Well, they're trying to find someone to cast as Helen for Troy. Who could be Helen when Brad Pitt is Achillies? Apparently they're looking for someone who is "20 on a scale of 1-10."

They're making the story Cassanova into a movie. That will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Apparently there you need to stay through the credits of the new Harry Potter movie. Something funny at the end.

Rumors are flying as to who is going to be cast as Doc Ock for Amazing Spider-Man. Flying all over the place. Also interesting rumors about exactly *which* role Bruce Campbell has been cast for....

Sources say that Bird of Prey is likely not getting picked up by the WB.

Stan Lee is threatening to sue Marvel Comics. Not entirely surprising to me though I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Well, that's kind of complicated. It comes down to the fact that all of these movies being made from characters he created? Because of the way he was employed when he did that, he doesn't get any of it. He says that according to the new contract he signed with Marvel in 98 (when he came back after they declared bankruptcy and all of that) that he's due some of it. Marvel says that they pay him $1 million a year and that should be enough.
