Luc Besson retires?!!!:
The Professional sequel is now definitely out of the question, guys, Luc Besson has announced that Arthur and the Minimoys will be his last film.
The director made ten impressive films, including The Fifth Element and La Femme Nikita:
"They are my 10 little babies. I love them all. I am pleased to have completed this cycle. That is finished.
I want to take a little care of my fellow citizens. I want to take a little care of my planet. I want to act in favor of the inner cities, in favor of the environment. I want to do lots of things. I am trying to start a foundation. I want to help youths in the inner cities. I am very sensitive about all these youths. I find that they have incredible energy."
Come on, Luc, I still think you can find the time to make a flick or two, right?

Peter Jackson's new fantasy trilogy!:
Peter Jackson has bought the rights of the fantasy books Temeraire. The series, which include
His Majesty's Dragon, Throne of Jade and Black Powder War, was written by Naomi Novik and reimagines the world of the Napoleon wars combined with an air force of dragons.
"Temeraire is a terrific meld of two genres that I particularly love, fantasy and historical epic," Jackson said. "I can't wait to see Napoleonic battles fought with a squadron of dragons. That's what I go to the movies for."
Jackson hasn't decided yet if he's also going to direct the films.

Heath Ledger talks The Joker:
Heath Ledger will play The Joker in the Batman Begins sequel called The Dark Knight.
The actor talked a bit about the role, check this out:
"It's obviously not going to be what Jack Nicholson did. It's going to be more nuanced and dark and more along the lines of a Clockwork Orange kind of feel. Which is, I think, what the comic book was after: less about his laugh and more about his eyes.
It's definitely going to stump people. I think it'll be more along the lines of how the Joker was meant to be in the comics, darker and more sinister."
Can't wait to see what director Chris Nolan will come up with!
