Guillermo Del Toro talks Hellboy 2!:
Guillermo Del Toro, regisseur van de spetterende Hellboy en Blade II, beantwoordde
een aantal vragen tijdens een live webchat van Empire Online.
Hij vertelde meer over zijn oudere films maar ook over een Hellboy trilogie:
"I would love to make Hellboy into a trilogy. Creatively, Mike Mignola and I know that we want to at least do that. Economically, it's the studio's decision.
I love Hellboy. I always wish on every movie that I had a couple more million quid and a week or two more. But I love the damn movie. Mike Mignola feels the same way, and I am happy to report that he is delighted enough that we are writing the story for the sequel together."
De Mexicaanse regisseur gaf ook een leuk antwoord op de vraag wie er zou winnen als Hellboy tegen Blade zou vechten:
"I don't know, but I think they would both end up with heavy amputations"

Underworld 2 update:
Producer Tom Rosenberg gaf IESB een geweldige Underworld 2 update.
"I think the real intense followers of the whole saga will really, really love the second one. It’s very intricate. It gives Selene’s history, Viktor’s history and then of course now Marcus is going to come out of the crypt. So it’s really cool. I’m excited about it.
It’s much bigger action but still, we have to keep the coolness of it and not let the action overwhelm it. I like the whole world that’s created and you have to stay within that world. I don’t want to jam mindless nonstop action at the audience and this is going to still be story driven. But we’re going to have cool sequences and some bigger action, but if you do that on a sequel, and that’s what often happens, what’s the point? This story is better. This story is more intricate and more interesting. That’s what I really like about it."
Kate Beckingsale zal weer de hoofdrol van vampire warrior Selene vertolken. Het filmen van Underworld 2 begint in november

Newsflash:
 Het is nog niet officieel maar ik ga het toch plaatsen, Millerworld vermeldt het volgende:"Well, my same good buddy has informed me that, as of last Thursday night, Mister Jim Caviezel is officially the new man of steel and what a perfect choice he is. Expect an announcement shortly. Also, this Superman Returns thing was just for the press release. The movie itself is called SUPERMAN (Reeve's was called SUPERMAN THE MOVIE) and it's starting everything from scratch. Brainiac. Krypton. Robots. Alien super-cities. There's so much we can do now that they couldn't in 78. I cannot WAIT for this." Ik denk dat Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ) een prima keuze is! I'll keep you posted.
Een leuke nieuwe trailer van Dreamworks' Shark Tale is nu online! Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Renee Zellweger, Angelina Jolie, Jack Black en Martin Scorsese zullen de stemmen verzorgen in de computeranimatiefilm.
Vince Vaughn en Owen Wilson gaan spelen in de komedie Outsourced. "The project is about an American factory that is shut down and moved to Mexico, which prompts two men from the production line to venture south of the border to get their old jobs back." Source: Variety

Cruise talks MI3 and War of the Worlds:
Tom cruise vertelde meer over Mission: Imppossible 3, de nieuwe spyflick dat enige vertraging opliep
omdat regisseur Joe Carnahan het project verliet. Tijdens Cruise's speurtocht naar een nieuwe regisseur, viel zijn
oog op Alias van J.J. Abrams. Hij maakte een paar telefoontjes, et voila, Abrams is nu de
nieuwe regisseur van de film. "It's deceiving, these kinds of movies," vertelt Cruise over MI3.
"They're very complex. It's not just action, it's not just suspense, it's not just the spy genre - it's all of that."
Maar waarom Abrams? "He's the first guy I went through the movie with who absolutely clicked in terms of being able to
discuss the intricacies of character and story and tone."
Tom Cruise onthulde ook meer over The War of the Worlds remake dat door Steven Spielberg wordt geregisseerd.
"It's going to be exciting, it's going to be really scary, and it's going to maintain the tone of H.G. Wells' book. These guys are coming to dominate Earth. But I can't get too much into it because David Koepp has already done a rewrite and Steven has been working on it and things are going to change. We're just in the dream stage. We haven't even cast it yet."

