litheraWow, I've missed doing this. A little surprising.
Good news for a possible Batman movie. Admittedly Blade wasn't the best movie ever, but it /did/ get the character pretty well. (In the essence and attitude.)
The cover for the 5th Harry Potter book.
More news about the possibility of Ripper (Giles... Wooo...) - Yes, the BBC is still interested. Everyone is - though it might end up starting as a 2 hour TV movie sort of deal and then see what happens from there.
More rumors about the Indiana Jones script. Apparently it is finished and it is in the '50s and they're scouting filming locales in Isreal. ... I wish them luck with that.
Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman is being targeted for a fall release, straight to video animation.
William Goldman has been tapped to write the Shazam! movie for New Line Cinema.
Smallville has been picked up for a third season. Smallville creators/executive producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have signed a two-year deal to remain as show-runners on Smallville.
So many video games out there that I need to get my hands on. *sighs* Batman - Dark Vengance, Wolverine's Revenge, Gotham Racing, Final Fantasy stuff.
Columbia/Sony announced late Wednesday that the Spider-Man sequel is moving from May 7, 2004 to July 2, 2004. The move, which could ease a tight production schedule, puts Spider-Man in direct competition with Will Smith's I, Robot. This also makes Van Helsing the first big movie of the summer next year.
Kvein' Smith's inaction figures are pretty great looking. Series 1 features Jay, Silent Bob, Randal and Dante from Smith's Clerks. Jon Matthews has sculpted, based on designs by Clerks cartoon animator Stephen Silver. All figures measure roughly 5 inches.
Series 2 is scheduled for a fall release, will feature characters from Mallrats, including Brodie, Willam, Jay, Silent Bob, Steve-Dave and Fanboy. With two releases scheduled per year, future series will feature a wide array of characters from all of the Kevin Smith/View Askew movies; Dogma, Chasing Amy and Jay & Silent Bob Strikes Back.
Spirited Away, the 2003 Academy Award winning animated feature from acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, is set to open in theaters across the country on Friday March 28. A re-release? I'm up for it. I loved it the first time.
Casey Affleck has joined the cast of The World of Tomorrow, the independently financed sci-fi thriller that stars Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie. Variety reports that the effects-heavy film revolves around a reporter (Paltrow) and pilot (Law) who go on an adventure just before the start of WWII.
Apparently there will be very little quidditch in Azkaban. I understand why and am, in a way, very happy about it. I am sad that the lovely people playing the players will not be in the movie so much due to that, but there is so much more to the story than that. Besides, ther ewill be tons and tons of quidditch in the fourth one.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Maid in Manhattan helmer Wayne Wang has closed a deal to stir things up for New Line Cinema, directing Adam Sandler and Zhang Ziyi in "Good Cook, Likes Music". The film centers on a slacker and lovable loser (Sandler) who lives with his mother in a trailer park. One drunken night, he sends away for a mail-order bride (Zhang) who ends up being a musical prodigy, and they change each other's lives.
According to Variety, Brett Ratner will no longer direct Superman for Warner Bros. Pictures. Ratner had previously agreed to make Rush Hour 3 at sister studio New Line Cinema who have just hired Bad Company scribe Jason Richman to write the script. While the director has already made his deal for the second sequel, the same can't be said for Tucker and Chan. New Line wants the stars to return.
Paramount Pictures has acquired the rights to Tom Clancy's latest thriller Red Rabbit and signing Saving Private Ryan scribe Robert Rodat to adapt the book.
Return of the King spoilers starting to trickle in. I know you can't really spoil it since it's be in print forever, but you can learn things about how it will be presented.
That's enough for now. Maybe some later when websites are cooperating a bit more with me.
