jumping kick. Same thing, not like the old days. Boom, I do the turning kick again. I can use the tricks to help myself two more steps or three more steps. Like go out the window. In the old days, I can stand, boom, I'll do a summersault. Now I have to run. Then what can I do? Then I might use Chris Tucker, "Jackie don't." Pull me back. I say, "No, I gotta go." Then I would never let audiences see I look, I back up. That looks me stupid. I have to do something. If nobody push me, I look, I push back. I take a chair, bam, I still can run. I use those kinds of things to make myself still can do a lot of action things but I love action.
Were you supposed to do Pink Panther?
What happened with that? I don't know. In Hollywood, there are so many- - it's not rumors, there are meetings. Meeting and how to combine everything. Okay, for example, Did you agree to do Cato? Yes. I love Steve Martin. I think he's a wonderful genius. Okay, then they ask Steve Martin, yes, then we talk. Then the meetings stop. Then Green Hornet? Yes. I'll do Green Hornet. Then two years later. Then Rush Hour, let's do it. Yes, go.
So, you always say you don't like Rush Hour, but you're doing Rush Hour 3?
I don't like them, but the audience likes it. Yeah, I have to do like Rush Hour 3 [after] Around the World in 80 Days. See the difference. That's a more serious, a little bit serious, but this one is totally for a family movie. Then I go back to Hong Kong. Okay, I make New Police Story, heavy drama, very heavy. Waaah, like this. Then I turn into The Myth. The Myth is more like Indiana Jones. Not very technology. It's like an old fashioned story.
