I saw
Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night, and I
thought it was pretty great. When the Apatow
group pour their full effort into something it
always seems to turn out brilliant. Definitely
make time to go see it!
Here's that crazy cool weekly update that you've
been waiting for.. Read on.

The Rundown -
Rumors are
swirling that Warners Bros. has canceled production on
George Miller's Justice League and McG's
Terminator. The studio has yet to make any
official comment, so who knows for sure what the deal
is.
Emma Watson is all set to do something not Harry
Potter-related with the film Napoleon And Betsy.
She will replace Scarlett Johansson in the starring
role, which will follow a girl who follows in love with
Napoleon during his exile on St. Helena.
The new X-Files film will apparently be called
X-Files: I Want To Believe, and it will deal with
Mulder and Scully being called out of retirement to help
solve a mystery surrounding a bunch of abducted women.
Guillermo Del Toro recently noted that within a week he
expects to get official word on whether or not the
Hobbit movie will be happening. Keep your
fingers crossed.
The second entry in the series hasn't even been released
yet and Disney has already begun pre-production on the
third, The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The
Dawn Treader. As of now the release date is
May 7, 2010.
Sigourney Weaver has cited the recent Alien Vs
Predator crapfests as the reason she won't be
revisiting the character of Ripley again. She
doesn't think anything else can be done with the Alien
creatures.
Paramount has given M. Night Shyamalan's Avatar: The
Last Airbender a release date of July 2, 2010.
Night will produce and direct a script that he wrote
based on the popular animated series.
Word has it that the full Incredible Hulk trailer
that will be seen in front of Iron Man will in
fact confirm a crossover cameo by Tony Stark.
Zack Synder has signed on to direct Guardians Of
Ga'hoole. The animated film will follow a
group of barn owls who have to defend their home from
those who might destroy it.
Val Kilmer, Sharon Stone, Dylan McDermott, Brian Presley
and 50 Cent have joined the cast of Streets Of Blood,
which will deal with police officers trying to cope with
crime in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Harrison Ford has apparently said that he wouldn't mind
doing another Indiana Jones flick. Though, some
think this is just a way of diverting people's attention
away from rumors that he dies in the fourth entry.
Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Henry Winkler have signed
on to appear in the animated comedy Sit Down, Shut Up.
The plot will center around staff members at a high
school who are too pre-occupied with their own needs to
pay any attention to students.
