Superman update:
Screenplaywriter Dan Harris (X2) talks about the Superman production and writing the script:
"We're shooting in March, but we're there this early because it's such a big build. You know, I mean, everything's being built. The director, Bryan Singer, works with writers there all the time, start to finish, post production, all that, and so, because they built so much art department stuff, the art department has to be there, and because [Bryan] has to be there, we have to be there.
we're on our third draft right now and we've done, I mean, you know, the requisite first draft, [then] chop off ten to fifteen pages, you know? It's too expensive, it's always too expensive. But it's being molded and kind of shifted and coming along really quickly, so any work that we're doing now, it's going to, by the next chapter, turn into really minor tweaking and just getting in there and making scenes better, as opposed to X-Men, where we did about 28 drafts, and halfway through those 28 drafts, we were still rewriting the whole movie every time. It was still, like, major shifts in story. Not this time around, this time around it's pretty much there."
Superman is scheduled for a Summer 2006 release. Bryan Singer directs and Brandon Routh will play the new Superman/Clark Kent.

Charlize Theron talks Aeon Flux:
My future wife, Charlize Theron, talks about her upcoming sci-fi Aeon Flux. It's the first time in her career that she's doing this kind of film:
"I don't want to go and just keep doing the same thing, you know? I think that challenge is always good. I knew nothing really about the genre. And just in that, that was enough of a challenge for me to work with a filmmaker that I really wanted to work with and I thought was a really interesting choice for this genre. Those were all elements that were really important to me. So, you know, it's odd, but that's good, I think.
It's not a genre that I'm familiar with. So the element that really attracted me is the fact that at end of the day, it's bottom line a love story. It's a human story, and the struggles and the things that this so-called futuristic story takes place in had all the elements of human struggle that I'm really interested in, you know? I'm not interested in playing a robot. These are real people struggling with things that I think a lot of people can relate to."

Is Indy 4 still going strong? Well, it is according to Harrison Ford:"No doubt about it!"

Beowulf update:
Gerard Butler (Phantom of the Opera) talks about his leading role in the medieval adventure Beowulf & Grendel. The film is based on the epic poem about a Norse warrior Beowulf versus Grendel, a deadly troll. Here's what Butler had to say:
"I think it's going to be like nothing you've ever really seen before. This movie has probably the most un-formulaic script I've ever read, especially coming from America, and that's what grabbed me about it. From the first word, from the first description of the characters I realized that I was reading something very different. I had to read it twice before I really got it, but when I got it I could see just what a powerful thing this could be as a film. And I got to be so closely involved in it. I got to sit down with the director and we talked about his visions of Bergman and Kurasawa, and we talked about going widescreen on the Icelandic landscape.
It's this Viking story which is based on a fable, but in actual fact we've gone back and said, 'Just imagine that there was a troll,' and we're saying, 'Imagine this troll isn't really a monster, but just another form of human.' He's like a Neanderthal man, more like a primate. So, there's just really good meat on the bones. And Beowulf is a hero. It's like the original hero story, but with a twist."
