This first, though: "Poland may reduce its commitment of forces to the war in Iraq by 40 percent by January 2005 and have all its troops out by the end of that year, Polish officials said Monday."

Simon Kinberg has been hired to write X3. He's written a lot of other scripts but none of them have come out yet. He's written the scripts for FF, Elektra, xXx2 and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. So, we'll see. Apparently he's an amazing X-men geek, though, so there is some hope there. The studio has been in "indepth" negotiations with Joss Whedon. Patrick Stewart says they're starting filming next June.

Here is the final trailer for Alexander. This movie has been pushed back until Thanksgiving and apparently it is because there is too much man nookie in it and the suits at WB are nervous. It's a rumor but it wouldn't surprise me if it were true. It seems fitting.

I think John Woo has lost it. He's writing and producing a He-Man movie. Adam Rifkin is writing. If He-man weren't associated with that combination, I'd think it sounded good...

The rumor machine is already cranking up on a sequel for Batman Begins. The script walks right up to it but apparently that's not who they'd be dealing with in the sequel. My vote would be Harvey Dent all the way.

Don't forget, Aladdin comes out on DVD tomorrow.

Apaprently J. Michael Straczynski is a fan favorite towards being a director for the Star Wars TV show. I have to say, he's the only name that's been bandied about thus far that doesn't make me cringe. He's on record as saying he thinks it would "certainly be the job of a lifetime".

And that's it for now.

Seriously!?!?! Dude! I thought they were going pussy out and leave the fact that Alexander and everyone else in that region were flag waving (read:wang swinging) homos. ;) Suddenly, I have much more hope for that movie.

Also... he-man movie? This seems to be the weekend of Teh Ghey. ;)

Well, as far as I can tell, the suits at the WB are looking for a re-edit. We'll see what Oliver Stone does. He's so fond of people telling him what to do with his movies.

If he does edit it, I'll be looking for an unedited DVD version, that's for sure.

Well, Alexander and company WERE Greek. There wasn't exactly a stigma attached to same-sex relations in that part of the world, back in those days.

As for the He-Man thing, a movie done right would be less like the first cartoon series and more like the second. Basically it would be akin to "Conan the Barbarian" but with Sky-Sleds and Laser Pistols alongside Swords and Sorcery.

Well, yes. I know that. Alexander was quite distinctly bisexual, though that term isn't really correct for the way things worked then.

Well, of course. I just don't think anyone makes good sword and sorcery movies these days... if ever. Conan was excellent but there hasn't really been a genre there. I'd like Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser movies better.
