Guillermo Del Toro Has Cast His Frankenstein's Monster
Director Guillermo Del Toro was asked by shocktillyoudrop.com at the premiere of Hellboy II: The Golden Army who he has in mind to play Frankenstein's Monster, his answer long time collabarotar Doug Jones."For the monster I would love to have Doug Jones," he revealed. Jones has worked for the director as a creature performance since Mimic and plays Abe Sapien in the Hellboy films. "I think he can do a fantastic job. Ron looks seven feet tall in Hellboy, but he's not. I think we could do that with Doug, but I would love to do it with him. The only vision of the Frankenstein monster I've ever latched onto is Berni Wrighton's. He's lanky and long and it's gorgeous in a tragic way. Doug has all of those qualities."Well don't hold your breath for this as Del Toro will be busy directing the two Hobbit films first but its good to see he still has other projects on his mind also when asked about who he has in mind for Victor Frankenstein:
"I won't say anything 'cause then you would know what I'm doing."
Riddle Me This, Which Villan Could Appear In the Third Batman?
Its not even out yet and there is already talk about the third instalment in the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy, Gary Oldman spoke to moviehole about Heath Ledger’s role as The Joker and what he thinks will happen for a third film with regards to The Joker.“I don’t see why not. I mean, they did it with Katie Holmes’ character. I understand that this is a different circumstance, but I think another actor could do the job. I think Heath would want another actor to do the job.” Oldman then took a moment to think about it some more, “Maybe we don’t need the Joker. Because we’ll have The Riddler.”

Tartan Films Is Dead

First Look At Hayao Miyazaki Latest
This is the first trailer for Gake no Ue no Ponyo or Pony on a Cliff for us English speaking people. It was premiered on a Japanese TV show so that explains the rather insane set up and weird people watching on in the corner of the screen so it probably won't make much sense but it looks very pretty.

UPDATE: Another New Clip
Edgar Wright Talks Ant-Man
In a recent interview with Edgar Wright he confirmed that Ant-Man is still going ahead (happy times), he also talks about his upcoming projects, Scott Pilgrim, The World's End and Them. So good news for Ant Man and film fans alike heres what Edgar had to say.I wrote that for Marvel and I’m in the process of doing a second draft. I had a lot of fun writing that script, I wrote it with this guy Joe Cornish, who is a really funny UK writer. It’s not really an out-and-out comedy. I think some people assume that it must be a spoof, but it’s not really. I guess it’s as funny as something like Iron Man is, it’s on that level of entertainment, really. It’s a big, high concept, special effects comic book adaptation, and very character-led and we found a way of… I guess in a similar way to Iron Man, the thing that worked with that and hopefully will with this is that it’s a different way of seeing a superhero origin, because you’ve seen so many of them and we really tried to figure out a fresh take on that story. So it’s definitely a Marvel film but it’s got a little twist on it in terms of the way that it plays out.

Robert Rodriguez To Direct Red Sonja
The USA Today is saying that Millennium Films have got Robert Rodriguez to bring Red Sonja back to the big screen with Rose McGowan to be involved in some way, I wonder who Red Sonja will be? David N. White was announced as the screenwriter so its not too sure if Robert Rodriguez will write or co write yet.He also added that the Barbarella remake is delayed because of the writers strike and possible actors strike.
UPDATE: The full USA Today article has gone online and says Robert Rodriguez will not be sitting in the director chair for this one but will produce, Douglas Aarniokoski, whose been a long time collaborator of Rodriguez working often as assistant director will direct the film. Rodriguez had this to say:
"I was surprised when Rose brought me a script of Red Sonja that she liked, I found it very entertaining. Sonja was strong, smart, cunning — just about everything she'd have to be to survive."
Jason Bourne Is Back
Over at iesb.net producer Frank Marshall talks about plans to begin shooting the fourth Jason Bourne movie next Summer, for release in 2010. Director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon are set to return but Marshall said the story for the fourth film will be an original written for the sceen and not based on any previous material.There was a fourth book written, but it was not by Mr. Ludlum. So we’re probably going to take our own direction and we’re working on what that storyline’s gonna be right now.”So where will Bourne end up this time Marshall is predicting South America.

Clint Could Have Punks Running Scared One Last Time
Clint Eastwood in an interview with MTV said he would not competly rule out the idea of another Dirty Harry movie, He told MTV:So there you go if you want to see another Dirty Harry Movie get that pen to paper and write him a great script, my idea Dirty Harry fights the undead, these punks won't stay dead."I'm 78 years old, and you're pretty well drummed out of the police force by that age. There could be a scenario. I suppose if some mythical writer came out of nowhere and it was the greatest thing on the planet, I'd certainly have to think about it, but it's not like I've ever courted it."
"I feel like that was an era of my life, and I've gone on to other things. I'm not sure about being Dirty Harry again, but who knows?"

Batman Does Not Like 'The Dark Knight'
Well it was bound to happen, somebody was gonna come along and say they do not like 'The Dark Knight'. But who'd of guessed it would be Batman himself Adam West? Yep in a recent interview with coventrytelegraph.net he has this to say:I've only seen bits and pieces of [Nolan's Batman movies]. There's an enormous amount of effort and time and money that goes into the making of them, but it's a different generation. They're a different kind of thing than ours was. They're dark, gothic, sinister, full of explosions. We didn't approach it that way at all.
Plus in Dark Knight news, wired has a very cool article with Christopher Nolan about TDK dropping digital effects for the real thing.
Also the HAHAHAHA times is out.

Arrested Development Movie For Next Year?

