Movie News

Peter Jackson is almost ready to say something about the Hobbit.

Sounds like they’ve come up with an idea that George, Steven, and Harrison can agree on for Indiana Jones 5.

Some dumb Batman 3 rumors.

Damon Lindeloff talks about what to expect with Star Trek 2.

Here’s some set video for Captain America.

Joss Whedeon discusses the Avengers.

Bryan Singer reveals some plot and setting details about X-men First Class. Apparently, some of the proposed Magneto Origins movie is being put into this film.

It’s down to two possibilities for the director spot on Wolverine 2, and given that the Frank Miller/Claremont miniseries is the basis, it comes as no surprise The Hand are who Logan goes up against.

Also, despite how busy he is, Ryan Reynolds is STILL playing Deadpool.

Some casting rumors/hopes for Fantastic Four Reborn. Mmmmm, reboots.

Ghost Rider 2 is set to start shooting in Romania.

The guy responsible for the XXX films has been tapped to write Iron Fist.

Io9 offers a review of Piranha 3D that is definitely worth reading. A co-worker of mine went to see this (but won’t see Inception, so…draw your own conclusions about his taste), and said it was worth waiting for bootleg. Mhm.

Of course, Piranha 3D was beaten (slightly) in the box office this last weekend by Vampires Suck. I say again, mhm.

Producer Guillermo Del Toro explains why, despite having no gore, nudity, graphic violence, or profanity, Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark is rated R.

Bruce Campbell talks about his planned sequel to My Name Is Bruce.

Is Deathly Hollows not going to stand up to the quality of the previous Harry Potters? One fan got to screen it, and has a spoilery review telling the issues. And if you’re too weak to resist spoilers, you can find an even MORE detailed review here! See some stills from the ending.

See some new footage from the latest Resident Evil sequel, in 3D!

And some new footage from Tron Legacy.

Thought he script is still a ways off, creature design and development is already starting for Avatar 2. And did you already buy the DVD? Dummy, of course there’s the special edition with more footage! Now you’re going to give that man even more money aren’t you? Fortunately, we won’t have to put up with Avatards very much for another 4 years.

Are we getting to see the vampire birth scene in the next Twilight movie?...we still don’t know.

Did you love Human Centipede but you were disappointed it was only three people? First off, shame on you, secondly get excited because Human Centipede 2 has 12 people!

Mary Elizabeth Winstead discusses the Thing prequel.

Moby Dick with dragons? Check out Age Of Dragons!

A few more details about David Fincher’s 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.

If you were hoping for even MORE set pics from Transformers 3, then…I take pity on you. When will this end?!?

Television News

See the AWESOME trailer for The Walking Dead!

Want to see the pilot for No Ordinary Family? Well..okay..I mean, if you REALLY wanna…. Also, I guess the show is following the Friends method of episode titles where every one starts out the same. It’d be clever if it was, you know, 20 years ago.

Some interviews with cast members of Fringe. And Lance Reddick talks about the change in pace this season.

And some set pics for the new season of Supernatural.

Some more stuff about this season in Smallville.

Elizabeth Mitchell talks about the new season of V, and here’s some set pics.

For the love of God, will you go buy the DVD or the Bluray of the final season of Lost?! Hey, or get the whole series. Bluray is nice.
