Time for your weekly notable news update!  Below you'll find a slew of sentences meant to provide a brief glimpse of what's been going on over the past week in movieland.  If something leaves you desperate for more info then my advice is to do a little extra research on one or all of the following fantastic sites:  Latino Review, Dark Horizons, Ain't It Cool News, CHUD and/or JoBlo.  Now, read on!
 

Movie News Rundown

Terrence Malick and Christian Bale are reportedly set to do another film together.  No word yet on a title or plot.

Sean Hood (Conan The Barbarian - 2011) recently said he's written a script for a fifth Rambo movie.  The exact premise isn't known, but it's being described as a small-town thriller.

Carnage looks like it's going to be great.  Check out the trailer.

Ridley Scott has announced that he is working on a sequel to Blade Runner.  Harrison Ford is not expected back.

I like Clive Owen, so I'm kind of in for Intruders.  Check out the trailer.

Because of scheduling issues, Bradley Cooper has dropped out of The Crow remake.

Brian De Palma is reportedly set to direct The Key Man.  The movie will supposedly follow a man on the run from government agents who think his body contains national secrets.

Puncture could be a good one.  Here's the trailer.

Tony Scott is said to be considering a remake of 1969's The Wild Bunch.

Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance looks amazingly ridiculous. I'm in. Here's the trailer.

Will Smith may star in Shawn Levy's remake of Fantastic Voyage.

Michael Fassbender has been offered the lead role in Prisoners, which is said to be about a man who is looking for the person that kidnapped his daughter.

The Woman In Black looks creepy.  Here's the trailer.

Keira Knightley is reportedly in early talks to star in Rosaline.  The film is based on the novel When You Were Mine, which tells the story of Romeo And Juliet from the perspective of a Capulet named Rosaline.

Matthew McConaughey has signed on to star in Magic Mike.  He will play a former stripper who now owns a club.

I've never heard of Trishna, but I really like this trailer.

Dakota Fanning will star in Effie. The biopic will tell the story of Euphemia "Effie" Gray, who was a teenager when she entered into a disastrous marriage with an art critic in the 1850s.

Brad Pitt may star in The Gray Man, which is said to be about a CIA operative-turned-assassin who is trying to save his daughters.

I honestly can't tell if the trailer for Machine Gun Preacher is real or not.
