In Development

We already knew del Toro was going to take on Frankenstein. We didn’t realize he’d be keeping his clothes on for it.

Kate Winslet and Keira Knightley probably won’t be showing up, but that won’t prevent the Captain America movie from sticking to its roots in World War II.

My weekly read-through of the pages of Production Weekly have yielded a few interesting factoids about some upcoming productions, including Batman 3.

They just can’t leave well enough alone, can they? According to a report form Robert over at IESB yesterday, 20th Century Fox co-chairman Tom Rothman is still eyeing a reboot of the Daredevil franchise.

The success of The Dark Knight has spawned a DC comics film orgy. Warner Bros. lets us know which members of the superhero gang will be invited sooner than later.

Hey kids, take note of this — $626 million dollars worldwide box office gross is going to guarantee that you get a sequel.

Since the release of 300 in 2006, fans have been enamored with director Zack Snyder’s ability to translate the style of Frank Miller to the cinematic medium. Now, we are finally seeing some movement in sequel territory.

If there is anyone who needs to do a little bit of setting the record straight, it is Brett Ratner. Though, I would surmise that the Rat isn’t really looking to get that spotlight off of himself, as he has been one of the most talked about non-working directors of 2008.

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios announced today that they will be teaming up once again, and again, and again on a slew of upcoming flicks, all in the hopes of recapturing the magic of this past summer’s success.

Marvel Studios could be throwing us a curve-ball, as they have engaged in talks with thespian Kenneth Branagh for the directorial gig on Thor. An interesting choice, indeed.

Our resident cynic Rob Hunter calls major bullshit on the latest rumors coming out of Ridley Scott’s Nottingham project, even though the word appears to have come from the director himself.

This scoop is about something so pointless you just have to read it to find out. It involves Cheerleaders…

Variety reports Warner Bros. wants to make an I Am Legend prequel. Since a sequel would be (spoiler alert) Smith-less, for obvious reasons, WB would need to cash in by going back in time.

Rachel McAdams joins the ranks of Guy Ritchie’s forthcoming modernized Sherlock Holmes film.

Cloverfield director Matt Reeves, has signed to direct a remake of the recent Swedish vampire movie, Let the Right One In.

According to the LA Times, Haden Blackman, the producer of Force Unleashed, would love to be able to walk into a theatre and see his tale of Darth Vader’s apprentice on the big screen.

After the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies made the weight of the Magic Kingdom in gold for Disney over the past 5 years, it appears that Johnny Depp might be their sole solution for the current economic crisis.

Hottie and regular topic of conversation Megan Fox is rumored to be up for two different comic adaptations. Which is the better choice? Help us decide as we look at lots of sexy pictures and someone tries to write a valid argument or something. Sexy pictures!!!

Angelina Jolie is many things to many people. In this instance, she is a future CIA agent and about two thirds of the poster for Clint Eastwood’s latest film.

I can see it in my head now - a blood spattered line dance of Patrick Batemans, leg kicking with chainsaws in hand to the sounds of “Hip to Be Square.”
