Oi - According to The Hollywood Reporter, Josh Hartnett, who tested for the project, has elected not to portray the Man of Steel in Warner Bros.' Superman adaptation from director Brett Ratner.

From Variety - "We're not going to end it by saying, 'There can be no "Buffy" no more,'" Whedon said. "But it definitely has a message of emotional and thematic closure that's as important as anything we've said." Although UPN doesn't have the rights to a "Buffy" spin-off, executives have indicated their interest and Whedon said he's willing. The timetable is up in the air, however. "I think ideally the best thing to do would be to wait and not rush anything," Whedon added. "There are paradigms that I've posited that could start next year -- (but) whatever came next, it would have to have at its center an idea as worthy as ('Buffy' and spinoff 'Angel') were. And somebody who's pretty."
New Line says that there are currently no plans to attach a clip for the third (RotK) and final installment onto the second film (TTT).

Both could be candidates for them to attach a trailer to.

The family go to see him perform the Shakespeare play "Macbeth," but bring him bad luck by saying the play's name aloud -- in defiance of a well-known theatrical superstition.
Superhero Hype! reports that 20th Century Fox and Regency Enterprises have officially announced an Elektra movie, in addition to a Daredevil sequel.
