Brothers Grimm Storyline:
Director Terry Gilliam is shooting the fantasy flick The Brothers Grimm in Prague at the moment and Fangoria posted an official synopsis: "Brothers Grimm is a dark fantasy about the two "Brothers Grimm" who travel around the Napoleonic countryside vanquishing fake monsters and demons in exchange for cash. When the French government figures out what they're up to, they force the brothers to deal with the real thing, a number of murders being committed under mysterious circumstances in the northern woods between Germany and France. It is there that they have to try and discover what's really happening and deal with it before more people are killed or their lack of success leads to the guillotine."

Some questions of the journey of Neo as The One are answered. And lots of surprises."

Ghost Rider update:
UGO got the chance to talk to director Mark Steven Johnson (Daredevil) who's prepping Ghost Rider!: UGO: How's Ghost Rider coming along?
MSJ: Awesome. I'm sitting at my screen right now. I'm turning in the draft in a few weeks and I hope to be shooting in the fall.
UGO: Is Nic Cage locked?
MSJ: Right now, Nic is attached. He's a huge fan, with a huge Ghost Rider tattoo on his left shoulder. That's how serious he is.
UGO: Do you see it as Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch?
MSJ: Johnny Blaze stuntman stuff. I want to take all the stuff from the original and update it. If Evel Knievel was around today, with all his charisma, he'd probably be amazing. He'd be like king of the X-Games and bigger than Tony Hawk. I thought I would do it the way the comics did it.
UGO: But will the look be the Javier Saltares/Mark Texiera one from the '90s?
MSJ: Yeah, that's the one I love. I always liked Johnny Blaze more than Danny Ketch, because I liked that cowboy southwest vibe. But the look was much better later in the Howard Mackie storylines with villains like the [Marvel] Scarecrow.
