So far the Austin Film Festival has been going well.  I don't necessarily have enough time to write full reviews of everything, but I do plan on doing a sort of rundown when it's all said and done.  How about you?  Anyone go and see something cool?

OK, here's what you came for.  Read on.



- The Rundown -

Terrance Howard has been replaced by Don Cheadle in the upcoming Iron Man 2.

Two movies that I was highly anticipating, The Soloist and Defiance, have been delayed by Paramount until next year.

Word has it that Brett Ratner has signed on to direct the long-gestating remake of Conan.

Warner Bros. has supposedly canned anything to do with Grayskull, the He-Man flick that had been under development.

A fourth entry into the Bourne series is certainly happening, as George Nolfi has been hired to write a script.  Also, Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon have both agreed to return.

Kevin Smith has said that once he shoots Red State he will move onto a currently untilled sci-fi comedy.

It looks as if F. Gary Gray will be Frank Darabont's replacement on Law Abiding Citizen.

Brad Pitt and George Miller are teaming up to adapt Homer's The Odyssey into a futuristic sci-fi epic.  Sounds bizarre, right?

Peter Weir's next film will be The Way Back, which is about soldiers and their journey to freedom after they escape a Soviet prison.

Work has supposedly already begun on a sequel to the upcoming Twilight.

Ridley Scott has acquired the rights to The Forever War.  It would be his first sci-fi flick in over two decades.

Sam Raimi has said that nothing is ready to go on the Spider-Man movies, but he is anxious for the opportunity to direct and make something interesting.

For some reason a sequel to Wall Street is currently being scripted.

Pascal Laugier has been hired to write and direct a reboot of the Hellraiser series.
