I'm
hoping to catch screenings of Pineapple Express
and Tropic Thunder this week, so keep an eye
out for reviews of both.
Alright, here's the update. Read on.

The Rundown -
Word has it
that a Green Lantern movie is actually in development
over at Warner Bros.
Disney has delayed the Prince Of Persia from 2009
to 2010.
Rumors are swirling in regards to villains for the next
Batman flick. The latest are Angelina Jolie as
Catwoman, Johnny Depp as the Riddler and Phillip Seymour
Hoffman as the Penguin.
Speaking of Johnny Depp, he has been cast as the Mad
Hatter in Tim Burton's take on Alice In Wonderland.
Sony has stated that they are interested in developing a
Venom spinoff.
Keanu Reeves is being rumored for a role in the live
action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. On a
side note, is there ever a week where that guy isn't up
for a part?
Mike Meyers has officially begun writing a fourth entry
into the Austin Powers series.
2 Guns is now under development over at
Universal. The graphic novel that it will be
adapted from is said to be a sort of throwback to the
action buddy films from the 80s.
Daren Aronofsky's take on Robocop will apparently
not be a new entry into the series, but an actual
reboot.
Ridley Scott's Notthingham has been indefinitely
postponed because of script issues.
Samuel L. Jackson has let it be known that he wants to
be Nick Fury in as many flicks as Marvel will put him
in.
Martin Campbell has signed on Robert De Niro to star
along side Mel Gibson in Edge Of Darkness.
George Lucas recently admitted that the last Indiana
Jones flick was difficult to make because everyone's
success made them hard to work with, and Spielberg
himself wasn't enthusiastic. I call lame on Lucas
throwing everyone under the bus. Who's with me?
