Lantern trilogy. The first film hits theaters next

There's a Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark
teaser out, and it's fairly creepy.
Tom Cruise is all signed up for Brad Bird's Mission
Impossible 4, but he has reportedly had to do so a much
smaller salary.
The first
trailer for Unstoppable looks
pretty ridiculous. Should be fun.
David Fincher is looking to add Stellan Skarsgard (Pirates
Of The Caribbean: At World's End) to the cast of Girl
With The Dragon Tattoo.
Ridley Scott is said to be looking at trying to adapt The
Forever War. The novel follows humanity in a war
with an alien species.
F. Gary Gray will direct Hair Of The Dog. The
movie is said to follow a business man who gets stuck in a
blackmail scheme that could cause harm to his family.
The
trailer for Bran Nue Dae is kind of
ridiculous, but I'd watch the movie.
DJ Caruso has begun work on adapting the video game Dead
Space.

seeing one in 3D might be a good time. First trailer
is
here.
Stephen Sommers is coming back to direct the GJ Joe
sequel.
Will Ferrell is said to have signed on to Casa De Mi
Padre (House Of My Father). The supposed

I have no idea how that will work.
Teens everywhere can rejoice! The Burlesque
trailer is here. Sad.
Kurt Russell will star in the sports film Touchback.
The movie sounds like the usual former athlete gets a second

Not much to it, but worth a moment of your time.
Jack Bender (Lost) may direct Moscow, which is
the next movie based on the Jack Ryan character.
Jason Reitman and Diabo Cody may team up again for Young
Adult. The film would star Charlize Theron as a
woman trying to reconnect with her high school love.
Tony Scott is now attached to direct an adaptation of Mark
Millar's Nemesis. The comic is a bit like
Batman, but instead of being a hero, the main character
is a bad guy billionaire who hunts the world's best cops and
tries to avenge the death of his parents.
McG may direct the adaptation of R.I.P.D. The
story deals with a young cop who gets killed and decides to
join God's police force. Ryan Reynolds is still
attached to star.
Barry Munday has a
trailer. Could be a nice indie
flick.

daughter from an outer space prison that's been overrun by
its inmates.
Rumor has it that Quentin Tarantino will direct the reboot
of The Shadow.

of Deadpool.
