News Flash:
It's been a rough week, everybody here in Holland is being knocked down be a nasty flu, me included, but still
got some strength left to update my website. Lots of great movie headlines today and I've posted the most
interesting ones just for you. Have a great weekend, guys:
 Director John Pasquin (Jungle 2 Jungle, Joe Somebody) will helm Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality 2 for WB. Source: The Hollywood Reporter
An anonymous Cinescape source has got the new title for the Pirates sequel: "Pirates of the Caribbean: Treasures of the Lost Abyss." Sounds like a new James Cameron documentary to me.
Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later) will play one of Batman's villains in the upcoming Chris Nolan movie. Which one is not clear 'cause Alfred himself, Michael Caine, told Sci-fi Wire that Lord of the Rings star Viggo Mortensen is also up for a villain role in Batman! Cool, I'll keep you posted!
Coming Soon posted a bunch of amazing shots for upcoming animated features including Shrek 2, Shark Tale, Madagascar and Over The Edge. Click on the wooden dude and three pigs (sounds like the beginning of a bad joke) to check it out.

Affleck not ready for Daredevil 2?:
Ben Affleck is not interested in doing another Daredevil movie:
"I don't know about Daredevil II. That may be too much work for me. I don't have any idea. I suppose that if Kevin Smith wrote it and was going to be involved, I would do it. But I'm not banging down the door trying to get Daredevil 2 made. You'll know when my career is really on the slide when I start resurrecting the franchise".

Sean Penn will star opposite Nicole Kidman in Sydney Pollack's political thriller The Interpreter. Kidman will play a U.N. interpreter who overhears a conversation involving an assassination that could topple a government.
Jerry Seinfeld will write, produce and star in Dreamworks' computer animated feature Bee Movie. Dreamworks' Jerry Katzenberg
made the announcement today: "Jerry Seinfeld is one of the most brilliant and unique comic minds of our time. It has been a dream of mine for over 10 years to be in business with him, and during that time, I have been willing to put myself in any number of potentially humiliating situations in order to demonstrate my unflagging appreciation of his talent. We were delighted when he came to us with his wonderfully funny concept for an animated feature and even more thrilled to be the studio that will bring Jerry Seinfeld's comedy to the big screen."

Steve Martin talks Pink Panther:
Steve Martin talked to Moviehole about his Pink Panther
movie and all the true or false gossips:
"There are lots of rumours and all untrue", confessed Martin in a Los Angeles hotel room over the weekend. "Jackie Chan has not been approached to do the film, nor has John Cleese, so I don't know where these are coming from," an upbeat and talkative Martin said. "I've just re-written the script and I hope we can start filming in May." Martin admitted that he would playing the legendary Clouseau "in an outrageous French accent," shoot part of the film in Paris and would offer a contemporary take on the character."
There you go, too bad Jackie Chan isn't involved.

The Rock talks!:
Arnie and Sly's replacement The Rock talked to Moviehole
about his upcoming movies, Schwarzenegger, Terminator 4 and Predator:
Moviehole: You're being labelled 'The new Schwarzenegger' how does that make you feel?
The Rock: Cool. It's very cool. They're such big shoes to fill though; I don't think I could ever replace him. He's been ultra successful, and he's such a smart guy - of course, he's now governor as well! But it's a cool thing for people to say.
Moviehole: They're talking about you as someone that might replace Arnold for "The Terminator 4" or "Predator 3". Would you be interested?
The Rock: I've heard that a lot actually. I don't know. Thing is, Arnold has put so much into those roles. They're his roles. I liked "Terminator 3" but I loved the first two movies, and "Predator", the first one, is just fantastic.
Moviehole: You got to do a bit of comedy in "Welcome to the Jungle". Was that fun?
The Rock: Sure. That was a lot of fun. I always wanted to do an action movie that also had comedy in it, like "Lethal Weapon" or "Midnight Run". My Next movie is an even broader comedy role; I'm doing the sequel to "Get Shorty". We start in February.
Moviehole: So not an action role then?
The Rock: No, purely a comedy role. What I'd like to do in my acting career is diversify myself, learn as much as I can about the process as possible. "Be Cool" is going to be great, it's John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Vince Vaughn…we've got this huge cast. And get this: I play a bodyguard who wants to break into Hollywood, who can sing, and he's gay! [Laughs]