Chris Evans talks Fantastic Four!:
Chris Evans, binnenkort te zien als Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four, vertelde meer over deze
superheldenfilm:
"No, no, no. They're not going to do computer stuff with The Thing. Did you see Hellboy? It's that type of [costume]. I haven't even seen it yet. I am so excited to see it. So he's going to have the full body thing and I've heard it looks awesome. I was talking to the director's assistant the other day. He said you look at it and it looks real. You get close, you'll be like, 'It looks like rock.' I can't wait to see it. I'm so psyched.
The beauty is the Fantastic Four uniform is this form fitting blue outfit. So they make these really cool, blue almost like wetsuits, but since we all don't have the perfect bodies for these wetsuits, they gave us muscle suits. These little suits that you put on first that have rubber muscles that are actually form fitted to our bodies. They do these body casts and then they add muscle in certain places where it's needed. So you put on this muscle suit and then you put on this blue uniform and you just walk around like you're chiseled out of stone, so it's great. I'm happy."
Geweldig, de cast van Fantastic Four bestaat verder uit Michael Chiklis, Iaon Gruffudd, Jessica Alba en Julian McMahon.
Tim Story (Barbershop) regisseert de film.

Chris Nolan talks Batman!!!:
De Telegraph mocht
een kijkje nemen op de set van Batman Begins en sprak met de cast en crew.
Regisseur Chris Nolan is van plan om de Batman "back to basics" te maken, een ruige, realistische drama over de drijfveren van Bruce Wayne en zijn angstaanjagende alter ego. "This Batman is grounded in reality," vertelde Chris, "He has no super-powers; all he has is his wealth, which he uses to obtain the technology he needs to do what he has to do. Batman is one of the great figures of pop culture, but there has to be a good reason for making this film. I wanted to make Batman more like a creature, more like a beast, than a human being. I didn't want him to be just a funny bloke in a fancy-dress costume. You're either going to look like a complete fool or you're going to look like a bad-ass. So you have to look like a bad-ass."
"This Batman remains in the shadows and is fuelled by a great deal of rage," vertelde Christian Bale die de rol van de Caped Crusader vertolkt, "He has tremendous anger. He's not a knight in shining armour, because of his personal need for revenge."
Het verhaal is geschreven door David Goyer, de cast bestaat uit Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson en Ken Watanabe!

Newsflash:
Regisseur Charles Stone III (Mr. 3000) sprak over zijn nieuwste film Tekken, inderdaad, gebaseerd op de populaire videogame. "It will not be anything like Mortal Kombat or any of the Lara Croft movies. You will get the feeling of Bruce Lee's Enter The Dragon. I want the audience to get to know the characters, so when they have to battle each other it will be more dramatic. Both Jet Li and Jackie Chan have been loosely attached to the film but we're now thinking of starting clean. It will have plenty of 'A' list actors." Source: IESB
Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation) gaat met Ewan McGregor in Michael Bay's sci-fi thriller The Island spelen. Source: The Hollywood Reporter
David Schimmer (Friends) maakt met de independent romantische komedie Run, Fat Boy, Run zijn regiedebuut. Schwimmer heeft overigens wel een aantal episodes van Friends geregisseerd. Source: The Hollywood Reporter
Regisseur Brett Ratner krijgt het druk, zijn nieuwste project wordt de gokfilm Breaking Vegas, dat tevens geproduceerd wordt door Kevin Spacey. Ratner heeft net zijn film After the Sunset afgerond, daarna gaat hij beginnen aan Josiah's Canon en waarschijnlijk ligt er ook nog een Rush Hour 3 in de planning. Source: Variety

Clerks 2?!:
It's official, Kevin Smith gaat een vervolg maken op zijn klassieker uit 1994, Clerks. Het vervolg
pakt de draad tien jaar later weer op, "It's about what happens when that lazy, 20-something malaise lasts into your 30s," vertelt Smith. "Those dudes are kind of still mired, not in that same exact situation, but in a place where it's time to actually grow up and do something more than just sit around and dissect pop culture and talk about sex. It's: What happened to these dudes?"

Cool Rush Hour 3 update:
Steven Seagal is misschien binnenkort weer op het grote doek te zien. Hij werd gevraagd voor de rol van villain in Rush Hour 3! "Jackie and I have talked about Rush Hour 3," vertelde Seagal in een gesprek met The Sun, "I'd be playing the villain. We've long looked for something to work on together and this could be it. Jackie is someone I have admired for many years. I shudder to think who would win in the on-screen fights, but that'll keep it interesting for the viewer. I hope it happens. If the scripts good, then I'll definitely be interested."
Andere sites vermelden echter dat de film gebukt gaat onder hevige budget problemen. Hoofdrolspelers eisen een
behoorlijk hoge salaris en een groot percentage van de winst. Het kan dus nog wel even duren voordat ze aan de productie van Rush Hour 3
beginnen.
