This
week sees the return of the film updates. I
didn't necessarily go all the way back into what was
missed over the little break that I took, but if it
was something important I made sure to include it.
Read on.

The Rundown -
It makes no
sense at all, but recent reports have indicated that
Marvel is refusing to give Jon Favreau a raise for
Iron Man 2.
As for another Marvel related tidbit, rumor has it that
the higher-ups are very interested in having either
Leonardo DiCaprio or Brad Pitt as Captain America.
Anyone else think that DiCaprio would be unlikely with a
schedule that includes a lot of projects lined up at his
own Appian Way?
In a recent interview for Latino Review Mike Meyers made
it clear that he won't be appearing in another live
action film for another three to five years.
Apparently, that's how long he thinks it will take him
to write and develop another script.
Millennium Films have stated that they intend to do a
new Three Musketeers film.
Jenna Jameson will be portraying herself in How To
Make Love To A Woman. The indie romantic
comedy is said to center around a guy trying to figure
out ways to satisfy his lady before her handsome
childhood friend steals her away. Josh Meyers,
Krysten Ritter and Ian Somerhalder are also set to
appear in the film.
Tony Emmerich's apocalyptic film 2012 has added
Amanda Peet to a cast that already includes John Cusack,
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover and
Oliver Platt.
No one
knows why, but Sony Pictures Animation is all set to
make a Smurfs movie.
Ryan Gosling is currently under negotiations to star in
The Dallas Buyer's Club, which is the true story
about Ron Woodroof and the smuggling business that he
created in order to get alternative drugs to himself and
other people with AIDS.
Judd Apatow's next directorial effort will be called
Funny People, which is said to center around the
world of stand-up comedy and a comedian who has a
near-death experience. As of now, Eric Bana, Jason
Schwartzman and Jonah Hill are set to star.
Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) recently
stated that he and Nick Stoller intend on making the
return of the Muppets to the screen one that's as
traditional as possible.
Harrison Ford will next appear in Crowley.
The drama is said to center around a scientist trying to
find a cure for a genetic disorder that's affecting two
younger siblings.
Cameron Crowe is set to make a new romantic comedy with
Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon. No word yet on
the plot or a title.
Rumor has it that Bruce Willis and Nicholas Cage will be
Kane & Lynch in the upcoming adaptation of the
video game with the same name.
Tobey Maguire's Robotech seems as if it might be
gaining some ground towards actually being made;
Lawrence Kasden (Empire Strikes Back, Return
Of The Jedi, Raiders Of The Lost Ark) has
been hired to pen a script.
