Newsflash:
Hi guys, below the latest movie developments, I'll be back this weekend with a new update!:
 Breck Eisner (Sahara) will direct a remake of the 1954 classic monster flick Creature From the Black Lagoon. "I've always been a fan of the original," Eisner said, "But for this I would love to just update and modernize the film. We see it as an aggressive sci-fi horror film in the vein of an Alien or like John Carpenter's The Thing. We want to elevate the source material." Source: Hollywood Reporter
New actors will join Ray Romano, Denis Leary and John Leguizamo in Ice Age 2: The Meltdown. Queen Latifah, Seann William Scott, Josh Peck and Jay Leno will voice the new creatures of the film. Source: USA Today

Martin Campbell talks Casino Royale:
Latino Review caught up with Casino Royale helmer Martin Campbell who answered some questions about the new 007 flick.
Here's a clip:
"Well the reason I'm doing Bond is because it's the first book, Casino Royale is the first book. What's interesting about this is Bond when he's starting out. He's just got his 00's stripes and he's not the perfect Bond at all. I mean he makes mistakes, he's a little raw, he's a little arrogant, he's a bit of a loose cannon, but by the end of the movie of course he becomes the perfect machine Bond that we know.
The truth is that I think with the style of movie that Pierce, his last one for example, I think with the gadgets, the invincible car, the huge sort of ice palaces, the kind of water skiing off or should I say snow boarding...I mean I just thought it got preposterous and then finally the 747 going down in a massive amount of flames that goes on forever. I think they got to a point where you couldn't go any more than that. It was getting too ridiculous.
This time we definitely wanted to go back to more realistic Bond. More like From Russia With Love, more kind of creditable if you will and that's the directive and that's why we've cast Daniel Craig. I think it definitely needs a change in direction."

Transformers talk:
Writing duo Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman talked about their live action Transformers movie!
Michael Bay will direct, here's what the guys had to say:
"We are working with Michael very closely right now on the movie and so far everyone is really happy with what we're doing so knock on wood.
Its a really great group, everyone loves the franchise, loves the universe, we want to make a great movie.
We are handling everything like a Supreme Court. We are taking everything in from the fans and taking it under judicial review. Treating every decision like it's law. I don't know how we can do it without making Megatron a tank...that's probably how where we're going to end up."

The film about sled dogs is based on a true story and stars Paul Walker. Though it's got Lassie written all over it, the trailer
looks pretty amazing. Check it out by clicking on the pic.

And the new Bond is...:
It's official, dudes... but not a surprise, the new James Bond is Daniel Craig! The actor did some solid work on Layer Cake and Road to Perdition, looking forward
to see him as 007 in Casino Royale.
"It has been a long time ambition for us to film the first book in the series, Casino Royale, which defined the complex character of James Bond," producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said, "We are thrilled Daniel Craig will play the character of 007. Daniel is a superb actor who has all the qualities needed to bring a contemporary edge to the role. Casino Royale will have all the action, suspense and espionage that our audiences have come to expect from us but nevertheless takes the franchise in a new and exciting direction."
The first official pic was also released during the announcement. Here's Daniel Craig as James Bond!

Howard Shore leaves King Kong:
Some disturbing news, Lord of the Rings composer Howard Shore who worked on Peter Jackson's King Kong is now being replaced by James Newton Howard.
Here's what Peter Jackson said:
"I have greatly enjoyed my collaborations with Howard Shore, whose musical themes made immeasurable contributions to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. During the last few weeks, Howard and I came to realize that we had differing creative aspirations for the score of King Kong. Rather than waste time arguing with a friend and trying to unify our points of view, we decided amicably to let another composer score the film. I'm looking forward to working with James Newton Howard, a composer whose work I've long admired, and I thank Howard Shore, whose talent is surpassed only by his graciousness."
Too bad, but I also love James Newton Howard who scored Signs, The Village and Batman Begins.