'A big-screen version of Arrested Development is planned for next year.'Jeffrey Tambor was promoting Hellboy 2 on Craig Ferguson and he also mentions doing it next year! Great interview but scroll to 7:15 if you wanna see him mention the movie!
“When it was on TV, if you missed one word the whole third act could be blown for you. And TV is a different experience. You come home and you've got to finish a call so you miss the first ten minutes or you get snacky and you go to the fridge and you miss another two minutes, so it's a different experience to film.”

Avengers Assemble
Jon Favreau today revealed the supposed line up today in usatoday.But the ones Marvel is talking about now are Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Ant-Man and Iron Man. I would love to see that.Still no word on whats happening with Jon Favreau and Marvel but this seems to be a good sign. However it does not look too good for the Ant-Man film to be directed by Edgar Wright as he is off to make Scott Pilgrim this Autumn so unless he comes directly off that do to Ant-Man, The Avengers movie will be shot first leaving little need too do Ant-Man which would be a shame. Plus there is no confirmed actors for Avengers so its unsure weather Robert Downey Jr, or Edward Norton will return for Avengers due to in house arguments with Marvel Studios.
Want More Dark Knight Here You Go
The Disaster Movie Trailer Is Up And Its Shit
Yes its up and yes its bad you can view it here or you can watch this cracking scene from Robocop when he busts a drug den. Plus if you do dare to watch the trailer you can imagine yourself as Robocop going to the production office of Disaster Movie and killing them all.
Quentin Tarantino Talks Inglorious Bastards

What actually got me to sit down and put pen to paper was 'hey wouldn't it be fun to do a Dirty Dozen kind of thing?' It doesn't look anything like The Dirty Dozen. I don't want it to feel like a period film. I want it to feel current. I want it to feel right now. One of the things I have to battle against is 30 years of Nazi-occupation TV movies where we've all seen the big streets and the vintage cars and the Swastikas, and we've just seen that ad nauseum. This is a modern, in-your-face movie. This is not a TV movie period piece.

Known for his edgy, provocative material developed over 50 years, the bald, bearded Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine called "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television." A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of the routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

Christian Bale To Play Robin ....?
Robin Hood that is, the mail online is reporting a rumor that Christian Bale is the top choice to play the Prince of Thieves in Ridley Scott's Nottingham. Already cast is Russell Crowe as the Sheriff of Nottingham and Sienna Miller as Maid Marian, it is also rumored that Vanessa Redgrave, William Hurt and Saoirse Ronan are all in talks to join the production.Christian Bale, soon to be seen as the caped crusader in The Dark Knight, is in talks about donning the jolly Lincoln Green outfit of Robin Hood, where he will be part of a menage a trois between Russell Crowe's Sheriff of Nottingham and Sienna Miller's Maid Marian.Nothing is signed for Bale, but director Ridley Scott is exceedingly keen to cast him. Costume fittings begin next week, so he'll be either in or out by then.

Spider-Man 4 Swinging In For May 2011
The LA Times is reporting that Spider-Man producer Laura Ziskin wants Spider-Man 4 for May 2011 release date. Still no word if Sam Rami or Tobey Maguire will return but Sam Rami has expressed an interest to return to the series so I am sure if he is directing the cast will return.Also Sony has paid Marvel to renew its rights so I doubt Spider-Man will feature in the Avengers or cameo in any other Marvel Studio film.

Silver Surfer Spin Off Lost In Space

AMCtv.com had a chat with screenwriter J Michael Straczynski on his future film projects and gave a little info about the condition of the Sliver Surfer spin-off and its not looking good. Due to the failure of the Fantastic Four 2, Straczynski does not think the film will be made and had this to say.
Whether or not it ever gets made I don't know because they were kind of disappointed in how Fantastic Four 2 did. And given how this will be a subset of FF2 in terms of the marketing strategy, I think there is hesitation there about putting it forward. The script is pretty good, I like it, but whether or not it goes into production, I have no idea.
J Michael Straczynski also talks about bringing World War Z to the screen.

Cracking New Pic's Gromit
Wallace and Gromit have a brand new business. The conversion of 62 West Wallaby Street is complete and impressive, the whole house is now a granary with ovens and robotic kneading arms. Huge mixing bowls are all over the place and everything is covered with a layer of flour. On the roof is a ‘Wallace patent-pending’ old-fashioned windmill. The transformation is perfect.Although business is booming, Gromit is concerned by the news that 12 local bakers have ‘disappeared’ this year – but Wallace isn’t worried. He’s too distracted and ‘dough-eyed’ in love with local beauty and bread enthusiast, Piella Bakewell, to be of much help.
Sam Rami To Direct Dennis Lehane’s Latest Novel

Sam Rami is been a very busy bee with alot on his plate, putting the finishing touches to his return to horror flick Drag Me To Hell, pondering whither to go back to make Spider-Man 4 (Flicks News hopes so despite 3 been a bit naff) , signing on to direct a new series of Jack Ryan movies for Paramount and working on the TV syndicated series of Terry Goodkind, Wizard’s First Rule.
Take a Breath.
Variety reports that Columbia and Sam Raimi are reuniting on "The Given Day," an adaptation of an upcoming novel by Dennis Lehane, who has had a very impressive novel to film translation from the likes of Clint Eastwood (Mystic River) to Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Gone) and Martin Scorsese, whose Shutter Island should be out later in the year. Sam Rami is looking to direct the as of yet unreleased novel and had this to say.
The Given Day" is set in 1919 Boston, with the city in turmoil as soldiers are returning home from WWI, having brought back an epidemic of Spanish influenza. Attempts to unionize the police department have set the stage for a historic strike and two cops take center stage."While it deals with many of the same themes as (Lehane's) earlier work, it is also his most ambitious book, tying events of a century ago to the subjects we struggle with today,"
Flicks News hope that Sam can cram Evil Dead 4 in aswell.
