Newsflash:
Quicktime version of the Rumor Has It trailer is now available. The romantic comedy is directed by Rob Reiner and stars Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine and Mark Ruffalo. Click here for the trailer.
Sahara director Breck Eisner talked about the sequel: "Well, yes, we sure hope to be doing one and I think a lot of that depends on actually how we do on DVD. You know, we've done well box office and we want to continue to do well on DVD. And if all things do go well, because it's an expensive movie, then we will do another one. There are 18 books so we have a lot of source material to pull from."
Matthew McConaughey, Penelope Cruz and Steve Zahn will be back for the sequel if the project takes off. I found the Sahara movie a bit mediocre but I'm ready to give Eisner another shot! Source: About.com

Chandrasekhar talks Dukes of Hazzard:
Director Jay Chandrasekhar, part of the Broken Lizard comedy gang, talked about his remake of The Dukes of Hazzard. Here's what
inspired him to make the film:
When we made "Super Troopers," we wanted to make a movie that had a certain feeling like "Smokey and the Bandit" did. I mean, when I first saw it, I remember counting the swear words and I was just totally blown away by how exciting it was with that flying car. "Super Troopers" was somewhat inspired by "Smokey and the Bandit" and then "The Dukes of Hazzard" TV show was dramatically inspired by "Smokey and the Bandit," not only the stunt style, but Burt Reynolds' name in the movie is Bo and Boss Hogg is Jackie Gleason and there's a dog. Sally Fields has little short shorts on. There are a million corollaries. And then there's that original movie "MoonRunners," which is really two cousins running moonshine. There's an Uncle Jesse, there's a Waylon Jennings doing voiceover. I wanted this movie to feel like those movies, so to say it should feel like "Super Troopers" is a mistake. It should feel like "Smokey and the Bandit."
That's awesome, I love the ol' Burt Reynolds movies, can't wait to see this film. Click here for the full interview!

Fantastic Four sequel talk:
The cast of Fantastic Four are all interested in doing a sequel. They talked about what they would like to see in the new film:
Michael Chiklis (Thing): "I'd like to see them move onto the business of being superheroes and facing different arch-villains."
Chris Evans (Human Torch): "More villains and more action. It takes us a while to get used to our powers. We're clumsy, we're testing them out, we're getting used to them, trying to get comfortable in our own skin. The second one, we could really start exploring how cool these powers actually are."
Ioan Gruffudd (Mr. Fantastic): "I'd like to see them in their own environment, as in walking around New York City, using these special powers in everyday life. More of those elements of it. We touched upon that in the movie, for example, Reed Richards walking down the street and he can't quite see where he's going and he stretches up and has a look over the crowd or he's able to hail a cab and get there before anyone else. Just fun little elements like that."
That's great! I'm ready for another Fantastic Four flick and I'd like to see more of Jessica Alba in lingerie. Thanks to the okay Box Office results, a sequel is on its way!
