Hey
Everybody! After a couple of weeks that have
featured lists this post is the one that will
generally showcase what to expect here on Sundays.
It's simply a rundown of the most noteworthy pieces
of movie news that I came across during the week.
Read on.
-
The Rundown -
George
Miller's Justice League movie has been canned by
Warner Bros because of the writer's strike.
Apparently, the script needed more than a few
alterations.
Ain't It Cool News
is running another round of reader-submitted questions
for Sylvester Stallone. The guy genuinely seems to
enjoy opening up and sharing tidbits about his career.
The oft-delayed Fanboys now has the Apatow group
in its corner. Word is they've cut multiple
versions of the film and will screen them all to see
which one garners the most positive response.
Rumors are swirling that the final Harry Potter movie,
Deathly Hallows, might be split into two films.
The poorly titled X-Men Origins: Wolverine has
asked Michelle Monaghan to be Silver Fox.
George Clooney's critically appraised work in Michael
Clayton will be getting another shot at commercial
success on January 25 when the film is set to be
re-released in theaters across North America.
Michel Gondry's follow-up to Be Kind Rewind will
be an animated film based on the Migel Munya
comic that his son, Paul, created.
Scarlett Johansson will direct a five minute segment in
New York, I Love You, which is the American
version of Paris Je T'aime.
Ellen Page has signed on to be in Drew Barrymore's
directorial debut, Whip It. The film is
apparently about a sarcastic (of course) girl who gets
into roller derby while in Austin, TX.
Charlize Theron and Viggo Mortensen will be teaming up
in The Road. The story centers around Viggo and
his quest to find safety in the aftermath of a nuclear
explosion.
George Romero has released the first trailer for
Diary Of The Dead on
Myspace.

film about international drug dealer Jon Roberts.

Michael Mann's new gangster flick, Public Enemies.
