Batman's next villain:
Weer een update wat betreft Chris Nolan's Batman film, Scarecrow zal de bad guy voor de opening sequence spelen. Chris Nolan, bekend van Memento, zal ongetwijfeld een ander soort Batman film maken dan zijn voorgangers Tim Burton en Joel Schumacher. Cinescape heeft het volgende op hun site geplaatst: :
"According to our source, the film's primary bad guy will remain R'as al Ghul, the immortal whose vision of a world without chaos reaches through centuries of time. But the idea is to introduce the Scarecrow early in the film to show audiences that this BATMAN movie is different than its predecessors; namely, that it's darker and scarier, and that the rogues that Batman face in Nolan's vision of Gotham City are far more dangerous than the ones seen in Joel Schumacher's BATMAN movies."
My God, this movie will absolutely rock!

McG talks Man of Steel:
Gisteren werd bekend gemaakt dat Richard Donner eventueel Superman (opnieuw) gaat regisseren maar dit gerucht is absoluut niet waar. Moviehole kreeg de kans om aan de andere Superman regisseur McG opheldering te vragen:
"And ok, so is he signed to do "Superman" or not? "I'm in conversations with Warner Brothers, but I'm not signed on to do that picture... But I'm a huge fan of Superman and we'll see. Maybe that will work out and maybe it won't. It's yet to be determined, truthfully."

Pompeii movie:
Fernando Meirelles (City of God ) gaat een film regisseren over de laatste uren van Pompeii. Clark Gregg (What Lies Beneath) heeft opdracht gekregen om het script te schrijven:
"Neither Fernando nor I are jumping out of our skin to do a traditional historical epic or disaster film. What's fascinating about Pompeii is that it was frozen in a moment in time."
Meirelles adds, "What drew me to this project is the possibility of re-creating Pompeii in the most realistic way possible. One of my goals is to take the audience into the everyday life experiences in the Mediterranean 1,924 years ago. I'm also interested in capturing the connections between the end of Roman Empire and the present day, as well as the end of a civilization."

Tom Mix and Pancho Villa movie:
Tony Scott gaat de Clifford Irving novel Tom Mix and Pancho Villa verfilmen. De film zal een budget van rond de $100 miljoen hebben, screenwriter Steve Zaillian sleutelt nog aan het script.
"This is 'Lawrence of Arabia' meets 'The Wild Bunch,' a huge film with trains, cavalry, thousands of soldiers in uniform and on horseback," Scott told Variety. "This is a love story between two men from different planets, who educated each other. Pancho Villa knew the laws of life, and Tom Mix knew how to live in a modernized Western world."

Lethal Weapon 5?!:
Regisseur Richard Donner sprak tijdens de promotie van zijn laatste avonturenfilm Timeline, over Lethal Weapon 5!:
"I have the story in my head for a fifth and final Lethal Weapon, but it's all up to Mel Gibson. It would be 24 hours in the lives of Riggs (Gibson) and Murtaugh (Danny Glover). The last couple of times I talked to Mel, it really seemed he was interested in doing one more. I really want to put the franchise to bed properly."

Frank Marshall talks Indy 4:
Producer Frank Marshall vertelt wat we kunnen verwachten van de vierde Indiana Jones film:"It's going to totally be in the style and the tone of the first three. I mean, were not going to do anything different. We're not going to try and change things or modernize things. We're going to stick to what works, and we're probably going to be in the fifties. So, we're acknowledging that we're all a bit older and that's about all I can tell you except that Frank Darabont is writing it.

The Brothers Grimm update:
Empire Magazine heeft een interessant artikel geplaatst over The Brothers Grimm, de nieuwe fantasy film van Terry Gilliam. De regisseur sprak over zijn nieuwe flick en ook over zijn Don Quichotte project dat na enkele weken filmen werd stopgezet:
"After the whole disaster with Don Quixote, I was really quite depressed. When this came along, it seemed to have all the right elements - it had fantasy, imagination, it was intelligent. And it had the money. It was strange getting back in the saddle. In the first week I was out of practice and making stupid mistakes. But we seem to be getting there now."

Guillermo del Toro projects:
Regisseur Guillermo del Toro (Blade II) sprak over zijn toekomstige projecten waaronder een remake van de classic Creature from the Black Lagoon:
"I have never been in development with this property. I just pitched a possible idea to do a Jules Verne sort of adaptation of the premise. I am now part of tha many guys that have "pitched" a CFTBL movie( Carpenter, Landis, etc) in a way I am relieved, Seeing the original with my daughter made me realize how perfect it is- Oh, Julie!"

Natalie Portman is Lois Lane?:
Interessante ontwikkeling wat betreft de nieuwe Superman film, schijnt dat Natalie Portman is benaderd voor de rol van Lois Lane. Superman V heeft meer details:
"Word reaches us that WB have more than just casting Superman on their minds. Rumour has it that one of the actresses they are looking at for Lois Lane is none other than Natalie Portman. We asked her agent about this. Have WB been in talks with her about the part? They didn't deny it: "Nothing's conclusive"... What the heck does that mean!? Has she been in talks and nothing is signed and sealed!? Or are they refusing to deny it since they don't want to totally rule out the possibility of her going up for the role."
I think Natalie would be perfect!

US Box Office Nov 14-16:
Elf veroverde de eerste plaats afgelopen weekend met $27 miljoen! Nieuwkomer Master and Commander met in de hoofdrol Russell Crowe doet het ook geweldig met een tweede plaats. The Matrix Revolutions is gezakt naar een derde plaats, da's jammer want ik vond de film fantastisch. "Bad word of mouth" heeft waarschijnlijk invloed gehad op de slechte prestatie van deze laatste Matrix film.

Here's the Top Ten:

1. Elf - $27,236,000 / $71,265,000 since opening
2. Master and Commander - $25,725,000
3. The Matrix Revolutions - $16,320,000 / $114,174,000
4. Brother Bear - $12,000,000 / $63,019,000
5. Looney Tunes: Back in Action - $9,510,000
6. Love Actually - $8,880,000 / $19,044,000
7. Scary Movie 3 - $6,105,000 / $102,339,000
8. Radio - $5,000,000 / $43,708,000
9. Tupac: Resurrection - $4,660,000 / $4,660,000
10. Mystic River - $3,325,000 / $45,649,000

Bishop talks Alien vs. Predator!!!:
Bishop himself, Lance Henirksen, sprak over zijn rol in Alien vs. Predator!:
"I don't play Bishop in this movie, I play the man who created him. He's a billionaire and is responsible for taking this expedition to Antarctica, where everything takes place. It's a pretty cool character. I can't tell you guys anything else-they made me sign not to tell. The thing is, they keep sending me new versions of [the script]. It's gonna be a very, very exciting movie-I promise you that. I hope it turns out as good as ALIENS."
