The Hitcher trailer:
A first peek at The Hitcher remake popped up online. The slicker new version is directed by Dave Meyers and stars Sophia Bush, Zachary Knighton, Kyle Davis, Neal McDonough and Sean Bean as The Hitcher.
I really love the original with fellow dutchman Rutger Hauer, but I'm also curious if Bean can make this character his own. Anyway, click on the pic to download the trailer, I'll be back this weekend with a new update, guys!

Baz Luhrmann's Australian epic!:
Director Baz Luhrmann finally revealed the title of his upcoming action-adventure vehicle, which is set in northern Australia before World War II.
"The name is shocking," Lurhmann said with a laugh, "It's called Australia. I'm taking the perspective of the rest of the world to this film how they might view Australia. When you say 'Casablanca' or 'Oklahoma!' it means big. It means vast... I'm not saying this film is Australia. It's a metaphor for a state of mind, for the faraway.
What people tend not to know is that more tonnage of bombs were dropped by the same attack force on Darwin as Pearl Harbor. They bombed Darwin 64 times. We were completely lied to in the south about it."
Australia stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman.

The Hobbit without Peter Jackson?:
The One Ring.net received a letter from Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh about The Hobbit project.
Are you sitting down? Here we go, New Line will hire a new director for the project. One of the main issues is the ongoing Wingnut Films' lawsuit against New Line. Here's clip;
"Several years ago, Mark Ordesky told us that New Line have rights to make not just The Hobbit but a second "LOTR prequel", covering the events leading up to those depicted in LOTR. Since then, we've always assumed that we would be asked to make The Hobbit and possibly this second film, back to back, as we did the original movies. We assumed that our lawsuit with the studio would come to a natural conclusion and we would then be free to discuss our ideas with the studio, get excited and jump on board. We've assumed that we would possibly get started on development and design next year, whilst filming The Lovely Bones. We even had a meeting planned with MGM executives to talk through our schedule.
However last week, Mark Ordesky called Ken and told him that New Line would no longer be requiring our services on the Hobbit and the LOTR 'prequel'. This was a courtesy call to let us know that the studio was now actively looking to hire another filmmaker for both projects."
Click here to read the full statement. Man, I can't imagine a Hobbit movie without Peter Jackson's involvement.

Donner talks Constantine 2!:
X-Men and Contstantine producer Lauren Shuler Donner sat down with IESB and talked about Constantine 2!
"Keanu Reeves will be back," she says, "We have been working with a team of writers to come up with a story. We are really going to go for it this time. The area that we found is great, it's really scary, it's good. It will be set outside the US, but NOT in the UK."
Francis Lawrence, director of the original, will only produce, a new director is being sought.

Rob Cohen on Rage and Fury:
Director Rob Cohen, who directed the excellent Dragon; The Bruce Lee Story, shed some light on another Bruce Lee movie, Rage and Fury. Check this out:
"The big headline is that I am NOT using clips from the film; I am creating an entirely photo-realistic Bruce Lee with new, advanced digital technlogy. Digital Domain who did "XXX" and "Stealth" with me are on it big time. We are in the vfx development stage.
This will be the first digital actor and I am very excited about the challenge. We do have the rights to Bruce's films but the lines are all I am going to use. The Lee Family is also involved with me and Dreamworks.
I am doing this to further honor Bruce. It was one thing to make "Dragon" but this will be the Man himself, alive for those of us that didn't get enough and the new generations who should know what he was all about."
